V-Minion Z-Axis won´t move when trying to home.
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.

What probe?
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
so far so good
And you checked by holding metal to it and running QUERY_ENDSTOPS or refreshing the status in the Machine tab? @freddimura
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 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).genetic-orange•2y ago
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
The toolhead started to smoke? From what exactly?
I mean what component

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 😄

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
this isn't inserted correctly, so that'll fry it.
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?
New driver / new board. Maybe both.
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

Okay I’ll get a new board I got some spare drivers thanks for the help!!
