Duet 3 Mini 5+ Dual Z homing not working
-
I am changing one of my printers from a DuetWifi (yes, an original) to a Duet 3 Mini 5+. I have dual Z motors with each having its own end stop. Before, I had to assign a U axis to get the motors to home. The RRF3 doesn't like that. I read the article on Dual Z Leveling so I set up the 2 Z axis on 2 and 3 and the end stops for them on io_3 and io_4. Both on the "out" pin and GND pin. I had them on the "in" pin first but that made the machine think they were homed before trying. When I tell Z to home, they both lift up 5mm like they are supposed to but only the left motor goes down to try to find its endstop. The right one think it is already homed. I have tested both switches and they are working properly, reading normally closed. I have tried assigning the right one to io_2 as well with the same results. I can set a Z position manually with G92 and move the bed up and down so the motors are both working correctly. What am I overlooking?
Oh,, and I'm also getting "Error: bad drive number" noted in console. Related?
Here is my config.g file. Ignore all the commented out stuff. I do that as I connect more things. I test them as I connect them.

@SpeedyDad UPDATE: I mucked around in my homez.g file and changed it a bit. I now have it trying to home both Z motors. They go "down" and the left motor stops when the left endstop is triggered but the right motor keeps going until it reaches its target location. The right endstop appears to be doing nothing.
Another data point. If I do a M119 with just the left or right endstop triggered, it says "not stopped". If I run M119 with both triggered, it says at max stop as it should.
Here is my homez.g file

@SpeedyDad Success!!! The key to getting the second endstop working was that pin io4.out does not work for an endstop. There is an * that says *o4.out shared with pson. I guess that disables it? Anyways, I put my Y endstop on 4 and my 2nd Z endstop on 2. Works fine now.

Both on the "out" pin and GND pin. I had them on the "in" pin first but that made the machine think they were homed before trying.
You can use the ‘out’ pin as an input, but be aware that they are only 3.3V tolerant, ie if you short the endstop to higher voltage (entirely possible), you’ll destroy the main processor on the board! Better to use the ‘in’ pins, which are 30V tolerant. If they were marked as already homed, add a '
!to the pin name to invert the logic. Though this means your endstops are NO, not NC.Oh,, and I'm also getting "Error: bad drive number" noted in console. Related?
Probably because you have commented out the extruder drive in M584, but it still has a drive in the tool definition, M563.

Ah. Thanks for all that. I'll switch the pins and comment out the extruder.
