dc42 auto-calibration doesn't go all the way to the bed

dc42 auto-calibration doesn't go all the way to the bed
March 11, 2016 08:35PM
So I've got my Duet all set up for my Mini Kossel, but when I run the auto-calibration (G32) the effector only goes to about 30mm above the bed. When I put my hand under the sensor (IR Probe), it senses it so I know the sensor is working.

Has anyone had this problem?

I dont own a z probe but in the config you have to set the height and threshold "G31 " I think

Post a least your Z probe related config.g, so DC can take a look if there an error there or its somewhere else

look at height defined in config.g

G31 X0 Y0 Z4.8 P500 ; Set the zprobe height and threshold (put your own values here)

Your using the stock value there... maybe that where your problem at

Check the instruction on david website, the section called "Testing and commissioning the board"

Things you need to do:

1. Calibrate the G31 trigger height of the Z probe as already discussed.

2. In the M665 command set the H parameter to the approximate nozzle height when the carriages are right at the top and triggering the homing switches. It sounds as though you have it set 30mm too low at present. Also check that the D parameter is correct for your build.

3. Temporarily increase the dive height until you have done the initial caibration, by adding an H parameter to the M558 command, e.g. H30 to increase the dive height to 30mm.
