Solved 1HCL probing problem with ***video***
-
@highfreq said in 1HCL probing problem with ***video***:
In open loop it works it seems but between first and second touch it emits a beeping sound, maybe it would go back like in closed loop but being in open it skips steps and looks like it works?
I was thinking about this problem just now and came to the same conclusion myself, before I read your post. I was about to ask you whether there was an odd noise after the probe triggers when in open loop mode.
I will review the main board code tomorrow afternoon to work out what might be happening.
-
@dc42 great thanks.
If you need us to make any test just ask, we will be glad to help.

-
@HighFreq please can yo test whether the following works around the problem:
In your M584 command add a 5th Z motor assigned to a spare driver on the main board. I suggest you set the timing for that driver to T0:0:0:0 in a M569 command for that driver. You don't actually need to connect anything to that driver output.
-
@dc42 hello good morning.
Now the probing works, it doesn't jump anymore but endstops on the 4 phisical axis do not work anymore, probably because the fake axis configuration is not complete. If i remove the fake axis homing works as expected.
Our machine does z homing on top of the machine with 4 endstop switches.
-
@dc42 are you still going to get a look at it this afternoon?
-
@highfreq thanks for confirming that the work around fixed the problem. It gives an indication of what will need to be fixed in firmware so the work around is not needed.
-
@t3p3tony Just to make sure you understood, the workaround fixed a problem but created another so it is not usable, we are waiting for a firmware fix to be able to use the machine again.
Sometimes my english is not the best -
@highfreq could you switch from using endstops to using the probe to home Z?
-
@jay_s_uk no, we can't, our z axis is made of 4 screw phisical axis so we need to home all of them individually. At least that is how the machine is designed to work so we would much prefer to use it that way.
-
@highfreq why? homez using the probe and then use the built in bed levelling to get them positioned correctly.
My voron has 4 z motors but none of them have endstops... -
@jay_s_uk at least at the moment it is not possible, 1HCL has a little bug and sometimes one of the axis drops during power on, so it would not be possible do as you describe.
-
@highfreq one of mine always drops. i don't see why it wouldn't work unless your bed is so overly constrained that it can't move when one motor is out of sync with the others
-
@jay_s_uk we would prefer to have the bug solved and we want the machine to be able to home on the end stops because we need it in our layout.
-
@highfreq sorry, i just thought you wanted to get to a position of using the machine until the bug was fixed. i won't bother next time
-
@jay_s_uk thank you for your help, we hope it won't get too long until it gets fixed.

please share an updated config.g and the homing files so we can see how the 4 real axis and this 5th z motor interact.

@highfreq thanks for confirming the workaround. That tells me what is going wrong. Now I need to work out why it goes wrong on your system but not on my bench setup.
-
@dc42 not meaning to push you but do you have any idea how long it'll take to have a fix?
Maybe multiple motors on z axis or big motors are more exposed to this problem?
