Multiply issues with new 6HC

yagodajm

@droftarts Good Evening, Here are my current config and homing files. I am using StepperOnline motors. I have these on my other printer and they work great. They are Bipolar 2.0 A. I added the line in my config for the WiFi, I just don't think the server is starting up automatically like it should, If I do a M552 I1 S1 and look on the Machine_ specific page it shows the firmware number. I still never get any lights on the wifi module itself.

Thanks,
Justin

@yagodajm Good evening, Ok I got all the motors wired up and double-checked everything. I still can't get anything to home correctly with the home files above. When I do home all or home each one, it acts like it will home and just stops and the axis turns blue like it has been homed. I can move that axis, but only in one direction.

I finally got the WiFi to connect. I was in the DWC and ran a M552 I1 S0, M552 I1 S1, and a M587 with the WiFi network and password. I got a green LED and it connected. Do I just have to add the M552 I1 S1 to the config file for it to connect every time?

I will continue to got through Home files to see what I am missing. One not, this printer is one where the bed raises up and down and the Y and X move back and forth. Do I have to do a different config? I also have two motors on Z on two separate axis, two motors on Y on two separate axis, and X by itself. Would it just be better to tie the two Z and two Y to one driver?

Thanks for all of you help so far.

Justin

@yagodajm Ok, I got X and Y to home correctly, I had to set the endstops to Low. Those now home properly. I am still having an issue with Z and the BL touch probe.

This is what the configurator tool created.

; Probes
M558 K0 P9 C"""io2.in""" H5 F120 T6000 ; configure BLTouch probe via slot #0
G31 P500 X0 Y0 Z0.7 ; set Z probe trigger value, offset and trigger height
M950 S0 Cio2.out ; create servo #0 for BLtouch

I get this error on start-up Error in start-up file macro line 49: Unknown pin name '"io2.in"'

My question is what are there 3 sets of " around the io2.in pin? And why are there now around io2.out?

If I remove the " from the io2.in and add a set to io2.out, then the on homing after x and Y home, the hotend will move to the center of the bed and I get this error. Error: line 12 column 135: meta command: array index out of bounds
Error: Failed to home axes Z

I looked through the documentation, but Can't find any answers.

Thanks,
Justin

jay_s_uk

@yagodajm you should have 1 set of " around the io pin

yagodajm

@jay_s_uk I tried that I still get this error, Error: line 12 column 135: meta command: array index out of bounds
Error: Failed to home axes Z. I have tried every combination so far. I also noticed that when I try and test my BLTouch nothing happens. When I first turn on my printer it does a double click and it is red, so I know it works.

Why are you trying to find xCenter, etc using move.compensation.probeGrid.mins[0] and so forth?

@fcwilt This is the file that the RRF Config tool made. I think everything is different with the 3.5 config tool now. My other printer is running on 3.4.6 so the files are all different. I can't use those files for a comparison.

The error you mentioned suggests that the lines that are setting xCenter and yCenter are attempting to index into values that do not exist.

As a test set xCenter and yCenter directly to values that you compute by hand and see if the error goes away.

@fcwilt Good afternoon, Ok I finally got a chance to make changes to the home file. I just set X150 Y150. That worked, the error went away and the z axis homed. I am not sure why the RRF is making the home files like that now, it is very confusing.

One last question, my hotend fan comes right on when I start up my printer. I changed that line every which way and can't get it to shut off. It should only come on when the hotend gets to 45c. It is just a regular 2 wire fan.

I have it wired on out4 GND and V_outLC1.

M950 F1 C"out4" ; create fan #1
M106 P1 S0 B0.1 H1 T45 ; configure fan #1

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Justin

It's a very bad idea because it relies on values that may not be set when homing Z, as you have found.

It should be wired to OUT4 instead of OUT4 GND.

@fcwilt thank you, that worked. The part fan should be wired the same way, correct.
