X stopped working when changing to Hybrid

Basically, everthing is working with the CoreXY motion. I finish setting the Hybrid motion, change the configuration in the configurator and suddenly X stops working (like trying to move but it can't so it makes this thumping sound), but Y works??????

can you record manually moving to the center, then setting center kinematic position, then record moving to the left, right, front and back? with clear indications of which way you're trying to move?

what do you mean with manually moving? m84 and move it by hand?

the pin directions in the hybrid config line up to my hybrid config but a stepper could be wired backwards
Wetson
Wetsonā€¢2mo ago
I feel like that's the only reasonable explanation, but seeing as this is not idex i'm not so confident on my assumption anymore. still possible Only need to see left and right, front and back dont need to since you said Y homes just fine

you are missing a shim on the bottom right bearing stack as far as the motors, I probably did not explain well enough however
guesswhatsthisparlor
guesswhatsthisparlorOPā€¢2mo ago
I was wondering if it was supposed to be like that. Will try to find it
Wetson
Wetsonā€¢2mo ago
my suggestion possibly would just be to try and flip direction of either x motor and see if that fixes your X homing issue. When Homing X, the gantry should not move in Y at ALL. So whatever combination of flipping the X motor direction you need to do to achieve that would help you out! trial and error
guesswhatsthisparlor
guesswhatsthisparlorOPā€¢2mo ago
Reversed the X and it moved like y backwards šŸ˜‚ Nope
Wetson
Wetsonā€¢2mo ago
how are you reversing?
guesswhatsthisparlor
guesswhatsthisparlorOPā€¢2mo ago
with the ! in front of the dir_pin
Wetson
Wetsonā€¢2mo ago
ok just checking so reversing either X or X1 did not help?
guesswhatsthisparlor
guesswhatsthisparlorOPā€¢2mo ago
nope Any of the 4 combinations worked
Wetson
Wetsonā€¢2mo ago
did it make a difference in homing or did it keep doing the same thing?
guesswhatsthisparlor
guesswhatsthisparlorOPā€¢2mo ago
Neither Reversed X: moved direction Y backwards Reversed X1: moved direction Y fowards (it decided then to moved x but it was doing a trrrrrrrrr noise) Both reversed: moved x reversed with same trrrr noise

No sweat, just got my mind boggled by Y working just fine lol

so both your Y hybrid motors are unplugged?
guesswhatsthisparlor

Yes

Hm maybe run through the configurator again and setup as hybrid? maybe something got corrupted when you changed over
guesswhatsthisparlor
guesswhatsthisparlorOPā€¢2mo ago
Ok Since it's setup as Hybrid rn, should I changed it back to CoreXY and then back again to Hybrid?

Wetson
Wetsonā€¢2mo ago
hmmmm dangit Thought I had something The only other thing I can think of is binding with your X motion Translation in Y while moving X means something is up with one of your X motors not moving the same amount as the other well but then it works just fine while in hybrid sorry, corexy
guesswhatsthisparlor
guesswhatsthisparlorOPā€¢2mo ago
That's the part where I'm bamboozled

I'm having a hard time finding a reason for this other than config, but idk where it would be wrong is everything up to date in update manager?

Yep That's my guess too, but I don't know why
Wetson

@MDFPereira maybe you have some thoughts? X and Y homes fine when put into CoreXY for configurator, X homes incorrectly, but Y homes fine in Hybrid for configurator?

Check wiring and stepper settings on configurator

Ag_Backā€¢2mo ago
I'm gonna tag along 'cause I've been dealing with this same issue for 3 days now. Y motion when homing x. Y position shows 200 after homing, and straps out the same. X position shows 200, but sits at 85. Checked it this morning - move x 50 and that translates to 25 when measured on the plate. I haven't tried unplugging the hybrid motors yet - just glad I'm not the only one....
guesswhatsthisparlor
guesswhatsthisparlorOPā€¢2mo ago
X - Motor 0 X1 - Motor 4 Y- Motor 1 Y1- Motor 3 For the cables, I followed them like on the guide Interesting, in the config for CoreXY the X and Y motors are on Motor 0 and Motor 1, respectively Nevermind I thought I had something My brain is fried

Did you make it past the calibrations in the commissioning guide? My toolhead went off the right side of the bed - that's what started all of this.

