Motor Config question
-
Hi I new at this and there are a few things I'm trying to sort out.
when they say at low end or at high end in location do they mean front right for X left back for Y and all down for Z ? Also i have 0.9 step motors so i put in 160 mm in steps for mm (with the calculator) but shoud i leave it at x16 interpolated to x256?
Also I read, cann't remember where, I should add M667 S1 ; Select CoreXY mode in the movement section but in the config.g I can not find a movement section.Thanks for any help

So default config is for the origin at front left for xy so yes low end x is left and low end y is front.
z=0 is with build plate touching nozzle but on corexy that means z goes up to get to 0, whereas most machines z would go down to get to 0. The only real implication is that some host control programs like Pronterface have up and down arrows, you have to use the opposite direction to what seems logical on corexy (with bed moving in z rather than moving gantry), the web interface and paneldue just use -z for nozzle closer to build plate, and =z for nozzle away.
Add the corexy config bit, put it at/near the start of your config.g

Happy to share a corexy config if it helps.

Thanks DjDemonD yes would be great I'm following the Hypercube except for the size which is a 40 x 40.
I am using two motors for Z and endstops are optical. Would be good to see how one that is working is like. -

M574 - I have both a mechanical endstop switch at the bottom of the printer (Z-max/high) and also a z probe. Active low i.e. NC switches.
Axis minima can be negative numbers if your axis is larger than your build plate (like most corexy), it will home y for example at -32, so G1 Y0 positions the nozzle at the front edge of the bed. You have to measure or trial and error derive this value.
Thermistors and heaters.
If you have thermocouples use M305 P0 T100000 R4700 B4300 H0 L0 format with B value being the published or calculate value to approximate the temperature curve for your thermistor. I have replaced some with PT100 so these use M305 P1 X201 R400 format.
My tool 1 definition is for a chamber temperature "dummy" tool, its just a way to get this temp to be displayed in DWC/paneldue. You can also define virtual heater channels but these only display in the "+extra" section of DWC. -
Thanks so much DjDemonD. Will finish attaching the endstops and a coule of other things then will give it a try.
