Z axis home and moving issue

@tecno
Your Z-endstop is set to low end...
M574 Z1 S1 P"io2.in"
Change that to Z2

No go either

If the endstop is at zmin by the nozzle then your endstop config must be M574 Z1 S1 P"io2.in" and your homing move for Z must be G1 H1 Z-150 and I would remove the G92 Z120 entirely unless you need to set a small offset to indicate exactly how far off the bed the nozzle is when the endstop triggers.

You should also define M569 P3 S0 or S1 and make sure the motor rotation is set correctly. But if -z movement makes the bed rise to the nozzle, then it is correct.

M569 makes no difference in moves, homeing Z moves up to nozzle and from there no -Z works

G91 ; relative positioning
G1 H2 Z-5 F6000 - moves bed down

H2 will force a move regardless of where it thinks the Z position is on the axis.

If Z-5 moves the bed down, you have either not followed the settings from my post, or the M569 for the Z axis needs to change the direction of rotation.

Perhaps post your current config.g and homeall.g so we can see what it is now.

You still need to add M569 P4 for the Z axis since you're using driver 4

; Drives
M569 P0 S1                                     				; physical drive 0 goes forwards using default driver timings
M569 P1 S1                                     				; physical drive 1 goes forwards using default driver timings
M569 P2 S1                                     				; physical drive 2 goes forwards using default driver timings
M569 P3 S1                                    				; physical drive 3 goes backwards using default driver timings
M584 X0 Y1 Z4 E2                               				; set drive mapping

G1 H1 Z125 F360 ; move Z up stopping at the endstop

Your homing move must be negative if the endstop is at zmin.

Positive Z moves should move the bed down away from the nozzle. If that homing move is going to the endstop, you need to change the direction of rotation for driver 4.

M569 P4 S0

@Phaedrux

G1 H1 Z125 F360  moves bed up to endswitch with Z set to 0

+25 bed wants to move UP from home pos with M569 P4 S1
-25 nothing happens

M569 P4 S0 homeing goes wrong way = Z is movíng away from from endswitch

And bed moves DOWN

And bed moves DOWN

With M569 P4 S0 or S1 ? Whichever it is, change it so that Z- moves make the bed go up.

THANK YOU !!!

Now it works OK
