homing is not working correctlly after update Delta

eddygara

Just updated everything to the latest release my issue at the moment, is when ever the printer is homed. The arms are moved about 100mm down wards, and the printer assumes that's where the homed origin is. Im not sure what went on during this upgrade. I came from firmware 1.92 and had no issues before. I fixed a minor issue with my homing switches not working. But this is getting to be a headache. Can some one maybe help me source where my code might be off?

Heres something strange i noticed trying to debug this.

My homed heights are all over the place, even though the arms are all homed at the same psychical location.

@eddygara said in homing is not working correctlly after update Delta:

Just updated everything to the latest release my issue at the moment, is when ever the printer is homed. The arms are moved about 100mm down wards, and the printer assumes that's where the homed origin is.

Do you mean that it does that instead of moving the carriages up to the endstop switches, or after moving the carriages up to the endstop switches?

eddygara

@dc42 After i home the printer. instead of moving too its start position, (usually 5mm below the endstops). The printer moves about 100mm down and then set that position as its resting home position. with the values
you see above in the photo, though they vary.

Thanks for the help the issue was not having M564 H0 in my config file. Your "list of changes" page only describes this issue with Cartesian printers. Not delta's, so i was bit confused. I know you have a ton on your plate so again thanks for everything you do!

For anyone reading this, i have a delta with motors on the top of the printer. I had to change all my stepper motors too the opposite setting to get them to work again.

example

M569 P0 S1 ; Drive 0 (X) goes forwards
M569 P1 S1 ; Drive 1 (Y) goes forwards
M569 P2 S1 ; Drive 2 (Z) goes forwards
M569 P3 S0 ; Drive 3 (E0) goes forwards

Had to change is to

M569 P0 S0 ; Drive 0 (X) goes forwards
M569 P1 S0 ; Drive 1 (Y) goes forwards
M569 P2 S0 ; Drive 2 (Z) goes forwards
M569 P3 S1 ; Drive 3 (E0) goes forwards

and then add

M564 H0 at the end of my Config file in order to get my printer to home correctly. Also if you have code written for a probe that has to be deployed, but you are not using one on your printer. Remove it, it messes with the printers movement for some strange reason.

On a delta printer, normal G0/G1 moves without S parameter are never allowed before homing, so M564 H0 doesn't apply except to any additional axes you create.

So what changed is this firm ware update that now renders my Printer to not home correctly. Or keep it's position?

After I add those 2 lines of code my Printer started to home correctly and and not move out of place. But after I reconfigure my Z=0 line. And home once again. The printer almost doubles it's homed height from whom to 720mm. Even though it only moved 360mm. What could be causing this?

You tell me what doesn't work etc. But not really giving any solutions. Sorry it's just frustrating because this is holding up the work of 3 printers.

dc42

You said you came from firmware 1.92, but that version does not exist. Did you mean 1.19.2?

The M569 changes you say you had to make can't be anything to do with firmware, because there have been no changes to the directions of motor movements since about version 1.09. My guess is that you disconnected the motors, and when you reconnected them you plugged them in with the connectors the opposite way round.

The only explanation I can think of for your printer doubling its homed height is if you are loading a height map before homing, and that height map has a large offset in it.
