G29 on CoreXY does not move correctly

TechButterfly

@fcwilt Thanks! I look forward to working with you when I get back. I saw the stuff about defining a matrix but didn't understand it. Hope to learn something new when I'm back home again.

@techbutterfly

Just FYI.

G32 executes bed.g - which is intended to do bed leveling, not create the heightmap needed for mesh bed compensation.

What you have done will, of course, work but it is using bed.g in a somewhat unusual way.

Now as to you Core XY settings.

I would like you to do this from the DWC console:

execute M564 H0 which will allow moving axes that are not yet homed
jog X to the near the center of the bed
jog Y to the near the center of the bed
execute G92 X160 Y135 which will set the X and Y logical positions to appx halfway between axis min and max
execute G90 which will set absolute move mode
execute G1 X210 Y185 just to test a move command
execute G1 X110 Y85 just to test another move command

Does the jogging move as expected?

Do the G1 commands move as expected?

Frederick

Phaedrux

Can you make a video of you homing the printer and running a mesh compnesation?

G28 G29

TechButterfly

@fcwilt I ran the commands you said - everything moved as expected, both jogging and using G1 commands. X+ was to the right. Y+ was toward the back.

What should I do next?

As far as G32, bed.g, and G29, whatever I have is either the default or perhaps came along with something I copied from somewhere. Please feel free to tell me a more acceptable way to accomplish things like bed leveling or mesh compensation. There's definitely plenty I don't know.

Phaedrux

Your homing files and config and mesh.g look alright to me. I don't see anything that would cause weird movement behaviour anyway.

TechButterfly

@phaedrux To verify what I posted before, after doing the tests @fcwilt requested, I homed Y and tested the movement - everything was still fine. I then homed X and once again, the movement is now wrong. The Y motor no longer turns - it is locked in place, so it's not just dead, the controller thinks it's not supposed to turn. I don't know what to do next.

fcwilt

@techbutterfly said in G29 on CoreXY does not move correctly:

I ran the commands you said - everything moved as expected, both jogging and using G1 commands. X+ was to the right. Y+ was toward the back.

Just to be sure, did both of the G1 commands move on the diagonal and ended up at the correct XY position?

I know this is a pain but maybe if you made a video showing what happened during the tests I suggested we would see something that would give us a clue.

Right now I am somewhat baffled.

Thanks.

Frederick

fcwilt

@techbutterfly

One other thing - could you edit the homey.g file to add a G1 move?

G90     ; existing G90 at end of file
G1 Y135 ; move to middle of Y axis

I would like to be sure that the Y axis can still move correctly after homing.

Frederick

TechButterfly

@fcwilt Yes when I ran the G1 commands, the head moved diagonally to the assigned positions. I ran them back and forth a couple of times. I also ran just the X110 to X210 part by itself several times and observed the head going left and right between those spots, and the Y85 to Y185 part by itself and watched the head go forward and back between those spots.

Then I homed Y and jogged the head around a bit. And then I homed X and now the Y motor doesn't turn, just the X motor, regardless of the direction requested, so the head moves diagonally. The panel due says the motor is moving as requested, but the head is not moving that way.

Let me see if I can put together a video.

That is just so strange.

I've look at the homex.g file and I don't see anything that would cause the behavior you are seeing.

We must be overlooking something.

Hang in there. We will get it sorted. I've built 9 different printers over time and I got them all to work despite the odd problem know and then.

Frederick

TechButterfly

@fcwilt Thanks - I appreciate your taking the time. I'm going to see if I can make a video.

TechButterfly

@phaedrux I just saw this request - I will try this when I make the video. I know it will end in a crash, because the movement will be screwed up, but I'll give it a try at the end.

fcwilt

@techbutterfly

I think I see the problem.

In the homex.g file you have a M92 X0 instead of G92 X0.

I hope my example didn't have that mistake. That would be very embarrassing. Very.

Frederick

TechButterfly

@fcwilt Oh I'm sure it was my mistake. Let me fix that and try again...

TechButterfly

@fcwilt That was it! Thanks so much! I need to be more mindful of my M's and G's I guess!

So while we're here - can you tell me the difference between the bed.g and mesh.g, and how I should use them correctly?

TechButterfly

@fcwilt I tried to run G29, but there's something wrong with my heater settings - I think I'm just addressing the tools incorrectly. It looks to me like I'm supposed to set the active and standby temps for each tool with the M568 command, and then set those tools to active with the A2 attribute. And if I want them to wait before proceeding, I have to put an M116 command. That is essentially what I'm trying to do with this section of my mesh.g but it's not working right. Can you tell me what's wrong with these commands?

;set temps
M568 P0 S60 R60                   ;set bed temp
M568 P1 S200 R160                 ;set extruder temps
M568 P0 A2                        ;set bed temp to active
M568 P1 A2                        ;set extruder to active
M116 H0 S5                        ;wait for bed to reach temp +-5
M116 H1 S10                       ;wait for extruder to reach temp +-10

TechButterfly

Hmm. It looks like I'm supposed to just use a regular old M140 for the bed temp part of it.
