hehe okay thats what I thought   THanks!

I did that but its the same.  I tried ^ and ! as you suggested.  I see when I push the endstop the screen/interface chanes, so clearly its been recognized.  

 

When I press HOME X, should the motor not go back to position 0 which is where the endstop is?  and when it hits the endstop it should stop it from moving..  meaning the endstop is not pressed until it reaches 0..

 

In my case, I do not get much movement unless the endstop is already pressed but in real world use, it would not work...

 

At least the endstop is being recognized when I push it, the green box at the top turns off..

When I release, the green box comes back..

You have to home Z before you can home the other axis. Be ready to hit the e-stop if the stepper goes in the wrong direction.

laptop is on charge will post up some useful info for you late tomorrow evening 

Did you end up getting your machine working, its been a while since I saw you.

Yes, I will need to hook up multiple endstops.  RIght now the board is not connected to everything, I suppose I will do that and see what happens once I can check z,x,y all at the same time

Thanks for the help!

[PFarm]

When you've verified the endstop by homing Z first, then X and Y., you'll see that when you hit home all it does Z first, followed by the other two axis. That so the spindle doesn't hit anything by putting it in the home position.

I will wire up the x and y endstops, the z endstop is a bit different I suppose, i will need to use a toolsetter or something liket hat?  I do not have a z endstop on my z aparatus, figure no need if I am using a toolsetter/bitsetter.

[PFarm]

Scylla is going to be looking for the Z to be homed before it will let the other two move. The toolsetter is a whole other function with Scylla.

Okay so I will need to add a z endstop onto the z.. I thought maybe to use a probe or just the paper method for the start..

Okay so I have the machine at my home office now, so its easier to work on.  I will be putting an endstop on the z shortly.  

I am curious what tool setter/z offset device you are using?  I have a shapeoko cnc at work, we use this:

 

 

We also have this:

 

 

The first happens automatically when homing.  the second is used after..

 

Do you use something similar to these?  On scylla?

[PFarm]

I use these two, they are cheaper to purchase than the ones you posted:

But the ones you posted will work as well. Ensure that you set the correct voltage jumper for both probes.

I have no issue ordering the exact same ones you use   In fact, since you are using them makes more sense to use them as we share the same board

I see it.  So that one will tap corners etc on a piece, just like the one I was using..

 

Very cool, were they hard to wire up to scylla?

No 24V,Grd.Signal.

Touch Probe

Toolsetter, you don't connect the blue wire

Is there a way to slow down the movement?  seems awfully fast.. none of my cncs I have ever used moved that quickly..

Edited June 5 by real1st

[real1st]

@PFarm  I have my machine hooked up, just testing my movement.  Make sure no binding.

 

My x works very smooth, my z works very smooth.

 

When I try moving my Y, it moves, but I notice my right side moves more than the left, even though they should be moving the same distance...  I checked the belts, the pulleys, they are the same motors too.. Very confused..  Slowly but surely the right side moves to the back more than the left, which causes issues/binding/diagonal gantry..  Any ideas?

Speed can be adjusted in the speed.g file, the M203 line.

Okay I did that. Slowed it down a bit, but I see when I move for example 10mm on the Y, the left side moves as does the other side, but not the same distance..  The one that is plugged into the A is moving different than the one plugged into the Y port.

The only thing I can think of is to check the belt tension.

This is the drive.g file was your other setup running at 32 microsteps/mm or 16 microsteps/mm

[PFarm]

Also, in the drive.g, look at what amperage your steppers are rated for and adjust these settings accordingly. Keep in mind the setting is in milliamps.

Mine are like that..
