Hi all,
Im testing the movements for the stepper motors for the 3 axis's of a Rostock configuration delta 3D printer using Pronterface. The move commands work but I can't seem to get the homing command to work, for all 3 axis's at the same time or any axis individually. Furthermore the motors start making a high-pitched squeal noise when you send the homing command and they refuse to turn. Also when I initially send any move command after connecting, the steppers don't stop until I trigger the end-stop.
I checked that the end stops work using the M119 command, whenever they are closed, it reports it as triggered:
SENDING:M119
Reporting endstop status
x_max: TRIGGERED
y_max: open
z_max: open
Checked the current position after trying to home the motors:
SENDING: M114
X:0.00Y:0.00Z:250.00E:0.00 Count X: 467.08Y:467.08Z:467.08
Im using the latest Marlin version on [
github.com]
