New Beacon setup. No clues...

I have an enclosed 500 with the toolhead 1.0 beta2 setup. I am using the toolhead from https://www.printables.com/model/720356-ratrig-toolhead-beta2-beacon-probe-revh-mount to mount the beacon Rev H. The issue that I have is that I don't see a standard setup for it. Can someone copy/paste that chunk here so I can see what they are using? I ended up with this but am wanting to wait to run it as I don't want the hotend dug into the printbed. #################################################################################################### Beacon Setup #################################################################################################### [include RatOS/z-probe/beacon.cfg] [beacon] y_offset: 20.676 speed: 5 #[resonance_tester] #accel_chip: beacon #probe_points: 250, 250, 20 [stepper_z] endstop_pin: probe:z_virtual_endstop # use beacon as virtual endstop homing_retract_dist: 0 # beacon needs this to be set to 0 homing_speed: 5 [bed_mesh] horizontal_move_z: 5 mesh_min: 35,30 mesh_max:465,470 probe_count: 25,25 fade_start: 1.0 fade_end: 10.0 mesh_pps: 2,2 algorithm: bicubic bicubic_tension: .2 speed: 300 [z_tilt] z_positions: 0,0 250,500 500,0

Mine looks identical. Only thing I'd suggest is being ready to hit emergency stop first try.

I got it sorted out. Luckly I had a junk plate to "learn" with. Found out I needed to manually drive the bed up to light the probe sensor so the z limit could be set. The do the calibrate. I drove the plate into the hotend not knowing that I was setting the sensor to see the plate. All else was easy. I adjusted the sensor places so that the z-tilt would work better. #################################################################################################### Beacon Setup #################################################################################################### [include RatOS/z-probe/beacon.cfg] [beacon] y_offset: 20.676 speed: 5 #[resonance_tester] #accel_chip: beacon #probe_points: 250, 250, 20 [stepper_z] endstop_pin: probe:z_virtual_endstop # use beacon as virtual endstop homing_retract_dist: 0 # beacon needs this to be set to 0 homing_speed: 5 [bed_mesh] horizontal_move_z: 5 mesh_min: 35,30 mesh_max:465,470 probe_count: 25,25 fade_start: 1.0 fade_end: 10.0 mesh_pps: 2,2 algorithm: bicubic bicubic_tension: .2 speed: 300 [z_tilt] z_positions: 0,0 250,500 500,0 points: 50,50 250,450 450,50
