What have I done wrong??

Calling on all the brains out there, cos mine in not working too good.

I have been setting up a machine that has been previously working OK, but I needed to change the extruder settings to get the correct filament output.
All that went well, but when I tried to use the machine a strange thing has happened.

The Y axis will not home any more. It just makes a short movement towards home and stops. Can move the Y axis in one direction, except for a small movement.

I checked the endstops and found that the Y axis homing has changed.

SENDING:M119
Reporting endstop status
x_min: TRIGGERED
y_max: TRIGGERED
z_min: TRIGGERED

I have checked the Y limit and it appears to be OK, no wires off, etc, but when I press it, nothing happens as if it is not connected.

Checked the wiring on the Y motor and that appears OK too.

The Mechanical Settings. are below;
I can't see anything wrong, but maybe someone else can see what the problem is? (I hope)

//===========================================================================

it would be easier if you could tell what machine you have.

looking over config here are some settings I would change

#define min_software_endstops true


if you have min end stops, then get rid of min software stops. this prevents movements to less than zero, a requirement for homing to min with end stops.
change to this:

//#define min_software_endstops true

also double check switch, use continuity tester to verify switch contact.


also x,y steppers should be always enabled. end of run or time out will still disable them, just not between moved

#define DISABLE_X true
#define DISABLE_Y true

change to

#define DISABLE_X false
#define DISABLE_Y false

homing feed rate seems kind of high

#define HOMING_FEEDRATE {50*60, 50*60, 4*60, 0} // set the homing speeds (mm/min)

change to this:

#define HOMING_FEEDRATE {20*60, 20*60, 3*60, 0} // set the homing speeds (mm/min)


finally does y home to max or min position? if it is min then something has changed here:

change
#define Y_HOME_DIR 1 // for Genie model A -1, for Genie model B 1
to this:

#define Y_HOME_DIR -1


post how it works for you, others will help you!

I agree with James.

If you're able, test the switch is working with a continuity tester.

If you're getting "Triggered" when the switch isn't pressed with M119 then change:
const bool Y_ENDSTOPS_INVERTING = false;
to this:
const bool Y_ENDSTOPS_INVERTING = true;

Then try M119 again.

If the Y endstop should be pressed when the Y axis is at home (like most printers) then I definitely agree with:

change
#define Y_HOME_DIR 1 // for Genie model A -1, for Genie model B 1
to this:
#define Y_HOME_DIR -1

Thanks guys for your comments.
I checked the files and found that I had a corrupt file and loaded a new version saved on my other computer.
I re-flashed and the problem was fixed.

I did check the limit switch, it was working OK. I also checked all the wiring in case a lead had come off.
Not sure how a text file could be corrupted, but after replacing both configuration.h and pins.h the problem was solved.

The machine is a Genie T model A, it is based on the design of a Prusa Air2, but has many differences,. especially in the hardware parts for the axis which are all powder coated aluminium. Has a direct drive extruder and a hotend based on a J head.

do you mind editing your post with (fixed) after it in subject . thanks!

All working now.
Was a file problem.
