M201 - x - axis will not home

Post by stevemcl » Thu Jul 07, 2016 9:26 am

Hi, homing the X-axis will not work.
Moving the X-axis works in both directions.
Clicking on the 'Home x' does not move the print head to the left, it actually moves the print head to the right about 10mm and sets the home-X at this new spot.
it never moves it all the way to the left to hit the X-stop.
I removed the X-stop wires from the control board and clicking 'home-x' does not move the print head to the left.
Home y and home Z work fine.
If I power off, then manually move the print head to the correct home-x location, then power on and hit 'set home location' then that works fine.
I'm using rev board 'B'
any suggestions?

Hi,
It just sounds like the endstop of X axis isn't triggered,i think you can refer to some settings of G2's endstop to use M119 to check the endstop status,you need to manually trigger it if necessary.
