@nightowl999 said in I'm not saying it's not my fault...:
so I’d be interested to see how you’ve done it.
Here is a stripped down version of one of my homing routines.
If the endstop is triggered at the start of the move I first backoff a bit to see if it clears.
Most of the time this won't cause any problems unless the endstop was stuck on and there was no room to backoff because of the current axis position.
If that is of concern to you, simply remove the code the does the check and the backoff.
You will notice the code at the end that talks about moving to the centerline. That is because my endstops rarely are at the exact min or max position of the axis. A G1 H1 move sets the logical axis position to the axis min or max setting (depending on where the endstop is located) but that doesn't mean the axis is actually at the position. Since I always configure my printers to have X=0 Y=0 at the center of the bed, by testing I determine how far I have to move the axis, after the G1 H1 moves complete, to reach the centerline. Once I know that number it goes into the homing code followed by the G92 which then sets the logical position to 0.
