After homing, no axis moves.

Folger i3 Prusa, posted in that thread before but figured I would make a separate thread.

After homing, I try to move the axis (all) in any direction, but none will move. They worked previously (a month or more ago) but I have not had much time to play around as I've been out of town. They don't even try to move, so I feel as though it is a software thing.

Any ideas?

Once homed check endstops status with M119, only the home ones should be triggered.

Hi,

I tried entering the GCode into the manual control section of repetier, but I can't see anything happen. Where do I see the results of GCode?

I'm fairly new at using gcode, so thanks for your help.

I use pronterface for G code communication. Once you send M119, the printer will display the status of the endstops.

My printer does not have a screen...any way to read through COM interface?

If you use printrun/pronterface you have a USB connection to the Printer and see the results on your computer screen.

Repetier has the same view just need to click on "Toggle Log" then use the control section and Type M119 and click send. See Pic

Thanks for the screenshot and advice!

With all endstops homed, it reads:

16:56:39.547 : Reporting endstop status
16:56:39.547 : x_min: TRIGGERED
16:56:39.547 : x_max: TRIGGERED
16:56:39.568 : y_min: TRIGGERED
16:56:39.573 : y_max: TRIGGERED
16:56:39.590 : z_min: TRIGGERED
16:56:39.590 : z_max: TRIGGERED

X not homed:

This seems odd. What gives?

Wow, you have some work to do with both wiring and firmware.

First you need to find out why Y max changes when Z is moved? then you need to change the logic of any non existent endstop from true to false or vice-versa or if you only use Min position you can comment your Max endstops.

just for testing change the value of all your Max endstops to the opposite value of your Min enstops and re-run the test.

I´ve read of endstops with wrong cable colors or mismatched positioning of the cables in the connectors.
Pretty easy to mess up the whole printer with those.
Find out, which are the GND, 5V and signal wires, but NOT by cable color.

Sorry for the late response. I don't have any max endstops and I don't see the setting for that in repetier, so how could I do this? Thanks for your continued assistance.

So I switched the Y endstop to the other side and changed the min/max values for every one and i get a mix of Ymax triggered and open. It shows triggered the first time after hitting the y endstop, otherwise it is open. Also, while toggling the x endstop,, the xmax showed open while the xmin showed triggered always after switching values.

Fixed it. There was an issue with the the thermistor.
