    Best to revert to / compare against the backup you took when it was working, to see what has been changed

    After many hours of wasted effort I can not get auto square to work. Now I am not sure it ever worked correctly. Now I have done something and the command line is no longer available. I am ready to switch to another controller and send this one back. Frustration level X10+.

    Z homes correctly, X homes correctly, Y hits the first limit- does not back off then alarms that second limit is not found. what would cause Y not to back off when it hits the limit?

    Haven't run a auto-squaring setup in a while bit possibly because it fails to find/activate the 2nd switch (might do backoff after both has been "seek"ed?

    You are using mechanical switches on the parallel input?

    Are sure you flashed Auto-squaring build?

    Homing sequences ($44-46) set correctly?

    $43=1 ; Homing passes
    $44=4 ; Homing cycle 1
    $45=3 ; Homing cycle 2
    $46=0 ; Homing cycle 3
    where do I find the documentation for these settings?

    Send $$=?? where ?? = the number of parameter you are interested in (onboard help for each parameter) as well as https://github.com/grblHAL/core/wiki (in particular https://github.com/grblHAL/core/wiki/Additional-or-extended-settings for the core settings (some plugins has their own settings/m-codes/g-codes and own documentation too)

    The numbers is an axismask for any axis selection. X=1, Y=2, Z=4 (So for example $45=3 means 2+1 = X+Y at the same time, and $44=4 mean 4=Z = Z on its own)


    Z then XY

    Should work, but as a test, do Y on its own
    $44=4 (Z first)
    $45=1 (then X)
    $46=2 (then Y)

    Please confirm:
    Also, does clicking Y2's switch by hand light up Z as it should, in troubleshooting tab?
