Trouble with my BLTouch

So I bought an Ender-3 and a BLTouch. After upgrading the firmware to Marlin, and attaching the sensor, the machine wont home. X and Y are fine but when it tries to home Z the sensor just deploys once, immediately retracts and the Z axis never moves.

 

What do I do?

How did you update the firmware? Supplied firmware or just downloaded from the marlin GitHub page?

Also, make sure the sensor is connected properly.

Downloaded from Github, then uploaded through an Arduino as ISP. (The USB cable is coming on Monday). Both red and blue LED's are shining solidly, which I think means the connection is fine. 

 

Followed this tutorial
