M569 P2 S2 ; physical drive 2 goes backwards

S2 isn't valid. It's S0 or S1

you also don't have a servo defined so the BLTouch will never deploy

The BLTouch should be setup with M558 P9, and the position in reference to the nozzle of X and Y must be defined in G31 (otherwise the mesh compensation is at a wrong place later), please check both in
https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Connecting_a_Z_probe#Section_BLTouch
If you are in front of the printer, a positive X means the BLTouch is right to the nozzle, and a positive Y means it is behind the nozzle, values being mm.

Thank you all for the help!!!!!!!!!!! Finally getting it figured out some. Next issue is when homing x the y will hit end and just keep trying to move. same when home y the x will hit end and just keep trying to move. How do I cure it so when homing either the other will move relatively so not to crash?

Tinkerworksgarage

I am also in testing so not everything is mounted or mounted permanent like hotend or bltouch. That is
why I had no values as those will be entered later.

Would to this work to hold position for y as x moves to home. same would be done for x as y homes?

I don't quite understand why your Y axis would move when you command a move in the X axis.

Can you try entering G1 X moves one way and the other and verify that the Y axis does not move at all? It shouldn't.

G91               ; relative positioning
G1 X20 F1800
G1 X-20 F1800

Entering these should move ONLY the X-axis right 20mm and then left 20mm

Ok so tried this and y stays still as x homes but x hits endstop switch and keeps trying to move more.

Tinkerworksgarage

@alankilian
It will not let me as axis is not homed already.

Tinkerworksgarage

I don't get it. I had x working decent but y would still move some. Also had y moving decent but x would still move some. Even had Y staying still and was able to home x. then all of a sudden it all went haywire again. I even did M669 K1 to make sure was still in corexy mode. Back to moving and crashing

alankilian

@tinkerworksgarage

You can do M564 to allow movements without homing.

Please post your complete config.g

The one your posted earlier has your machine configured in Cartesian mode which would cause all these problems.

Ok here is complete config.g file with what I have setup right now. I believe it is setup for corexy but am not sure how to check to see. I also believe that this could be one of the main problems (possibly could be reverting back to cartesian on its own) If it is reverting back how do I get it to stay in corexy.

@tinkerworksgarage said in Programing issues:

I even did M669 K1 to make sure was still in corexy mode

That is not enough to insure that XY motions are correct.

Did you read the docs on how to get your steppers configured and wired correctly?

You must have Cartesian checked in the Reprap Configuration Tool.
Your config.g is NOT set for corexy. If it was it would have an M669 K1 near the top.

HERE is the document that tells you step-by-step how to configure it and get the motor-direction descriptions right. (Thanks @fcwilt)

Tinkerworksgarage

@alankilian
I had selected corexy when setting it up in reprap configurator. Thats why I think something keeps resetting back and not keeping changes.

alankilian

@tinkerworksgarage

something keeps resetting back and not keeping changes

That's not really something that happens.

Run the RRF configurator
Download the zip file
Unzip the zip file
Post the config.g from the unzipped folder

We'll then be able to see the Kinematic configuration

Upload the WHOLE ZIP file to your Duet and update it.
Power-cycle your printer
Download the config.g from your printer
Post that config.g

We'll THEN see if your printer updated appropriately.

Thank you all so much for all the help. It has been a long process for me as I am used to Marlin. I RRF Config tool again and double & triple checked everything. I then got a different sd card and reloaded firmware on new card. Things seem to be working now, not perfect but some setting and I should be good. If i have any more question or problems I will ask as you all have been a huge help.
Thank you all again
