Having issues with homing Z on CoreXY
-
Hello all,
After a being away from the hobby for some time I now have the opportunity again to fiddle with a custom CoreXY I started designing a while back. The machine is now built and wired and I started setting up the firmware but ran into some issues, mainly with homing the Z axis.The machine is a custom CoreXY on v-wheels for X and Y and triple leadscrew with rods with printed bushings for Z. I'm running a Titan direct extruder and piezo for Z endstop and Z compensaiton. The firmware is updated to 2.03 from 1.21.
The problem I run into is an unusual behavior during the Z homing procedure (which comes after X and Y in the homeall.g). The printer homes Z which moves the bed to a negative value where the piezo triggers and moves the bed to Z10 although the gcode that I have setup is supposed to move the bed to Z5.
The issue is rather perplexing and I can certainly video it but I suspect that the more experienced of you will spot a mistake in the gcode that I simply cant find with my limited time on RRF, hence I'm asking for some help.
Here I will put my config.g and homeall.g:

Your dive height is 10mm, so it moves to that height in preparation for a probe.

My mistake, the printer moves Z to 15, not 10 (I suppose it was a bit late). In anycase, you were right about where this is coming from. I commented out "G1 Z5 F420 ; lift Z relative to current position" in ;Home Z to isolate the effect of dive and played around with different values and the movement of the bed corresponds to that. I'm not sure I'm understanding the way this works, though. Isn't moving to the dive height something should happen when probing is commanded and not after homing all axes?

@equanimity8 You're using the probe to home Z.
-
Yeah, so true when I think about it. Not really used up to a setup like this. Thank you @Stephen6309 for your time and for spelling it out for me.
