Genuine BL-Touch Smart v3.1

I’ve had a world of hurt trying to get klipper to communicate to the pi and finally got there by wiring through direct serial over LCD pins Rx and Tx and through doing this I set the config as stock as possible and disconnected the BL touch in the process.

Now that I know the board actually works im trying to get the BL touch back up and running but I keep getting the same error,
I’ve read all the other posts with people having the same issue and it being generally down to syntax of a capital B in bltouch but as far as I can tell (to the best of my knowledge) the syntax seems to be in order?

Ive attached a copy of the log and config as .txt files so hopefully someone can help me figure out whats wrong with my config.

Thanks in advanced.

According to your log:

[stepper_z]
endstop_pin = probe:z_virtual_endstop

But you do not have any probe or BLTouch defined

Ah, I was trying different combinations of sections being commented/uncommented to see if I could isolate the issue and it seems I uploaded the log and config in the midst of that process in a rush, my apologies.

But regardless, with the bltouch section fully enabled I was having the same issue. Funnily enough, as I was about to upload new log files to represent the issue in its previous state, by just uncommmenting the bltouch section it has now reestablished a connection displaying temps and reporting:
Klipper state: Ready

I guess that means the issue is corrected? but im not fully confident yet so i’ll keep going and keep you updated, thanks for the help
