      Hey guys,
      got my shiny new duet wifi board and fitted it to my printer, everything has been going well. heaters work, bed works. steppers jog, bltouch works etc etc X and Y both home correctly and bump the endstops nicely, but, i cant home Z or Home All. If i send G92 Z100 and then send G30 the Z axis moves down and probes the bed and sets the correct offset as per the config. i just cant get the G28 commands to work.
      Details: CoreXZ, BlTouch, v1.20 firmware, ATX ps_on

      Error messages: G28 Z "Must home these axes: Z before homing these: Z"

      G28 "Push(): stack overflow"
      "homing failed"

      Being a Duet Newbie ive probably got something out order or missing, been running Marlin for last 3 years decided its time to get with the times. Im in love with the duet ecosystem, such a pleasure to use! Quality of the Duet board is excellent. leaps and bounds coming from a ramps setup.

      Heres my setup:

        That's a confusing error message! What I think it means is that trying to home Z didn't work. I'll see if I can reproduce it.

        Are you using firmware 1.21RC3 by any chance? If so then your G1 Z5 command in homez.g must be changed to G1 S2 Z5.

        Please post your homeall.g file too.

          i had a laugh when it popped up lol

          version: v1.20

          Homeall.g

          G28 X Y
          M98 PHomez.g
          
          

          i just changed my homeall.g to the above code, it homes x and y then moves to middle of bed then says : G30 insufficient axes homed

            if i change my homez.g to this:

            G1 Z4 F1800       ; go back a few mm
            G30
            G1 Z4 F1000       ; lift Z relative to current position
            
            

            i can get it to work for G28, but errors still popup saying homing failed, button turns blue on Web interface though. still fails on G28 Z

              Homeall.g should not have a G28 in it; but you can call the homex.g and homey.g files like this if you wish:

              M98 Phomex.g
              M98 Phomey.g

              I expect the recursive nature of G28 on your machine accounts for the confusing error message too. It certainly accounts for the stack overflow!

                yep no worries, oversight by me, so ive changed that. homeall overflow error is gone, so now

                homeall works if i include G92 Z270 before G30

                home z gives same error regardless, home z first before z

                not a CoreXZ issue hopefully

                  When you get the error message, are you trying to home Z when X and Y have already been homed, or when X and Y are not homed?

                    X and Y are already homed

                      I'm sorry, I have only just realised that you are using a CoreXZ architecture. I think you may be the first to use CoreXZ on a Duet!

                      The current code assumes that on a CoreXZ machine, a Z endstop switch is used, because it requires all of X, Y and Z axes to be homed before bed probing. But I can't think of a good reason for that, so in firmware 1.21RC4 I'll change it to requires only X and Y to be homed before bed probing (as for most other architectures). Meanwhile I suggest you use the G92 workaround.