No. I installed the belts and changed the config and was planning to do the input shaping Tried to home for it and, ag as you can see, the rest is here sorry
Ag_Back
Ag_Backā€¢2mo ago
No worries. I'm groping in the dark as well. I'm not sure if it's of any relevance, but are your wiring layouts the same on for the JST connectors going to the board. I've different variations depending on which motor it's coming from. Still trying to get somewhere positive with this: https://discordapp.com/channels/582187371529764864/1340069988714676366

If you leave it configured for hybrid and disconnect both Y steppers, what happens when you home X. Not sure if I asked you to do that or not.
guesswhatsthisparlor
guesswhatsthisparlorOPā€¢2mo ago
I did it. It moved like only 1 motor was functioning
chicken

So it moved in X movement or Y as well?

Hmmm Let me check with Mikkel and Helge
chicken
chickenā€¢2mo ago
@guesswhatsthisparlor at quick glance the config seems right.... Lets try a few things.. 1. Trace down the wires again for each of the steppers and what port they are wired to on your MCU 2. can you confirm you are on an octopus MCU? 3. when you try to home, with the two Y hyrbird steppers unplugged, does it looks like both of the corexy steppers are moving? They should both be moving at the same speed if just X is homing. When X is moving to the left, both steppers if I was looking down on the pinion gear would be going counter clockwise. You can see the movement at the front as the set screws on both the corexy steppers will be moving from left to right 4. If they do not seem to be moving at the same speed, maybe you have a defective wire to one of the steppers, a bad stepper or a bad driver for that. An interesting test would be to swap wires between the two coreXY steppers and then remap them in the RatOS configurator. If its stepper driver or a wiring problem I suspect you would see the gantry move forward while you are homing X instead of moving backwards 5. If it still seems like one is not moving or not moving at full speed, I would go as far as disconnecting the coreXY belts and look at the stepper movements to see if they seem be the same without any load on them. Not sure why going Hybrid would make a difference but it might be more effort for the stepper to move the X direction with hybrid on. 6. Even though the config looks like, maybe there is something stuck in the config. How much config do you have in the printer? If not much, it may be worth just reimaging the pi and going straight to hybrid configuration. before you mess with belts and wiring, it might just be best to reimage the pi as I suspect thats less work that messing wires and belts also once you trace down the wires to ports, can we get a close up picture of the MCU and the ports you are plugged into?

The motor x movement while in Hybrid My flatmate helped me by these ones šŸ˜…
chicken
chickenā€¢2mo ago
If those two videos are of the same movement that left coreXY stepper is running at a slower speed. The question is it even moving under its own power or getting dragged along. Hard to tell with the belt on. If you donā€™t have any special configs on the pi I would just reimage the SD card at this point and pick hybrid from the start and see if you somehow found a bug. It seems like electrical and hardware you are fine. Not sure.

Folks - for what it's worth I was able to rectify the independent motion x and y on my hybrid machine. Confusion in the build guide I defaulted to "SPI" mode for the drivers. Waiting for an answer here I decided to clean up some wiring and try out UART mode. The toolhead now moves independently in both the x and y direction, and perhaps more important to me homes to 200,200 and straps out the same off the board. Moving the head to 0,0 puts the toolhead in the front left corner of the bed. I hope the same works for you if you had your jumpers set up the same. SPI - 4 jumpers installed on the right two pins for every driver slot. UART - only the right two pins have a jumper on the second row from the top of each row of driver slots. Bon chance!
chicken
chickenā€¢2mo ago
I didnā€™t think the 2209 drivers worked in SPI mode but maybe. @guesswhatsthisparlor can you confirm the uart jumpers are set correctly as per the docs?

