CoreXY homing issues

Hi

I have got my CoreXY to move in the right directions when looking from the front of the printer X+ moves the gantry to the right, and Y+ moves the gantry to the rear of the printer, BUT, when I home Y it does not do it correctly, (see code) HomeX appears to work fine (see code), and HomeAll looks like it work ok again see code.

What have I done wrong? Can someone please correct me in my mistakes. Thank you

You forgot the minus sign, should be -5.

EDIT: also your config.g has "M574 X1 Y0 S0" which is Y has no endstop [duet3d.dozuki.com] Should be Y2 if your homing to Max

Hi sdavi

It homes to the rear left-hand corner, so the Y0 is now set to Y1, I have also changed the Y5 to Y-5 thank you for that, it is still however not working as it should, once it has homed the Y I can not move it forward by either the dashboard WebUI or direct control commands it remains at the back of the plate, I can move it before I home the Y to the front of the printer. So something is still not quite right.

... check the working dimensions an axis moving directions - you can't move outside the "allowed" ranges ...

The rear is max Y, so it should be Y2 in M574.

Thank you dc42 and sdavi that has solved the homing of the Y.

Its now the Homeall that playing up, it moves the printhead all the way to the from of the printer off the print bed area, whereas when the Y was set to Y1 it stayed at the back because the area limits were clearly wrong, now that putting the HomeZ and Homeall out.

Assuming you want to home x and y, then move to the center of the bed and then do a z-probe try something like this:

; homeall.g

G91 ; relative positioning

G1 Z5 S2 F400 

;Home X and Y
G1 S1 X-330 Y330 F1200 ;quickly move to X and Y endstops
G1 X5 Y-5 F1200 ; back off endstops
G1 S1 X-330 Y330 F360 ; slowly move to X and Y endstops

G90 ; absolute positioning

; Move to bed center
G1 X165 Y165 F1200 ; comment out this line if you dont want to move to the center

G30 ; Probe bed

Thank you for that sdavi, it worked apart from G1 S1 X-330 Y330 F1200 I had to put them on separate lines otherwise it kept saying G28 insufficient homes axis when I homed all. Hopefully, now my settings are all correct and not back to front and wrong way round. Again thank you for your help.

That's right, for a CoreXY you can do an initial combined X and Y homing move, but this will stop when the first of X and Y is homed. So you must follow it by individual X and Y homing moves. See [duet3d.dozuki.com].
