I am setting up my V-Minion right now and homing x and y works perfectly fine but Z does not move at all. Not sure what the problem is.
I also added my printer.cfg
Hope you guys are able to help me ty in advance.

Your config seems to indicate an inductive probe. Does the light turn on/off when you hold metal to it?

I got the super pinda from the rat rig shop I will try the metal

#

the light turns off when i hold metal to it

#

changed the printer.cfg to superpinda.cfg instead of probe.cfg but still no lockl

#

And you checked by holding metal to it and running QUERY_ENDSTOPS or refreshing the status in the Machine tab? @uneven shuttle

#

It's not just because your probe is too high relative to the nozzle?

#

I completely missed this for some reason: fine but Z does not move at all.

#

That's probably what we should be looking at, and not your probe facepalm sorry

#

Does it move when you run SET_CENTER_KINEMATIC_POSITION and press the up / down arrows in Mainsail?

#

If no, check that your Z stepper cable is properly connected and properly crimped in both ends (verify with the wiring diagram).

okay i have no clue what just happend i switched to stepperdriver slot to motor 3 and turned the printer on and then the toolhead started to smoke. I cut power immidiatly

I mean what component

uneven shuttle
#

not sure

I think it's safe to say you have some wiring issues 😄 post some pictures, so we can help you sort it out and replace the part that let out the magic smoke 😄

alright i will take some pictures

#

i am using a sanyo 4028 for part cooling and a noctua for hotend also orbiter filament sensor

dawn gate
#

what is that single yellow wire in the endstop for?

uneven shuttle
#

It’s from the orbiter filament sensor

#

Okay something precious must have fried my board that’s also probably the cause for the z Motor not working

#

*previous

#

It did turn on afterwards and everything so maybe only the slot is dead

stray schooner
#

It does look like that happened to z0 slot too

#

Hard to determine the damage from here. Could just be the step stick.

#

okay so what do i do from here?

yep... board looks like it simply saw the extension of a stepstick burning up...board looks like it's just the receptor of the stepstick chip explosion and odds are it's ok BUT PAYOR...board might just fry a newly inserted new stepstick
