Homing problem after recompile.
I use a Kossel Mini delta with arduino Mega 256. I have been using firmware version 0.92.9 for a long time and it's worked fine for me. I decided to upgrade my stepper drivers but the directions needed to be reversed. So I changed the directions using the firmware configuration tool. I uploaded the previous configuration.h file and changed the directions.
I compiled using the latest Arduino IDE and uploaded to the Mega but then it won't home properly. When it hits the end stops, it just stops. When I use Repetier Host, it will Pause and if I click continue it says RequestPause:Homing failed! and
will not continue.
I used the ond configuration.h in hopes of getting everything back but the same problem.
I tried the new 1.0.x firmware and it homes properly but version 1.0.x has other bugs that I'd rather stay with 0.92.9
Help!

I did not change homing dir.
I have not changed the previious settings:
ENDSTOP_(X|Y|Z)_BACK_MOVE = 5mm
Reduction factor 2nd test = 3mm
ENDSTOP_(X|Y|Z)_BACK_ON_HOME = 15MM
but 5mm is normally enough I think. You might try 10mm to be safe side especially on mechanical endstops there is a kind where trigger and untrigger differs a bit.
Do you get it on same 0.92 that worked before or are we talking about 1.0.x. Because 0.92 is so old I do not remember if it had already the delta safe homing feature included that seems to trigger here.
If it persists check console and search the error string in sources and you see the exact condition what is wrong. If there are multiple parts with same message make them differ so you see which it is triggering here.
When the homing error happened after I reversed the steppers, I tried to go back using the saved configuration.h. The same homing error.
I tried 1.0.x and the homing works fine but when I use it, say, try to do baby step Z, the printer stops and will not continue. I have to reset the printer and start over.
I will check console next and see what I can find.
I've never had this problem with 0.92 so I'm hoping to keep using it.
I tried again using 10mm Endstop back move. Still stops at first hit and homing fails.
I'm sorry but when you say "check console and search the error string in sources", where do I check it?
I'm using repetier host mac and copied this
Console is exactly what you copied. Problem is homing failed might be correct but you need to find where in 0.92 it is issued - I think there are several places to abort homing. You need to find which condition is not met making homing fail. I normally add a print message I would see in console in all possible places.
Thanks!
