Home XY Using Stall Detection Offset

ctilley79

I set up my Duet WiFi to home the X and Y axis using stall detection on my cartesian i3 style printer. My issue is when it homes, it assumes the end stop is in the X maximum position when in fact the X max position should be around -5mm off the end stop. The current behavior allows the nozzle to position itself off the printable surface. How do I set an offset? Additionally, is there a way to adjust the script so it homes off the minimum and not the maximum?

Ok i figured out how to switch the homing direction by modifying the M574 command. This also had the unintended result of improving the offset issue, however an offset is still required.

How do you have your axis minima and maxima set in your config.g? You can use a negative value to tell it that the endstop is beyond the 0 point. Does that make sense?

; Axis Limits
M208 X0 Y0 Z0 S1				; Set axis minima
M208 X250 Y210 Z320 S0				; Set axis maxima

That's what it is currently. So essentially, now that I've reversed the homing direction, but the endstop is -5mm below zero, my statement would then change to the following?

; Axis Limits
M208 X-5 Y0 Z0 S1				; Set axis minima
M208 X250 Y210 Z320 S0				; Set axis maxima

Yes I believe that should do it.
