When pressing Home Z axis button the Z carriage moves towards the micro switch as it should do, but when I press the micro switch the carriage stops and and then reverses for approx. 2mm. Is something not wired correctly ?
Hi,
no, that’s quite allright. After reversing, the carriage should move down again at a lower speed and stop when the switch is triggered a second time. Most RepRap electronics have this feature in order to combine high speed (first approach) and high accuracy (second approach after reversal) when homing.
