I have a strange problem with the z-endstop,using mechanical switches. When sending the m119 command.all switches show open except z min,which shows triggered. When i press "home" in pronterface,the z...

you have to get that z endstop to say open when not pressed and triggered when it is ie just use m119 with z endstop switch not pressed, should say open repeat use m119 with z endstop switched...

Thanks guys,I hadn't even looked in the adv.h tab.I tried printing a test cube yesterday,but still had some extruder issues. The homing signal pointed out that the endstops don't work reliably,because...

in your laptops power settings it can turn off the usb ports if they are not in use, try to turn that off. i would suggest to take a long hard look at how the printer contacts the endstop switches,...

Recheck your endstop plugs on the ramp board. From memory, they go into column positions 2,4,6 just left of a yellow plug. Check that one of the contacts used on each switch must be C for common, and...
