Hello,
I am building a custom cartesian 3d printer and trying to get the new marlin version 2.1.1 running but seem to be running into an issue.
Printer: basic dual extruder running a Ramps 1.4 with A4498 stepper drivers and mechanical endstops.
The issue I am having is the one Y axis endstop is on the max location(pic attached) of the Y axis and when I change the config accordingly the axis no longer moves.
If I leave the y endstop stop plugged into the Y min location on the ramps board and leave the config default, the axis moves but is backward(it moves as I increase y, but should be decreasing value).
Changes that were made to the config that are not working:
1. Moved the endstop from the Y-min location on the ramps, to Y max.
2. Change the endstop setting from Y-min to Ymax
// extra connectors. Leave undefined any used for non-endstop and non-probe purposes.
#define USE_XMIN_PLUG
//#define USE_YMIN_PLUG
#define USE_ZMIN_PLUG
//#define USE_IMIN_PLUG
//#define USE_JMIN_PLUG
//#define USE_KMIN_PLUG
//#define USE_UMIN_PLUG
//#define USE_VMIN_PLUG
//#define USE_WMIN_PLUG
//#define USE_XMAX_PLUG
#define USE_YMAX_PLUG
//#define USE_ZMAX_PLUG
//#define USE_IMAX_PLUG
//#define USE_JMAX_PLUG
//#define USE_KMAX_PLUG
//#define USE_UMAX_PLUG
//#define USE_VMAX_PLUG
//#define USE_WMAX_PLUG
3. Changed the direction of homing from Min to Max.
// Direction of endstops when homing; 1=MAX, -1=MIN
// :[-1,1]
#define X_HOME_DIR -1
#define Y_HOME_DIR 1
#define Z_HOME_DIR -1
//#define I_HOME_DIR -1
//#define J_HOME_DIR -1
//#define K_HOME_DIR -1
//#define U_HOME_DIR -1
//#define V_HOME_DIR -1
//#define W_HOME_DIR -1
After the above changes and I try to home. The printer home X, the y axis does a small jerk(but doesn't move), and the Z homes.
These seems to be the correct changes needed in the config. Not sure what the issue is.
