Axis wont "home" in correct direction.
May 03, 2014 08:11PM
I have a prusa i3. Sanguinololu 1.3. Sprinter, and Pronterface.
My x axis endstop is on the right. But when i press home it checks for the endstop on the left.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

//// ENDSTOP SETTINGS:
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------
// Sets direction of endstops when homing; 1=MAX, -1=MIN
#define X_HOME_DIR -1
#define Y_HOME_DIR -1
#define Z_HOME_DIR -1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I could invert axis but then the direction on pronterface isn't correct.
When i change the code to:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

//// ENDSTOP SETTINGS:
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------
// Sets direction of endstops when homing; 1=MAX, -1=MIN
#define X_HOME_DIR 1 //(this is the part of the code that i change)
#define Y_HOME_DIR -1
#define Z_HOME_DIR -1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

my axis wont home at all.
it moves fine, but it wont home.

i want it to check for the endstop on the right side of the printer, not the left. Can someone please help?

Your change is correct, X endstop on the right is a MAX ensxtop.
Did you also move the enstop to the X max position on the main board?
What does m119 say about endstop status?
