BLTouch V1

HI
I want to use an extra endstop on the Z alongside the BLTouch, to stop the bed hitting the top of the steppers when it moves down. I have it working correctly for the homing using the BLT, but I can't work out how to do the extra endstop, I know it has to be on the spare extruder on the DuetWiFi, any help on a sample config would be great. I have read the doku on the Duet website but I have either missed it or misunderstood it.

Thanks

Assuming the BLTouch is connected to the Z probe input, then you can still connect your extra switch to the Z endstop input.

How do you want to use the switch: to home to max Z (bed all the way down), or to cause an emergency stop when it is triggered?

Hi dc42

I wanted it to be for the home to max ie: when the bed is all the way down.

My BLTouch is connected as the Z probe.

; Endstops
M574 X1 Y1 S0 ; Set active high endstops
; Z-Probe
M574 Z1 S2 ; Set endstops controlled by probe
M558 P9 H5 F120 T6000 X0 Y0 Z1 ; Set Z probe type to bltouch and the dive height + speeds
G31 P500 X0 Y15 Z2.5 ; Set Z probe trigger value, offset and trigger height
M557 X15:300 Y15:300 S30 ; Define mesh grid
M307 H3 A-1 C-1 D-1 ; Disable heater on PWM channel for BLTouch



The M574 is set to Z1 though what would I have to change there.

Use M574 Z2 S1 (or S0 if your endstop is active high or an NO switch) and search the Duet3D wiki page for "homing z".
