Describe the feature you want

From antclabs web site:

  • If a 5V or GND wiring defect occurs during printing, the red LED flashes at 80% duty. Please check the 5V or GND line

  • Alarm : The AI will flash the LED indicator if a problem is detected during a self-test or operation. The 3D printer can read the BLTouch alarm signal, and according to the alarm status, it can stop and pause the 3D printer with preset G-code, as well as operate the BLTouch release, stow, etc. Please do not ignore the alarm signal and make good use of it. It can keep your 3D printer and BLTouch safe.

  • If the red LED flashes to 80% duty during 3D printing, check the wiring of the red cable (poor wiring). It may be necessary to repair or reinstall the cable.

  • if the red LED in BLTOUCH flashes at 80% duty right after the 3D printer is switched on, please release it with S60 or S160. It's a message to check Wiring because your 3D printer board is already sending a control signal to BLTouch before BLTouch power is turned on. Don't worry, your 3D printer and BLTouch work perfectly even if the Red LED flashes at 80% duty. It is common for BLTouch control signals to occur at machine startup or a little later.
