homing dual z with independant motors
-
What guides?
E12 isn't valid in any way.
-
@monkey68 do you want me to remove all the extra e stuff i put in when you told me to remove all the z stuff?
-
Yes, all the duplicate E stuff is probably going to mess up your extruder.

@phaedrux said in homing dual z with independant motors:

so how am i supposed to show the E1 drive high position?
-
You don't have to. The E driver is assigned to the Z axis and will take all of the settings applied to Z.
M574 Z2 S1 P"!zstop+!e1stop"
That line tells the firmware that the Z endstop will be the combo of zstop and e1stop.
Home the z axis as a single axis and it will take care of the rest.
It's a lot simpler than you seem to think it is.
Again, which guides are you looking at? If it's a Duet wiki page that is leading you astray, let me know and I can try and make it clearer.
-
@phaedrux ok thankyou for explaing that. So the endstops report as stopped when pushed in m119 and not stopped when not pushed but it doesnt stop the gantry had to estop[ it again
-
Can you copy and paste the results of M119?
Can you also post your current config.g and homeall.g just so I'm looking at the current versions you're actually using?

@monkey68 not using home all just doing the axis separately at this stage, but here is home all;

@monkey68 removed that and the endstops still do not stop the gantry

G30 ; home Z by probing the bedIf you're just doing home Z then your homez file needs to be updated to match how you're homing z in homeall. You still have the H2 move which is just going to smash into the endstop. and you still have the errant E commands.
Try this:
Home z;
G90 ; absolute positioning
G1 X125 Y105 F6000 ; go to probe point
G91 ; relative positioning
G1 H1 Z305 F1800 ; home z to max
G1 Z-5 F6000 ; back off
G1 H1 Z10 F360 ; home z again
G90
G30 ; home Z by probing the bed -
Also, if you have the probe, you don't even really need to use the endstops for Z at all.
Have you read through this page yet? https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Bed_levelling_using_multiple_independent_Z_motors

@phaedrux ok that works for homing z thankyou so much. in answer to your question have i read this many many times. i used to have duets optical end stop and my bed leveling would be all over the place and make it un printable, so i got to the point that i would not do mesh bed levelling just home and go, no problems.
thinking about it i changed the optical endstop out for a pinda probe and had similar bed mesh problems so i turned the endstops back on with independant motors trying to make sure the gantry had not sagged and causing me the mesh errors, plus homing on the high side gives me the ability to recover prints and using the probe does not -
Yes nothing wrong with using both a z endstop and probe. I do so myself for the same power recovery reason.

@monkey68 just tried home all and the y axis drove away from the switch and homing failed so i made the following changes
G91 ; relative positioning
G1 H2 Z5 F6000 ; lift Z relative to current position
G1 H1 X-282 Y-265 F1800 ; move quickly to X and Y axis endstops and stop there (first pass)
G1 H2 X5 Y5 F6000 ; go back a few mm
G1 H1 X-282 Y-265 F360 ; move slowly to X and Y axis endstops once more (second pass)
G90
G1 X125 Y105 F6000 ; go to probe point
G91
G1 H1 Z305 F1800 ; move Z up stopping at the endstop
G1 Z-5 F6000 ; back off
G1 H1 Z10 F360 ; home z again
G90 ; absolute positioning
G30 ; home Z by probing the bed
that seam to work
