I am using Smoothieboard on a homebrew Prusa i3. Today I just added an inductive sensor and got it all wired up for use with my 24 volt system and confirmed that it is working with the M119 command.
When I click Z home it doesn’t do anything except reset the displayed home position to 0.00 in Repetier Host.
If I use M30 it probes but doesn’t do anything unless the probe is not active.
I have used the G32 command but it only seems to probe the first point (z motion), the second and third points it just travels to but doesnt stop to probe.
When I try to print something I can see that the leveling strategy is working because the z axis motors are moving with every X,Y action. But its way off in certain places.
Finally, it is printing at least 1mm too high.
With my Printrbot when I press Z home it uses the probe to find the bed then sets my z location to 0.00. I can configure the offset with M212 then use Slicer to fine tune it between prints. Is there any way Smoothie can work in a similar fashion? Or can anyone here provide a step by step guide to actually printing with the Z probe?
Im going back to a standard end stop until I can get this figured out because its unusable in this state.
Thanks for any assistance.
