I could use some help

@mac From the video, it looks like you haven't changed your steps per mm (you need to halve them if you go from x32 to x16), and at the least your Z motor is going the wrong way.

Did you test your X and Y endstops with M119?

@mac Try

M92 X40.00 Y40.00 Z2000.00 E420.00

@droftarts ahhhhh, where do I half the steps?

[A Former User]

@droftarts you're saying type that in to the command line in DWC, and send it, correct?

[fcwilt]

@mac

I recall from the video that the endstops for X and Y were at the low (min) end of the axis.

IF that is true you need to change your M574 commands to use X1 and Y1.

And your M574 for the Z axis is incomplete - it has no P parameter.

Yes. And if it works, add it to config.g, and then set it like that in the configuration tool so it outputs correctly next time.

@droftarts okay, I did that first command (M92 etc. that you suggested).

I feel like I'm on thin ice here. Obviously, I'm more comfortable with using RRF to make these changes?

But maybe that's the problem?

I'm having a hard time going forwards at this point.

@droftarts "add it to config.g" means what, exactly?

[fcwilt]

@mac said in I could use some help:

You already have an M92 and an M574 in your config.g file.

Just edit the file via the DWC and enter the new values for those commands - if those values have changed.

And read what I posted about the relationship of M92 and M574.

@fcwilt on RRF Config Tool, Endstop Configuration, X-Switch-High end, Y-Switch-High end, Z-Z-probe-Low end.

Change to?

But maybe that's part of the problem?

I do think that relying on the configuration tool keeps you from learning and understanding all that is going in the various files.

@droftarts "add it to config.g" means what, exactly?

It means edit it in DWC, by going to System, then clicking config.g, then edit and save. That changes it on the machine. You need to reset the board (turn power on and off) to get it to read config.g again at start up, which it will ask you when you save.

Sending the command directly, in the 'Gcode console', will execute the command and change the setting immediately, but will be overridden by the contents of config.g the next time you turn off and turn on the printer.

@fcwilt indeed.

[A Former User]

@droftarts I actually understand what you just wrote. Thanks!

Sorry, I don't use that tool.

You posted part of your config.g file showing M574 X2 S1 and M574 Y2 S1.

If your endstops are, in fact, at the low (min) end of the X and Y axes, X2 needs to be X1 and Y2 needs to be Y1.

Just edit your config.g file in the DWC editor. No need to use the config tool for such simple changes.

@droftarts I typed that into the command line, and sent it (somewhere). What should I have done after that?

[A Former User]

@mac M92 X40.00 Y40.00 Z2000.00 E420.00

[A Former User]

@droftarts and to confirm if that M92 command worked, I need to Home X again, correct?

[A Former User]

@droftarts The M92 command lowered then raised the X-axis. The printhead shimmied side to side, but that's it.
