dual Z motors and end stops issues

DallasH

Dual Z motors and end stops issues, my dual z homing stops at first endstop, does not back away and make second contact.

config.g:
; Drives
M569 P0 S1 ; Drive 0 goes forwards
M569 P1 S1 ; Drive 1 goes forwards
M569 P2 S1 ; Drive 2 goes forwards
M569 P3 S1 ; Drive 3 goes forwards
M569 P4 S1 ; Drive 4 goes forwards

Order dependence

M584 must come earlier in config.g than any M350 and M906 commands. If it creates new axes, it must also be earlier than any M92, M201, M203, M208, M350, M566, M574 , M667 and M669 commands.

are you aware of https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Bed_levelling_using_multiple_independent_Z_motors ?

@veti Sorry I am new to this post processing coding, so I should cut and paste the endstop section of config.g to above the drive section?

Veti

there are several topics about this on the forum
have a look here

@veti I have read many post and followed the guide, but there are so many post and seems that no 2 are even similar.

@dallash said in dual Z motors and end stops issues:

G1 S1 Z-235 U-235 F500 ; move Z down until the endstop is triggered

this will go down and stop when one is triggered.
there is nothing in your script that would trigger them interdependent.

with the independent z motor set up there is no need for this and it will level your bed in an optimal way for your hotend.

I tried this, but not working correctly

@dallash also the u axis does not show up in the web interface

Veti

@dallash
why would it? you did set the P parameter in M584

Veti

can you tell us what is not working?
