Hello. I just configured generic_cartesian on a tridex and am having an issue with homing the dual_carriage. T0 (stepper x) homes and then nothing happens for T1 (dual_carriage u). Please let me know if you have any ideas what I did wrong.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to help without logs. Please post the full unmodified log of your attempt.
klippy.log.zip (2.1 MB)
For issues please open a thread in General Discussion with all requested information.
This is the error I am getting âNo trigger on u after full movementâ
Does the extruder move in the correct direction?
T0 does but T1 doesnât move at all when homing. I did a stepper_buzz on T1 and itâs moving in the positive direction. Found that I had to add quotes now for the space to do a stepper buzz. STEPPER_BUZZ STEPPER=stepper" "u

SET_GCODE_OFFSET X=0 Y=0 Z={prev_z_offset} MOVE=1
So you home with G28 X0
Switch over to T0 - again -
But you do no further homing on T1
BTW: There is no need to add a 0 to the direction (like X0) when using G28.
BTW: Why so many empty lines?

Looks like the spaces are from #commented items. I actually removed macros.cfg temporarily to see if they were causing the issue. I was getting an error from idex_home_x since stepper_x doesnât work anymore. âprinter.configfile.config.stepper_x.position_minâ How would I reference this item now?
I see that youâve got quite a custom setup here:
Git version: 'v0.13.0-79-gcc6736c3e-dirty'
Untracked files: klippy/extras/auto_speed.py, klippy/extras/bed_thermal_adjust.py, klippy/extras/gcode_shell_command.py, klippy/extras/manual_rail.py, klippy/extras/multi_fan.py, klippy/extras/rounded_path.py, klippy/extras/tool.py, klippy/extras/tool_probe.py, klippy/extras/tool_probe_endstop.py, klippy/extras/toolchanger.py, (+2 files)
Alas, these modifications could very well conflict with the latest Klipper changes. At least, there are no guarantees that they donât. As such, unfortunately there is no reasonable way to debug the issue. Youâd need to make a fresh clean install of Klipper without modifications and reproduce the problem there.
FWIW, I tested generic_cartesian kinematics on my cartesian printer with dual_carriage, and it seems to be working fine, also the hybrid kinematics was tested previously by other community members and it was working fine, however it is possible that some latest changes broke it. But the only way to debug it is to test the clean Klipper installation.
For this, you can reference them as printer.configfile.config['carriage x'].position_min or, alternatively, though not 100% functionally equivalent, as printer.toolhead.axis_minimum.x (and similarly, printer.toolhead.axis_maximum.x), also note that for generic_cartesian the limits are updated correctly when switching the carriages, which isnât the case for cartesian and hybrid_corexy kinematics.
Also, an alternative (but still requiring quotes) is
STEPPER_BUZZ STEPPER='stepper u'

I am running a Tridex Awd and had to modify Hybrid CoreXY to have the extra steppers. When I was testing the new generic_cartesian setup I did a soft recovery of klipper and everything was current. Also disabled the extra steppers and macros. I am sure I messed up something with the printer.cfg.

What I posted is an excerpt from your log (the latest entry for that matter). So whatever you did to recover the Klipper installation with git, apparently did not help. You should get to the state where git reports a clean Klipper state. The easiest way to do that would be to reinstall Klipper installation via Kiauh. And the configs you posted do not have very obvious issues at least that would prevent dual_carriage homing.
Thank you. I will give that a try.
Did you have any luck configuring the kinematics?
I have not had a chance to install a clean version of klipper yet but did experiment with the print.cfg file. Originally if I homed just the x-axis, stepper x (T0) was homing but stepper u (T1) wasnât even activating and would just time out. Y-axis homing worked fine. If I change stepper u carriages from u+y to just u, x-axis would home fine but y-axis T1 would drift to the left. N1_3D has a similar setup to mine. Curious to see what they did.
Hi everyone,
Iâm getting the following error when starting Klipper:
Option âmicrostepsâ in section âdual_carriage vâ must be specified
The strange thing is: I have the microsteps option defined in the [dual_carriage v] section of my config, so this error shouldnât happen.
Iâve double-checked the spelling and indentation, and everything seems correct. Could this be a parsing issue or a problem with how Klipper loads that section?
Has anyone else experienced this?

A lot of the config is from you @mandela64
Thanks in advance!
