BLtouch deploying but not triggering
Hi, i tried to verify the BLtouch as required in the initial config.
The wiring should be correct for the Octopus 1.1:
Brown-Red-Yellow-Black-White
I buzzed them trough and they all have connection, the connector is the wrong type (JST-XH instead of Futaba servo connectors), because i thought it would go on the connector directly to its side. But the BTT product wiki page shows that the free standing pins are the correct position.
The probe deploys properly but during the sensor pin test in the klipper documentation it doesnt show "probe: open" and "probe: triggered".
If the pin is down and should show "probe: open" it shows "probe: triggered" instead. Using the
[bltouch]
pin_up_touch_mode_reports_triggered: false
in the user overrides section of the printer.cfg doesnt invert the output!
Someone on Reddit said to switch the black and white wire but then it just outputs "probe: open" what ever the position.
So i have no idea what i could try, if needed i can upload a small matrix i did for testing!
I tried to be as scientific as possible but have no idea what else to do...
Thanks in advance to anybody who wants to give it a shot!
Update:
I change to Futaba 5 Pin servo connectors. Nothing changed
I tried homing normally and it gave that error:
"BLTouch failed to verify sensor state"
So yeah now i even have less of an idea...

Update 2:
If i use the "pin_up_touch_mode_reports_triggered: false", then the Error message while homing is:
"BLTouch failed to raise probe"
If i use both "pin_up_touch_mode_reports_triggered: false" and "pin_up_reports_not_triggered: False", the error message is:
"BLTouch failed to deploy"
With just "pin_up_reports_not_triggered: False" and "#pin_up_touch_mode_reports_triggered: false", so quoted out, the error is:
"BLTouch failed to verify sensor state"
With both disabled, so no overwrites, I got:
"BLTouch failed to verify sensor state"
Update 3:
Tried all the above with the black & white wire switched (BR-RE-YE-WI-BL) in the same order with those results:
1. The Pin deploys but doesnt use the input so i had to use e-stop
2. The Pin deploys but doesnt use the input so i had to use e-stop
3. "BLTouch failed to verify sensor state"
4. "BLTouch failed to verify sensor state"

what main board do you have? Have you followed the wiring diagram for you board from https://os.ratrig.com/docs/boards/list ?
for example, if you have the octopus 1.1 you need to wire it according to https://os.ratrig.com/docs/boards/btt/octopus-11#wiring
Yeah i had it wired like that but decided against the Bltouch after seeing in some videos how long it takes to level the bed.
So now i switched to a super pinda instead.
Thanks though!
