Unable to Home the Y axis - BLV CoreXY Machine
-
I'm building a BLV 3D printer and just powered it up a few days ago and am starting to configure everything. I have the X sensor on the left and the Y sensor in the rear left. I'm using optical sensors. The bed is 310mm x 310mm. I can't for the life of me get past homing the Y axis.
From the web interface, clicking Home Y: It goes back to rear left, makes the Y optical sensor then just stops. The next move should be a G1 H1 Y-5 but it just sits there with the sensor made.
I can manually issue another positive G1 Y+1 and it will move forwards beyond where it triggered the sensor but any negative moves do nothing with no errors. It is definitely making the sensor, the Duet board's Estop LED goes out and the Web interface reports it made.
I have to reset the board to allow Y to move after that. I can issue M564 S0 H0 and manually move the motors in all directions. I don't see any difference between homex.g and homey.g other than the directions.
Homing the X axis works perfectly according to the code. X goes left, makes the optical sensor, moves right 5mm, then left at the much slower rate and makes the sensor. My axis are all moving in the correct directions. I'm absolutely puzzled and have tried increasing the distances beyond the build plate size up to .
My config.g, homex.g and homey.g are attached for viewing if anyone has a solution, Please help!Board: Duet WiFi 1.02 or later + DueX5

please check manually with M119 that all your endstops work correcyly

Veti, thanks for the support and the test to try. I'm fairly new to the RepRap systems and need all the help I can get. From what I'm reading in these beta forums, I see that homing has been an issue but it seems that some have worked around it. Here are my results: First with no endstops triggered, second with Y triggered, third with X triggered and fourth with X and Y triggered. All seems good.
Question: CAN anything inside of config.g affect the way homing works? My current config.g is part of this post and something tells my noob mind that config.g may be the issue. Is this possible? When I first started this project I was using the latest stable version 2 firmware and it worked perfectly at least when doing the X and Y homing. I've not even made it to the Z homing which will use the IR sensor. I don't have the machine completely built yet and not all functions are configured. I'm stuck on the homing issue and don't want to move forward until I get it working. Anyone? Please help! What else can I check or test? I really hate to revert back to version 2 firmware.

Your description of the printer would indicate that your Y endstop is on the high end of the axis travel, but your M574 command is saying that it's at the low end. So when you home Y, it thinks it's at the low end of Y travel, not the high end. You can confirm by looking at the Y position as displayed in the DWC. When you home to Y max it should say the Y position is 320 based on your M208 Y maxima, but I bet you'll find that when you home Y it actually says the Y position is Y0.

@wkellyo I think you have your X endstop set as a min endstop with X1, which looks correct with your homex.g, but your homey.g infers that your Y endstop should be set as a max endstop. In config.g change to M574 Y2 S1 P"ystop"

Y2, not S2, that’s for a probe!

Of course, you're right!

You guys Rock! I guess I had too many late nights and missed such a simple change. I now realize the Y endstop is indeed at the rear left of the machine as looked at from above, but... It's Positive and that's what I missed in the endstop configuration as you all have pointed out. I changed the Y1 to Y2 and lo and behold.. It works! Thanks to each of you for taking the time to dig through my config.g file and finding this!! Bless you all and merry christmas!!!
