Interpreting M114 output
March 25, 2014 11:06AM
Hi everyone,

I am getting some odd behaviors and output from my Printrbot Simple, running the latest version of the Printrbot fork. The x-axis motor is seizing up whenever I home it, either using an end stop or by using "Set Home" in Repetier.

While trying to diagnose the issue, I tried the M114 command and got the following output:

< 6:42:11 PM: X:0.00Y:20.00Z:0.00E:0.00 Count X: -18512790.00Y:20.00Z:0.00

The first set of coords match where Repetier thought the print head was, based on "Set Home" followed by me moving it a bit. What I would like to know is: what is the Count part of the M114 output, and what does that crazy value mean?

Thanks!

Those are the internal position coordinates translated to mm.
