Duet homing on Ender 5
-
I haven’t ran an M119 yet (print head won’t reach the endstops). The endstop LED’s are lit up and go out when I depress each endstop switch - does that sound correct?
-
No. They should light when triggered, not the other way round.
Hence using M119. If it says triggered when not triggered, you need to swap your endstops round in the firmware. It would stop you from homing. -
Excellent, thanks, I'll do that later today and report back.

If they are normally closed switches (the most common type), then that's correct. But check that the Duet is reading them correctly, using M119.

Sorry, just to be clear, do you mean switch the endstops from “Active Low (NO)” to “Active High (NC)” in the RRF config tool?
Or should I switch the wires over on the connectors?
David, thanks I'll do that first when I get back from lunch.
-
Active High (NC) and at low end should fix it. Also make sure your end stop cables are right to.
-
M119 is producing a comment of "Not Stopped" on X,Y and Z axis.......also on Z probe, which I did not set up???
Should I go ahead with Active High at low end?
-
I don't have my Z probe setup yet so can't comment as to what that should be set for but the other stops I am running are from the original ender 5 and I have mine all set to Active High (NC) and at low end and they all work fine on the duet 2 wifi.
-
Thanks, not worried about the Z probe yet, just want to get the printer running.
-
It is with great pleasure that I can inform fellow forum members that the printer is now functioning as expected. Setting the endstops to active high at the low end did indeed do the trick.
For reference the endstop LED’s are on and go off when the switches are activated.
Many thanks one and all for your input.
