Limit Switch Trouble
-
Hi I'm having trouble with my limit switches. I'm using the makerbot switch's, I made sure the wires are connected correctly and I'm using RepRapFirmware 3.
The problem is that when I run the home command, it does nothing unless I close the limit switch, then it will home until I release the switch, they are working backwards. When I close the switch, the light comes on just like it should. I have tried it with it set to both active high and active low, I even went into the config file to confirm whether or not a ! was in front of the pin name, ! for active low and nothing for active high.
What is going on? I have used the Duet 2 wifi before (which is what I'm using) and never had this problem before even with the very same limit switches. It started doing it with my original board, at first I though maybe I had the wires wired up wrong and maybe that damaged the board, so I bought a new board but it does the same thing. -
Please post your config file.
Confirm that you have firmware 3.1.1 installed by sending M115. -

@amostol can you post the first few lines of m122 ?
You may be on version 3 config , but are you on version 3 firmware ?m122

@amostol Can you show a picture of the wiring, on the endstop switch and on the Duet? If you send M119, what does the endstops report when not pressed? While our guide here https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Connecting_endstop_switches#Section_Makerbot_Mechanical_Endstop_v1_Num_2 says to invert these endstops with '!', it may be that you have a version that does not need inversion.
As others have already said, please post your firmware version.

It says

I just updated it to 3, I do not understand why it is saying version 2, I guess I'll have to try updating again.I have tried it without the ! and it makes no difference. Thanks for the help.

That explains it. Your config is for RRF3 but your firmware is still RRF2.
You'll need to update to 3.0 and then 3.1.1. Perhaps you tried to go straight to 3.1.1?
Easiest way is to upload the entire 3.0 zip file as is (don't extract it yourself) to the /sys folder via DWC. It should be detected and automatically update everything needed.
Then do the same thing with the 3.1.1 zip file.

@amostol
Looks like I was spot on that you have config.g / firmware mismatch.Upgrade to version 3 or use the version 2 configurator

I updated it and now it works, I most have done something wrong the first time I tried to update it.
Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it.
