All Homing files plus Picts of Current setup and wiring

Phaedrux

A couple notes.

You don't need to use G92 to set the axis position after homing. When the endstop is triggered during a homing move it will automatically set the position to either the axis minima or maxima as defined by M208. I suggest you remove the G92s from homex and homey. You can use them in homez if you wish.

For homing moves you're using S1, in recent firmware versions it's now recommended to use H1 instead.

Your homey.g is moving the axis to the negative, but your endstop position is defined in your config.g as being at the positive end. M574 Y2. So confirm where your Y endstop is, and make sure your homing move direction is correct. Assuming that 0,0 is the front left corner, Y+ would move towards the back of the machine. and M574 Y2 would indicate that the endstop is also at the back of the machine. But your homing move is negative. If a negative move is moving towards the back of the machine, you'll need to change the motor rotation in M569 P1 S1 to be M569 P1 S0.

In your homez you have a Z move at the start to lift the head, but you don't have the H2/S2 switch to allow you to move an axis before the axis is homed. Then later in the file you have G1 Z3 S1 after the axis has already been homed, but now it's moving away from the endstop, so will never hit it.

Homing is still problematic:

Panel still states (Not Connecting) When i got it New from 3d Printed Solid it was able to connect. i think it might be a baud speed issue i read in some posts that the panel tries to connect 203600 when it is supposed to be 57600.

The G28 X and G28 Z error states that you're trying to move an axis before it's homed. I pointed out in my last post why that happens.

The G28 Y error indicates that you have a [/c] somewhere in your file that shouldn't be there. Probably a copy and paste error.

Please repost your homing files as they currently are.

To encapsulate your gcode snippets in code blocks use the </> button in the reply dialogue. I think that's where your [/c] came from.

M575 P1 B57600 S1; Comms parameters for PanelDue

If you remove this line entirely it will use the defaults which should work with the paneldue. What baud rate do you have selected on the paneldue settings screen?

M587 S"SAMPLEWIFISSID" I192.168.1.101 J192.168.1.1;
M552 P"SAMPLEWIFISSID" S1; Set network SSID (P) Enable WiFi (S1)

You should remove that from the config.g. Send it one to enter the SSID and password and that's all you need to do. The config.g should only have M552 S1 to enable the wifi module at bootup. That's it.

M579 X1.001895478 Y1.004419446; Scale axis (Correction factors based on measurment of printed models)

if this is a config.g from someone else you probably don't want to use their scale factor.

; Z probe and Bed compensation
M558 P1 X0 Y0 Z1 F240 H1 T4800; Set Z probe type to IR probe (P1), and is used for homing Z axis (Z1), Feed rate 4[mm/sec] (F240), Dive height 1[mm] (H1), Travel speed between points 80[mm/sec] (T4800),
G31 X35 Y0 Z1.78 P500; Set the probe offset on x axis (X35), set z probe trigger height (Z1.78), set probe output value at trigger height (P500) (FlashForge Blue BuildTak)
M557 X60:255 Y8:128 S40; Set probing grid for Auto Bed Leveling using G29 command, X(min:max) Y(min:max) S(Spacing)

The config is setup to use a Z probe, but your homez is setup to use an endstop switch. Do you have a probe?

; homex.g
; called to home the X axis

M913 X30; Set X motor current to 30% of its normal current to avoid ramming in case of crash
G91; Switch to relative positioning
G1 Z5 F300; Lower bed by 5[mm] in travel speed 5[mm/sec] to avoid crashing

That G1 Z5 F300 should be G1 Z5 F300 H2. That will get rid of the insufficient axis error for homex.

I strongly suggest that you use the web configurator tool to create a new config file set. Use the details you know about the printer to fill out the form.
https://configtool.reprapfirmware.org/Start

Then you can make changes to that if needed. Compare it to the other config.g and try to understand what's different between them.

As i have stated the config.g file is not mine!!!

Then why bother posting it?

Have tried changes here is the result of test:

It looks like you're using the test macros that came on the SD card. Do not use those. They are meant for factory testing only.
