@gabrealek said in New to the duet COMPLETE NEWBIE:
I think this should work. Since you have a Z end stop you can start by homing Z.
My printers don't allow for homing X and Y at the same time - so I don't even know if it is possible. If not just do them one axis at a time.
Add/Adjust F params as desired.
JOOC where did the 480,000 value come from? That is rather fast.

G90 ; absolute positioningThe reason for the error is because you've taken the H2 off of the Z move at the start and end. Those were ok. I just wanted you to remove it from the XY move in the middle.
This would work, but @fcwilt provided a better option anyway that homes the Z axis first.

@Phaedrux Okay.
With both of them my z wont go any lower than the middle. i cant get close to the bed at all . . -
If you send just
G1 H1 Z-400 F600in the console does it move the z axis down to the endstop or does it just sit there and change the z axis position to 0? -
@Phaedrux said in New to the duet COMPLETE NEWBIE:

It just sits there. when i press home z it goes higher. when i try to bring it back down it does nothing.

And does it set the current position to Z0?
Check M119 again please. It sounds like the endstop is already triggered at the start, so it won't move any further.

When configuring a printer for the first time you need to take certain precautions.
For instance you can trigger an end stop switch by hand to verify that it stops the movement of the axis when it should.
In this case you would start from far the bed, being homing, hit the end stop switch and confirm movement stops.
If it didn't you can kill power before something breaks - like you piece of glass.
Also you can force very slow speeds by editing your M203 command to something like
M203 X500 Y500 Z500
which gives you more time to observe and react if something starts to go wrong.
Did you use my homing code?
We can get things working - just take it one step at a time.

@fcwilt yes . . I did use the homing code .. the way my setup is right now i have to reach around to kill the power. . im going to to change things once i print some supports for the new things . . Thank you. I appreciate your help. Im going to post all of my homes to see if you can find anything. . At this point im staring at the computer . . kind of scared to turn it back on . . I may need to take a break.

It's late here (11:30 EST) and I need to turn in. We can take this up tomorrow.
I'm working on my 6th, 7th and 8th printer.
Even so I still take it one step at a time.
Step one is always to get the WiFi working so I have access to the DWC where I can do the rest of the configuration.
Then I connect one piece of hardware at a time and verify that it is working as expected - that stepper motors turn, end stop switches work correctly, fans run, heaters heat, etc.
By doing that when something doesn't work I know exactly where I need to look for the problem.

Ah nuts. Sorry about that.
I'm wondering if your Z endstop wiring is not correct.
Regardless of the ! being there or not, if it's electrically connected to the Duet it should report as stopped/not stopped and change state if the switch is actually clicked at the time when you send M119.
Can you post a photo of the endstop wiring at the board? The creality endstops should be wired to the 2 outside pins of the endstop connector.
