PRINTER CONSTRUCTION- DIFFICULTY WITH ENDSTOPS
Hello Everybody! I need help! I have constructed a large printer. I am not new to 3d printers and electronics. The printer runs on arduino and Ramps 1.4 board. I have also fitted endstops for both MAX and MIN limits. My problem is that the printer will hit the limit switches and motor will not stop at all. I have chosen to operate the endstops with Normally closed.
The switches are connected to the ramps board using the two upper terminals as explained in the documentation.
I hooked ponterface- and ran the M119 command- all results are L
If I remove a switch lead and run again M119 the switch with the broken point will show H.
therefore the switch is funstioning.
I am using a mechanical endstop V1.2 from makerbot and using the extreme leads and leaving the two center pins unused. I checked the switch with a multimeter and works OK. it will break the cirtcuit when pressed.
now, these are the settings in my configuration.h file.
i have used the repetier Ver 1 online configuration tool...
the Endstops commands are reproduced here below.
I appreciate any lead to solving this...
Have a great day!
