Solenoid for Z probing

[Fri]

The code is there, and I am not sure if it is not responding. When I home all, and then do a M114 my z should report a number other than zero, but it is always on zero. M119 and other M codes work fine.

The M114 unconditionally prints "X:" and the number. M119 has this code:

    case 119: // M119
    SERIAL_PROTOCOLLN(MSG_M119_REPORT);
      #if defined(X_MIN_PIN) && X_MIN_PIN > -1
        SERIAL_PROTOCOLPGM(MSG_X_MIN);
        SERIAL_PROTOCOLLN(((READ(X_MIN_PIN)^X_MIN_ENDSTOP_INVERTING)?MSG_ENDSTOP_HIT:MSG_ENDSTOP_OPEN))

If the M119 command prints that stuff correctly, it uses the same SERIAL_PROTOCOLPGM() macro.

hey im trying the same thing on my printer, i managed to get it working with the marlin firmware provided in the post but i want to use the newest version of marlin do you guys know which section i need to change in the marlin_main.cpp? because the part that is supposed to be modified is not there

this is what is supposed to be modified:

static void engage_z_probe(int d = 100) { //lower z probe
digitalWrite(Z_PROBE_PIN, HIGH);
delay(d);
}

Check out the Debug System and the Debug Flags. And specifically, the M111 command. You may have what you need by turning on that option in the newer releases.
