Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

Hi all,
I've reached the stage where it's time to start setting up the software. I've got the Arduino functioning and the MatterControl software can communicate with it properly. On page 229-230, it says to click the "ALL" button to send all the axes home. I see all my axes move in the proper direction (I changed the Configuration.h file). The X axis moves to the end-stop switch and stops moving. The Y axis is violently smacking against the top to the point where I can see the belt and entire platform shake. The Z axis moves up but does not hit the end-stop. I checked using the M119 command, and I'm getting proper readings there; when pressed, it says "H" and when not pressed it says "L." Any idea what is happening here? That "G0 Z200 F3500" code doesn't stop the axes from smacking into the end-stop either.

Thanks,
Derek

run the M119 test again and make sure the correct axis for that stepper is registering properly. Chances are you have an endtop wired for the wrong stepper.


I guess while you're at it, check to make sure the steppers are plugged into the Rambo in the correct order. X,Y,Z from left to right on the Rambo.

Thanks for taking the time to help me out. I checked, it appears I did in fact have the Y and Z steppers reversed. I guess I got lost in the crazy cluster of wires.

I switched those around, but now the Arduino software can't "Upload" anymore. Did I knock something out? Do I reboot my computer? Should I start from square one with all this software stuff?


Never mind, I had to restart my computer and redo all the setup stuff to make sure it could communicate again. Thanks man! Looks like it's working like it should now!

Hard to say, possibly reboot everything and clear the EEPROM before flashing the firmware again.

Yessir that worked. Thanks again for your help!
