Stall detection and sensorless homing

Any update on the CoreXY homming? Does it work in 1.20 stable?

I am using sensorless homing for quite a while now on my corexy (and it works well).
The only facility you loose is the ability to resume prints after a power failure but that is not a big deal for me as I print small parts most of the time

Can you post your g-code for sensorless homing? I would be grateful

Hi Dragonn,

this is the macro I use:

M400			; make sure everything has stopped before we make changes
M913 X65 Y65 		; XY motors to 65% current	
M915 H400 X Y S0 R0 F0	; set X and Y to sensitivity 0, do nothing when stall, unfiltered
M574 X1 Y1 S3		; set endstops to use motor stall

G91			; use relative positioning
G1 Z10 F1200		; lift Z

G1 S1 X-325 F2400 	; move right/back 325mm, stopping at the endstop
G4 P500			; wait 500msec
G1 X5			; move away from home
G4 P500			; wait 500msec
M400			; make sure everything has stopped before we make changes
; X is homed at this point, now home the other axis
G1 S1 Y-325 F2400	; move beyond axis minimum 
G4 P500			; wait 500msec
G1 Y5			; move away from home

G1 Z-10 F1200		; lower Z
M400			; make sure everything has stopped 
M913 X100 Y100          ; XY motors to 100% current
G90			; back to absolute positioning
M574 X1 Y1 S1		; define active low microswitches

the macro is then called with M98 from the homing files.
Motor current and stall sensitivity are directly related, so you will need to tweak that…

M917 is not the right command to reduce the current during homing, it should be M913.

Thanks for the sharp eyes David (fixed above post)
This means I was homing without current reduction (which works anyway ;))

When I'm trying to use the macro with axis not homed, I'm getting:

M98 P"0:/macros/Positions/Sensorless homing"
Error: G0/G1: insufficient axes homed

Any hints how to overcome that?

whosrdaddy

Newer firmwares forbid movement when axes are not homed.
To get the original behavior, add M564 H0 to your config.g file.

Alternatively add parameter S2 to your G1 Z commands in the macros.
