Marlin 2.0.x sensorless probing and probes variables

Hello,

I am configuring Marlin 2.0.x with sensorless probing which works fine.
I have set Marlin 2.0.x on a SKR Pro v1.1 with TMC 2209 for a dual pellet extruder custom printer.

Now for bed leveling I will consider the nozzle of E0 as the actual probe?
For example I would need to change the following?

#define NOZZLE_TO_PROBE_OFFSET {10,10,0}

to

#define NOZZLE_TO_PROBE_OFFSET {0,0,0}

or these variables are ignored for sensorless probing?
Anything else I need to consider?

thx

If you want to use sensorless homing on Z and run the nozzle into the bed then yes, the X and Y probe offsets would be 0.

However, I would highly discourage you from trying to use sensorless homing on Z. Because the Z axis usually uses leadscrews and has a lot of torque, getting sensorless homing to work reliably on Z is very difficult - you need to set a very low threshold which introduces noise.

Hello,

ok great will set it t o 0,0,0.
I have it already working and as you said the sensitivity variable was tricky to find.
Here is a video.

Thx

Hello,

trying to figure out all the variables settings for the sensorless probing.
I got the nozzle to be used as a probe on my SKR Pro v1.1 with TMC 2209, but I am not clear how to set the various variables available in the Z-Probe options of Marlin 2.0.x configuration.h, I set the following:


#define NOZZLE_TO_PROBE_OFFSET { 0, 0, 0 }
// Certain types of probes need to stay away from edges
#define MIN_PROBE_EDGE 50

#define Z_CLEARANCE_DEPLOY_PROBE 1 // Z Clearance for Deploy/Stow
#define Z_CLEARANCE_BETWEEN_PROBES 10 // Z Clearance between probe points
#define Z_CLEARANCE_MULTI_PROBE 10 // Z Clearance between multiple probes
#define Z_AFTER_PROBING 10 // Z position after probing is done

#define Z_PROBE_LOW_POINT 0 // Farthest distance below the trigger-point to go before stopping

// For M851 give a range for adjusting the Z probe offset
#define Z_PROBE_OFFSET_RANGE_MIN -10
#define Z_PROBE_OFFSET_RANGE_MAX 10


So the behavior of the probe/nozzle is that it goes around 1mm below the bed, I test this with a piece of wood and I see the marking of the nozzle.

Any suggestions?
thx

After testing with the above configuration I got some strange results.
Basically I did bed leveling from the screen and the carriage moved from x,y,z 0,0,0 to x,y,z 650,50,20
even though the log says x,y,z 0,50,20 ,is like x did not move ???

I know is 650 because x moved all the way to the end of the bed.

But that's it, it did not do anything else even if I set to do a BILINEAR bed leveling with 12 GRID points.

Doing G29 Q and M420 V got the following result after doing the bed leveling:
( I know the grid with 12 points is too big and I already changed to 4)

current_position= X0.00 Y50.00 Z20.00 : >>> G29

I am looking into the same for a IDX type Tronxy X1 with a different bed that got screws on each end of the heatbed. So my plan was to hit each end of the corner to just Z probe each corner.

Plan to use SKR PRO 1.1 board and Marlin 2.0.x. So hope you get this right.
