Independent Z Axis - One Endstop Not Working
-
What am I missing guys? Ive been searching and going in circles!
I followed this guide
https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Guide/Independent+Z+motors+and+endstop+switches+in+RRF2/18My Z drive end stop works but my U drive is not working: the end stop triggers but the U drive keeps going. This is my config.g and homez.g
Thanks!

What firmware version are you using? M115 to confirm.
Have you considered updating to RRF3 where it's much easier to do multiple endstop homing?

@Phaedrux Youre right! I was running 2.1 and I just finished updating to 3.1.1 and changed a few lines. 10 minutes, Bam. It works. It was actually your comment on another thread about some weirdness with PID related to the firmware that got me thinking about my issue.

While on the subject of duel Z motor endstops..
Is it a better option to use a endstop for each motor or use the probe for a z endstop?
I use the probe right now but seems i will get some tilt one side may be higher that the other.
I'm fairly new with the duet,
i have the homing set in the bed center, should i home the Z at both sides with probe?
and would there be any major changes to the firmware to home independent to x and x+ sides.
I did get ver 3.1.1 installed and running ok to this point, everything works just only homing to a single point at the bed's center.Thanks gary

@gorf26 It's probably easier to use the probe for leveling.

Thanks i am pretty sure its wire correct for the 2 z Motors, its a maestro board and i have one z motor connected to the z Motor and the other connected to E1 motor, so i guess i will have to change the position's it home's at, and use 2 home positions, i don't remember changing the bed.g but will have to check that out...
thanks gary

Don't forget that if your bed is not perfectly flat, bed leveling will try to align 2 points that are not necessarily aligned on the bed plane resulting in tilted bed.
Then you'll also need mesh compensation. -

@barbarossa-cologne Give a man a fish versus teach a man to fish.
If you start with the Gcode above as example you can add the additional 2 axis to get to your 4.
