Endstops reading triggered?

[sjword84]

I completed the build and installed the Repetier software. I am at the point in the manual that asks me to run M119.
When I do, I get ""x_max:H y_max:H Z_max:H"". The endstops are not triggered and I am pretty positive I wired everything thus far correctly. Please help, I have no idea where to go from here.

Found a post on here that suggest plugging the endstop connection into the Rambo on the lower set of endstop connection closer to the motor wires and IT WORKED. M119 is now reading not triggered unless I physically trigger an endstop.

I am glad you discovered that you had the endstop wires on the wrong pins. Stuff happens but what is important is that you figured it out.
Great job!

...so when you connected them to the spots indicated by the manual, it worked? Amazing.

Do I detect a hint of sarcasm?
It is amazing though that if the manual is followed EXACTLY, everything works in the end. Spooky.

Me? Sarcastic?

Never!

Just so you don't feel too bad - I did the same dang thing. I saw the printing on the image Figure 18-19, (page 190 in V2 manual) and put the end-stop connecters right where there the X Y Z letters were, instead of inside the square. I moved the connectors down and presto! I guess I fell for the old "X marks the spot" suggestion... ah, tis a humbling project. But exciting when it works!

Sorry Gene, it's your fault again

"Insert each of the three end-stop connectors into the sockets shown below, outlined in green"

"outlined in green" has a bright yellow background.

Yep, my fault. again.

You wouldn't make it here, in this plant. Green means stopped and red is running, pink means kiss your butt good bye. LOL. Seriously...
