Ok, finally got to the testing stage last night after having to wait a week for a new controller board.
I can manually control the x, y, z axis in Easel
When I start the homing setup it starts off fine for the x, z. The Y axis starts its long journey from the back of the unit to the front and the left side where the screw is the Y axis stops fine. The Right Y axis keeps trying to move forward? Unfortunately the instructions for the Homing Switches are very vague. Thoughts on what the issue could be?
I would recheck your wiring. The signal to the Y motors comes from the same place (with just 2 wires swapped over for direction change) so both axis should be in sync, one can’t turn without the other.
Perhaps both y axis are trying to move forward but the screw is stopping the left one? If this is the case then your y axis homing switch should be the focus of your attention.
The side with the screw has stopped like it “seems it should” while the other side is continuing to try to move forward. I thought the unit would stop when the homing switch made contact with the screw?
In Easel, they added a display of switch status in machine inspector. Open it and then press the switch with your finger. You should see the status change. If not, then you’ve got a wiring issue or a dead switch.
Now you have me thinking something doesn’t look right; it doesn’t look like the screw is able to make contact with the switch; but how would it be installed wrong?
