Y axe (only one direction)

Y axe (only one direction)
January 25, 2012 10:23AM
Hello everybody,

I have a problem with my gen6 firmware (marlin) downloaded from mendel-parts.com
All axis are fine and X/Z axis are going on both directions. The problem ise the Y axis... He only goes in 1 direction and when I invert the Y axe in the configuration.h he goes in the other way when but not more in the first one (don't know if i maid myself understood;..)
Anyway, if you have any suggestion, comment or idea to solve my problem you are welcome!

Thanks!

GEN6 + mendel v2

In 99,9% of the cases where an axis (X, Y or Z) moves only in one direction the cause is the end stop (regardless of whether mechanical or optical).
Maybe it needs to be inverted, maybe it isn't working.
Most firmwares allow deactivating the end stops so you might try this first.
Basically the microprocessor is reading the signal pin for the Y MIN end stop and it says that it has reached the minimum position so the firmware does not allow any more travel in this direction.
