How setup an inductive Zprobe

General Discussion
1

Hi,

until yesterday i was using a BlTouch, but i am giving a try to Inductive zprobe (Pinda style), these model PEPPERL AND FUCHS NBN2,5-8GM35-E1L.

But i dont know how configure it… someone can give info?

The last error i am receiving its: “Unknown pin conchip name ‘probe’”. Seems related, not sure, that in config i have

[stepper_z]
endstop_pin: probe:z_virtual_endstop
....

This works with BlTouch…but no with Pinda style zprobe

Where i can find info?

Thanks

Dear Peurif, you should not use probe:z_virtual_endstop as endstop, just use the pin where the peperl and fuchs is connected

Thx… I haved solved…

Its working perfect for months

Sorry, can you elaborate?

Why not? Works like a charme!
Depending on the printer model he can perform Z_TILT with it and not only homing Z.

Suppose you have connected your sensor to a pin called PE1, as an example
image
Then, in the printer.cfg, inside [stepper_z], you should not write
endstop_pin: probe:z_virtual_endstop
The right line must look like this one
endstop_pin: PE1
Or may be you need to invert the behaviour of the sensor, in this case:
endstop_pin: !PE1
That’s all

If you use the probe for homing as well (which typically is done), then the only correct notation is endstop_pin: probe:z_virtual_endstop
