Homing of U axis does not work

Elko

Hi,

I am at a loss right now. The command

G1 400 F6000 H1

in homeu.g does not trigger the motor to drive the U axis. However,

G1 400 F6000 H2

does drive the axis, but does not trigger the end stop.

For reference, here's the relevant config section:

; Drives
M569 P0 S1                                      ; physical drive 0 X 
M569 P1 S0                                      ; physical drive 1 Y

M208 X330 Y305 Z330 U395 S0                             ; set axis maxima

; Endstops
M574 X1 S1 P"xstop"                                ; configure active-high endstop for low end on X via pin xstop
M574 Y2 S1 P"ystop"                                ; configure active-high endstop for high end on Y via pin ystop
M574 Z1 S1 P"!zstop"                                ; configure active-high endstop for low end on Z via pin zstop
M574 U2 S1 P"e0stop"

The driver is connected to the add-on board DUEX5.

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

my only idea to check is whether after the "e0stop" is a new line. Maybe the line ends without a return, making the line invalid.

Elko

Thanks for the answer, but that shouldn't be the case. That's just part of the config and there definitely is a linefeed there. The endstop itself works (the LED on the board lights up). The issue is that with the first command (G1 400 F6000 H1) the motor doesn't actually drive anything, but the panel displays the end position without the endstop actually being touched.

@Elko so maybe active low/high turned and endstop thinks it is triggered from the beginning? There was a similar thread in https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/13136/m574-usage-on-rrf-3 maybe you find a hint there. (but it is for RRF3. What is your firmware version?)

Looks like something is missing, probably should looks like G1 U400 F6000 H1

If it helps, here are the bits a pieces relevant to a U on a toolchanger that works:

config.g

; Axis to driver mapping
M584 X0 Y1 U2 Z3:4:5          ; X and Y for CoreXY.  U for toolchanger lock. Z has three drivers for kinematic bed suspension. 
M584 E1.0:1.1:22.0            ; Extruders for three tools. First two on 3HC 1, third one on Tool Board 22

M350 U4 I1                        ; Set 4x for toolchanger lock. Use interpolation.
M906 U1100 I40                          ; Motor currents (mA) and Idle percentage
M574 U1 S1 P"io3.in"                      ; Set homing switch configuration U1 = low-end, S1 = active-high (NC)
M208 U0:180

homeu.g

; Home U Axis

G91                     ; Set relative mode
G1 U-360 F9000 H1        ; Big move to search for home endstop in the direction that would lock a tool. 
G1 U6 F600             ; Back off the endstop
G1 U-10 F600 H1          ; Find endstop again slowly
G90                     ; Set absolute mode

And, as mentioned, your homeu.g G1 command is missing the "U".

G1 400 F6000 H1         ; Yours now. 
G1 U400 F6000 H1      ; Should be like this.

Thank you for your help.
The limit switch was in the wrong PIN
Excuse me

@Elko Sounds familiar! Good you found the reason.
