Smoothieware and CoreXY
September 16, 2014 07:16PM
I am in the process of configuring the Smoothieware on for my CoreXY build. I am using an Azteeg x5.

I have noticed that when I use the manual controls in Repetier, my carriage moves diagonally whether I use the X or Y arrows. This tells me that it is only turning one of the motors.

Should both motors be turning so that the carriage moves along either the X or Y axis respective to the command I give it? Or is the diagonal movement just a by-product of the Corexy kinematics?

I attached my config file for reference. config.txt

Yes, both motors should be turning when going in just the X or Y direction only.

I'm not familiar with smoothieware, but did you set it to use CoreXY kinematics? This page smoothieware.org says you need to also set the arm_solution to corexy which i can't see in your config.
