I could use some help

@mac said in I could use some help:

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

Change to?

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.

@fcwilt What should the P for the Z be?

I don't know. You said at one point you had a Z endstop. You must have connected it to some input pin.

Is it still connected to that same pin?

You did what?

@fcwilt I got the code to appear like you did, with the black background.

@droftarts I also saw the Save button in the X 0:/sys/config.g ? G-Code Reference (disk image) Save

You are making good progress!

Now with the endstops configured what we believe to be correct you can check their operation using the Object Model Browser.

You did get that up and running didn't you? I think I recall you did.

Or you can execute M119 from the DWC console and it will display the state of the endstops.

To verify their operation you have to find a way to hold them closed so you can execute the M119 and see what is reported.

And, of course, you want to execute M119 when they are not closed to see what is reported.

@fcwilt The Z Endstop is plugged into io_2 (right above i0_3, which is the BLTouch). The green wire is attached to GND (middle hole), and the white wire is attached to io2. in.

@fcwilt I have to go feed my daughter's horse. Back in twenty.

Then the command should be:

M574 Z1 S1 P"!io2.in" but using the ! character assumes you have connected the white wire to the NC connection on the endstop switch.

If you HAVE NOT connected the wire to the NC connection of the endstop switch DO NO include the ! character.

And then we need to us M119 to verify the operation of each endstop switch to be sure they are working and generating the correct states for closed and open.

@fcwilt The WHITE WIRE is connected to the NO.

@droftarts I LOVE doing that!

OK now that we think the M574 commands are all correct you need to verify the endstop switches are all working.

So switch to the DWC Console and type in M119 and press the enter key.

Please post back what you see displayed as a result of the M119.
