Hey Steve,I upgraded to SKR 1.4 turbo now and all the guys are still using your guidelines to add Bl-Touch functionality for the X-1 Pretty cool. Unfurtunately I got some problems with it now There are so many guys out that use 32 bit boards now with bl-touch and mine is doing problems Could it just be that my sensors is just broken?Take a look at my video if you got spare time pls. Take care of when the tip hit's the bed and when it just stops in the air and the LED won't light up red
So I've spent all day trying to set up my BL touch on my V4, and it is just is refusing to work. I've rewired it more times than I can count, both through the Led mount and just bypassing that to write directly to the board. No matter what I do, I get the issue where when I try to home, it homes x and y, then moves up a little, extends the probe pin and retracts it 3 times before giving me the error telling me to fix my issues and use M999 to reset. The Z acid never drops at all during this. Also if I go into my Serial monitor and send M119, it always reports Z as triggered, and when I extend with a M280 P0 S10, sending M119 immediately retracts the pin and reports a triggered Z. I tried using the Teaching Tech's firmware, and that works if I plug my white and black wires into Z MIN, but I would prefer to be on Marlin 2.0.x instead of 1.1.19. I've attached a pictures of my wiring and a video of the triggered behavior as well. Hopefully someone can help me, cause this has been incredibly frustrating! Thanks in advance!
Hi there,having a pretty warped bed on my X1, I decided to go for autobed levelling. Performing the guide went relatively smoothly and my printer calibrates itself before every print. I am currently facing two problems though:1) High vibration especially during the first layer, I retightened the part cooling fan since this is a part I removed, but it only helped a bit.2) With higher speeds (positioning with ~150mm/s, printing with 50 mm/s) the axis don't move smoothly anymore. Could it be that the original board can't handle the calculations anymore, causing the movement to slow down? I own a V4 Sidewinder, 3.1 BLTouch and original Board.Cheers,Martin

How are you finding that board otherwise? worth the upgrade?
So looking at your photos and description you are doing everything write. My firmware only uses the Z Max pin to make it easy to wire up but it's easy to change to Z Min if you want to do that? If you look in the following folder.. Experts only (Firmware source)\Marlin-2.0.x\Marlin\src\pins\rampsOpen pins_RAMPS.h file and look for... #ifndef Z_MIN_PIN #define Z_MIN_PIN 19 #endif #ifndef Z_MAX_PIN #define Z_MAX_PIN 18 #endifand change the pin number around.. #ifndef Z_MIN_PIN #define Z_MIN_PIN 18 #endif #ifndef Z_MAX_PIN #define Z_MAX_PIN 19 #endifThen you can test to see if you have a problem with the Z Max pin since you have it working on the Z min. If the axis is always moving up then no matter what the Z is always triggered. So, you will need to look at your white wire and make sure it's a good connection. Let me know how you get on... happy to try and work through this with you.

But when I rewired back through the LED port and homed it, it ran right into the plate and didn't trigger. I tried M280 P0 S60, and now it is just reporting as always open. Ideas?
No that's correct. It only shows open when the probe is down. When the probe is retracted it shows triggers. :-) It drops the probe always for homing, once homed it doesn't need it again and remains up.
