Anybody using IR Probe - Duet3D ?
How is this setup in printer.cfg
it should be like an optical endstop. connect to vcc, grd, out and configure the pin with a pullup (a ^ in front of the pin name). Don’t think you need to do anything special.
You need to set it up like a bltouch:
So for your Z-Stepper you will need something like:
[stepper_z]
endstop_pin: probe:z_virtual_endstop
position_min: -2.5
And the [probe] section:
[probe]
pin: ^your_pin_here
x_offset: your_offset
y_offset: your_offset
z_offset: your_offset
speed: 5.0
I just wonder how to reliably determine the offsets with this kind of probe. For z_offset probably 0,0 but the rest looks tricky.
To verify the probe is working I’d recommend:
- Move the bed away from the tool-head
- Start homing
- Trigger the probe with your finger
- If the bed does not stop, panic, scream and reset your board before the tool-head smashes into your bed
Thank you guys. Today I will receive my new board = Duet 3 Mini 5+ Wifi|v0.5 + IR Probe.
Will run native to start with until Klipper config can be run on this board.
@sineos Do you have any other solution suggestions? Just like you said, the bed does not stand still. I’m running to the off button like crazy. (:
Thread is a bit old but I couldn’t find a working example. I hate 3d touch and don’t want to use it. I bought MKS IR z Probe a long time ago and thought of using it. Otherwise, I will buy BTT mini probe and try it.
