End stops not working after upgrade to 1.19
-
The end stops are being triggered in Machine properties but not stopping the motors. And I am getting an error message on the IR Z probe "Insufficient axes homed for bed probing". I expect it is my bad, but cannot work it out. I tried changing the ends in M557 but no luck. Here are the home files.

Firmware 1.20 is current now. Please post your config.g file.

Awesome response as usual David. Will do the 1.2 upgrade. In the meantime here is config .g.

Thanks. I didn't spot anything wrong in the config file.
Are they optical endstops? Those sometimes leak a little, often due to the carriage not completely blocking the slot, and if they don't have built-in pullup resistors then the external LED+resistor pullups in the endstop circuits may not be sufficient, resulting in no response or a slow response. In an earlier firmware version (1.18 AFAIR) I disabled the internal endstop pullups in the microprocessor to try to resolve a separate issue; but I've re-enabled them in firmware 1.20.

The end stops are mechanical except for the IR probe on Z. I have upgraded to 1.2. Now the end stops in Machine properties are hitting but the Z probe has stopped hitting however the red LED on the IR probe is still activating at the right distance from the bed.
-
I should of said end stops still not stopping X and Y axis and z still getting Insufficient axes homed for bed probing error

Also getting an error message when connecting on WiFi "Can't open 0:/sys/oem.json to read, error code 4"

That's normal, and you can ignore that message.
Please run M574 without parameters after a failed X or Y homing attempt and post the response here. You can reduce motor currents for now to avoid damage when homing an axis fails to stop.
What type of switch are they: simple 2-wire microswitches (in which case, why are you using the NO contacts instead of the NC ones), or the 3-wire Makerbot type?

Just a thought but it's not this is it (from the upgrade notes for 1.19)….........

Important! If you use an IR Z probe or some other type that does not need to be deployed, delete the files sys/deployprobe and sys/retractprobe.g if they exist, because they are now called automatically. You can do this in the System Files Editor of the web interface.

Thanks for the input guys. The end stops are 3 wire Makerbot. I am also getting an error on the bed heater.
Error: Temperature reading fault on heater 0: unknown temperature sensor channel
M574 reports Endstop configuration: X:low end unknown type Y: low end unknown type Z: none, -
Decided I had nothing to lose and redid the configuration with the RRF configuration tool. This has sorted out all my problems. Thanks for your time David.
-
I'm sorry I was a little slow in responding. The M574 "unknown type" report was caused by a firmware bug, it should have said "active low switch". This will be fixed i release 1.20.1. The heater 0 problem was caused because you didn't have a M305 command for heater 0 in config.g.

Thanks again. Happily printing now.
