Smart Effector + Skr Nano + Klipper

I am setting up my first Klipper controller on a Home made (huge) Delta Printer. I am using a RPi3B + Skr Nano controller board. Installation went fine and I can home the printer and move the motors around just fine. I am having some trouble setting up a Smart Effector. Here is what I have so far:

  1. Effector (OUT) - Nano pin gpio22 probe signal pin
  2. Effector (Vcc) - Nano 5v servo pin
  3. Effector (GROUND) - Nano Servo GND pin
  4. Effector (Z MOD) - Nano gpio29 Servo pin

When I first turn on the printer, the Effector starts the 6 blinks for 1-2 minutes. After that the Effector LED is lights up sometimes with I tap the nozzle, but when I try the QUERY_PROBE, it always says open even when the Effector LED shows it’s resting on the build plate.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

Was the issue there fixed?
I’m thinking about going with a btt octopus+smart effector for my Delta build, but I’m not sure if the smart effector works with non duet boards

For the age of the thread, I recommend to open a new one with all requested information.
