ABL PROBE OFFSETS
Here are X & Y OFFSETS for the right side attachable ABL mounts.

18MM EZABL X +42 Y +1

MINI EZABL X +42 Y +1

BLTOUCH X +48 Y -2

I have the mini, but how to set it up ?
every time the leveling reach the right side of the bed, the sensor is out of the bed and the nozzle crash into the bed....

Any ideas?

Because Geeetech has not posted the latest version of the source code for the A30 firmware, there is no way to change the values for the ABL probe offsets. Unfortunately, there's nothing that can be done until they post the source code.

I opened a ticket on their Github site with no response.

This printer has a very good hardware, but crappy software....
So, I'm going to fix many issues and compile new and improve firmware for myself from the scc.
If it will go well, I will publish here the results and the file.

Wish me luck

I keep my fingers crossed.

That's how I think ...
As if everyone who wants to program would make an appointment with the GT programmers to work together, instead of trying to fiddle on their own ...
The result could be amazing

I have been working on the same thing. Unfortunately, Geeetech has not published the 1.37.58 version of their software on Github. The latest version of their source code is from 4 months ago and therefore does not include the code necessary to use the BLTouch/3DTouch.

Also, they were in the middle of converting their source from an IAR-based solution to an Eclipse-based solution, but discovered many problems with it. They subsequently stopped work on the Eclipse version and we are left with only the old IAR solution.

I have inquired to Geeetech about them releasing the latest version of the source code but they have not responded.

On a side note, a few individuals have been working on porting Marlin 2.0 to work on the GTM32-mini board in the A30. I've switched my focus to do the same and map the old source code to the new Marlin base. Hopefully that will eventually eliminate the need for any of the poorly supported Geeetech firmware. There are a few comments about this work near the end of this thread: https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin/issues/7076

Firmware version 1.37.58 supports 3D Touch, try it

This is the firmware that wouldn’t let me push/pull pin through the menu, let me know how it works for you

Tried, it's not good enough.