I'm using 5160T Pros In 24V Will change the board for the 48V soon 5160T Pros for X, Y and Hybrid + 2209 for Z
chicken
chickenā€¢2mo ago
5160 are spi only
guesswhatsthisparlor
guesswhatsthisparlorOPā€¢2mo ago
Yep, they're in spi
chicken
chickenā€¢2mo ago
So itā€™s an octopus pro? If so are all the drivers currently jumpered to use the main power supply and not the motor power supply?
guesswhatsthisparlor
guesswhatsthisparlorOPā€¢2mo ago
No. I'm bad at explaining The original board was an octopus pro, but the motor 6 slot wasn't working. I had an octopus 446 as a spare so I'm using it rn Will buy a new octopus pro when I have money again
chicken
chickenā€¢2mo ago
Ahh. All good. At this point if everything is wired up correctly and the jumpers are all set correctly I see a few different next steps to try. It seems like the left coreXY stepper is moving slower than the right. These are the things I would tryā€¦ 1. Reimage the pi and build configuration from scratch as a hybrid printer. This would make sure some gremlin is not stuck in the configuration somewhere 2. If itā€™s still not working, swap the left and right coreXY stepper wires and then remap in ratos. This way we can test if itā€™s the port/driver/wire is the problem or not by using the left wire, driver and port on the right side and visa-versa. If the right becomes the one that slows down we know itā€™s something to do with the port, driver or wire. 3. After all of this itā€™s down to maybe a bad stepper as maybe the problem. Not seen one like that but who knows. Offline for a few hours for a meeting

something else is wrong..... have you made any manual edits to any config files? I assume everything is fully updated on RatOS. If so are you sure you picked the correct octopus board as there are a number with different chips on them and maybe you are getting errors like this if you picked the wrong one. Though I think the MCU would not connect

chicken
chickenā€¢2mo ago
hmm... docs call for updating first then configurator. I know there have been some klipper changes since the image you flashed you printer with and wondering if some of the config changed somehow. https://docs.ratrig.com/v-core-4-0/commissioning-guide. Can you reflash the SD card in the Pi again and follow the doc steps exactly by joining it to your network, then doing the exact upgrades steps in step 2 and then the configurator? everything I see around internal errors are config errors and if you have not changed any files manually it seems like configurator built it wrong and wondering if that was due to your building config before upgrading

We came back to the beginning Y moves normally, but x doesn't :kekw:
chicken
chickenā€¢2mo ago
ugh, at least we are back where we were.... its got to be an electronics issue. Bad stepper, stepper driver, stepper cable or bad port on the octopus. I think the easiest thing at this point is to swap the cables from the left and right corexy steppers and then remap them in the ratos configurator that will tell us if its an electronics issue or not as the movement will be different if it is
guesswhatsthisparlor

@MDFPereira my bad, I did the configurator before the updates
chicken
chickenā€¢2mo ago
you swapped the cables as well correct? if so its moving in a different direction which is a difference. It was going to the left and back and now its going to the right and forward the goal is to try to point to the driver, mcu & cable vs the stepper itself
guesswhatsthisparlor
guesswhatsthisparlorOPā€¢2mo ago
Yes Motor L- Motor 4 Motor R- Motor 0
chicken

on a call and I need to think about the movement being different if that means the stepper or the other parts making it differnt. Give me a hour and I'll see if I can find a few minutes to think about it

guesswhatsthisparlorOPā€¢2mo ago
No problem man Thanks a lot for the help thus far :ratrig_heart:
chicken
chickenā€¢2mo ago
I dont see a good diagram that shows both belt paths on a VC4 but I think this is good enough. I dont know why the gantry is moving in a different direction now, forward and to the right vs backwards and to the left, so we would need to double check the config changes on the swap you made. But either way it shows only the right stepper is moving for some reason as if you look at this diagram, the right stepper moves the toolhead in those directions vs the left one moves it in the opposite direction. Are you Y steppers plugged in right now as I would have suspected they would have held the Y from moving.

chicken
chickenā€¢2mo ago
ok. I am not sure where the issue is and we need to try and figure out what stepper is moving and what one is not. Normally I would use the stepper_buzz command I had you try but you said everything was working. Can you try that again and see if they are still working?

