The error is error: #error "BLTOUCH requires Z_MIN_ENDSTOP_INVERTING set to false. Please update your Configuration.h file."

you have #define Z_MIN_ENDSTOP_INVERTING true in your Configuration.h

@ellensp I should have communicated more clearly. It doesn't matter if it is set true or false, You get the same error regardless. Please reopen.

Please read the error
this is Z_MIN_ENDSTOP_INVERTING not Z_MIN_PROBE_ENDSTOP_INVERTING

@ellensp Got it, I can compile now. However with the offending selections in the define statements, my BLTouch worked fine. What's going on here? Will it still work with these #define changes?

[ellensp]

You looked at the PR "remove bltouch auto settings, use error instead of warnings" ,
Originally Marlin reset these setting to what was required completely unseen by the user. Causing much confusion as to what the real requirements were, and numerous posts that where just wrong regarding the required settings.

I originally added warnings that marlin was resetting some config settings #22069
But Thinkyhead insisted that the warnings be errors so the Config files are accurate, and not just made to work regardless of bad settings. Thus PR #22086

BLTOUCH requires Z_MIN_PROBE_ENDSTOP_INVERTING set to false. Please update your Configuration.h file does that mean i can not change to " True" im using 2.0.9.1 newest Marlin Firmware 2.0.8.0 it worked but now you get this why ?

Would love to know myself as YouTube guides state to put the setting to 'true', but the latest firmware refuses that setting.

YouTube videos & older guides are outdated. Follow the error message and set it to false.
