while in motion, if you manually trip the end stop and the motion stop then everything works fine as expected. if it keeps on moving, then I suggest you quickly pull the plug and inspect the wire connection.
Did it work, @lowdragdesign?
you could do that but that’s a bad way of testing your endstops!
send a M119 command to the printer and it will return the endstop status you can test all the endstops without moving the XY or Z its beter for your belts, rods and fingers
put your endstops where you want them then configure your home direction in the firmware
for instance my printer homes to X max Y min and Z min the X is the wrong way around but I wanted my wiring to be at the same side as the X stepper motor so I could tidy it up.
I have problem with the thermistor now; printrun says max temp ~454. Not sure what changed. I can’t check the switches before the printer can connect without errors. I’m going to try reflashing the marlin firmware, doesn’t seeem to be changing anything when I’ve tried that before.
oo I didn’t think of checking with the voltmeter, thank you!
