Endswitches behavior
-
I have configured the endswitch using switch type ones and they seem to work fine.
They respond properly to M119 and work correctly if I run homex for example.
However if during machine operation for example I move the x-axis in down direction and manually press the low end endstop the machine does not stop.
Shouldn't the axis stop for safety at that very moment? -
@danisiz No, they are ignored, unless homing. AFAIK, all 3d printer firmwares do this. The firmware will use the M208 setting to keep track.

@fcwilt Thank you. Now I see that the behavior I described is the one that corresponds to the H4 parameter and I assumed that for security it was the default behavior.

If you want to use your endstop as a emergency stop you can re-purpose them at the end of the homing file to act as an estop. Just be sure to set them as endstops again at the start of homing.
