is also why the homing speed is so slow, to give my hand time.

you can test the switches without moving the motors, just press and hold a switch while you run M119 release switch and run M119again to confirm both states. repeat for each axis

@firex726 Or use the machine specific settings page in DWC to watch the endstops while triggering them, rather than running M119

Edit: Posts deleted to avoid confusion! But leaving this bit because of note about documentation.

He's basically doing this: https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/ConfiguringRepRapFirmwareCoreXYPrinter#Section_Testing_motor_movement
Though document needs updating to change S2 to H2 moves.

YIKES!!!

Working from memory, I thought the H2 was endstop related ( as a safety net).

I've deleted my above post... thanks for catching that.

Hi All,

Carriage is in the center, normally 140, 140...

G91 G1 H2 X10

Moves diagonal towards 0, 280.

Was this with M569 P3 S1 and M569 P4 S1?

G91 G1 H2 Y10

Moves diagonal towards 0, 0.

M569 P3 S0
M569 P4 S0
G91 G1 H2 X10

Moves diagonal towards 280, 0.

From the test description: If it moves towards +X and -Y, swap the X and Y motor connections.

G91 G1 H2 X10

Moves diagonal towards 280, 280.

I assume you mean Y10?

Swap the motor connections and test again. Make sure you're using M569 P3 S0 and M569 P4 S0.

firex726

Well that did it.

Reversing the motor directions and also swapping the wiring. It'll both home and move in the correct directions now...

Thanks for everyone's help!

Now to clean up the wiring and calibrate it.

Danal

Woo Hoo!!! Extremely glad to hear that things are moving in the anticipated directions, etc, etc.

Woooo Hoooo!!!!

I knew we'd get there eventually.

Ha ha I haven't commented on this thread before but have followed it along the way. Just goes to show while building and setting up 3D printers can be very frustrating at times, if you stick with it and work through problems logically you get there in the end.

I've been a member of this forum for 5 years now, active off and on and it is by far the best community I have found.

For those that are far more knowledgable than I and constantly strive to help others and never giving up, like in this thread, and never getting fed up with constant "noob" questions, I thank you!

On a personal note, I'm immensely grateful to have such a wealth of knowledge at my finger tips and probably would have given up on this hobby long ago.

Oh dear god, I seem to have something in my eye causing it to water I'm going now lol
