Ding Ding Ding, we have a winner!!!! Trap for new players; if your doing continuity checks in beeper mode, actually check the resistance reading because in my case with the cheap little meter I was using it was beeping when the resistance was over 100 Ohms... tossing that thing. Thank you ever so mu...

Update yes I'm pretty sure the Int Z_Probe_Pin is the problem. Today I tried the M261 command on my machine and it's value is displayed as the first thing in the list of numbers as INT PIN: 0 when reg 49 value is not 21. I see in your test of M261 that the INT PIN is always 1. So this means the fir...

An update, set the steps back to 80 and measured the z height from the home position. Turns out it was 390, not 350 which is stock with those arms, effector combo. Set that in the firmware, got rid of the z being to high issue but it still won't calibrate, just crashes into the build platform.

I was able to tweak the steps until it went to 20, still doesn't help.

You said "Sending the command just crashes it into the bed" I assume you mean that happens on the G30 command. I would first try to figure out why G0 Z20 does not send it to 20 mm above the bed. Without looking at your eeprom settings I would have guessed you have the steps per mm wrong o...

Maybe try a little experiment. Send it a g28 (home) and then G0 Z20 (move to x 0 y 0 Z 20mm) That should send the head to about 20 mm from the bed surface and in the center of the bed. If it is there then try G30. That should probe the bed twice at the center. If that works you can try various comb...

Did you clear your EEPROM before uploading the different Repetier configuration? For what it is worth, at least in 0.92.2 21061227, a search for the variable PRINTER does not yield any differences (aside from some printer identification messages) for PRINTER == 2 vs PRINTER == 5 outside of configur...

Changed to the v3 with the changes indicated earlier, attempted a calibration and the exact same thing happened. I've attached the output.

What is happening is that the machine is going down to about 20 mm above the bed and then it will try to find the bed by a probe. That probe is when yours is crashing because it never detects the bed and so just continues trying to push the head lower. Mechanically it can not go lower and so as the...

Provided no mechanical problems, you might consider lengthening your Diagonal Rod Length a little. After the alignment dust had settles, mine (ball cup - see below) come in at ~294.8/9 If my understanding is correct, a shorter rod setting will cause a greater amount of carriage travel to get to a p...

Nothing jumps out (to me) from the EEROM settings. It is interesting that crocky is using 90 for Z probe speed on a v2 as tuning speed is mentioned in some other threads re triggering the accelerometer and as a component in the quest for better calibration results. Have you been through the machine...

I stand corrected, after changing the z probe speed and confirming the arm length because it was off a bit it is hitting outside the white line, not inside. Sadly those two changes did not help.

It just sits there and tries to go lower, eventually it tries to go to another position but I'm afraid to let it keep going and break something. Yes, it is the 291 that is in the eprom that I have attached. It's inside the line, I attached a youtube link as well above. Thank you for your help.

That's what it does when I issue a G69 S2 like in the first part of the script

Hello and thank you. I actually followed your settings from another post. so they should be the same define MOTOR_CURRENT {140,140,140,130,0} #define EXT0_PID_INTEGRAL_DRIVE_MAX 180 #define EXT0_PID_INTEGRAL_DRIVE_MIN 80 #define EXT0_PID_PGAIN_OR_DEAD_TIME 14.50 #define EXT0_PID_I 0.73 #define EXT0_...

Really? I followed the guide for installing the HE280 and it specified that I needed to just select v2... I don't suppose you have the reference for that? Maybe I followed the wrong guide.

Hello all, I hate to make a post about this but I can't seam to find this exact issue to go off of. I have a v2 with trick-laser arms, molded cheapskates and of course the HE280. Everything got wired up with the per-assembled whip and I have check continuity on all wires and confirmed proper placeme...
