Z probe repeatability - no data

Z probe repeatability - no data
January 06, 2017 04:03PM
I enabled z probe repeatability in the firmware, but when I run a M48 command, I get all 0s:

SENDING:M48 n10 V4
M48 Z-Probe Repeatability Test

When the test ends, the lcd screen shows an M105 command, and pronterface keeps echoing: echo:busy: paused for user

Am I missing something in the firmware? My probe works fine otherwise, z endstop logic is ok.

If those numbers were correct, you would have a perfect printer. But obviously, you have something else going on. Does it home with a G28 correctly?

Do you have an LCD Display panel? What does it say on the LCD after you home. (If no LCD, what does M114 say after a home?)

Yes, it homes correctly. I do have a LCD panel. After I home with a G28 or with the home xyz button on pronterface, it homes and then goes to X100, Y140, Z0. That's what the LCD says, and an M114 says the same thing. A home operation performed with the LCD does and says the same thing. Thanks for any help with this.

Do you get same if you send

And a couple more questions:

Are you using a Cartesian or a Delta printer? The M48 was not supported on Delta's until 6 or 9 months ago.

Are you using marlin's RC-7 or RC-8 ? If not... You should seriously consider making the migration.

I'm using RC8 on a cartesian prusa mendel 3. I have mesh leveling enabled.

I haven't tried that exact command Obewan, but I have tried probing different points with M48 and V4. Not home right now, but will try that when I am.

Update:

Interestingly, when I turned off MESH_BED_LEVELING and enabled AUTO_BED_LEVELING_BILINEAR, I was able to get proper data from the Z probe repeatability test.

That is very strange! M48 definitely should work with Mesh Bed Leveling. And in fact, the Marlin UBL branch is really Mesh Bed Leveling at the foundation. It works fine with M48.

This is with RC8. I will try sometime with UBL.
