Geeetech are no di...

Re: Bltouch in diagosis mode - BRAND NEW

hi, no - i had it refunded.

After this I metered the coil - it was open and had no resistance, so was not energising.

I have a genuine BLTouch now and it is working flawlessly.

Re: Bltouch in diagosis mode - BRAND NEW

wiring is fine, and as per the Bltouch guide.
Firmware is set exactly as per the Marlin setup guide, and is confirmed by use of a std servo.
Diagnosis is flashing the second it is powered up - i'm told the pin will lift / drop at power on - this does not happen.

Bltouch in diagosis mode - BRAND NEW

Not much to say really, just un packaged this, connected it to my Rumba ( properly) and all i'm getting is the flashing diag light.
pin moves freely.
std servo on same pins from rumba actuates fine.
