      This shows the two wires forthe micro switches for X and Y
      The other side is the BLTouch.

        @darylprice said in My 6HC seems to think I have a CAN connected which I do not:

        If I let the machine run for 30 minutes, just setting the CAN errors raise to over 30 million.

        You're still getting CAN errors with the new config.g?

        Can you share your homing files? homex.g homey.g homez.g homeall.g

        How are you testing the endstops?

          As dc42 already mentioned the can errors are not significant because you do not have any can devices.

              I have been just moving the x axis and pushing the switch manually so if it failed it would not cause any damage

                @darylprice from your image it looks like the following:

                IO3: connections in 5V, out,gnd, in
                IO6: io6.in and GND
                IO8: io8.in and GND

                From config.g

                M574 X2 P"io8.in" S1 ; configure X axis endstop
                M574 Y2 P"io6.in" S1 ; configure Y axis endstop

                Which on first inspection looks correct.

                You can check if the endstops trigger sending M119 when they are triggered and untriggered. E.g, here is an example with the Y endstop:

                  I get the samething. When I press Y endstop I get Y: at max stop, same with X.
                  I will return 1100am PST US

                    With the Y axis centered so a 200 mm move will not make it travel to far
                    try entering the following in the console, what happens:

                    G91
                    G1 H1 Y200
                    G90
                    

                    During the G1 move try pressing Y endstop immediately and see if it stops. Does the axis move in the correct direction as well? if it does then try the full homing move:

                    G28 Y
                    

                    and report exactly what happens.

                    It may help to work though the documentation here and further:

                        I'll just add that it appears you're using the wrong connectors for the board, could be creating some connection issues.

                            I am now having issues trying to get the BLTouch functioning.
                            When I start the system up the probe kicks out twice and the LED stays on.

                              @darylprice That's normal for a BLTouch. It's in error state if it starts blinking.

                                  I see what you are saying. Is there any test codes I can use so it does not jamb into my base plate. Currently if I try a G30 it just says it is already triggered

                                      @darylprice You can send M401 and check if the pin drops out, it should be pulled back in when you send M402. Once you push the pin in, the Z probe reading should go to 1000, if it doesn't, you probably have a wrong input port selected or a wiring issue.

                                          @darylprice Also your servo pin is inverted (see the ! before the port name in M950 S0 C"!io4.out" ; create servo #0 for BLtouch). That shouldn't be there.

                                            Yes I have, I am trying to understand it all. I am using an original BLTouch version 3.1.
