Core XY Inverted Axis & Endstop Issues

Shiven

Hi All,
Have built my 3d Printer (Hypercube - Core XY Design) and have been running it on RAMPs the last couple of weeks. All went well and i've got some decent calibration prints out of it. The printer itself is functional.

I've just migrated my way over to the DuetWifi, and have been fiddling about with anything and everything i can find to get a handle on how it all comes together; I've found myself in a spot of bother however. Following this article in particular: https://duet3d.com/wiki/Configuring_RepRapFirmware_for_a_CoreXY_printer

if i run;

[[language]]
M569 P0 S0
M569 P1 S0

G91 G1 S2 X10 F3000
G91 G1 S2 Y10 F3000

These appear to function as intended; origin at front left of cube, +y is towards the rear of the cube, +x is to the right of the cube and their respective negative counterparts. This suggests that my motors are running as i'd expect them to.

I come along to the front page of the wifi control, click x+10, and y+10 triggers. As the code above (& the page) suggests that my motors are in their correct holsters, has anyone got an idea as to why that is the way it is? I'll attach my config below.

I have one further issue, this is to do with Endstops however. As above, i hit Y-100 and then trip my Y endstop by hand. The system does come to a halt but there seems to be a significant delay between the trigger occurring and the system actually stopping. My X carriage was able to move 50mm or so before coming to a stop, AFTER the endstop had triggered.

Configuration attached below, any help is much appreciated!

1. Try swapping the one of the XY motor directions as both motors on a corexy contribute to movement. Usually (but not always) a corexy is something like M569 P0 S0 and M569 P1 S1.

2. When doing a move such as Y-100, it'll only stop when it senses the end stop if you tell it to by using the S1 parameter. The buttons on the web interface use the default which is S0 (do not sense end stop). So if you do a slow move by sending G1 Y-100 S1 F(something low) the hit the end stop switch, it should stop instantly. If you don't stipulate S1, it'll ignore the switch. When you tried it, the move probably carried on until it hit the axis minima or maxima.

1. You need to put the G91 on a separate line when testing the motor directions:

G91
G1 S2 X10 F3000
G1 S2 Y10 F3000

2. In RRF versions prior to 1.19, the X and Y motors are swapped compared to most other firmwares. So you probably need to swap your X and Y motor connections. Or you could upgrade to firmware 1.10beta10 instead, but read https://duet3d.com/wiki/DuetWiFiFirmware_1.19beta first in that case.

Excellent, thanks guys.

I've managed to resolve the issues as noted, here is my updated config.g for anyone lurking on this forum with the same issue. As stated each of these machines are different so ymmv.

Off to fiddle!

Thanks again~
