G30 S-1 is giving me heart stitches [SOLVED]
-
OK, thanks to both of you @Veti and @chrishamm
for the qiuck responses.
I now have the confidence to solve it.
Will report later -
Ok, no changes in behaviour so far...
I changed the maxima setting to 208 ...S0
I added M557 X10:250 Y10:170 S40:40 to specify the mesh grid
I copied DWC 2.07 to the SD card. ( What a relieve)But still it does these funny moves and crashes into the leadscrew.
Any other suggestions?
-
Oh, there's one thing I want to ask:
I have a negative number for Zmin in the M208 S1.
Now, when I home Z, the homed height is set to -2 or whatever I set in M208.
I haven't found the right way to compensate that other than overwriting it with G92 Z0.Does it matter if my G31 Z-probe definition is before or after M208?

post you home script
-
M574 X Y S3 - where are the values for X and Y specify the location of the end stop?
You have specified the Z trigger height in G31 as 0. Usually a capacitive probe triggers a few mm off the surface.
Also capacitive probes can be slow to respond so you might need to change the F value in M558.
When you home any axis the position is set to the axis min/max based on the axis parameter in M574.
You have specified that the end stop of Z is at the low end so it gets set to Z min which you have as -2.
Why do you have Z min as -2?

G91 G29 S2 G1 S1 Z-300 F800 G1 Z5 F800 G1 S1 Z-10 ;G92 Z0.0 G90 ;G29 S1What does it mean, when DWC is giving me a warning about Z=0 datum isn't set everytime i load the heightmap?
Is it trying to do that, when it crashes against the leadscrew?
I've made two short videos to show what happens, but I'm not sure when I find the nerve to upload them to u-tube. -
that is not a home script. as it disregards any endstop
nevermind. it used the old S syntax.
that is the reason why its set to S-1
when the endstop is triggered the axis is set to the endstop position.
with a G30 this will not happen as this sets the current positon to z=0that would also get rid of the Z=0 datum message.
-
@Veti
To be clear, it uses the Z-probe as endstop. -
that is wrong.
try a default homez.

@Veti said in G30 S-1 is giving me heart stitches:
yes
you REALLY need to use a standard config that is generated by the config tool.
I started filling out the config wizard, but then got stuck with the stepper settings. I would have to copy my existing config settings into the wizard, so what is it good for?
I'd just copy any possible mistake into the new file, if there's any... -
@o_lampe
well it would have generated a correct homing script for once.
and as i said it will make the migration to version 3 easier -
@Veti said in G30 S-1 is giving me heart stitches:
G1 X15 Y15 F6000 ; go to first probe point
The head moves to that first probe point and then throws an error insufficient axes homed
As always I homed X/Y before homeZ with G92 X0 Y0.Do I really have to install endstops for X/Y axis?
I never needed them for my CNC. I just parked the toolhead at 0,0 before I switched off and went the G92 way to start...
I checked the homeX/Y files. They all look similar to the one I originally posted. (I had this SD-card backup from my CNC machine) -
the G30 command give you insufficient axis homed?

The would work IF the actual positions of X and Y were zero. How do you know they are?
Do I really have to install endstops for X/Y axis?
No - you can use sensor-less homing.
I don't care for that myself. To me using physical end stop sensors for homing is like stopping your car using the brakes. Sensor-less homing seems like stopping your car by running into the car in front of you.
As to using G30: did you read the docs on what each variant of G30 does?

No, the macro doesn't run G30 because of the error message.
I used jumpers on X/Y endstops and defined them as active high
When I ask M119 it reports X/Y at min endstops. Now I should be able to use the homeall macro. But it stops after the same line as above mentioned. -
post your homeall then

Yes, and I also tried some other versions with various Px and Sx parameters.