WTH. I have no clue. Go ahead and wire it back how the docs say and remap the steppers back to what the docs say as well including for the hybrid steppers. From there test it again and make sure its doing what it was doing about going back and to the left. From there upload a current debug file and I'll look at the configs again

I accidentally changed the wires. Didn't work. Did them correct and it still doesn't work
chicken
chickenā€¢2mo ago
yah put it all back the correct way then both wires and config. On calls for a few hours and I'll look at the debug again
guesswhatsthisparlor
guesswhatsthisparlorOPā€¢2mo ago
You just translate my bullshit so well :ratrig_heart:
chicken
chickenā€¢2mo ago
one other thing, did you crimp any of the stepper wires or are they premade ones. Can you get me pictures of the left and right stepper plug wires and the left and right where they plug into the MCU so I can check wiring order?
guesswhatsthisparlor
guesswhatsthisparlorOPā€¢2mo ago
Premade crimp for the steppers
chicken
chickenā€¢2mo ago
take pictures of both ends for all four steppers so we can make sure its not a crossed wire. I dont think that explains why it worked in CoreXY mode but its time to turn over every rock to find where your problem is
Wetson
Wetsonā€¢2mo ago
stepper motors are clearly fighting. Could you send a pic of your control board? and a pic of it with the stepper drivers removed? It's almost like one is travelling not as far or has different steps but your config shows the correct steps/mm I think with the reflash and reconfig we've eliminated software issues?
chicken
chickenā€¢2mo ago
I would think with the reflash and reconfig he has eliminated it. Something still seems screwy. I just wonder if one of the plugs is rolled and the stepper is moving in the wrong direction. Still does not explain some of the videos though.
Wetson
Wetsonā€¢2mo ago
There's a problem with the recent vids, he's ran the Y steppers so they are holding it in position This is different than the previous vids where the y steppers were off
Wetson
Wetsonā€¢2mo ago
@guesswhatsthisparlor Can you restart your printer, physically (with your hand) move the extruder to the center of the bed, and follow these steps?
No description
guesswhatsthisparlor
guesswhatsthisparlorOPā€¢2mo ago
I was doing this in the video
Wetson
Wetsonā€¢2mo ago
I know but the difference was your Y stepper motors were enabled I need them off
guesswhatsthisparlor
guesswhatsthisparlorOPā€¢2mo ago
Off as unplugged or off as corexy config?
Wetson
Wetsonā€¢2mo ago
Off as just not powered, by running the M18 command as shown in the image
guesswhatsthisparlor

can you invert the right stepper direcition and then let me know? I know we already tried all the invert combos, but I just wanna try again with the reflash
guesswhatsthisparlor
guesswhatsthisparlorOPā€¢2mo ago
Wetson
Wetsonā€¢2mo ago
w h a t ok yeah so back to being confused uh try physically swapping the motor connectors for left and right
guesswhatsthisparlor
guesswhatsthisparlorOPā€¢2mo ago
Did this before, but why not
Wetson
Wetsonā€¢2mo ago
oh if we've already tried
guesswhatsthisparlor
guesswhatsthisparlorOPā€¢2mo ago
Here
Wetson
Wetsonā€¢2mo ago
oh wait have you tried swapping the physical motor connections but NOT changing it in RatOs>?
guesswhatsthisparlor
guesswhatsthisparlorOPā€¢2mo ago
Not yet Lessgooooooo
Wetson
Wetsonā€¢2mo ago
let's try that :) It will still probably move in the wrong direction but may be some sort of progress which if it matches this chart we can correct
Wetson
Wetsonā€¢2mo ago

