@kj3d

Thanks Deckingman - you are spot on, the typo was the result of the issue.

The separation of the V,W, A,B axis was simply for configuration. In operation it sees all 4 as a single axis, which its now doing very well. Levels through with no issues and simply works just as intended.

Now off to Specsavers for some new glasses and a stop at the pie shop for a big helping of humble pie!"!

@dc42

Thanks - thats good to know. problem resolved and board working very well!!

@dc42

Thanks for that - Its a little disappointing, as the other features in the latest release are great . The problem also affects the homing on the X plane on that printer as that uses two stage homing with dual motors, so it affects two out of 4 of my axis

Regards

@o_lampe

Thanks for the reply - the 10mm lift has been enough in previous versions of the software, the endstops are optical - hence quick response.

@dc42

It is in both 3.3 and 3,4 - but not 3.22

@phaedrux

I have just tried Ver 3.3 (updated both motherboard and the two expansion boards to 3.3) I can confirm that the fault with homing is affecting both 3.3 and 3.4 - the config and homing files have not been changed between testing the versions.

In summary the homing behaves as expected (two pass homing) in version 3.22 and fails after the single pass in vesion 3.3 and 3.4

I can confirm that the firmware update between versions was checked with m122 to see that both the motherboard and expansion boards had all updated to the same version.

As you can see from the config.g file in the previous post the 4 stepper motors for the v axis are controlled by the expansion boards (board 1 two motors and end stops, board 2 two motors and endstops.

The bed temp sensor is taken from expansion board 1 but the heater for the bed is from the main board - this seems to work well. When I tried to have the heater and temp sensor (for the bed) on the main board the long (screened and twisted) cable to the temp sensor was picking up too much noise hence moving the temp sensor to expansion board 1.

We have an axis (called "V") which has 4 independent lead screws to level it (4 end stops) The sequence we use to level it is shown below:

1: G91 ; relative positioning
2: G1 H2 V5 F1000 ; lift V relative to current position
3: G1 H1 V-740 F600 ;move V down until the endstop's are triggered (single pass)
4: G1 H2 V10 F400 ; go back a few mm
5: G1 H1 V-100 F260 ; move V slowly down until the endstop's are triggered (second pass)
6: G92 V0 ; set zero dimension
7: G90 ; absolute positioning

This has worked well with Firmware version 3.2.2

With version 3.4 Line 5 is ignored (the second homing pass does not work)
All other parts of the code seem to work, but its a single pass home sequence

Has anyone any idea why??

"Upgrading" to 3.4 has introduced a problem.

@dc42

Thanks - thats good to know. problem resolved and board working very well!!
