Hello Chris! Fantastic video btw. I do have a question regarding the z-offsets/babysteps. I still need to set the initial Z offsets before or after the test? I tried the same thing on my Biqu B1 and it is not that consistent.
You shouldn't need to set the offset before the babystepping, just hard set it after you have it dialed in. If it's not consistent it might be something else.
Hello Chris awesome video! The probe that I ordered was too short so I extended it. I am having an issue with the probe triggering. I wire the sensor up and plug it into the z endstop port. In marlin I set z min to z endstop port. the sensor lights up when near metal when I check with m119 command it always says z is triggered and if i invert it its always open. I have played around with switching to other pins but have no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
@@ChrisRiley it's an skr 1.4 turbo. I have bent the diag pin out of the way but still the same issue. Could it be an issue with extending the cable? Edit: got it to work! It was and issue with a connecter not being pushed in correctly. Thanks again for the video!
I would be very interested to know if it’s possible to use this on RRF with a Duet board. I’m rocking a heated enclosure and my inductive probe definitely reads differently with different ambient & bed temps. Great video Chris
I have a v1 Pinda probe that I would like to install on my Ender 5 pro with the Creality v4.2.2 main board. As the z endstop only uses 2 pins is there an alternative connection I can use with the Pinda either all together by plugging in with the plug already attache d or bytaking the individual wire and using pins here,there and everywhere elseware on the board?
I don't know if there any available 5v pins on that board, but if there are you can grab power from there. If not you could use a converter to voltage regulator and reduce it down to 5v so you can get power from anywhere. You have to be careful not to feed more than 5v into the signal pin.
Well Chris your reply has prompted me to buy a SKR 1.4 Turbo board which arrived today c/w a BTT touch screen as well so tomorrow will be upgrade time.
Hi Chris! Want to build my own printer (a Hevo) and think over to use a Prusa Pinda (my first Autolevel sensor) Since i would prefer to use a Duet 2 Wifi board, i dont know how i could connect the Pinda 2 to the Duet 2 Wifi Board! Did you know this? Sorry hope my english is correct, because i am not very good at it =) Kind Regards from Austria
I'm not exactly sure how the config would work, but with RRF 3 you can assign the pins you need. There will be multiple analog pins to use. If you can get a Super Pinda that would probably be even easier.
Interesting test. The idea definitely has potential. Unfortunately useless without a probe repeatability test on a single spot at each temperature. And then you would need a repeatability test of the mesh at each temperature. As long as you don't know these deviations, you can't make any conclusion until you have a better contrast in your results. I did something similar on a bltouch clone and found out that I have a huge deviation on the mesh, but a very small deviation on a single spot. Also consider the bending of the bed due to the thermal expansion. ;)
Yeah, I tried to convey that slightly in the last info view. Probably not the best way to implement something like this, but it does take a swag at trying to compensate.
Hi Chris, I got myself the pinda v2 clone from trianglelabs and connected it to my skr e3 v2 board. Everything works however in octoprint terminal I see unrealistic probe temps. P: 230.... if I move the probe to the heated bed it rises to like 250. Bed and extrudertemps show up correct in °C. Do you know if the marlin probe temp compensation would work with any probe temps? Like, is only the change in temp relevant?
I think I can get it working. config_adv.h has these lines: // Probe temperature calibration generates a table of values starting at PTC_SAMPLE_START // (e.g. 30), in steps of PTC_SAMPLE_RES (e.g. 5) with PTC_SAMPLE_COUNT (e.g. 10) samples. //#define PTC_SAMPLE_START 30.0f //#define PTC_SAMPLE_RES 5.0f //#define PTC_SAMPLE_COUNT 10U I'm not sure, I think I need to change ptc sample start value.. But to what value? The shown temp when the probe is in homing position right over the 60° heated bed or is do I need the "normal" probe temp when bed is off and probe is in the cooldown position? Edit: Nope, not working. Always after I enter G76 printer homes and I get the message: Waiting for cooling... That's it.. Nothing else happens, no bed heating nothing.
I think it does have to be with in a range for Marlin to use it. You would need to build a temp table for that Probe. Trianglelabs might have one they can share with you.
@@ChrisRiley I think I now know why I get weird readings. The skr e3 mini v2.0 just has 2 thermistor ports th0 and thb. These have a different electrical circuit (resistor and capacitor added) If I want the thermistor from the probe to work via another pin like pa1 I'd need to add a resistor and capacitor... and get 3.3v, for example from the swd port. Seems this was not necessary on your skr 1.4 board..
When I run G76 the printer inits the process without issues, but them the probe never get down so it get heated :/ Waiting for cooling. Target Bed:60 Probe:30 Waiting for bed and probe temperature. Waiting for probe heating.
@@ChrisRiley Hi Chris. Thanks for the reply. In the mean time I've just found it was a bug on my Marlin version. Found the PR somewhere, but can't really find it now ahah It was a problem testing the probe heating, not cooling. The probe simply didn't lower near to the bed. Instead, it was just staying in the same Z defined for parking. The fix got release on 2.0.6 (I think), but that one messed with my RR FullGraphics. At the end, bugfix from 21/12 solved both issues! Probing like a champ now. But the process takes soooo long! Again, thank you for the reply and specially for you video contribution. Pretty useful, congrats! Take care and keep going!
Is there an advantage to using a pinda as opposed to any other inductive probe while not considering the built in thermistor? This feature/option is pretty cool though.
Thanks for the video, it really is informative and will help a lot of people :). Recently I have been trying to setup pinda v2 on skr 1.4 turbo and couldn't get it to work on Z-MIN like you did and with similar configurations. However when I moved it to Z-MAX everything worked. Did you cut Z DIAG pin on the tmc2209 to get it to work on Z-MIN?
Thanks for watching! No, Z min shouldn't be impacted by the pin, but Z max will be, but only if you have sensorless homing on Z, which not many people do. Not sure why Z min wouldn't work.
Can I kapton tape a standard 100k ohm 3950 thermistor to a normal inductive probe or cram it under the plastic cover and get the same results as a Pinda 2 probe?
Hi Chris, you probably already know but BIQU Bigtreetech have just released 3 new displays for the SKR range, 4.3", 5" and 7", I have already ordered the 7", if you are interested, I can post some pictures on twitter once I have it up and running

I'm not a native English speaker so I might misunderstand your video, in that case please accept my apology, but you can see probe offset of 16 points in the end of the video, the 4 points in the first row change 0.2mm from room temp to 100c, but 4 points in the fourth rows change only 0.01mm, maybe that mean your bed is not equally heated, and the algorithm use only 1 bed temp for the math althout temperature varies across the bed, some point is hot, some is cold.
Good observations. That very well could be. After I did this video I thought maybe I should have done some probe comparisons first. Also, this is an AC powered bed, so I am not sure how spotty the heating might be. I will check that.
