Hi!
I have converted an old Thermwood CNC to a printer with the following
Duet2
Teknic Clearpath SDHP
Custom Z board to manage brake (pic below)
Dyze Typhoon with 1.2mm nozzle
BLTouch
Homing with the BLTouch completes perfectly by touching down to the table. I can jog fine too after homing. However when I start to test extrude (after enabling cold extrude) the BLtouch engages and retracts about 1Hz or so. Can anyone offer a sanity check on the below config?
Video of the flickering BLTouch attached.

Kind regards, David.
