RepRap firmware 3.4.2rc1

I would suggest updating your firmware to 3.4.5.

I'm not sure about magnet too strong. Can you show a photo of your assembly? Is the magnet closer than it should be?

@droftarts panel due now works perfectly
Thanks for the help.

@900turbo Yes, that should be fine, you just need to change your homing files to use the Z probe rather than the endstops.

NOTE: I spotted an error in your config.g or homing file, see your other thread to fix motor direction and/or endstop position first. https://forum.duet3d.com/post/314077

Assuming the X and Y endstop position is correct, and using your current homeall.g from your other thread, change it to the following:

; homeall.g ; called to home all axes ; ; generated by RepRapFirmware Configuration Tool v3.3.16 on Mon Apr 17 2023 13:03:57 GMT+0100 (British Summer Time) G91 ; relative positioning G1 H2 Z5 F6000 ; lift Z relative to current position G1 H1 X-705 Y705 F1800 ; move quickly to X or Y endstop and stop there (first pass) G1 H1 X-705 ; home X axis G1 H1 Y705 ; home Y axis G1 X5 Y-5 F6000 ; go back a few mm G1 H1 X-705 F360 ; move slowly to X axis endstop once more (second pass) G1 H1 Y705 ; then move slowly to Y axis endstop G90 ; absolute positioning G1 X350 Y350 F6000 ; go to bed center G30 ; home Z by probing the bed

If this leaves the nozzle on the bed after probing (probably not if using a BLTouch), you can add the following after to lift it:

G91 ; relative positioning G1 Z5 F100 ; lift Z relative to current position G90 ; absolute positioning

@900turbo I just noticed in your config.g that your X and Y axis endstops are set as minimum end endstops, but your homing moves move the Y axis to the maximum end:
config.g endstops:

; Endstops M574 X1 S1 P"121.io2.in" ; configure switch-type (e.g. microswitch) endstop for low end on X via pin 121.io2.in M574 Y1 S1 P"io0.in" ; configure switch-type (e.g. microswitch) endstop for high end on Y via pin io0.in

In the above, M574 X1 and Y1 define the endstop as being at the low end, ie where the axis is 0.

homeall.g Y axis homing moves:

G1 H2 Z5 F6000 ; lift Z relative to current position G1 H1 X-705 Y705 F1800 ; move quickly to X or Y endstop and stop there (first pass) G1 H1 X-705 ; home X axis G1 H1 Y705 ; home Y axis G1 X5 Y-5 F6000 ; go back a few mm G1 H1 X-705 F360 ; move slowly to X axis endstop once more (second pass) G1 H1 Y705 ; then move slowly to Y axis endstop

In the above, the X axis moves towards the low end with X-705, but the Y moves towards the high end, with Y705. Your Y endstop should be at the high end, eg M574 Y1 S1 P"io0.in".

Which is correct? Check that the motors move in the correct direction first. Which is the correct direction for motor movement? RepRapFirmware expects the axes to move using a right-handed coordinate system, because that's what CAD and slicing software uses. Looking from the front of the machine, +X to the right, - X to the left, +Y to the back, -Y to the front. This puts 0,0 where the nozzle/tool is over the the front left corner of the bed. This can be rotated 180°, so that 0,0 is at the back right corner, but it should not be at the back left or front right. If it is, change motor directions, and then set where the endstop is.

Getting the direction correct for a CoreXY is slightly more complicated, because it may mean swapping the motor connections. However, there is a guide for that here: https://docs.duet3d.com/User_manual/Machine_configuration/Configuration_coreXY#testing-motor-movement

@deckingman I swapped the bed out and nothing happened , started going over every single bit of wiring I will keep it short but basically there's a emergency stop switch on the case and one of the wires was not on all that well. Reconnected it then tried to heat the bed and it heated straight up. I still cannot move my any of my axis but the steppers LEDs now come on so i assume Its just an issue with my g code.
Major relief anyway as I thought there was a far more serious issue with a broken SSR or Relays.

@droftarts Thank You

@900turbo In the configuration tool, use the "QWG-104F-3950 (QU-BD silicone bed)" option. That gives the correct values.

@900turbo yep

@900turbo as @jay_s_uk says, power it directly from the PSU. It can run on a different PSU from the one powering the 6HC, and at a different voltage if necessary. If you do this, there should be a common ground for both PSUs.

Don’t use OUT0; on the 6HC it is turned off by default at startup, and you need the toolboard to be powered at startup to make contact with the mainboard.
