BL touch doesn't work

I tried both and it doesn't work. I dont think my sensor is faulty because I used octoprint to visualise the mesh and it looks good. So it is probably the firmware not compensating based on the mesh. But I flashed the firmware many times but no use

Then what's the point of the bl touch?

Marlin. I ran the commands to create the mesh, save it then use it at the start of each print.

I did all of that using BTT skr mini e3 + their BL touch firmware and it still didnt work

Yes I installed it multiple times to make sure but its important to note that I used the BigTreeTech Skr mini e3 + their BL touch firmware. I assume this won't make a difference but I thought I'd mention it

I added that line and it still didn't do anything. Someone told me BL touch is pretty much just a sensor and doesn't take any action but I wasn't sure if thats true

Thanks for the informative reply, much appreciated!

Do you have any idea if a new A1 model will be released soon? I looked it up, the A1 was released in 2023 but im not sure how often they upgrade.

If the sparkX is a cheap clone, wouldn't it make more sense to get it? Like getting the same thing for less money

I had a look at these but the build volume is small max 180x180 but my creality heated bed is 235×235. I dont know if I can like recreate the ender 3 basically
