@mac said in I could use some help:
@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.
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.
-
@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.

@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.

@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?

; Axis Limits M208 X0 Y0 Z0 S1 ; set axis minima M208 X220 Y220 Z240 S0 ; set axis maxima -
@fcwilt are the S0 and S1 reversed?

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!
-
@fcwilt so where do these responses put us?

We are still need to test the X and Y endstop switches to see what M119 reports when a switch is pressed or not pressed.

@fcwilt with X depressed, X is at min stop, everything else is as it has been.
With Y depressed, Y is at min stop, everything else is as it has been.
-
@fcwilt the Z-endstop is still saying it's at the min stop.
-
@fcwilt Z must be wrong, don't you think?

Fantastic.
So we know the X and Y endstop are working.
But the Z is not. It should do the same as the X and Y.
Please do this - from the DWC console execute M574 by itself - it should report how each endstop is configured.

6/27/2022, 9:17:19 AM M574 Endstop configuration: X: low end switch connected to pin !io5.in Y: low end switch connected to pin !io6.in Z: low end switch connected to pin io2.in -
@fcwilt something about that doesn't look right?

So it says the Z endstop is configured on the low end, is connected to io2.in and does not have the ! character because the white wire is connected to the NO connection on the switch.
But it seems that pressing or not pressing the Z endstop switch doesn't change what M119 reports.
Did you verify that the Z endstop switch is still plugged onto the IO2 connector?
