M574 ignores X configuration on my huxley duo?

Mdev

I've had good prints out of my RepRap Pro Huxley Duo many times - It was acting a bit weird when sending some commands via Pronterface so I decided Updating the firmware and corresponding SD Image was a good course of action. It would appear I should have lived with the minor gremlins as now I cannot get the X-axis to home using the IR Z-probe that came with it.

when I would try to home x after the new firmware flash it would move the hotend ~5mm left then stop - then I changed S1 for S2 in the homex.g and now it moves in the other (correct) direction towards the little tab that sets off the IR Z-probe...but it doesn't stop above it - just rams into the side and keeps pushing the stepper into the side.

I've not changed the physical setup or knocked the machine or probe about after having it print really lovely jobs.

M574 ignores the change to change X0 to X2 - seems to be ignoring the config.g file?

If I posted my Config.g and homex and homeall would it help?

any help appreciated

To help with this problem a bit (I've been helping out in #reprap on freenode)

This is the printer
This is the latest complete SD image for the older firmware

EDIT:

Here's the config.g and homex.g

Oh right.
@Mdev if you can verify the following:

Running:

M574 X2
M574

returns:

Endstop configuration: X: high end active high switch, Y: low end active high switch, Z: low end active high switch

Mdev

@duckle said in M574 ignores X configuration on my huxley duo?:

M574 X2
M574

Exactly that yes.

dc42

AFAIR the Huxley Duo uses the IR sensor for X homing. Therefore the command you need is either M574 X1 S2 or M574 X2 S2 depending on whether the homing tab is at the low-X or high-X end of the axis.

Mdev

@dc42
I added that command via the DWC Gcode Console and it worked - worked a treat.

So I then added it to the config.g and re-ran the x homing command and it didn't work - rammed into the side.

Checked what the reply to M574 was and it now says

M574
Endstop configuration: X: low end Z probe, Y: low end active high switch, Z: low end active high switch,

This is good...but it isn't working. with this as the reply to M574 and I run the x homing command it just rams the side - doesn't even hesitate over the homing tab.

I then popped it back into the Gcode console and ran the x axis homing command and now it doesn't work at all - checked the wiring...all good.

What am I doing wrong?

dc42

Check that with the sensor over the homing tab, the sensor consistently reads as triggered. You may need to stick a piece of white card or tape over the homing tab.

Also check what mode the sensor it in and what the trigger value (G31 P parameter) is. AFAIR, RepRapPro sometimes changed the probe mode (M558 P parameter) from 2 to 1 during X homing. I don't know why they did that.