Wetson
Wetsonā€¢2mo ago
(note that the 2 images on the right are identical and idk which is which but we'll figure it out lol)
guesswhatsthisparlor
guesswhatsthisparlorOPā€¢2mo ago
Cables swapped, but no edits in RatOS
Wetson
Wetsonā€¢2mo ago
that seems to move smoothly. we may have to do some sort of inversion with the steppers then. The more I read the chart the more I'm confused so I guess we'll try all 4? if that doesn't work then we're at square one :( but I'm still mildly hopeful
guesswhatsthisparlor
guesswhatsthisparlorOPā€¢2mo ago
Uhhhhh
guesswhatsthisparlor
guesswhatsthisparlorOPā€¢2mo ago
First click was x going right, second click was y going back......
guesswhatsthisparlor
guesswhatsthisparlorOPā€¢2mo ago
???????????????????
Wetson
Wetsonā€¢2mo ago
???? w h a t with M18, is it pretty easy to move the gantry around? doesnt snag?
guesswhatsthisparlor
guesswhatsthisparlorOPā€¢2mo ago
Nope
Wetson
Wetsonā€¢2mo ago
wel that could be a problem
guesswhatsthisparlor
guesswhatsthisparlorOPā€¢2mo ago
guesswhatsthisparlor
guesswhatsthisparlorOPā€¢2mo ago
With M18
Wetson
Wetsonā€¢2mo ago
I mean I guess that's smooth enough hm hm hm
guesswhatsthisparlor
guesswhatsthisparlorOPā€¢2mo ago
hm
Wetson
Wetsonā€¢2mo ago
why would it be missing steps... that's so odd. You've retraced the wiring and it all looks happy healthy, swapping stepper drivers maybe? hold on I think I'm stupid no nevermind this isn't idex
guesswhatsthisparlor
guesswhatsthisparlorOPā€¢2mo ago
Nope Is it too rude for @ people at this point?
Wetson
Wetsonā€¢2mo ago
Wouldn't hurt imo :pepehands:

I haven't done a hybrid setup
miklschmidt
miklschmidtā€¢2mo ago
Only one motor is active when you're homing X. That's bad. My guess is you've swapped X1 and Y or Y1. You can fix this in the advanced stepper configuration section in the wizard (On the hardware configuration step).
miklschmidt
miklschmidtā€¢2mo ago
Also it doesn't look like you fixed this
No description
miklschmidt
miklschmidtā€¢2mo ago
I'm worried that may catch the top belt because it moves a ridiculous amount.
TheTik
TheTikā€¢2mo ago
Okay, reading through I think I'd not be of any use. Also have never done a hybrid setup. And so many things have been tried and swapped I'd want to physically rewire it from scratch. Is there any way to verify each stepper driver and stepper movement? Like, is every stepper actually working?
miklschmidt
miklschmidtā€¢2mo ago
stepper_buzz
guesswhatsthisparlor
guesswhatsthisparlorOPā€¢2mo ago
Every stepper buzzes
TheTik
TheTikā€¢2mo ago
I've only used that to verify it it getting power, or to tell which one is which. Does that validate correct movement?
miklschmidt
miklschmidtā€¢2mo ago
Yes, that's not the end what it's useful for though. You need to ensure that the right stepper buzzes. and by right i mean correct y and y1 should buzz the two top motors.
guesswhatsthisparlor
guesswhatsthisparlorOPā€¢2mo ago
Yes, the correct stepper buzzes
miklschmidt
miklschmidtā€¢2mo ago
Are you 100% sure of that? Because only 1 stepper is moving in your videos when you have the hybrid Y's disconnected and you're homing X. Ergo, one of the corexy steppers is not doing anything when it should be.
guesswhatsthisparlor
guesswhatsthisparlorOPā€¢2mo ago
Stepper x
guesswhatsthisparlor
guesswhatsthisparlorOPā€¢2mo ago
Stepper X1
miklschmidt
miklschmidtā€¢2mo ago
Aight then i'm pretty sure your issue is this
No description

