I cant swap the endstop (y axis)

Here is where it works,

# Endstops
endstops_enable                              true             # the endstop module is enabled by default and can be disabled here
#corexy_homing                               false            # set to true if homing on a hbit or corexy
alpha_min_endstop                            1.24^            # add a ! to invert if endstop is NO connected to ground
#alpha_max_endstop                            1.25^            # NOTE set to nc if this is not installed
alpha_max_endstop                            nc
alpha_homing_direction                       home_to_min      # or set to home_to_max and set alpha_max
alpha_min                                    0                # this gets loaded after homing when home_to_min is set
alpha_max                                    200              # this gets loaded after homing when home_to_max is set
beta_min_endstop                             1.26^            #
#beta_max_endstop                             1.27^            #
beta_max_endstop                             nc           #
beta_homing_direction                        home_to_min      #
beta_min                                     0                #
beta_max                                     200              #
gamma_min_endstop                            1.28^            #
#gamma_max_endstop                            1.29^            #
gamma_max_endstop                            nc          #
gamma_homing_direction                       home_to_min      #
gamma_min                                    0                #
gamma_max                                    180              #

but I need the endstop at max not min for y-axis.
ALL I am changing is the beta section to

#beta_min_endstop                             1.26^            #
beta_min_endstop                               nc
beta_max_endstop                             1.27^            #
#beta_max_endstop                             nc           #
beta_homing_direction                        home_to_max      #
beta_min                                     0                #
beta_max                                     200              #

I have tried leaving the min values in, removing them, leaving nc in and removing that, a copy of a clean endstops config and just changing the home_to_max, but everything I try the board just refuses to reboot

all the SB does is click and wont switch on with just a flashing red light
I have to remove the sd card, put it in a micro to sd adaptor then put it in my laptop and edit the config.
after doing this about 30 times tonight I am starting to thing the biggest selling point of the SB with the config on SD is a PITA

anyone have any ideas why its not working, and is there a way to see any sort of log when the board wont boot at all after a config edit ?

This is most probably a file format or hidden character issue.

Can you try getting a fresh configuration file from the website, and -only- modifying the beta axis stuff, and see if it then works ?

Can you email the config file to wolf.arthur@gmail.com ?

Thanks.

Hi arthurwolf

I have tried a new config from the web site and backup copies.

Its always the same, as soon as i change to home_to_max the board wont boot and i cant see any way of tracing why as there are no logs or anything to check.

Can you email me the latest configuration file, as it is when Smoothie crashes ?

Thanks.

Hi arthurwolf

well I finally found the problem.

while look at the config in notepad with wrap I noticed this line.
home_to_min # or set to home_to_max and set alpha_max

I have now set the endstops as this, and it works

  1. Endstops

endstops_enable true # the endstop module is enabled by default and can be disabled here
#corexy_homing false # set to true if homing on a hbit or corexy
alpha_min_endstop 1.24^ # add a ! to invert if endstop is NO connected to ground
#alpha_max_endstop 1.25^ # NOTE set to nc if this is not installed
alpha_max_endstop nc
alpha_homing_direction home_to_min # or set to home_to_max and set alpha_max
alpha_min 0 # this gets loaded after homing when home_to_min is set
alpha_max 200 # this gets loaded after homing when home_to_max is set
beta_min_endstop nc #
#beta_min_endstop 1.26^ #
beta_max_endstop 1.27^ #
beta_homing_direction home_to_max #
#beta_min 0 # <-----
beta_max 200 #
gamma_min_endstop 1.28^ #
#gamma_max_endstop 1.29^ #
gamma_max_endstop nc
gamma_homing_direction home_to_min #
gamma_min 0 #
gamma_max 180 #

you have to rem out the beta_min for some reason
