@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?

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.

A Former User

@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.

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?

Great. You getting the hang of this, aren't you!

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?

@mac are you sure z endstop is connected to io2? Check with wiring diagram. https://docs.duet3d.com/Duet3D_hardware/Duet_3_family/Duet_3_Mini_5+_Hardware_Overview#wiring-diagram

@droftarts hey's baaaaaaaaaccccccccckkkkkkk

I just moved the white wire on the 5 pin io2 connector from io2_out to io2_in, The green wire is still in the center of the connector / connected to GND.

Well that certainly should make a difference.

Please run the M119 tests with the Z endstop switch pressed and not pressed.

@droftarts @fcwilt M119 reported all of the axis are NOT STOPPED, WAIT A MINUTE!!!!!

6/27/2022, 9:28:48 AM	M119
Endstops - X: not stopped, Y: not stopped, Z: at min stop, Z probe: not stopped
6/27/2022, 9:28:11 AM	M119
Endstops - X: not stopped, Y: not stopped, Z: not stopped, Z probe: not stopped

Look at the timecode, between :11 and :48 Z changed!

@droftarts @fcwilt I knew there was a reason I named this machine Frankenstein's Cinderella.

So it seems like the Z endstop switch is now working?