miklschmidtā€¢2mo ago
Fix that stack (and possibly others) this is quite bad. If the top flanged bearing moves up to block the top belt you'll get the issue you're currently having.
guesswhatsthisparlor
guesswhatsthisparlorOPā€¢2mo ago
Ok
TheTik
TheTikā€¢2mo ago
Is that tall spacer too short or something?
guesswhatsthisparlor
guesswhatsthisparlorOPā€¢2mo ago
I don't know. I rechecked the instructions and they use one Mini Precision Shim Will search for the missing piece
miklschmidt
miklschmidtā€¢2mo ago
I think it's the wrong spacer these stacks should not move at all in the vertical direction
miklschmidt
miklschmidtā€¢2mo ago
Itā€™s supposed to look like this
No description
miklschmidt
miklschmidtā€¢2mo ago
(Ignore the pulley though)
miklschmidt
miklschmidtā€¢2mo ago
This is misaligned too (however i think it's just the pulley that's too low)
No description
miklschmidt
miklschmidtā€¢2mo ago
You should probably go over all your stacks and get that alignment fixed it'll screw you over down the line. 2/2 bad stacks doesn't bode well for the others lol
guesswhatsthisparlor
guesswhatsthisparlorOPā€¢2mo ago
I think it was a 5x8x4mm aluminium spacer couldn't find it at first pass
miklschmidt
miklschmidtā€¢2mo ago
None of those are 5x8x4
miklschmidt
miklschmidtā€¢2mo ago
That's a 5x8x4
No description
miklschmidt
miklschmidtā€¢2mo ago
5 ID, 8 OD, 4mm tall The fact that your top spacer is too short probably means you've used the longer one where the short one should've gone. Or it's just all switched up, i hope that's not the case šŸ˜‚ (pro tip, keep your calipers handy when doing your bearing stacks, measure your hardware)
chicken
chickenā€¢2mo ago
@guesswhatsthisparlor did you figure out your problem?
guesswhatsthisparlor
guesswhatsthisparlorOPā€¢2mo ago
Hey @chicken. Well I discovered something. For the life of me, I cant't find the 5x8x17mm aluminium spacer. I suspect (not pointing fingers) that RatRig forgot to send me. I was one of the first shipped to Germany and maybe QC didn't caught it. That happened before
chicken
chickenā€¢2mo ago
You sure itā€™s not on one of the other stacks? I would pull both stacks apart and check every spacer with calipers to make sure the stack is correct.
guesswhatsthisparlor
guesswhatsthisparlorOPā€¢2mo ago
Checked everything No 5x8x17 spacer on sight Do you know if you can ask them for an extra one?
MDFPereira
MDFPereiraā€¢2mo ago
Of course you can. And they will send itā€¦

guesswhatsthisparlor
guesswhatsthisparlorOPā€¢3w ago
Well boys I disassembled and put the new part in Assembled it again However, I must have done something wrong, since manually moving the gantry causes only 1 of the X motors to move Let's see The answer is no, nothing changed :sadpepe:

Bottom Left: X (Motor 0) Upper Left: X1 (Motor 4) Bottom Right: Y (Motor 1) Upper Right: Y1 (Motor 3) Results of STEPPER BUZZING x should be the bottom left stepper, x1 the bottom right, y the upper left and y1 the upper right HOLY FUCK IT WORKED HAHDHDHAHDHDHWQHHWDHIOWIODI ITS MOVING That was such a bs solution TLDR: When moving to hybrid mode in the Configurator, it swapped X1 and Y Well, thanks for the help guys:ratrig_heart:
