@fcwilt said in I could use some help:

But the homing moves were supposed to be:

a minus move
a plus move
a minus move

Based on the jogging test it should have moved:

toward the front
toward the back
toward the front

Since it's a bed-slinger in Y, isn't a PLUS move going to move the bed towards the FRONT? (Move the head towards the +y part of the bed.)

I may be confused.

Correct (about the move, not about being confused).

But according to mac a minus jogging move was moving the beds towards the front. I can only go by what he posts.

@fcwilt Y homes like it should. None of the + moves work. When I -10 it moves FORWARDS.

I understand about the jogging move.

And since it is wrong you need to change normal to reverse or vice-versa in the M569 for the Y stepper.

That should get jogging going in the right direction.

IF it does try homing Y

Well the warning about driver 0.0 would explain the noise and lack of proper movement.

I don't get it, mac.

I give you code to try and you end up with something rather different.

I really do know what I am doing.

[A Former User]

@fcwilt I don't know how that happened, honestly. I absolutely don't remember seeing that in your code, or copying anything that looks like into my code.

Frankenstein's Cinderella, that's all I can suggest.

This extraordinarily long thread has the code you suggested in it. It was the first code you provided to me. I know where it is. So I will go and get it, and put it in the homez.g again.

Now we will see what happens.

You been drinking?

Anyway, have you changed the rotation of the Y stepper so the jogging operations move it in the right direction?

I'm still anxious to verify that the S setting is the problem there.

It's more likely just a bad connection.

Did you get a chance to change the rotation of the Y axis and then test jogging?
