    Quentin managed to fix this.
    I had the X/Y motors swapped around.
    X is the top wheel and Y the bottom.
    I have tried to swop the 2 around before, but forgot to also swop the endstop sensors around.

    Could someone please post the following values:
    1. When you press the Home button on pronterface it dumps a whole lot of values.
    2. The output from M114 after you’ve run M360.
    3. The output from M114 after you’ve run G0 X100 Y100
    I want to compare it to what I’m getting.
    Thanks

    I’ve tried that, but then the arms go in completely the opposite direction when I home it.
    It beginning to suspect that both motors step at different sizes.

    For some reason my jogging moves in arcs.
    Thus from home, jogging X to 200 moves in an arc and ends up right next to the pipe.
    Y does the same, but wants to end up somewhere on the other side of the pipe

    I’m having similar issues.
    M360 works fine and sends Theta to 0.
    M361 and M363 (Theta 90) seems to go somewhere behind the middle of the platform. Obviously it can’t as there is a brass pipe in the way.
    So here are my questions.
    1. Which way is jogging with X+/- and Y+/- supposed to move the printhead? Away or towards the platform? Left or right?
    2. Is moving X and Y in pronterface supposed to move the head in a straight line?

    Thanks

    I couldn’t edit my previous post.
