Hello,

I'd like to use one Duet one my new cartesian printer.
All is ok for the configuration except for the auto level !
how to setup auto level on cartesian printer with mini Z IR sensor ?

Thank you for your help

You have an example of a macro bed.g for a cartesian (here an Ormerod ) here :

RepRap_Firmware_macros#bed.g [reprap.org]

Another possibility is to set the probe points directly in config.g, without creating a bed.g - this is an extract of the Ormerod image on DC42 repository -.
;*** Adjust the XY coordinates in the following M557 commands to suit your build and the position of the IR sensor
M557 P0 X60 Y0         ; Four... 
M557 P1 X60 Y165       ; ...probe points...
M557 P2 X222 Y165      ; ...for bed...
M557 P3 X222 Y0        ; ...levelling
;M557 P4 X141 Y82.5    ; 5th probe point for levelling (un-comment this if you are using a dc42 differential IR probe)

;*** If you have a modulated IR probe with on-board microcontroller, change P2 to P1 in the following
M558 P2                ; Use a simple modulated Z probe (change to P1 for an intelligent Z probe)
G31 Z1.20 P500         ; Set the probe height and threshold (put your own values here)
