@dc42 I've manage to get the homeall.g to work now byt homing Y first, then X and then U (all independently).

But I have encountered another problem.
When I try to run G29 both the X and U tries to move, when I only want X and Y to move.
U just crashes into the endstop.

config.g looks like this

Can you tell me which sequence didn't work? I still want to sort it out. You should be able to home the axes in any order, even simultaneously to begin with.

But I have encountered another problem.
When I try to run G29 both the X and U tries to move, when I only want X and Y to move.
U just crashes into the endstop.

Do normal X, Y and XY moves work correctly? In particular, Y and XY moves should turn the U motor so that the U axis doesn't move. The only time that commands shouldn't move just the axes you mention is when you send G1 S2 moves, because they are individual motor moves.

Also, if you send a G30 probing move such as G30 P0 X100 Y100, does it just move X and Y to 100, or does U move too?

For some reason I can't home all again... now when Y tries to home first both X and U moves towards their endstop (at a much lower speed then Y). This is my homeall.g

If I just toggle Y/X/U every axis works perfect, when I move Y for example both U and X are perfectly still in x/u axis.
And when I move only X/U the Y axis is perfectly still.

Nothing hapends at all if I send G30 P0 X100 Y100, but If I only send G30 (after all axis has been homed) everything just seems to screw up.. I will film it and post a video link soon!

@dc42

Sometimes It seems to work with the home all, if I just do it as soon as I start the printer. But if I have moved any axis before, this happends: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hShrS0JAh68

And this is what happends if I first manually home all axis and the use G29 (mesh grid): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vcpx7KPqJXw

This is with no homing, just moving each axis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kP_eEowGYOI

Haggan90

@dc42
I just tried to disconnect the U stepper and same things happends, all code as well.
I'm really out of ideas now, do you have any sugestions?

Haggan90

@dc42 I'm beginning to think that there might be some bug in the firmware with the matrix you made, as It works great when using the toggle to move each axis but as soon as I try to move any at the same time everything just gets messed up.

The movement in that video looks OK to me, assuming that the print heads moved in the directions you commanded.

What happens when you try to move axes simultaneously, e.g. to do diagonal moves?

Haggan90

@dc42 If I just send G1 Y50 X50 it seems to work as it should, but I can't home any axis after (like in the homall video)

Haggan90

@dc42 I just tried to change the M669 from K0 to K1 without any luck, same problems. On the plus side of this I'm starting to get a good hang of some gcode

Do you think there might be some bug in the firmware?

Quite possibly, and I already have it on my list to simulate your machine on my bench. I may have time to do this tomorrow.

Haggan90

@dc42 oh that's awsome! Let me know if I can do something to help

dc42

In your M584 command, you forgot to redefine the extruder drives. So your extruder settings are messing up your axis settings. Please fix that and try again.

EDIT: I corrected that, also I configured a U endstop switch. As far as i can tell, it is working. I'm using a slightly later version of the firmware, it's at https://www.dropbox.com/s/fyvibzm0zl92hiy/Duet2CombinedFirmware.bin?dl=0.

Haggan90

@dc42
I fixed the M584 to this: M584 X0 U6 Y1 Z2:5 E3:4
The homing seems to work as before, but the same thing happends if I try and run G29 (reffering to my last video).

I do have an endstop for U.

Haggan90

IF I change the homeall.g to this, the homeall doesen't work at all If either X or U endstop is hit before I start the homing. I need to home all axis by them self.

Haggan90

I just found out another strange thing..

If I home all axis, my home position is X35 U0 Y65 Z0, which it should be.
But if I then do another homeall from that position I get all kinds of diffrent values, like X-95 Y65 U0 Z0.

One can clearly see the U and X axis acting strange when I try to do a second homeall, the U crashes into the endstop and so on.

Please read the wiki page on configuring a CoreXY printer. Note the bit where it says that you can do initial XY homing concurrently in homeall.g, but then you must home X and Y individually after that. In your case you should be able to do initial homing of XYU concurrently (which will stop when any one of XYU is homed), then you can home Y by itself and then X and U concurrently.

If you still have problems after fixing that, post your latest config.g and homeall.g file.
