Answered Issue homing axes, x axis doesn't stop and grinds

My printer has been out of commission for a little while due to a broken power supply. I worked this morning replacing my filament and had to remove the hot end due to filament stuck inside. It's all back together now, but when I ran G28 to home axes, the x axis crashed into the side of the machine and kept grinding. I had ran the same command before replacing my filament and it worked. I also tried using the MatterControl controls and ran the X axis and press the limit switch and it stopped the printer. Not sure why the printer didn't stop when it hit the x axis limit switch when running G28. Any ideas?

Thank you,

Jim

 

Send M119 in terminal with the switch engaged.

Check all your wiring

 

I received the following
<-Reporting endtop status
<-x_min:TRIGGERED

Y and Z were open because I didn't engage them. The limit switch seems to be working and is connected when I checked.

 

So does it hit the endstop and grind or what?

 

Yes it is hitting the end stop and grinding until I turn it off.

 

There are a couple of other things I changed too, but didn't think it would have impacted this.
1. I changed my Start G-Code in MatterControl to:
G1 Z5 F5000 ; lift Z by 5mm
G28 ; home all axes
M565 Z-1.1; set the offset for auto-leveling mechanism
G29 ; run auto-level
M300 S440 P200 ;A4: 440
G0 Z5

2. I disabled auto leveling in MatterControl (attached screen shot)

 

if you manually trigger the switch when it gets home does it finish homing correctly?

 

I trigger the limit switch before it got to the x axis stop and it did finish the homing, but off center of course. Then I ran G28 again and it finished properly, go figure. Not sure what was wrong, but it is running a print now.

The biggest problem I have now is it smashing the first layer on the bed too much. I have had a hard time in the past getting the Z offset set properly.
Should I change the following line in my Start G-Code, make it more negative?
M565 Z-1.1; set the offset for auto-leveling mechanism

Thanks for your help Mike.
