Request for ZenXY working yaml file

ZenXY Your Builds
1

Hi all, I have built my ZenXY machine and purchased a Bart Dring TM Pen Laser V2.0 from one of our forum members, it is the old version. I have loaded Fluidnc and have got my machine moving, but not correctly, the only yaml file I can get to make the motors to move is TMC2209_pen.yaml. This is moving both the X and Y axis diagonally, meaning that only one motor is driving at a time instead of both motors clockwise for X axis and clockwise and anticlockwise for Y axis movement. Could I ask if one of the forum members could post a working TMC2209 yaml file. Please don’t think I’m asking for any easy fix, I’ve spent many many hours trying to work this out, I must have loaded and erased my ESP32 50 times, now in desperation I’m asking for help. I have an MPCNC and a Lowrider3 but this ZenXY has got the better of me.

No worries. We aren’t the shaming kind of forum here.

I think what you are missing is:

kinematics:
  corexy

http://wiki.fluidnc.com/en/config/kinematics

I have a working yaml file on my zenxy I brought to Rocky-MRRF. But I’m not sure I have the same board.

Ok so, that is the stuff right there, that wall plotter. My crazy mind says i need that, but damn it i cannot afford anything!!!

Pretty sure @jeffeb3 nailed it. I think I have the same board, but the one “in service” is still on GRBL-ESP32 and the other one isn’t running yet, though it is configured with FluidNC.

I have one I just completed. I had to read and study the entire wiki, but am now sold on this. Ill post a build shortly, but I got it to home x and y with a little modification. My bed is 400 x 1000, so youll have to adjust for that.

Keepnin mind, this is only for the pen fluid nc 2209 board.

Since you have to pull off the y home forst, the tab on the x home tab thing is too short. I didnt wanna reprint it, so i hot glued on a piece of paper the correct size. It works.

Thank you all, Jeff ,Dan and Ted, Kinematics: corexy was the missing piece. Have spent the weekend in awe at that belt. I did find that the homing tabs where a bit short so glued cardboard extensions on, this prevented clashing with wiring to optical endstops. Thanks again, now to build a table.
