Issue with X endstop
Howdy folks. I just finished building my VC500 and started the commissioning guide last evening and am at a standstill at first step running BEACON_RATOS_CALIBRATE. I get "Endstop x still triggered after retract" everytime I try it, or even trying to just Home. I have checked the cable wiring guide 17 times and swapped out the endstop sensor to no avail. This pic is how my enstop is wired. This is what the configurator put in the printer.cfg for X : [stepper_x]
dir_pin: x_dir_pin # Add ! in front of pin name to reverse the direction of stepper_x
rotation_distance: 40 # 40 for 20 tooth 2GT pulleys, 32 for 16 tooth 2GT pulleys
homing_speed: 50
position_min: -60
position_max: 560
position_endstop: -60

How have you tested the endstop?
my kit came with 2 extra ones and I swapped it out. It is plugged into the print head board and I followed the wiring guide exactly and have verified multiple times I have the wires in the correct place on the tool head side connector that i had to crimp. The instructions have to plug it into a 5 wire slot on the board, even though you only have 3.
My question was how you tested it, not how you hooked it up.
Have you tried the
QUERY_ENDSTOPS command?
What you'll want to do is run that command with nothing against the endstop, verify that it says "open". Then with your finger or whatever pressing it down, run the command again and verify it says "triggered".10:55 AM
QUERY_ENDSTOPS
10:55 AM
x:TRIGGERED y:open z:TRIGGERED
with nothing touching x stop
And if you touch the x stop and run the command, does it still say triggered?
correct
i inspected the wire last night, I suppose I could try crimping a new one but the kit only came with one of the 5 pin skinny connectors for the board end
Then it isn't wired correctly. Bear in mind the wire colors can't be trusted; you'll need to swap some wires around. Time to break out the multimeter!
