Mini Kossel - G28 Homing Problem
February 19, 2014 07:53PM
I have a problem that I haven't been able to figure out. When I send "G28" to my Mini Kossel, then the three carriages should all move up to the end stop. However one of the carriages (driven by the y stepper) moves and then vibrates a little ways away from the end stop. If I send G28 a second time, then that stepper moves in the opposite direction!

Here is a video:

Printer: Mini Kossel
Electronics: Ramps 1.4 / Arduino
Firmware: Marlin

I have tried:
swapping out the stepper motor for a different motor
twisting the wires of the stepper and of the end stop
double checking that the wires between the stepper motor and Ramps are connected in the correct order
tuning the stepper drivers
swapping out the stepper drivers

Attached is my Configuration.h file.

Here is the output from M501:

The endstops work correctly when I test them.

Any ideas on what is causing this behavior and how to fix it?

Thank you

I'm having a similar issue. Video here of pressing "Home" [youtu.be]

Found my problem - Y and Z end probes were reversed on the board.

FYI - In case someone else comes across this. It appears to have been a wiring issue. The problem went away after I replaced the wires from the stepper motor to the RAMPS board.
