3DP-17 Proximity Sensor Not Working Properly
Posted: March 30th, 2017, 3:51 am
Hello all!
I have spent the past few weeks trying to get my new 3DP-17 working and it has been a bit of a nightmare! After finally seeming to get it all dialed in, I encountered an error where the SN04-N sensor's red LED was always on, indicating it is always detecting metal. However, this isn't the case because it had just successfully finished a print and was about 40 mm above the bed. Ever since then, I haven't been able to figure out how to get it working properly again.
I tried reflashing Marlin and that didn't work. I turned it off, unplugged it, and came back a few hours later and its still giving the false positive reading. Has anyone else experienced this? Do I just need to get a new sensor?
Any help would be appreciated.
