Re: My problems with limit switches - my assembly progress

Switches are working properly and I have good cables with shielding. Let me explain once more what happens. Needle height calibration makes needle goes down and touch PCB, same time switch triggers. When I try to move needle up to make position where needle barely touches PCB, again same switch trig...

Re: My problems with limit switches - my assembly progress

I have problem with Z and needle calibration. Again, probably motor wires are not set properly, because mentioned colors. So if I m right Home Z should go up touch limit switcher and then go back a little down. Then on Needle height should go down touch a PCB and the trigger lower limit switcher and...

Re: My problems with limit switches

Motor Z I have received and tutorial stated at "Wiring the motors at liteplacer.com website" have different colors of wires. I don't see yellow wire on my motor just red,green,black,blue so no yellow as listed in tutorial. Edit: By measuring resistance of this motor(bipolar) here is how it...

Re: My problems with limit switches

Motor A is too hot even with lowest possible trim position on TinyG. I have measured temperatures with infrared thermometer and this motor is 10 degrees hotter than others. Also motor does not work good, I ll do more testings today to see what is wrong because it does not rotate properly. Edit: It i...

Re: My problems with limit switches

Assembly takes so long because I have so much fun lately testing LitePlacer :) Now XY Homing and tests works nicely(so limit switches are all set properly so far) only thing I must say here is that without drag chains this is nearly impossi...

Re: My problems with limit switches

Ha tnx, crucial info here for me was that limit switches don't need to be touched. I was under impression that each and every time machine should hit them. Situation right now for Y is that test is going well not touching switches, homing on Y acts like you told me so it touches Ymin, triggers it an...
