@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.

@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?

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!

@mac M92 cut and pasted to before M350, board rebooted.

@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.

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.

@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?

@fcwilt are the S0 and S1 reversed?

@mac said in I could use some help:

No they are correct.

But, just FYI, there is a simpler form of M208 (at least I think it is simpler)

M208 X0:220 Y0:220 Z0:240

Notice no S0 or S1.

The number before the : character is the min value for the axis specified by the letter.

The number after the : character is the max value for the axis specified by the letter.

I find it easier to remember "min then max" rather then "is it S0 or S1".

That's just me.

@fcwilt for a moment I was confused as to where the 0 was, i.e., the number before the "colon" is . . . .

But I figured it out!
