IR Probe
Smoothieware has a lot of options relating to Z probing and bed level compensation. The best place to get detailed information on Smoothieware's settings is the Z-Probe page here.
Pin Configuration
The IR probe can be connected to any of the Smoothieboard's three-pin endstop connectors (though be sure to take note of polarity). We will be connecting the probe to the Z-Max connector in this guide, which is pin P1.29.
We need to configure the pin as a non-inverting input with a pullup. This is done like so:
zprobe.enable true # set to true to enable a zprobe zprobe.probe_pin 1.29^ # pin probe is attached to zprobe.slow_feedrate 5 # mm/sec probe feed rate #zprobe.debounce_ms 1 # set if noisy zprobe.fast_feedrate 100 # move feedrate zprobe.probe_height 5 # how much above bed to start probe NB only needed for G32 on delta zprobe.return_feedrate 0 # feedrate after a probe, default 0 is double of slow_feedrate (mm/s)
