Mind if I chime in?
Well, as I didn't hear any dissenters, here goes:
Can't finger out why this attempt w/ Unified v3 is so problematic for me. I WAS running a slightly modified version for myself but needed to up the ante for MAX_TEMP so I can roast marshmallows and stuff. That brought me here cuz my movement went berzerk, all three axes moving the wrong way but seeming to know which way to head for homing. So I reversed the INVERT_?_DIR booleans and tried again. As I feared, although all 3 now moved the correct direction (+/-) they also now headed the WRONG direction for home. So I changed all 3 ?_HOME_DIR defines to 1 (as they were all -1, of course). Now, though all 3 know +/- to move and know which way toward home, clicking any of the handy, dandy HOME buttons on the Manual Control tab of RH no longer moves any given axis until it finds its switch -- if it's not with (I'm guessing) 10mm. That's all the farther it will move in a single attempt. Then there's the difference between X & Y when it IS with reach: when Y hits its switch it does its usual bounce-and-set dance, but X just grinds like it can't tell. Z I haven't bothered to home all the way, yet, but this ain't the worst of it anyway! After homing X and Y one would expect to be able to move back in a positive direction all the way to the other end, but - NO!!! It will NOT MOVE EITHER MOTOR, yet it updates the position counters as if it DID move. Then, thinking it's out there off of zero, it will ATTEMPT to perform a move in the negative direction, if so instructed, only to grind the motor because it was actually still at zero.
Wacky tobaccy, for sure!
Looking like I'm going to have to resort to a prebuilt hex file and abandon my plans to BBQ, if I'm going to get ANY useful work done this week. The kids will be SO disappointed, but I can only tear out so much hair, and it'll be GONE!
...and I'll be back to fighting with Bridge, which has driven me up AND down the wall, several times.
So this constitutes a pretty weird one, doesn't it?
Big, long sigh. . . .
Later
