BL-Touch fährt nicht aus

HansGustav

Hallo together,ich habe ein Problem mit meinem BL-Touch. Wenn ich den Drucker einschalte, dann fährt der Sensor zweimal aus und wieder ein und leuchtet danach rot. Wenn ich die z-Achse dann leveln möchte, dann fährt die Z-Achse in Richtung des Betts aber der Sensor fährt nicht aus. Ich muss den Strom dann wieder ausschalten, damit der Druckkopf nicht auf den Tisch fährt. Außerdem funktionieren die ganzen M-Befehle für den BL-Touch auch nicht. Kann mir hierbei jemand helfen?Der Bl-Touch ist richtig angeschlossen und die Config.h habe ich auch schon mehrmals überprüft. Kann mir dabei jemand weiterhelfen?

MartinH

what control board does your printer have ?

HansGustav

I have an Arduino Due with a radds 1.6

MartinH

Are you supplying an external 5 volt source for the servos ?

HansGustav

Yes, I have an external 5V supply for the servos. The red light of the bl touch is on, but the pin does not come out by levelling.

MartinH

Your config looks ok, only other thing i can think of is wrong pin number for the servo pwm, googling radds 1.6 there seems to be some confusion regarding pin numbers for the due ports.

HansGustav

Thank you, but the pin numer should be the right one. I checked it several times

several months ago i installed a BLTouch using the ramps board and repetier firmware.

Used BLTouch as Z-Min.

The first step is hardware connection:
wiring: 3-pin cable: brown-> GND, red -> 5V, Orange - servo pin of board2-pin cable: black -> GND, white -> Z_Min-Pin

configuration.h: I think, minimum is:
FEATURE_SERVO 1
SERVO0_PIN 5
SERVO0_NEUTRAL_POS -1 (other than yours)

Check commands to control BLTouch
(The two ups and downs after power on are just selftest, no control signal is necessary for this. But GND and 5V seems to be ok in your case if this happens)

M340 P0 S700: Probe Start --> Needle down

M340 P0 S1500: Probe End --> Needle up

M340 P0 S1800: Self test start --> needle up/ down in endless loop
Self test stop: for example M340 P0 S1500

M340 P0 S2200 : Alarm Release (Cancel Error status)
After Alarm Release (should be part of your start script you need a brake until Proe start is sent. For example I have:
M340 P0 S2200
G4 P310
M340 P0 S700

If the commands do not work, you need to check the servo pin at your board (must be an pwm signal). Can the board drive the 5V for the servo? (max 300mA)

Do you use BLTouch as Z-Min? If yes, the Z-Min settings are wrong. At my printer, if the BLTouch is in error state, sends 4,2V to Z-Min pin of board which means, that Z_Min is reached and Z-Homing stops.

Hope this helps!

HansGustav

Thank you.

Yes, I use the BL-touch for z-min. But what is wrong with my z-min settings. I can not find the mistake.

Scottty

I really would start to reach manual control of BLTouch using the M340 P0 commands as step 1.

There are the least preconditions.

As far as I know only two:

#define FEATURE_SERVO 1
#define SERVO0_PIN 5

the Pin number depends on your board and where you want to connect.

There I can't help, i have a rumba board.

Its necessary to find the right pin on your board to provide the PWM servo signal to BLTouch.

If 5V, GND are ok and the BLTouch as the control signal is ok, you'll see the needle movement.

Only then I would procees with next steps.

HansGustav

Good morning,I have still a problem with my BL-Touch. The BL-Touch makes the self test and all commands are working. The only command which is not working is M340 P0 S700, to start the probing.Does somebody have an idea why?
Best Regards Hans

Scottty

So if those commands are working:
M340 P0 S1500: Probe End --> Needle up
M340 P0 S1800: Self test start --> needle up/ down in endless loop
and M340 P0 S700 does not,

try M340 P0 S650 or M340 P0 S750 or even 800
This would help if your board or your BLTouch has a timing which is not optimal.

The BLTouch Probe Start should be activated by a whole range of values from x to y, for example 500 to 900.
If the timing is correct, 700 is mid of x to y. So another value could do the job in your case.

Hi there!
Gentlemans, i'm in this kind of trouble too!
I have here, on my 1.6 ramps the same "still stood" servo. And i can't find the correct pin to link de PWM.
Some on solved it? Or problem still unsolved?
tanks!

Repetier

Any pin works with servo as long as you set number of servos to 1 and the pwm pin number to the selected one.
