Just now switching to an SKR 1.3 at 24v to give it a whirl. Needed a quick reference for signal and voltage on the bltouch and you got to that point very quickly in the video so thanks. I suppose I could have went to the bltouch website but this is where google brought me. I did watch the entire video so you get credit for "time watched". My connection for the bltouch requires much longer wires as I'm sure most people's will, what I did was tie the two ground wires together at the connector since the ground pins are common on the SKR (same as RAMPS). This eliminates 1 wire running from the probe to the board. Just tried a quick Z home routine and a bed level, all is working well.

I've watched a ton of these videos trying to integrate a new board, and Thank you. Yours is by far the best! Your pace with the description and the video is perfect.

What a great tutorial! Thanks a lot. It answered all the questions I had about BLtouch and my new board. Got me up and running very quickly.

Great series. Im learning alot. Bought the skr to update a delta printer I have to 32bit marlin 2.0. These video's are very helpful towards that goal.

You can easily switch the pins around in the 3-pin connector, no need for extension cables

Thanks for the video. My skr board is on the way. I ordered mine with the tmc2130 spi drivers so will be keeping an eye out for stepper driver setup videos in the future. Keep up the good work!

Awesome tutorial mate, I don't have the same board (I have SKR Pro) but you've helped me understand how to wire BLTouch now to every board! Big Thanks!

Your hand is blocking what is going on when you actuate it. So when you hit the Z home button the pin pops out? And then you just push it in when that happens (simulating it touching the heat bed)? BTW, for the pins being of order on the board I just removed the wires from the dupont connector with some pointy tweezers and then put them in the dupont connector in the right order.

Great video. For adding BLTouch to a Pro v1.1 is the configuration the same? Because we are using it on the servo pins, my pro isn't using it as a Z endstop and this is resulting in nozzle crashing. Note, I am able to test it and deploy it through the lcd. I read on Github to separate the pins and put the black wire on the Z min ground.

3:14 When changing the pins on the connector, you can use a needle or thumb tac and remove the pins from the connector to reorder them. No need for jumper cables. Fantastic video though, really appreciate it.

I have Skr 1.3 with tft 35v3.0 tft and 5160v1.2, this is replace mainboard for anet a8 plus. My question is for firmware marlin 2.0 in vs code platform io,. I'll build firmware to ensure it successful firs time, once I make changes to firmware it shows fail that there issue with env 1768 or other time the build uploaded button bar at bottom left of platform io disappeared. I've even used bigtree version of marlin 2.0. they build successfully first time, if I make a chance to any part in marlin 2.0 I get one or outher issues in firmware.

Hi. Is the Marlin 2.0 configuration different between BLTouch and the LJ12A3-4-Z / BX sensor? Anything else needs to be changed?

Do you need to do anything about the voltage? is the board 3.3v or 5v :? I know the LPC1768 is 3.3v logic and I was worried this will cause issues. does the board have integrated Logic-shifts?

Have a question for you, I have a problem with the bltouch when I run M119 Z_min is open but Z_probe is always triggered. When homing the print o trying to level it, the pin never comes out and it crashed on the bed. I have trying many diferent things with 0 luck.

great video but you did not give any info concerning the points to change with Marlin for correct setup. Any support?

Does anyone know if the Bltouch v3 plays nice on the SKR 1.3.? I have my beloved SKR 1.3 installed on my Anet A8 with e3d clone (bowden). I replaced my inductive sensor with a capacitive one after upgrading to glass on top of the bed, and quickly realised that the capacitive sensor is all over the place. Z height constantly changing, thus resulting in me having to change the z offset on a regular basis. So I gave up and ordered a Bltouch. Can't wait for it to get here. Thanks 😊

shouldn't you also set the 'BLTOUCH_SET_5V_MODE' in configuration_adv.h ? After all the SKR1.3 board is 5v, no? Also, even though I follow your exact setup and configuration, my board gets stuck on the Z home action in prontoface... lots of 'echo:busy: processing' until I get 'Error:Printer halted. kill() called!'

Great tutorial, thanks a lot. Is it possible to replace the BLtouch with a capacitive sensor on the SKR 1.3? All I found working only from 6V DC

Thanks for doing this series of videos. Really helping me set my system up.

