Problem with x axis homing

Post by BlastF » Fri Sep 02, 2016 3:34 am

Hi guys i'm having some iusse with my new I3 pro B and i hope to find solution here!
When i click on the home button of the x axis the extruder moves towards the endstop but when it reach the end the motor doesn't stop but it keep on pulling and making a loud noise for a long period before stopping, it's quite the problem since i think it would break with time... I tried changing the endstop,the wire and setting the maximum instead the minimun but nothing changed, i fear it's a problem of the arduino :cry: Any help??
Another thinkg it's that when i press multiple times the homing the home for the X moves on the opposite direction by some millimeters for each click setting there the new home and never going back.
I'm having quite the hard time.

Hi,
1.Was your Y endstop or Z endstop normal?If it was,you can plug one of them on the X_min(not X_max) socket to check if your X endstop was broken.
2.Check the status of endstops after you home all your axis by referring this:

3.Check if there is a problem on the back of your board like the following pic shows:

Hi William, thanks for the reply.
1)Yes, i tried changing it with the y axis endstop and this one that i placed in the x min socket didn't work.
2)The topic referred to the G2/g2s, i have a i3 proB does it work the same way?
3)From behind the board seems ok...

1.Maybe your X_min socket was broken?You can try modifying the firmware to exchange the X_min pin and the X_max pin,refer to this post:

2.I attach G2s just want you to check the endstop status by the G-code "M119".

If it's really broken then i'll have to contact the seller and have them send me some new parts...warranty is still on. :evil:
I'll try again this evening, thanks for now.
