Using Capacitive Sensor with Octopus v1.1

General Discussion
1

Basic Information:

Printer Model: Custom Printer
MCU / Printerboard: Octopus v1.1
Sensor: LJC18A3-B-Z/BY | PNP | 6-36V Capacitive Sensor

Hello, I am trying to use a capacitive sensor with Klipper, but the sensor is not triggered in all cases. When connecting the sensor, I used the Probe port of Octopus and selected the port voltage as 24V. The LED on the sensor shows me that the sensor is working. Where should I look for the problem?

My Probe Config:
[probe]
pin: !PB7
x_offset: 0
y_offset: 5.0
z_offset: 0.0
speed: 5.0
samples: 3
sample_retract_dist: 2.0
lift_speed: 5.0
samples_result: average
samples_tolerance: 0.100
samples_tolerance_retries: 1

[safe_z_home]
home_xy_position: 100, 100
speed: 50.0
z_hop: 5.0
z_hop_speed: 15.0
move_to_previous: False

A wiring diagram and a photograph of how you’ve put things together would be helpful for us to try and suggest where to look.
