Help with touch sensor
Posted: Thu May 21, 2020 5:48 am
I have added a touch sensor to my new I3 Pro B and there is one extrange thing i cannot solve
I have followed the manual and downloaded the new firmawe.
I test the sensor with M280 P0 S10, and everything is ok.
When I moved X axis, i realized the movement has changed direction, so i changed this line in the code from false to true
#define INVERT_X_DIR true
So now everything is ok
If i home search X and Y manually from Repetier, it works fine (using the symbol of the house and X)
If i home search Z, Nothing happens...
I dont know if that is normal or not... I suppose yes...
Then I use G28 from manual G-Code and all the 3 axis are referenced ok.
Z goes down, sensor touches, goes up, and everything ok
My problem comes now.
I was happy, and i tryed to move the Z axis manually to Z + and the axis moved and crashed with the table...
I stopped it removing the power...
I though i may have pressed Z - and that was my mistake.
I repeated, and same happened...
The extrange thing, is that after crashisng and removing power... I apply power again, move manually up, and use Z + and then it goes ok to up.
Why after G28, the first movement always goes down.
I press Z+ 1mm and goes down. I press Z+ 1mm again, and second time goes up. and all next work fine,
It seems that there is an error in the process.
Do you know, what can i do to solve this or at least find a workaround?
Maybe the problem is the way i am testing
But i am afraid of using it after some crashes..
Is there a way, that after G28 the machine moves to Z 10mm for example?
