I have an Ender 3 Pro, recently added a BLTouch v3, flashed a bootloader, and I'm now attempting to configure TH3D U1.R2.15 firmware.
I have only modified configuration.h, haven't touched any other file, and configured it using the inline comments as a guide.
Everything seems to work ok, apart from it doesn't do a grid/mesh level before the print. G29 has been added just after G28 in Cura in the Start gcode box.
When I print something, this happens:
- Bed + hotend heats up.
- X/Y get homed.
- Nozzle moves to the center.
- BLTouch slowly comes down to probe the bed twice to set the level based on that one single center point.
- Primes the filament and begins the print...
I'm not sure what the correct sequence is but I would have thought it should probe 9 points in a grid as I have set #define EZABL_POINTS 3.
Have I missed something in the config?
configuration.h (have omitted all other printer sections to allow stackexchange to accept the rest of the file)
/**
* ************** How to use this firmware - READ THIS, yes actually read this. *********************************
*
* Uncomment means removing the 2 // in front of #define.
*
* FLASHING NOTES:
* ALL slicers (Simplify3D, Cura, Slic3r, etc) or anything else that connects to the COM port must be CLOSED for the firmware to be flash.
* If anything is connected to the COM port when flashing it will fail, typically "access denied" is listed in the error section of the Arduino IDE.
* You MUST use the Included Arduino IDE to flash the firmware if on Windows and if you are on a Mac or Linux follow the guide in our knowledgebase to setup your IDE to work with the firmware.
*
* EZABL SETUP NOTES:
* If you have EZABL uncomment the mount you are using with the printer.
* If you have a custom/unsupported mount uncomment #define CUSTOM_MOUNT and enter your offsets
* below in the CUSTOM MOUNT section. Refer to the EZABL guide to get your offsets.
*
* STEP 1:
* Select the correct board from the tools menu for the printer you are flashing.
* Read the printer title for the model you are flashing, it will show what board to select.
*
* STEP 2:
* Uncomment the printer you want to flash. The printers are sorted A-Z by brand name.
* If you are using the Creality Dual board with the Ender 3/Ender 5/CR-20 then read the specific section below in that printer section on how to do this.
*
* STEP 3:
* Select the COM port your printer is on from the Tools menu. If you do not see the COM port try
* downloading the latest drivers from the manufacturer or TH3D site on our knowledgebase.
*
* STEP 4:
* Verify you have the correct board selected, printer model uncommented, and if you are using EZOUT and/or EZABL
* the lines you need to use them are also uncommented.
*
* STEP 5:
* Once you have your settings verified click the arrow in the upper left to upload to the board.
*
* STEP 6:
* Reset your eeprom. You can send M502 then M500 to reset the EEPROM OR on the printer LCD go to
* Control > Reset EEPROM to clear out the EEPROM to defaults.
*
* BOOTLOADER FLASHING NOTES:
* For flashing your bootloader with an Uno make sure to select Arduino as ISP for the programmer
*
* There are other features in the TH3D Extras section so look there for V6 Hotend,
* Bootscreen settings, Titan Extruder and more. You only need to edit this file.
*
* ERROR NOTES:
* If you get errors flashing READ the message it gives you and double check that you selected
* the correct board from the Tools menu in Arduino. Turn off any AV systems and reboot the computer.
*
* COMMUNITY REQUESTED FEATURES NOTE:
* All features in the community requested features section are provided as-is with no support from TH3D.
