@dc42 Sometimes. But let's say I manage to home Y, if I then move Y and then tried to home it again it will most likley not work as planned.
Do you mean that it sometimes ignores the triggering of the Y endstop switch? Are you certain that you have the X and Y endstop switches connected to the right connectors?
Please post your homey.g file.
-
@dc42 Yes, but I dont have the endstops for Z and U connected yet so I can't do the homeall.g.
This is the homey.g
G91 ; relative positioning
G1 Z5 F6000 S2 ; lift Z relative to current position
G1 S1 Y555 F1800 ; move quickly to Y axis endstop and stop there (first pass)
G1 Y-10 F1000 ; go back a few mm
G1 S1 Y555 F360 ; move slowly to Y axis endstop once more (second pass)
G1 Z-5 F6000 S2 ; lower Z again
G90 ; absolute positioning -
So i've added the endstop to my U axis, and added a homeu.g folder (not sure if I supose to?)
But I can't home U... I have U motor and endstop connected to the duex2. -
Yes you do need a homeu.g file. The U endstop switch must be connected to the E0 endstop input.
-
@dc42 Ok!
But when I try to home U nothing happends, only Z goes down 5mm and nothing more. -
Have you tested the au endstop? https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Connecting_endstop_switches#Section_Test_endstop_switches
-
@haggan90 Got this fixed now, now homing of U works
But everything is still very buggy.. is there something wrong with my homey.g ? -
"everything is still very buggy" doesn't give me much to go on. Please provide more detail of the fault(s). A video may help. Remember, I don't have a machine with those kinematics to test this on, the best I can do is to configure a Cartesian machine in the same way as yours and try to work out whether the motor movements are correct.
-
@dc42 yeah I know, I'm sorry.
I very much appriciate all the help you have given me
I will try and do some troubleshooting myself first and if I don't manage to fix it I will post a video!All in all the movements seems to work great!
One thing, do I need to home every axis the same way? In my case now, the Y homes in +555 and X/U homes in -555? Should I maybe move the endstop for Y to the other side?
-

No, you should be able to use those endstop locations just as they are.
I think there may be a problem with the current firmware if you try to home several axes concurrently. What should happen is that if you home two or more of X, Y and U concurrently, the homing move should stop when the first endstop switch is hit. Then you need to finish by homing the axes individually. But I suspect that if you home X and Y together, if the X switch is triggered first then the homing move will not stop.
-
@dc42 Usually the homing of U and X works good, but when i home Y it just stops when it hits the endstop and then I need to restart the board. I havent tried to home any axes at the same time, only individually.
Simetimes when I try to home X the U axis also moves and plunges in to the endstop...
-
Please share your config.g and homing files, then I'll try to replicate those issues.

@dc42 I've manage to get the homeall.g to work now byt homing Y first, then X and then U (all independently).
But I have encountered another problem.
When I try to run G29 both the X and U tries to move, when I only want X and Y to move.
U just crashes into the endstop.config.g looks like this

Can you tell me which sequence didn't work? I still want to sort it out. You should be able to home the axes in any order, even simultaneously to begin with.
But I have encountered another problem.
When I try to run G29 both the X and U tries to move, when I only want X and Y to move.
U just crashes into the endstop.Do normal X, Y and XY moves work correctly? In particular, Y and XY moves should turn the U motor so that the U axis doesn't move. The only time that commands shouldn't move just the axes you mention is when you send G1 S2 moves, because they are individual motor moves.
Also, if you send a G30 probing move such as G30 P0 X100 Y100, does it just move X and Y to 100, or does U move too?
-
For some reason I can't home all again... now when Y tries to home first both X and U moves towards their endstop (at a much lower speed then Y). This is my homeall.g

G90 ; absolute positioningIf I just toggle Y/X/U every axis works perfect, when I move Y for example both U and X are perfectly still in x/u axis.
And when I move only X/U the Y axis is perfectly still.Nothing hapends at all if I send G30 P0 X100 Y100, but If I only send G30 (after all axis has been homed) everything just seems to screw up.. I will film it and post a video link soon!

Sometimes It seems to work with the home all, if I just do it as soon as I start the printer. But if I have moved any axis before, this happends: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hShrS0JAh68
And this is what happends if I first manually home all axis and the use G29 (mesh grid): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vcpx7KPqJXw

@dc42
I just tried to disconnect the U stepper and same things happends, all code as well.
I'm really out of ideas now, do you have any sugestions?
