Z probe dosnt stop when Z is homed
January 17, 2019 06:11PM
Pretty much as the title states, I see videos of others using their Z probes online and mine does not act the same way. auto level cant be done unless I home each axis to 0. The issue is the Z Probe dosnt stop my Z axis from going down when homed. The Z probe is deploying and does read as trigged when it triggerd but it dosnt stop the Z axis during homing. I assumed since I'm not using a Z min endstop and that the Z probe is using the Z min endstop placement on ramps 1.4 board I would think when its triggered it should act as a endstop and stop the Z axis from going down further.

when I home Z axis with the probe it starts its decent and deploys the probe, if I trigger the probe with my finger it triggers and light goes off on probe for a split second and then deploys the probe back out, it continues to do this until it smashes in to the bed.

I'm using most recent version of marlin firmware, using Ramps 1.4 board and 3D touch (BLTouch clone) Z probe

Below is my settings I have set for both the "Endstop settings" & "Z Probe settings"

* Endstop Noise Filter

* NOTE: Enabling this feature means adds an error of +/-0.2mm, so homing

* reduce accuracy of some bed probes.
* For mechanical switches, the better approach to reduce noise is to install
* a 100 nanofarads ceramic capacitor in parallel with the switch, making it
* essentially noise-proof without sacrificing accuracy.
* This option also increases MCU load when endstops or the probe are enabled.
* So this is not recommended. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
* (This feature is not required for common micro-switches mounted on PCBs
* based on the Makerbot design, since they already include the 100nF capacitor.)
