Thank You!

I wasn't sure... Then I can check that off the list and figure out what else it must be.

@gumby I'm glad you resolved it. It looks like your machine was skipping steps. You might like to check what maximum speeds you can expect before motor torque starts to drop, using the calculator at https://www.reprapfirmware.org/emf.html.

Your M566 XYZ jerk settings were particularly high (3000). Values of 600 to 900 are usual. They only need to be high enough for curves to print smoothly.

Thank you everyone,

I will look into all of that info.

@gumby

Just to finalize the topic, I wanted to post that mixing pins from available headers worked like a charm.

PanelDue working now.

Thanks again to this community.

Let's continue in your other thread. this one is about being flagged as spam afterall.

@gumby

Just a quick note, I stumbled on the "pson" reference on IO4. I have not heard of this before so I dug around and found I can do exactly what I am trying to do by enabling the pson in the config file and now I have an on/off switch that is in the web interface. I can also control it via. M80 and M81 .

I am not declaring it a total victory yet, because I don't know if that snafus up something else in the process. But so far so good. Now I just have to figure out a way to incorporate it into my pre and post in my slicer when the time comes. I also want to make sure I have it working during filament changes/ hotend temps, etc.

Just thought it may help someone else as well.

@dc42

Thanks again for the assist.

I found out what my issue was... The flags I put in for the endstops were about 1/64 of an inch from blocking the light. I needed a small spacer to place them slightly further out.

It's all working now and homing... on to more tasks.
