I'm getting ready to setup my BLTouch on my Ender 3V2. Watch DrVax video on setting it up. I am using the Smith firmware. When I load it it loads fine. I see all the new settings. When I click on the AutoHome button it doesn't home to the lower left it homes to the right and off the z stop. I'm not sure if it should do that or not. I also tried the Aux leaveing but with I click on them nothing happens. I have included pictures hope this make sense. I tired to include pictures but I get an error message every time I try.

I have rechecked the wires at the MB and the BLTouch a few times and nothing. Is there a way to check for power before I send it back?

Hello all
I finally got the BLTouch working. I took it all apart then redid it and it is working. I then installed the smith firmware. It loaded fine. Following the video I clicked on Aux leaving and it homed just fine but when i click on lower left nothing happens. I then noticed the print head was very far off the plate. I went to the z axis tools and when I tired to lower it but nothing happens. I think I have the latest version of the firmware.

Marc, I had the same issue today....exactly the same!!
In the end (due to frustration), i uploaded the original Ender3 v2 firmware and the issue went away. I think it's has to do with the smith firmware (Sept '20).
I noticed that they have released a new version (Oct '20). I'm going to try that now to see if it works. (Fingers crossed for both of us!)
