Trouble Adding BD Sensor to Ender 3 Pro with SKR PRO V1.2

[Haxim]

Struggling to figure out what I'm doing wrong, I feel like I'm so close

Compiling Marlin 2.1.x-bugfix (current as of a few days ago) Everything is connected correctly (LED on BD Sensor behaves properly when close to metal) M102 doesn't return as expected (no mention of V1.0 pandapi3d.com):

>>> M102 S-1
SENDING:M102 S-1
ok P15 B3

M119 behaves oddly. z_min changes from open to TRIGGERED, but z_probe is always set to triggered (I would expect probe to change and z_min to always stay the same)

SENDING:M119
Reporting endstop status
x_min: open
y_min: open
z_min: open
z_probe: TRIGGERED

M102 S-6 behaves correctly and calibrates, M102 S-5 reads back the calibration curve Board is a BTT SRK PRO V1.2 (pinouts https://github.com/bigtreetech/BIGTREETECH-SKR-PRO-V1.1/blob/master/SKR-PRO-V1.2/manual/SKR-PRO-V1.2PIN.PDF)

I've set the following pins (used to have a BL Touch installed, so the BD Sensor is just using the same connection on the hotend)

#ifndef I2C_BD_SDA_PIN
  #define I2C_BD_SDA_PIN                 PA2
#endif

#ifndef I2C_BD_SCL_PIN
  #define I2C_BD_SCL_PIN                 PA1
#endif

#ifndef I2C_BD_DELAY   
  #define I2C_BD_DELAY                   20
#endif

Not sure why M102 S-1 isn't responding and z-probe isn't updating correctly. Any ideas?

for testing, you can then try to connect to the EXP1, for example LCD_D7_PG7 and LCD_D7_PG6 for the SDA and SCL

same behaviour (z_min changes state instead of z_probe) on PG7 and PG6 (EXP1 ports suggested for this board). I'm wondering if it's a weird Marlin issue, going to try a different version of the bugfix branch and see if that resolves it.

[markniu]

did you enable theUSE_PROBE_FOR_Z_HOMING ?

//#define Z_MIN_PROBE_USES_Z_MIN_ENDSTOP_PIN
// Force the use of the probe for Z-axis homing
#define USE_PROBE_FOR_Z_HOMING

and you can this firmware that I pulled to official marlin recently. https://github.com/markniu/MarlinPULL/tree/bugfix-2.1.x https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin/pull/27243

[Haxim]

Yep, I have using the endstop commented out and use probe for homing I'll give your fork a shot! Does it also support nozzle collision sensing for Marlin?

[markniu]

the code on my github supports the collision sensing.

[Haxim]

Great! I just tried a quick build with your fork and m102 S-1 correctly reports

ok P15 B3
BD Sensor version:V1.2c pandapi3d
,sw_mode:1

Which seems better than I had before. Now I just need to redo my configurations for this version. Thanks!

[Haxim]

Works great after setting up my config. Appreciate all the help @markniu
