Dual-Z Dual-endstop on "Duet 2 Maestro" 3.01-RC9
-
If any one is wondering why the heck the nice tutorial "Independent Z motors and endstop switches" is not working even after exchanging the "S" parameter with "H" and calling those endstops in the config.g names.
You realy should check your homeall.g and homez.g. As I found out you have to configure your your additional axis again in homez.g and homeall.g that means after splitting the axis into two, you put in steps per mm, axis min and max, corresponding endstop, microstepping, acceleration and jerk.
After "M584 Z2 U3 P4" the U-axis has no configuration at all everything from config.g is gone maybe even worse everything is set to default. Steps per mm is 80, axis length 0:200, microstepping is 16, motor current is 0 and so on.
I don't know if it is meant to work that way but I will share my homez.g as a starting point here anyways it might help with some problems.

That has always been the case, if the U axis didn't exist previously. So I assume you didn't create the U axis in config.g.
With RRF3 you do not need to create new axes in order to use multiple endstops on an axis.

Totally my fault. For the first time followed my own advice - RTFM - there was a manual but it did not work as the tutorial does not work correct with version 3.
Can we get a warning on the tutorial "Independent Z motors and endstop switches" that it does not work with 3.0 and can be easyer done by M584 Z2:3 | M574 Z1 S1 P"zstop+whatever_pin" no other changes needet. That would have saved me a day of grief.
