Most 3D printers, as one type of appliance, also have the firmware to achieve the Human-Computer Interaction and control all the electronic components. With the development of 3D printing technologies, the firmware is improving as well. Therefore, updating (flashing) firmware to a newer version become a need for many 3D printer users.
I then tried to get the bed level using the BLTouch previously installed. Everything worked as it should, but the Marlin Firmware just did not want to execute the Z-Offset I specified.
