[bug] [2.0.x_E_homing] Homing E axis kills printer with EXTRUDERS 2 about marlin

[touwen75]

After some trial and error I have solved my problem partially:
I defined the single nozzle extruder feature, but I had to comment it out:
//#define SINGLENOZZLE
Now the G28 command does not halt the printer anymore!

But still it does not home the E-axis.....

I have read that this branch is not for corexy printers, and only for 4 axis homing.
but does this mean it is not tested, or is there a known problem if I do configure it for a 5 axis corexy setup?

Best regards,

Erwin

It is not tested for Core kinematics. I checked the diff (bec35b3) and it looks as if E_AXIS_HOMING is compatible with corexy.

[DerAndere1]

In Configuration_adv.h line 596 you should have (I forgot to add that)

#if ENABLED(E_AXIS_HOMING)
#define E_HOME_BUMP_MM 2
#define HOMING_BUMP_DIVISOR { 2, 2, 4, 4 }
#else
  #define HOMING_BUMP_DIVISOR { 2, 2, 4 }  // Re-Bump Speed Divisor
#endif

I guess this is a bug (I got the updated code from someone else), but maybe test what happens with different combinations of ENDSTOPPULLUP_EMIN, ENDSTOPPULLDOWN_EMIN and E_MIN_ENDSTOP_INVERTING. You can enable DEBUG_LEVELING_FEATURE (i think it is in configuration_adv.h) and PINS_DEBUGGING . Then you can continuously monitor the endstops with M43 E1 and debug the homing with M111 S38.

Also, first make it work with #define EXTRUDERS 1 before adding complexity with EXTRUDERS 2

[DerAndere1]

I fixed some of your problems with commit 33a7d78

[touwen75]

Thank you very much!
I will test it and report back...

[touwen75]

I have just tried commit 33a7d78 with one extruder on my CoreXY, and it works!
G28 E moved to the end switch and set the e-axis to zero.

Adding #define DEBUG_LEVELING_FEATURE did not compile.
Adding #define PINS_DEBUGGING compiled okay.

Then I changed the config to 2 extruders but that gave a whole bunch of errors and it did not compile:

I have tried to go to zero extrudées and that failed. I never tried 2 extruders. All the modifications in the code do have a similar pattern.
First thing you have to check is wether or not all the Config.h and config_adv have all and enough parameters ( speed, jerk, etc)

[DerAndere1]

Hi, Thanks for the feedback. I added a fix to be able to compile EXTRUDERS > 1 as well as DEBUG_LEVELING. Hope that goes into the right direction. Here the commit: b93d322 . @ALL be very clear about which branch you are talking. I update the bug description. This issue is about the 2.0.x_E_homing branch.

[DerAndere1]

@touwen75 you can close this issue if your machine moves as expected.

@ DerAndere1: Thank you for your help!
