Eddy Coil Settings for EBB36 (solution in post)

[QuinFromCanada]

The documentations do not cover the Eddy Coil setup well, can the example please be added to sample config, or the manual, thank you.

SOLUTION:

1. Update your EBB36 firmware, eddy current probe native support was added to mainline klipper recently, and this will not work if you have an old version on your toolhead board. I got it to work no problems with mainline klipper version 0.12.0-297

2. Use whatever BTT sample file you like, but make the following changes for Eddy Coil:

Leave [MCU] section commented out since Eddy Coil is a sensor and not an MCU. #[mcu eddy]

I used an EBB36 v1.2 so I used the following settings:

[probe_eddy_current btt_eddy]
sensor_type: ldc1612
#i2c_address:
i2c_mcu: ebb36  # whatever you called you EBB36 mcu in my case it was [mcu ebb36]
i2c_bus: i2c3_PB3_PB4 # I2C bus for ebb36 v1.2
#i2c_speed: 400000  # didn't need this, so left it commented out.
#i2c_bus: i2c0f # didn't need this, so left it commented out.
# For a standard Voron stealthburner X carriage mount there should be no need to change the defaults below.
x_offset: 0
y_offset: 21.42
z_offset: 1.0

Hope this helps, anyone having issues. Cheers!

Every single point here is already in the manual and config files though:
