Z probing, Homing ok, Not editing Transformation Matrix, Marlin to Repetier

dbrown31

Attempting to switch from Marlin firmware to Repetier, but having some difficulties with the auto leveling. My physical printer setup is a Cartesian printer with x min y min and Z min (inductive sensor by dual nozzle carriage).

When printer homes X first, Y second, and then Z. Printer goes to certain z point and lowers an additional fraction which is just enough clearance for a piece of paper to slide underneath (I have successfully adjusted Z Probe Height for this). I do have a side question regarding the distance it backs off the x and y endstops, can this be configured as in marlin it would go to the endstop and rest on them until homing was complete?

After I run a G32 S2 command, printer moves in x and y, does not physically appear to move up and down in z or at least as slow as it did in marlin and I receive the following results in the log...

16:19:37.033 : Error:Z-probe failed

16:19:39.682 : Error:Z-probe failed

16:19:42.863 : Error:Z-probe failed

16:19:42.871 : Transformation matrix: 1.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 1.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 1.000000

Is this a speed issue? Inverse direction (can't imagine so as I have played some with those parameters)? I have set ALWAYS_CHECK_ENDSTOPS to false (0) and then Y does not home properly as it goes to the end stop, triggers, backs off, and then proceeds to try and ram through the endstop. If anyone would be so kind to take a look at what I believe to be the relevant configuration parameters it would be much appreciated. In addition the Bed Height Map will only work for Z max probing? Repetier appears to be favorable to marlin as far as starting to use my second extruder being that Repetier has multiple parameters in eeprom.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND EFFORTS!!!!!!!!!!

Repetier

Please check G31 before probing. If the signal is high before you start probing it will fail just because it thinks probe is triggered. Invert the signal if he is wrong or add pullup for mechanical endstop.

THANK YOU REPETIER!!!

My solution appears to have been setting Z_PROBE_ON_HIGH to 1 or true.

Thanks so much!!!
