Jittery motor when homing is used on Pronterface

Controllers Smoothie
1

Hello!

Ive just recently started using the smoothie board and a few days ago I put all my end stops in place and my motors homed perfectly when I tried but now when I ask them to home ( all 3 axes) they start to jitter and when I click the end stop they sometimes continue normally or the just continue to jitter until I press the endstop again. ( All this using the pronterface.exe)

The strange part is that when using the " move 100mm" or any other command the motors respond 99% of the time perfectly without any problems.
Ive tried to read the documentation without any success.

cheers,

Hey.

Sounds like you need to decrease your homing rates/speeds a lot.

Try that and tell us if it helps.

Cheers :slight_smile:

Thanks! I didnt know that the homing had a feed rate. I thought that when I calibrated the axis speed the homing would follow.

cheers,
