My X & Y motors have completely stopped working (Z is fine)
and I’m getting this error message:
Proforge>Tools>Home>Confirm
Error:Printer halted. kill() called!
anyone have an idea what’s going on?
Question
I’ve recently upgraded to the TMC2208’s and the bed will no longer home in the centre. Looking through the marlin firmware I can see that the X & Y clearly state the old TMC1200.
if upgrading to the new TMC2208’s does the firmware need to updated?
Further to the Facebook post have you run a home command in pronterface to see what error comes up?
Hi Antony,
The Z works fine, but wen I home a red alarm pop up box appears with the same error code that previously came up on the printer touchscreen. And the only thing that comes up on pronterface is:
23:04:37.844 : N16 G28*36
23:04:49.066 : Error:Printer halted. kill() called!
I just want to check a couple of things on mine but it's early into a 24 hour print at the moment and due to daddytaxi I won't get chance until Saturday afternoon. Sorry but I appreciate that it's rustrating!
Absolutely fine, I’m just appreciative of any help!
Frustrating. Doh. Fat fingers...
Check your X and Y endstops. Could be from failing to trigger them during homing, or them shorting out when triggered.
Hi Dataris. Yes good suggestion! I did actually think of this a few days ago so I did actually check. But I think I’ve actually found the issue with the 2 x TMC2100’s not working. I had a new TMC2208 that was a spare so tried it, and it worked! I’ve now ordered another to replace the TMC2100.
