This is with no homing, just moving each axis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kP_eEowGYOI

Haggan90 · 18 Jan 2019, 17:31

@dc42
I just tried to disconnect the U stepper and same things happends, all code as well.
I'm really out of ideas now, do you have any sugestions?

Haggan90 · 20 Jan 2019, 08:43

@dc42 I'm beginning to think that there might be some bug in the firmware with the matrix you made, as It works great when using the toggle to move each axis but as soon as I try to move any at the same time everything just gets messed up.

The movement in that video looks OK to me, assuming that the print heads moved in the directions you commanded.

What happens when you try to move axes simultaneously, e.g. to do diagonal moves?

Haggan90 · 20 Jan 2019, 10:09

@dc42 If I just send G1 Y50 X50 it seems to work as it should, but I can't home any axis after (like in the homall video)

Haggan90 · 21 Jan 2019, 18:13

@dc42 I just tried to change the M669 from K0 to K1 without any luck, same problems. On the plus side of this I'm starting to get a good hang of some gcode

Do you think there might be some bug in the firmware?

Quite possibly, and I already have it on my list to simulate your machine on my bench. I may have time to do this tomorrow.

Haggan90 · 21 Jan 2019, 18:44

@dc42 oh that's awsome! Let me know if I can do something to help

dc42 · 22 Jan 2019, 19:33

In your M584 command, you forgot to redefine the extruder drives. So your extruder settings are messing up your axis settings. Please fix that and try again.

EDIT: I corrected that, also I configured a U endstop switch. As far as i can tell, it is working. I'm using a slightly later version of the firmware, it's at https://www.dropbox.com/s/fyvibzm0zl92hiy/Duet2CombinedFirmware.bin?dl=0.

Haggan90 · 22 Jan 2019, 21:16

@dc42
I fixed the M584 to this: M584 X0 U6 Y1 Z2:5 E3:4
The homing seems to work as before, but the same thing happends if I try and run G29 (reffering to my last video).

I do have an endstop for U.

Haggan90 · 22 Jan 2019, 21:31

IF I change the homeall.g to this, the homeall doesen't work at all If either X or U endstop is hit before I start the homing. I need to home all axis by them self.

G91 ; relative positioning
G1 Z5 F6000 S2 ; lift Z relative to current position
G1 S1 Y-550 X-550 U-550 F2500 ; move quickly to Y axis endstops and stop there (first pass)
G1 Y5 X5 U5 F1000 ; go back a few mm
G1 S1 Y-550 X-550 U-550 F660 ; move slowly to Y axis endstops once more (second pass)

G90 ; absolute positioning
G1 X35 Y65 F6000 ; go to first bed probe point and home Z
G30 ; home Z by probing the bed

G91 ; relative positioning
G1 S2 Z5 F100 ; lift Z relative to current position
G90 ; absolute positioning

Haggan90 · 23 Jan 2019, 09:11

I just found out another strange thing..

If I home all axis, my home position is X35 U0 Y65 Z0, which it should be.
But if I then do another homeall from that position I get all kinds of diffrent values, like X-95 Y65 U0 Z0.

One can clearly see the U and X axis acting strange when I try to do a second homeall, the U crashes into the endstop and so on.

Please read the wiki page on configuring a CoreXY printer. Note the bit where it says that you can do initial XY homing concurrently in homeall.g, but then you must home X and Y individually after that. In your case you should be able to do initial homing of XYU concurrently (which will stop when any one of XYU is homed), then you can home Y by itself and then X and U concurrently.

If you still have problems after fixing that, post your latest config.g and homeall.g file.

Haggan90 · 23 Jan 2019, 17:29

@dc42 I just tried that and as soon as Y endstop hits everything just stops.
this is my homeall.g:

G91 ; relative positioning
G1 Z5 F6000 S2 ; lift Z relative to current position
G1 S1 Y-550 U-550 X-550 F2500 ; move quickly to Y axis endstops and stop there (first pass)
G1 S1 y-550 F2500 ; Home Y seperate
G1 S1 X-550 U-550 F2500 ; Home X and U seperate
G1 Y5 X5 U5 F2000 ; Go back 5mm on all axis
G1 S1 Y-10 F600 ; slowly home Y
G1 S1 U-10 X-10 F600 ; Slowly home X and U

G90 ; absolute positioning
G1 X35 Y65 F6000 ; go to first bed probe point and home Z
G30 ; home Z by probing the bed
G91 ; relative positioning
G1 S2 Z5 F100 ; lift Z relative to current position

Can you confirm you are using the new firmware? I posted the link yesterday.

Haggan90 · 23 Jan 2019, 19:25

@dc42 yes, I installed it as soon as you posted the link

Haggan90 · 24 Jan 2019, 18:21

Do you find anything wrong with my config?

dc42 · 24 Jan 2019, 18:30

No, I didn't spot anything wrong with your config. I used a slightly different config for testing (single Z motor, and active high U endstop switch).

Please can you try to produce a reproducible test case along the following lines:

With power off, move the carriages slowly by hand to an approximate X, Y, U position, to ensure that a chosen axis will reach its homing switch first. [Specify the position]
Send the first N commands from the homeall.g file. At this point, something undesirable happens. [Specify what].

Haggan90 · 24 Jan 2019, 18:38

@dc42 Ok I will do that!
What do you mean with "First N commands"?
