Z2 doesn't move unless x is moving

After swapping my motors to the correct ones and getting some functionality to the Lowrider 3 I am now faced with a new challenge.

I can get one of my Zs to move when I ask it to move via the screen. I swap positions of the wires for Z1 and Z2 and then the other side will work. So the gantry is only lifting at one side at a time (rules out any issues with the motors). Swapped drivers around and same issue (not a driver issue then?)
Weird thing is when I home the X; Z1 raises a small amount maybe 10mm but Z2 will keep raising and ignore the endstop. When I move the X via the screen Z2 also moves…so it looks like X is also controlling Z2 and no manual signal to z2 is getting through. I have 3 LEDS on on the middle of the board and a single LED on at Z1 at the jumper

Make sure your endstops match their drivers and are connected correctly. This sounds like an endstop issue. :slight_smile:

I’ll probe them tomorrow to make sure but I’m pretty certain they are in the right place. When I run M119 they are all open so that doesn’t explain why Z2 doesn’t move alongside Z1 or why Z2 moves with X

What control board are you running? And did you buy it from V1? If so have you reflashed it? That sounds to me like you are running Primo firmware/config file instead of LR.

It’s an SKR Pro 1.2 - Got it from Aliexpress and flashed it with what I thought was the right firmware. I’ll need to check tonight.
Is there a direct link to the firmware package just to make sure I get the right one?

This should be the one you want…

Are you running lr firmware? Primo firm had 1 z and 2 x instead of 2z and 1 x, and the primo would of course run both X at the same time.

That’s it working now! Not sure what firmware I had used.

X endstop is working fine but the Z (1+2) endstop isn’t stopping it. The LED on the board lights up but it continues to move. Any ideas?

You wouldn’t be the first to mix up the “Dual” and “DualLR” firmwares.

That seems to be a common issue with the skr. The easiest way to fix it is to break that led off of the board. The other way is to add a pull up resistor. There are several threads around talking about it. I will try to find one and link it.
