Weird homing behavior...

Weird homing behavior...

Hi all,

First print last night! Whoo hoo!

But alas... I have a gremlin...

When I home, X and Y carriages behave as normal... moving up and hitting the endstops and stopping. My Z carriage does not. Instead, it moves down about 5mm and stops. It does not home. Repeated homing commands do the same, each time homing X and Y while bumping the Z carriage down.

Wait, there's more!...

Using Pronterface, I move all three carriages manually in the -Z direction. This appears to wake up my Z carriage, and it then homes with X and Y as normal.

What gives?

Thank you!

Ross


You don't need a parachute to skydive. You only need a parachute to skydive twice.
