After Homing will not manual Move away from endstop

[rodneysramosj]

thanks for all the help on the last post, however... we are running into an issue after successfully homing in which we cannot manually move away from the end stop only towards it. I will attach the home and config files we are currently using. thanks in advance. config.g homeall.g homex.g homey.g homez.g

In the future please post things like your *.G files using the </> tag.

Posting links means we each have to download your files to look at them.

Having posted your files and looked at them I will suggest your homing code is needlessly complicated.

Three simple G1 moves (G1 H1, G1, G1 H1) should work just fine.

What is your reasoning for the complicated code you have created?

Thanks.

@rodneysramosj said in After Homing will not manual Move away from endstop:

we cannot manually move away from the end stop only towards it

It sounds like your end stops and/or your axis directions may be misconfigured. I'm guessing it's hitting the endstop and it's thinking it's at the min, when it's actually at the max, or vice versa.

1. Decide where you want X0 Y0 to be. Popular choices are the front left corner of the bed, or the centre of the bed.
2. Decide which direction you want to be positive X and which direction should be positive Y. Usually positive X is to the right and positive Y is away from you. Other directions are possible but be sure to choose a right hand coordinate system. Keep it simple -X should move left, +X should move right, -Y should move to the nozzle to the front of the bed, +Y to the back.
3. Adjust the motor directions in config.g to get positive X and Y movements in the desired direction.
4. Establish whether your endstop switches are high end (at axis maximum) or low end (at axis minimum) and configure the endstops accordingly in the M574 commands in config.g.
5. Now in your homing files the homing moves should move towards the endstop.

I see you already have a thread started here. Please keep it limited to one thread per issue.
