I could use some help

@mac said in I could use some help:

@fcwilt the only thing that would close the z endstop is if the X axis came down and closed it.

OK that's good to know.

If the white wire is actually connected to the NO connection of the Z endstop switch it should not be indicating Z at min stop.

Find a way to close the Z endstop switch and execute M119.

I want to see if it still reports Z at min stop or if it reports something different.

@droftarts @fcwilt if we're going to work on this together, I need to know you two are in agreement before I do anything.

Do you both agree that I should tape X and Y closed? Then M119 again?

@fcwilt wait, fcwilt? not droftarts? jeeze you guys are ganging up on me!

No - it just gets confusing when posts overlap in time.

I'm typing, your typing, droftarts is typing - and things get a bit out of order - time wise.

Mac! You've cut me to the quick! Have you no faith in me!

I've only been doing this stuff for years.

@fcwilt @droftarts I closed the z-endstop with my left finger, and hit M110 Send with my right finger. M119 reported Z: at end stop, Z probe: not stopped.

I'm not making this up, guys.

@fcwilt @droftarts I'm just trying to be respectful to Ian and you.

@mac I’m not able to reply promptly now, I’m away from my computer. @fcwilt knows what he’s doing, though please keep it simple, Frederick!

@fcwilt okay, I get it, let's continue on, shall we, Frederick?

I know you are not. I have complete faith in you.

So as far as you can see M119 reports that same for the Z endstop switch regardless of it being pressed closed or not?

Interesting.

How about doing the same for the X and Y endstop switches. You can press just one at a time and execute the M119 for each one. It is not necessary to press them both at the same time.

What we want to verify is that M119 reports the correct thing for both states of the endstop switches, pressed and not pressed.

@fcwilt I just ran M119 again, it's reporting: X not stopped, Y not stopped, Z at min stop, Z probe not stopped.

[A Former User]

@fcwilt I just verified that with the z-endstop pushed down, M119 is reporting the same information as above.

[fcwilt]

@mac said in I could use some help:

@fcwilt I just ran M119 again, it's reporting: X not stopped, Y not stopped, Z at min stop, Z probe not stopped.

OK let's leave Z for now and test X and Y.

Frederick

[A Former User]

@fcwilt I'm going to test the X endstop, and then the Y endstop. Please wait for my report.

[fcwilt]

@mac

I'm not going anywhere.

Frederick

[A Former User]

@fcwilt okay, here are the results: with X endstop pressed down, M119 reports X at min stop. With Y endstop pressed down, M119 reports Y at min stop.

Interestingly, M119 continues to report Z at min stop even though I'm NOT pressing it down?
