OK… weird issue, I try to level my Z and it goes down a little then stops, the probe is not triggered. See video
Sounds like you sensor is either broken, incorrectly wired, or wrong firmware settings. Check your connections first to be sure your sensor is correctly wired and that it gets power. These sensors come in two flavors: normally open and normally closed. You have to set the appropriate one in firmware for that particular axis in the endstop settings. Microwitches are the same - they can be wired to be open, then close when triggered, or the reverse.
@Brook_Drumm The board reports triggered even with the probe unplugged, I can not get it to not be triggered. Seems to be a MOSFET on the board according to wait I saw.
@Brook_Drumm The sensor was kept exactly as it was when it arrived.
@Brook_Drumm I guess I could order a probe on Amazon that’s cheap and wire it up and see what happens.
@Alexander_Pritchard Microswitch? Those are normally closed. Short the switch terminal to see if that un-triggers it.
If you’re using an induction sensor, then see if there’s anything ferric around it… although that’s less likely.
@Francis_Lee no it’s an inductive probe.
@Alexander_Pritchard ah ok. Hmmm. Is there a red light in the back of the probe to see if it’s triggered?
Oh and I saw the post about unplugging. Sounds like something in your firmware setup is maybe wrong.
@Francis_Lee the light does come on, I will try reflashing the board.
Yeah… this is weird. With switches the circuit is normally closed, but with induction sensor it should be basically “normally open” since the pin will go high when triggered. Make sure that’s correct.
