RADDS + Repetier Z-axis directions problem
May 05, 2018 03:31PM
Hi guys,

When using repetier firmware I having a hard time problem solving, but I am getting there.
Just fixed my end stopping but;

When homing Z to Z min
Stepper Z1 and stepper Z2 are spinning towards each other, result is that the right side is going up and left is going down.
from the start it wanted to set Z home to the top so I inverted it:

#define X_ENABLE_ON 1
#define Y_ENABLE_ON 1
#define Z_ENABLE_ON 1
#define DISABLE_X 0
#define DISABLE_Y 0
#define DISABLE_Z 0
#define DISABLE_E 0
#define INVERT_X_DIR 1
#define INVERT_Y_DIR 1
#define INVERT_Z_DIR 1
#define X_HOME_DIR -1
#define Y_HOME_DIR -1
#define Z_HOME_DIR -1
#define X_MAX_LENGTH 200
#define Y_MAX_LENGTH 200
#define Z_MAX_LENGTH 180

What is going on and how is this fixable?

Thanks!

Do you use one driver for both steppers? Then you have to turn around one of the stepper connectors or switch red/blue wires
Do they run on two individual drivers? Then you have to invert the direction of E1 too

Hi, Thanks for your reply!

Both of the steppers are connected to one stepper driver:



Only the wires arent color coated but all black. But they have these marks;



What are these?

Thanks

You can turn around one stepper connector or switch around two adjacent wires of one connector.

That works!
Thanks!
