Post by HighDangerr »

Hi guys,

My x tower goes sometimes slowly upwards. while the other two already ready!
Does any one know what causes this?

Perhaps something in your eeprom is corrupted stopping your machine from homing.
You can clear your eeprom by following the directions at http://forum.seemecnc.com/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=4130
After clearing change the eprom_mode number in your configuration.h file to some number different from what it
is but not 0 then upload to the Rambo. Hopefully this will resolve the problem with your printer not homing. You
need to calibrate your machine after you upgrade your firmware but you cannot calibrate if your printer won't home.
Please let us know if clearing the eeprom worked.

Could be several different things. Does it work from the LCD panel? Does it work from host program? What host program? What firmware are you using?

First thing it looks like to me is an endstop issue.. the slow travel is the speed for the re-touch after it hits the endstop. Did you run that endstop wire with the others in their own tower, or is it ran alongside the motor wire? I would first inspect the endstop on that issue as it looks like that is the issue.

Could you explain what the issue was with the end stops and what you did to fix it?
