BEACON_INITIAL_CALIBRATION Issue
Hello, I put together a Vcore4 400 Idex and am going through the commissioning guide. The first issue that I've run into that I can't seem to figure out is when running the initial beacon calibration - where after I run BEACON_INITIAL_CALIBRATION, the X and Y axis home for the tool heads, then T0 moves to the center of the build plate and then the Z axis slowly raises up. When the build plate gets close to the beacon sensor, the indicator light on the sensor turns red and the bed keeps moving, crashing into the nozzle so I have to E-stop.
My questions are:
What does success look like for BEACON_INITIAL_CALIBRATION? How do I know that it completed successfully?
Any thoughts on why the sequence continues to crash into the nozzle even after the probe seems to react to getting close to the bed?
