UNABLE TO SETUP CONFIG.FILES

speloto

Dear all. Before the post, here a tried very hard to dot this by myself, but I confess my total ignorance about this new knowledge.

I am a novel 61-year-old just retired. I had been able to arm a 1500 mm x 1500 mm Chinese CNC frame with a Duet2 (firmware 3.3), 4 NEMA 23 (23HD56001Y-21B), 24 Volts 60 amps and 12 volts power sources. (12 v running initially an external fan to cool down the duet is working fine)
The original Plan was to go slow, step by step.
Then first step.
Just to learn basics, no fans, no hot bed, not bed probe etc. just CNC mode 3 axes. (2 engines on Y axe)
Mechanical movement is OK, I can Control well manually with Duet Control Panel via Wi-Fi (192.168.1.55) 
Installed 3 mechanical end stops.
I was happy doing fine then… I GOT STUCK WITH SOFTWARE, machine settings and files. Originally I used RepRap Configuration Tool but did the settings without real understanding of every point to set .
The problem:  
1.- Messed up folders and g codes
2.- Unable to home
3.- Trying to home I just got small adjustment in all axes and after that unable to move (homing do not even touching the stops)
4.- I change the g codes but I do not know if I need to change also the JSON files created by RepRap Config Tool. ( I do not know how to change a gcode file to json file)
5.- I also erase and redo the config files from various sources - bad idea- many times and start to understand ( reading a lot ) but I am not good enough yet ( that is why all my code had been mess-up)
 
I am sending you a copy from my settings. You will notice many commands that are not need it at this stage, I keep them for future settings but I do not know if they can interfiere with the actual working conditions.
Please be very basic in your answer, I will keep working to improve and understand the proper jargon.

I GOT DESPERATE BUT I AM NOT GOING TO QUIT !
Thanks a lot

@speloto
To make homing work, you have to have matching endstop configuration and homing files.
For example, your endstops are on the rear end of the frame and the endstop logic is inverted.
You can send M119 from the DWC console to check you endstop status. They should show "not stopped" before you try to home.
If they show something different, please post it here. Maybe you have to remove the "!" before "xstop" or add "^" to enable pullup resistors, that depends on your endstop-switches. (Y- and Z- axis the same)
Anyway, M119 helps you to test endstop-switches.
If they are OK, we have to check your homing files. Please post them here by using the </> button

@speloto FYI, the config.json file isn't actually used by the Duet at all. It can be uploaded to the config generator tool to repopulate all the settings you used when you created your config.g, homing files etc.
This is good for making quick changes when you first start, but if you make any manual edits to your config.g or homing files, these won't be reflected in the .json file, so will be removed/overwritten if you use it to make a fresh set.

DWC has an option to download a zipped folder. When setting up, I'd recommend downloading your /sys folder as a backup to your PC - that way you can refer to it if things start going weird

@o_lampe Thanks a lot I will try and let you know.

speloto

@engikeneer appreciate your short and clear explanation about json files. I was worried because editing config.g file I did not change the json file and was wondering if this is causing the problem. Looks like is not that! I will keep looking for posible mistakes.

@o_lampe IT WORKS! I been struggling for weeks I should ask you before. Thanks guys for the excellent job helping people. I just clear the "!" and I can home.
