6HC + 1XD with Clearpath Servos
-
Greetings,
Past few days I've been attempting to install my Clearpath servos on my coreXY machine (railcore), which uses a Duet3 6HC and 2x 1XD's for step/direction. I've tried all the suggestions I could find in threads here, but still just getting odd behavior.
Config wise, I moved the XD's to 40 and 41:M569 P40.0 S1 T3:3:3:3 M569 P41.0 S0 T3:3:3:3 M92 X80 Y80 Z1600 E837 I have the servo's themselves set to 3200 pulses / rev
So now if I turn the printer on, issue
G92 X0 Y0, and then G1 X1 or X10 I get about the given correct steps, at least close enough for rough testing now. So I then attempt to issue a home, doesn't matter if it hits the X or Y end stop, it touches the endstop and then races the end and crashes it into the right side of the printer.My homeY for example:
G91 G1 Z4 F200 H2 G1 Y-350 F3000 H1 G1 Y4 F600 G1 Y-10 H1 G1 Z-4 F200 H2 G90 So I'm a bit at a loss here, because there are zero X movements in my home Y.
Any ideas?
TIA! -

AFAIR a CoreXY needs a different homing file, where both motors need to be addressed together: G28 XY, then G28 ZExample from the Wiki:
G91 ; relative mode G1 H1 X-240 Y-240 F3000 ; coarse home X or Y G1 H1 X-240 ; coarse home X G1 H1 Y-240 ; coarse home Y G1 X4 Y4 F600 ; move away from the endstops G1 H1 X-10 ; fine home X G1 H1 Y-10 ; fine home Y ; Z homing section follows ... -
@o_lampe hmmm. I am homing first X then Y on my corexy...
-
@pcr both in seperated homeing files

@pcr
So you use G1 ... H2 mode in your homing files? That's another option, but not mentioned in the Wiki yet. -
@ric0_md please publish your complete config file. In particular, we need to see how you have configured the machine limits and the endstop switches.

You don't have to do both XY together. If you look at the example you posted, you'll see that X and Y do get homed individually after the first move. The initial G1 XY move simply moves in both axes simultaneously until one or other end stop triggers, which can save a few seconds - that's the only reason for it. As well as homeall, we still have homex and homey to home individual axes. Of course, the firmware has to control both the alpha and beta motors because with a CoreXY , technically, there is no X and Y motor but we don't have to worry about that with our homing files.

@dc42 with my config any ideas? As far as I've been able to google around seems like the config most are using, but I don't rule out I've done something silly either.
Thanks!
