Hi...i am a new user here. For my new big Delta, I'd like to use BLTouch sensor with Duet. Is it possible ?Mini IR sensor from DC42 is very nice but not easy to use with PEI surface.And PEI is so good that it's my favorite print bed surface I use now.
What is the solution to use Mini IR sensor with PEI ? It's very difficult to obtain a consistence Z heigh even without effector tilt.

Hello! Yes it's possible to use BLTouch with Due, it's all a matter of firmware configuration. You will need a 5V regulator from 12V if you want the bltouch to work.
ANother solution would be to use a Re-Arm board that is a 32Bit arm board compatible with standard RAMPS 1.4 and with built in +5V regulator. SO here it's quite straight forward.
I guess you can't get any consistent reading from optical sensors, and any color changes, or even dust can impact your readings.
The best way is indeed something like BLTouch for these kinds of print surface.

Have a great printing experience!
