Homing issue with 2.05 on Duet 0.85

fotomas

There is something strange going on with the homing and max/min of the axis. The coordinate system seems to shift "some times" not always, +20 mm on X axis. I am pretty sure I had the same behavior on Y-axis a few days back. It does not accumulate over several prints.

Homing does not fix it. If I move the printhead to where I want zero to be and send G92 X0 it does not help either. The printer still reports X20.
G92 X21 works and sets X21.

As a test I have copied all homing code from homex.g, homey.g and homez.g into homeall.g and that does NOT give the same result as home each axis by it self. The homeall.g causes an unwanted shift, some times.

Only reboot seems to resolve this. I have also (during test of modifying homing files and buliding them from nothing adding one axis at the time) that if code for homing Z is missing from homeall.g it homes Z anyway, bug or feature, I dont know. Related? I dont know...

Please advise, what to try.

Firmware version 1.26 running on Duet 0.85 (2019-12-13b1). As far as I know it turned up after updating the firmware.

your motor current for x looks really low.

G10 P0 X20 Y22 Z0 ; Set tool 0 axis offsets

is this intentional? offsets for the probe should be defined in the G31 command and unless there is a specific reason for it the G10 command for tool 0 should not have an offset.

fotomas

the G10 seems to fix it. I will run a few tests. But it seems promising.

The motor current is ok, that axis has an original Cetus stepper motor.

Issue solved!

That G10 offset did the trick, must have added that as some sort of test and forgot about it.

Thank you for quick help, keep on printing!

Not a good idea to load the mesh at power on before the Z axis has been probe. Load it at the end of homeall or in your slicer start gcode.
