@mac said in I could use some help:
@droftarts I've been saving and rebooting after each change (after the last few changes, but not the first two).
I see the problem with the M574 for the Z endstop.
The command has an S2 when it should be S1.
Edit and re-boot, then execute M119 again.
We are close to getting homing working.

@fcwilt I'm still considering your M92 edit (moving it to ABOVE the M350 line). Can I simply copy and paste? Will the form renumber itself?

Yes, you can cut-and-paste a line of code with no problems.

Great!
Now execute the M119 again and let us know what is reports.

@droftarts new M119: X not stopped, Y not stopped, Z at min stop, Z probe not stopped

@droftarts the print head's six inches off the bed

Great!
Notice that it says Z at min stop - was the Z endstop switch actually closed when you ran the M119?

I just asked a related question about the Z endstop switch.
Now you need to find a way to execute the M119 while both the X and Y endstop switches are closed - maybe with a bit of tape or a rubber band?

@fcwilt the only thing that would close the z endstop is if the X axis came down and closed it.

@fcwilt wait, fcwilt? not droftarts? jeeze you guys are ganging up on me!

OK that's good to know.
If the white wire is actually connected to the NO connection of the Z endstop switch it should not be indicating Z at min stop.
Find a way to close the Z endstop switch and execute M119.
I want to see if it still reports Z at min stop or if it reports something different.

@droftarts @fcwilt if we're going to work on this together, I need to know you two are in agreement before I do anything.
Do you both agree that I should tape X and Y closed? Then M119 again?

No - it just gets confusing when posts overlap in time.
I'm typing, your typing, droftarts is typing - and things get a bit out of order - time wise.

Mac! You've cut me to the quick! Have you no faith in me!
I've only been doing this stuff for years.

@fcwilt @droftarts I closed the z-endstop with my left finger, and hit M110 Send with my right finger. M119 reported Z: at end stop, Z probe: not stopped.
I'm not making this up, guys.

@fcwilt @droftarts I'm just trying to be respectful to Ian and you.

@mac I’m not able to reply promptly now, I’m away from my computer. @fcwilt knows what he’s doing, though please keep it simple, Frederick!
