Probe has a red led on constantly. The led turns off when placing metal near the probe.

Tried a variety of other settings however the probe is either in a constant triggered or open state in Ratos > Machine section. It never changes states even when the probe led changes state when putting metal next to it.

Tripple checked the wiring everything looks good. Jumper is on the 5v pins. Its on the right socket per the wiring guide and labels on the board.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

^ind_probe_pin

Hi Anon13, I have the same issue, but don't understand your solution. Could you probably explain? When I checked the pin configuration in your and my boards configuration, there is no such pin "înd_probe_pin" specified.
Any help would be appreciated.

shy fjord Hi Anon13, I have the same issue, but don't understand your solution. Could you ...

The wiring diagram was wrong, hopefully you followed the updated one

#

This should work with no changes.

#

the "ind_probe_pin" is not an official RatOS pin name and by mistake made it through the PR review, was corrected some months ago.

Hi miklschmidt, thanks for your response. I have a Octopus Pro board (F446) and wirded the probe according to the Dozuki installation guide. When I compare the colors of the wires (in your image), the probe was connected correctly.
Do you have any other recommendation?
Or would it be better to install the probe on an endstop port?
