Need Help With BL Touch
March 17, 2018 09:52PM
Hi, I'm trying to add a BL Touch to my 3D Printer and am having a slight issue. I have a core XY printer with an Einsy Rambo board and using Marlin 1.1.8. I followed the instructions provided with the BL Touch and also referred to several sources I found online. I have the BL Touch installed and when I turn on the printer the BL Touch does its lil' calibration thing, but after that I don't get any response from it. I did have a hard time trying to figure out a proper servo pin to use for the BL Touch, I ended up using the Fan1 plug on the Einsy Board. It was the only pin that I saw that was just a PWM pin that I figured I could safely use. I know others have used they Y end stop Min_PIN but I am currently using that pin for my Y mechanical end stops.

Here are the lines of code from my Config.h file relevant to the BL Touch Set up:

============================= Endstop Settings ===========================
#define USE_ZMIN_PLUG

============================ Z Probe Options =============================
#define Z_MIN_PROBE_USES_Z_MIN_ENDSTOP_PIN

#define BLTOUCH
#define servo0_PIN 6 //Fan1 PWM pin
#if ENABLED(BLTOUCH)
#define BLTOUCH_DELAY 100 // (ms) Enable and increase if needed
#endif

#define X_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER 39 // X offset: -left +right [of the nozzle]
#define Y_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER -3 // Y offset: -front +behind [the nozzle]
#define Z_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER 2.5 // Z offset: -below +above [the nozzle]

#define Z_CLEARANCE_DEPLOY_PROBE 15 // Z Clearance for Deploy/Stow
#define Z_CLEARANCE_BETWEEN_PROBES 10 // Z Clearance between probe points

============================== Bed Leveling ==============================
#define AUTO_BED_LEVELING_BILINEAR

============================ Additional Features ===========================
#define EEPROM_SETTINGS // Enable for M500 and M501 commands

========================== R/C SERVO support ==========================
#define NUM_SERVOS 1 // Servo index starts with 0 for M280 command
#define SERVO_DELAY { 300 }


In pin_EISNYRAMBO.h - I set the FAN1_PIN to -1 ( just to make sure there wasn't any conflicts)

If you need any more info just ask.
Thanks for any help.

Oh, btw if you happen to know of another pin that I can use for the servo that would be good. That way I can have my fan pin back.

Hello, I am looking for a program Marlin v 1.1.8 (or other version) prepared (reprogrammed) for my printer Anet A6 using a sensor BLtouch level (here is the link of the support of the sensor which I installed with OFFSET : [www.thingiverse.com] )
thing:2451350
Verry thanks !! thumbs up smiling smiley
PS: or a tuto ( existing one but for anet A8 )
