Why doesn't this M574 configuration work
-
I have my Duet 3 powered printer working well with the exception of one detail. Currently all of my endstop opto switches are physically located at the low end which puts the Y endstop at the front of the printer. I would like for the Y endstop opto to be located at the other end of Y (back of printer) which is more convenient from a wiring standpoint. So I change M574 from Y1 to Y2 and invert all of my G1 Y numbers in home all and home Y. Y now moves to the back of the printer (Y max) and the endstop is triggered and all is well. The problem comes when I load a print, Duet homes and then nothing else happens, the print does not start. I put M574 and associated Y numbers back to the way they were and it prints as it should. I'm running DWC 2.15,DSF2.1.2 and 3.01-RC10. I realise there is a new f/w version out but shouldn't this work with this f/w?, What am I missing?

I’d ask you post your config.g file; the way you run it is how my blv cube is set up. Double check your axis limits max and min settings to see if they match the way the new endstop configuration is set up. Post yours and I’ll post mine :).

Throw in the home files; at a lance i suspect relatives moves vs absolute moves and failing the second time if the printer homes before print?

if you run g28 or homeall twice does it finish normally, and is there anything in a start.g file or the slicer settings that would be relevant?

Double check your axis limits max and min settings to see if they match the way the new endstop configuration is set up.
Is this the way axis limits should be set up with the new M574 config?

M208 X310 Y0 Z320 S0 ; set axis maximaNo they shouldn't change. if you change Y1 to Y2 and reverse the axis limits you're sort of back to square 1. (also not sure the firmware accepts a minima larger than the maxima) revert to

I have no file named start.G S3d does have a flip Y axes and it is configured to flip, this is the default setting. I have tried it both ways and neither way works with the new config, have not tried flipping Y when printer is working correctly. I can try running G28 a second time from panel due.

unless moving the endstop causes the available travel on the axis to increase or decrease you don't need to change M208. But if you hav 310mm travel and moving the endstop means you can only travel 305mm then update M208 accordingly. High or low end doesn't matter in that respect, just over all travel.

I upload a file to print ( a known good file that I've printed before) the heaters come up to temp, the printer homes and then nothing. I sent a G28 from panel due console still nothing. I come to the pc where dwc is and send G28 the blue send box just circles , I hit estop to get it to stop.

There would be a few mm change because the opto sensor trigger is at the one end a little closer to the rail physical stop, when put at the other end the circuit board is flipped moving the trigger point a little.

the simplest would be to place or jog the head at Y0 then run
G1 F-sensible-feedrate Y400 H3
it should effectively measure your Y axis (up to 400mm but stop when endstop is triggered) and set M208 in config-override.g (maybe you have to save it with M500 or update config.g manually if you don't use config-override.g) -
Ok, I'll do that but if not configured correctly would that cause the issue I'm having? I thought the axes limits were to prevent over extending an axes and hitting a hard stop.
-
@luckyflyer i think you're correct, but i'm happy to defer to higher powers on most thing config.
however having Z-0.6 in you M208 and G92 Z0 in your homeall seems odd to me.
-
Hmm, I did not catch that. I have the -.6 because my bed has a dip in the middle. Front left corner is much closer to 0 but I'll change home all anyway.

Ok I get what your saying.

; Axis Limits

M208 X310 Y0 Z320 S0 ; set axis maximaAs @bearer said several posts ago, you need to swap the Y values over in those two commands. As they stand, no motion will be allowed.

Nuramori, can you post your config.g file, thanks
