G28 X took too long to respond
-
Hi, my board was working fine and all axis would home correctly. After a couple of days not using it I switched it on and homed all the axis and the X axis would not home and comes up with the following error (see attached). the console will then repeat this warning until I reset the board.
I have tried reflashing the firmware and reconfiguring the repeal firmware. I have check the connections and even re wired. The strange thing is, when I change the stepper to a driver configured to the Z or Y axis this will move but whenever I try move the X (even if I configure it to a driver that works with the Z&Y) nothing happens and I get the following error messages saying “G28 X took too long to respond”.If you’re able to help me fix this that would be greatly appreciated, I am not sure if I am missing something or if it is a bug with the board. Please see config.g file attached let me know if you need any other info.

Do you ever move the gantry by hand when power is off or the steppers are powered down?
Frederick

@fcwilt Nope, hadn't touched it for a couple of days and when I came back to it and homed the axis the X axis wouldn't budge. When I plug in the Y axis stepper into driver 0 and configure it to Y axis it homes fine. But when I then home the X using a different driver it gives me the same issues so I don't know if the drivers are to blame or not.
I have also tried moving the X axis using command M564 S0 H0 to by pass homing but then I get the same warning message "Warning: motor phase A may be disconnected reported by driver(s) 0
Warning: motor phase B may be disconnected reported by driver(s) 0". -
Well if the problem follows the stepper then the stepper or the wiring to the stepper must be the cause.
Did you check continuity of the phases from the connector to the stepper?
Frederick

@fcwilt said in G28 X took too long to respond:
continuity
I have checked the wiring and re-wired them to check the connection wasn't faulty, the stepper is fine when I configure it as a different axis however whenever it or any other working motor is assigned as the X axis it doesn't work which is the strange thing. The only thing I can think it could be is if there's an issue with my firmware.
-
So the problem follows the firmware configuration not the actual stepper.
Please post your config.g file using the </> tag.
Also post your homing files the same way.
Thanks.

I'm having trouble understanding this from your config.g file:
; Axis Limits M208 X0 Y0 Z0 S1 ; set axis minima M208 X550 Y1054 Z800 S0 ; set axis maxima ; Z probe G31 P500 X0 Y0 Z2.5 ; set Z probe trigger value, offset and trigger height M557 X15:215 Y15:195 S20 ; define mesh grid M307 H7 A-1 C-1 D-1 ; Unbind heater 7 pins for probe use. M584 X0.0 Y0.1 Z0.2 E0.3 ; set drive mapping M584 X0 Y1 Z2:4 E3; two Z motors connected to driver outputs Z and E1 M208 X550 Y1054 Z800 S0 ; set axis maxima M208 X-5:205 Y0:200 ; X carriage moves from -5 to 205, Y bed goes from 0 to 2001 - is your probe truly in the same XY location as the nozzle?
2 - why are you defining the mesh grid to only cover a small part of the bed?
3 - that M307 should not be needed - why is it there?
4 - you have two M584 - why?
5 - you have two M208 - why?
I think that is enough questions for now.
Frederick
-
I hadn't got round to sorting the probe and mesh grid yet as I was having some issues setting up my BLTouch but before I got to that the X axis issues occurred.
The M307 was added as I was trying to follow a guide to get the BLTouch working.
The additional M584 was added to drive both leadscrews for the Z and I forgot to clean that up so have done now
I have got rid of the additional M208 command on line 15.
I'm fairly new to the software side of things so thank you for your patience and help. If you have any other advice it would be greatly apricated.
By removing those duplicates this issue still persists.
-
You have this: M671 X-20:220 Y0:0 S0.5 and this M208 X-5:205 Y0:200
According to that your leadscrews are at the front edge of the bed.
Is that correct?
And your Z endstop is at the very bottom of the Z axis?
Frederick
-
My lead screws are offset about 400mm from the front edge of the bed with the (Y axis homed) and my Z endstop is at the top of the printer, I wanted the home position to be at the top and set to maximum position then use the z probe to find the minimum.
If you could let me know how I can change those value to fit the above that would be great.
With regards to the original issue would these tweaks make a difference to fixing the X axis issue or is their a fault with the board? I only ask because it seemed to be working fined despite the duplicated code etc.
-
Is your printer a bed slinger - that is to say the bed moves back and forth on the Y axis?
Frederick
-
@fcwilt That's correct
-
@eegroeg said in G28 X took too long to respond:
@fcwilt That's correct
Hmm...
I've not dealt with that type before - I'm not sure how to set M671 when the Y position of the lead screws is variable. But it may make no difference since you can only level the bed on the X axis so perhaps Y0:0 is correct.
So if bed leveling is working let's move on.
Since you may have made changes to config.g please post it again.
Thanks.
Frederick
-
Please see config.g below
The X axis is still giving the same error when I try to home it. It worked fine before with this config.g file so I am concerned if there is an issue with my board.

Curious.
If it was a board problem then swapping, say, X and Y connections to the board and updating the configuration to reflect that change, should move the problem to the Y stepper.
But you say that doesn't happen?
Frederick
-
That's right, it's really got me stuck.
-
@eegroeg said in G28 X took too long to respond:
That's right, it's really got me stuck.
And you checked the connections for the X stepper as I recall.
Do you have another stepper you could connect to the board for X to see if the problem is the stepper itself?
Frederick
-
Was going through the very basics and tried re configuring drivers again and looks like I'm getting nothing now from driver 0 now...
With the board being under warranty would this be able to be replaced?
