Z Endstop not working
-
Im in need of some help on setting up my Duet Wifi Z endstop.
My mechanical z endstops wont stop the axis when homing. When i give a z home command the z axis moves in the correct direction and when the switch is activated the LED for the end stop lights up for the Z axis on the duet WiFi, the light activates on the endstop, M119 states z min. activated, and under machine properties it says yes under enstop hit for z axis, but it wont stop.
Wiring is as follows on the endstop green = out, red= +3v, blk = gnd…On the Duet green=in, red = +3v, blk=gnd.The mini ir probe works when programmed. I just want to set a z endstop for now until i can get some proper brackets made for the z probe and my extruder and then i will switch back to ABL.
Any help is much appreciated.Configuration file for Duet WiFi (firmware version 1.17)

I have the z stop working. Went back through the configurator and let it set it up again and i see the where i went wrong.
Thanks

Hi Tinroof - What was the issue? I am researching s similar problem and would like to learn how you solved it.

Me too.

Turns out the z-endstop is hardwired to E0, so thats where you connect it.
My endstops (normal open) are defined as:
M574 X1 Y1 Z1 U1 E0 S0 ; Define active low and unused microswitches

I think you are confusing the Z endstop and the Z probe. You must select whether you use an endstop switch or a Z probe to do Z homing, in the homing files. See https://duet3d.com/wiki/Configuring_RepRapFirmware_for_a_Cartesian_printer#Homing_Z_using_a_Z_probe and thre section after that one.

Well, I have a microswitch mounted on my X axis printhead and use it for z endstop and for z probe. Its is mounted offset in both X, Y and Z (lifted 5mm) in a way that it can sample 3 points on the printbed, while the nozzle is outside of the printbed. Totally stole the idea from the BCN3D Sigma
But I am now installing a BLTouch.
