Moteur Z

Bonjour,

J’ai un petit problème avec le moteur Z quand je clic sur le bouton HOME le moteur descend de quelques millimètres mais pas complètement jusqu’au contacteur .
Par contre, le moteur réagit quand je lui dis de monter ou de descendre de 10 mm.

Merci de me conseiller…

Can you try to post your question in english please?

Unfortunately most people here don’t speak french.

Hello,
I have a small probleme with Engine Z (Moteur Z in french). When I clic Home button the engine goes down a few milimeters but not completely up to the electronic switch (contacteur in French). In contrast the engine reacts when I command it to go down or up of 10 mm.

Check in repetier if you see a endstop hit message.

Also check your endstop switch wiring.
It may be you wired the endstop switch “normally closed” accidentially.

I checked(controlled) the Cabled of the engine and the contactor and they are correct.
Every time I click on the button home Z the axis to move it of some millimeters upward.
When I connect on the software Repetier I have a message of following error.

Error:Line number is not last line number+1, last line 819
Resend: 820

What communication parameters did you set in repeiter’s printer settings?

Baudrate correct (250000) and reset on connect disabled?

I put the parameters as the instruction’s manual says. The wiring is fine. I would like to know how to reinstall the Firmware into the printer and which version should I install. If this is not possible I would like to know how to reset all the parameters. I leave here a video link so you can undertand bettre what’s the probleme about.

Thank you for your time.

If i have seen right your Z axis lifts when homing? correct?

That would mean the Z motor direction is reverted.
You can fix this by reflashing the firmware with a changed z direction setting or switching the Wiring of one
cable pair at the motor. (leftmost or gightmost pair)

I currently use the stock “V1” firmware.
I use repetier host 1.0.6. (you might want to have alook at it as it supports cura engine as slicer too)

If you want to reflash the firmware, let me know if you need help.

Thank you for your advices.Can you explain me how to reflash the firmware.

At first you will need the firmware files from velleman.

Second you need the Arduino IDE.

Install Arduino and open the marlin.ino file with the IDE.
In the IDE under Hardware set the Board type and processor type:


Then Build it (klick the checkmark icon) and see if it compiles correctly.

If it does, set the correct com port and and press the right arrorw button to flash the board.

Here is a detailed description from Velleman :