When you held the pin in, the bltouch went into error (flashing orange). That's why it showed up as triggered. Normally, the trigger pulse is only 5-10 milliseconds, so it will never show up as triggered using an M119. This means you really did not show the probe is working. I'm currently having problems getting my bltouch smart v2.0 to trigger the skr 1.3 for some reason. If I held the pin in, and the bltouch went into error, m119 would show triggered, but if I try to home Z, it does not sense me manually triggering the probe, and the z motor keeps turning. M43 S goes through a self test normally until it asks to trigger the probe w/in 30 seconds, which I do, but it never recognizes it. and says Z_MIN_PIN 57, instead of P1_25. Are these pins equivalent? Also, FWIW, whenever I issue an M119, it deploys the probe, which is real strange. Any ideas, anybody?

Hi Edward. Thanks for another great video. Is it required to press the reset button after each FW update/config change?

I have it working on homing but how do you set up the leveling? The x homes with the blotch off the build plate.

Hi Ed, the video has helped me understand the wiring of my 3DTouchv3 (a clone of BLTouch) but I’m unsure of a few things transferring from a PNP probe. If you can answer them I would appreciate it but understand if not. Firstly does the Z Ground need to be in place or can I link it into the common Ground like I was using with my PNP probe? Secondly to get the probe to work I had to remove the R11 chip on the board. Is that likely to cause an issue? Thanks.

Great video. I also am planning an SKR upgrade so this is very timely. Just one constructive criticism (I hope); Please stop saying 'In a moment we will ...' You usually do it when you cut scenes. I advice is to just cut to the new scene and continue...

I’m having issues getting my bl touch to work with my SKR 1.4turbo. Can you make a video for that? I have read that a best to use the z min instead of dedicated bl touch probe pins. When I used the dedicated pins my z axis would not go down at all. Only up. When I used the z min my axis moves however my probe will not trigger. It just crashes the bed. When I go through the config steps it resets deploys and stows. It just won’t trigger.

Sorry it has taken me 2 years to catch up with crowd. Just got my 3dtouch and installed it using Marlin 2.1. ABL works fine, but printing is a problem. The print starts, then stops for a second, then continues for a few seconds and repeats. I notice in terminal that the board sends an M119 report back to the PC when the print stops. It shows z as triggered. Any ideas?

Helpful tutorial, but pleeease just talk a little faster. This is so hard to watch.

#define Z_SAFE_HOMING should be mandatory for everyone otherwise you're going to break something.

What bug does marlin have with the bltouch? What are the symptoms? I am not sure if the bug is my problem.

Thanks for the Video

I just bought an anet a8+ 3d printer, it has a filament runout sensor installed and an auto bed leveling without probe (manual moving z-direction at 16 points on the bed). I want to upgrade my auto bed leveling with bl touch and probe (auto z-direction move to 16 points in bed) in my upgrade plan, how to edit the firmware? do I have to back up the firmware setting 1st then add a new setting? I'm a total newbie

Hi Edward, will this be the same for skr pro V1.1?

hello, would you have a tutorial for bltouch, skr e3 v1.0 with uart 2208?

I don't like connecting my probes to the Z_MIN. wish there was a connector for this. it'd be even nicer if they had a connector with a built in votlage divider for inductive probes

good video, only i would have either re crimped the connector , or like Michal for teaching tech, re insterted the plugs

Both the SKR and the BLTOUCH are on their way and I thank you for this video. My Marlin code (same as yours/same as all 2.0) does not have the same code as yours nor on the same line numbers so I am now leary of this code since it is 2.0 bugfix it should be what we all have, right?

I guess we can just swap colors as we like in videos huh?? "A brown, an ORANGE and a yellow" --> "The brown is going to be ground, the RED!!!!!!!!!!!! is going to be voltage and the yellow is going to be signal"..!!!

good

Your videos are very usefull but please try to be more dynamic, 12 minutes to wire a BL Touch ... Please don't repeat 20 times that you're on a SKR version 1.3 ! Anyway, good videos, just need little improvement ;)

Can you make a video for the skr 1.4 with bltouch?

there is a brown, orange and a yellow:: The brown is going to be brown, the red is going to be voltage, and the yellow is signal, haha couldn't help but notice :P

LOL ? Where to put offset ?

What BLTouch version do you have. Is it a 3.0 or 3.1?

not working for me
