I have my Duet Wifi running a core xy machine. X endstop is to the left, Y endstop is in the rear. Homing is to left rear. X+ moves gantry to the right, Y+ moves gantry towards front of machine. Ran a print of an automotive emblem that stretched across bed diagonally from front left corner to rear right corner, but when it started printing, it was stretched across from rear left to front right and it was upside down. I'm @ work right now so I can't include my config.g files. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks in advance.

That's because you have your X and Y axes in the wrong orientation. The relationship between them needs to be like this:
Y
^
|
|
*–--> XYou have them the opposite way round. Choose between the following:
1. X=0 Y=0 at the front left of the machine. So +Y moves towards the rear. If you leave your homing switches where they are, you will need to home Y to max Y instead of to Y-0. You will need to swap the X and Y motor connections (TURN THE POWER OFF FIRST!) and adjust your homey and homeall.g files to home to maximum Y. Then adjust the two motor directions to get +X and +Y moving in the right directions.
2. Exchange the X and Y axes. You will need to swap the X and Y motor connections (TURN THE POWER OFF FIRST!) and also exchange the X and Y endstop connections. Then adjust the two motor directions to get +X and +Y moving in the right directions.

Thanks dc42. I'll try and rectify things when I get home.
-
dc42, I chose the 1st option you offered. swapped out the X and Y connections only, made adjustments in homeall g and homey g. Now it homes nicely to front left. X+ moves correctly, but for the life of me I can't get Y+, i.e. gantry moving from front to rear, to move appropriately. It's my understanding that I have a total of 4 possible combinations within the M569 command for the X and Y motor configs.(P0-S1/P1-S0) (P0-S1/P1-S1) (P0-S0/P1-S0) (P0-S1/P1-S1) I've tried them all. What am I missing?
P.S.
I realize that is your name silk screened on my board, so all of my questions are humbly asked.Sincere Thanks!

I suggest you put the print head near the middle of the bed, send G91 to enable relative movement, then use G1 S2 commands to move the X and Y motors independently. For example, G1 S2 X10 will move the X motor forwards by 10mm. You are aiming to get the movement specified in the GCode wiki listing for the M667 S1 command:
Forward movement of the X motor moves the head in the +X and +Y directions. Forward movement of the Y motor moves the head in the -X and +Y directions.
where +X is to the right and +Y is towards the back.
-
I've got the motors moving correctly now i.e. G1 S2 X10 moves print head towards the right and Y towards the rear. G1 S2 Y10 moves print head to the left and Y towards the rear, but right now with what I have set up in my homing files, X and Y make no attempt to move towards the endstops Should I change the Y value in M574 in config.g from Y1 to Y2? I'm just going to paste my homing files here and let you have a look.

Yes, from how you've described the set up, M574 should be
[c]M574 X1 Y2 Z1 S0[/c]
Also, youhave your Y maximum speed set much slower than X. Is that deliberate?
[c]M203 X30000 Y3000 Z300 E1500 ; Maximum speeds (mm/min)[/c]
I'd have expected them to match with a CorexXY:
[c]M203 X30000 Y30000 Z300 E1500 ; Maximum speeds (mm/min)[/c]
(You also have Z max speed set very slow - 300 mm/min is only 5 mm/sec. But maybe that's right?)
-
Okay, I made the changes you pointed out, but there is something evidently wrong with my homing files that prevents X or Y from approaching the endstops. When I home all, X is going right approx. 200mm, Y goes to front of machine. Neither approaches it's endstop. Z goes to endstop and tries to keep going, ignoring the stop.
-
Do you have movement in the correct directions now, i.e. positive X moves to the right and positive Y moves towards the
frontback? -
I've got the motors moving correctly now i.e. G1 S2 X10 moves print head towards the right and Y towards the rear. G1 S2 Y10 moves print head to the left and Y towards the rear,…...............................
That ain't right. If you command the machine to move in the X axis (G1 X10) then there should be no movement of the Y axis. Conversely, if if you command it to move in Y (G10 Y10), there should be no movement in X.
So assuming you have configured your printer to work in coreXY mode by having M667 S1 in you config.g, then it seems that you might need to swap the X and Y motor connections (with the power off !!!) then play around with the S values for M569 P0 and P1 until you get the motion correct. You can send M569 commands from the =web interface so no need to keep editing the config.g and restarting every time.
Also, just use G1 X10 or G1 Y10 and if you want with S1 to check for end stops. S0 is the default and ignores end stops. S2 I think is only for Delta printers.

Ian, if he is using the S2 modifier then the movements he said are correct. The S2 modifier allows you to control individual motors on both delta and CoreXY printers.
-
Yes, dc-42 motor directions are correct per the G1 S2 commands I send. Moving X+ manually also goes right by itself and moving Y+ manually sends the gantry away from me by itself. My biggest problem now I feel that I have something terribly wrong in my homing files preventing X and Y from searching out the endstops. I realize that I don't have the correct Y homing position entered at the moment. I believe per a previous conversation we had that it needs to be set to a positive number that correlates to front of bed. I've just gotten really hung up on why it wont search out the X and Y endstops per my homing at the moment. If I hit homeall right now, X travels 10mm to the right from whichever current position it's in and Y moves directly forward from the new X position and stops at the front of the bed. Z goes to the endstop, ignores it and tries to keep going.
-
Sorry, my bad - just what I read here http://reprap.org/wiki/G-code#G0_.26_G1:_Move only mentions Deltas' not coreXY.
Anyway, I'm a bit confused. The first post states that homing is to left rear. So if the motors are moving correctly, shouldn't Y+ be moving away from home -i.e. towards the front rather than away towards the rear?
-
The description of events when you press homeall and looking at your homeall.g fiile, seems to me that the endstops are permanently triggered as if they are wired active high but they are set to active low by using S0 in M574. Also, I'm a bit confused as to what you are using form Z homing. Is it a switch or is it a probe? - you seem to have both in your homeall.g file,
-
Z homing is endstop switch. It seems to me that regardless of everything, that if I go to the G code console in DWC and send a G1 S1 X-300 command that my X should go to the endstop, but it doesn't. As soon as I send that command, it immediately shows the X being at Home position.Yes, I've been wondering about those Z probe definitions and whether I need to comment them out. I've just had the Z endstop so far, but will be receiving the mini ir probe tomorrow and hope to implement it ASAP.

You need to use M119 to make sure the endstops are working as expected.

M119 shows;Endstops - X: at min stop, Y: at min stop, Z: at min stop, Z probe: not stopped. My print head is currently near the center of the bed and Z is about 10mm from nozzle.

You have your endstops inverted. If they are simple microswitches, rewire them to use the two outer connections on each switch (the normally closed contacts). Otherwise, change S1 to S0 in the M574 command in config.g. See https://duet3d.com/wiki/Connecting_endstop_switches.
Additionally, if your Y endstop is at the back of the printer then it is a max stop not a min stop, and you need to change Y1 to Y2 in your M574 command.
