I’m trying to calibrate my new Beacon Probe. I home x and y but it won’t let me move the head to the center x,y coordinates without homing z
klippy.log (3.8 MB)

I’m not sure, what you are reporting:

  • Your Klipper configuration does neither indicate that you are using probe_eddy_current nor that you are using the unofficial Beacon modifications
  • For the original Beacon mods follow their instructions here: https://beacon3d.com/
  • If problems with these Beacon modifications arise, please revert directly to them for potential support

Thanks, its an official H. I’ll reach out to them. I followed all of their instruction. I just found another post stating that you have to disable bed mesh to move x and y. Strange it’s not showing up because its reading past measurements when I do a Beacon query

From the log you provided it does not seem that the sensor is installed properly.

Ah LOL. The beacon guys “hide” the unofficial modification:

# exclude beacon.py from klipper git tracking
if ! grep -q "klippy/extras/beacon.py" "${KDIR}/.git/info/exclude"; then
    echo "klippy/extras/beacon.py" >> "${KDIR}/.git/info/exclude"
fi
echo "beacon: installation successful."

Now this seems quite desperate.

Thanks Sineos, It turned out that I had to turn my bed mesh leveling off. Once I did that everything worked. It’s one of those simple things that’s probably obvious to others but I had a hard time finding it in searches. Thats strange about the logs but everything is working. Thanks again

Holy Hell they shoved everything into that python file. That could be a masterclass case study in how to spot a need to refactor.
