Endstop always triggered. HELP!

My x min endstop is always reporting 1 both through my Viki2 panel probe/status or through a host with M119. I checked my wiring and config. The other endstops are working as expected. I add a pin header to the xmax pins, changed xmin pin from 1.24^ - 1.25^ and I had the same problem? Is something wrong with my board? I have a z probe installed, tried it with Z probe enabled and disabled. Anything else I can check? Thanks for your help.

  1. Endstops

endstops_enable true # the endstop module is enabled by default and can be disabled here
#corexy_homing false # set to true if homing on a hbit or corexy
alpha_min_endstop 1.25^ # add a ! to invert if endstop is NO connected to ground
alpha_max_endstop nc # NOTE set to nc if this is not installed
alpha_homing_direction home_to_min # or set to home_to_max and set alpha_max
alpha_min 0 # this gets loaded after homing when home_to_min is set
alpha_max 375 # this gets loaded after homing when home_to_max is set
beta_min_endstop 1.26^ #
beta_max_endstop nc #
beta_homing_direction home_to_min #
beta_min 0 #
beta_max 375 #
gamma_min_endstop 1.28^ #
gamma_max_endstop nc #
gamma_homing_direction home_to_min #
gamma_min 0 #
gamma_max 300 #

  1. optional order in which axis will home, default is they all home at the same time,
  2. if this is set it will force each axis to home one at a time in the specified order

homing_order XYZ #
x axis followed by y then z last

  1. optional enable limit switches, actions will stop if any enabled limit switch is triggered

#alpha_limit_enable false # set to true to enable X min and max limit switches
#beta_limit_enable false # set to true to enable Y min and max limit switches
#gamma_limit_enable false # set to true to enable Z min and max limit switches

alpha_fast_homing_rate_mm_s 50 # feedrates in mm/second
beta_fast_homing_rate_mm_s 50 # "
gamma_fast_homing_rate_mm_s 4 # "
alpha_slow_homing_rate_mm_s 25 # "
beta_slow_homing_rate_mm_s 25 # "
gamma_slow_homing_rate_mm_s 2 # "

alpha_homing_retract_mm 5 # distance in mm
beta_homing_retract_mm 5 # "
gamma_homing_retract_mm 5 # "

#endstop_debounce_count 100 # uncomment if you get noise on your endstops, default is 100

  1. optional Z probe

zprobe.enable true # set to true to enable a zprobe
zprobe.probe_pin 1.28^ # pin probe is attached to if NC remove the !
zprobe.slow_feedrate 5 # mm/sec probe feed rate
#zprobe.debounce_count 100 # set if noisy
zprobe.fast_feedrate 100 # move feedrate mm/sec
zprobe.probe_height 6 # how much above bed to start probe
#gamma_min_endstop nc # normally 1.28. Change to nc to prevent conflict,

  1. associated with zprobe the leveling strategy to use

leveling-strategy.three-point-leveling.enable true # a leveling strategy that probes three points to define a plane and keeps the Z parallel to that plane
leveling-strategy.three-point-leveling.point1 0.0,0.0 # the first probe point (x,y) optional may be defined with M557
leveling-strategy.three-point-leveling.point2 300.0,0.0 # the second probe point (x,y)
leveling-strategy.three-point-leveling.point3 300.0,300.0 # the third probe point (x,y)
leveling-strategy.three-point-leveling.home_first true # home the XY axis before probing
leveling-strategy.three-point-leveling.tolerance 0.03 # the probe tolerance in mm, anything less that this will be ignored, default is 0.03mm
leveling-strategy.three-point-leveling.probe_offsets 44,0,0 # the probe offsets from nozzle, must be x,y,z, default is no offset
leveling-strategy.three-point-leveling.save_plane true # set to true to allow the bed plane to be saved with M500 default is false

What type of endstop do you have, and how exactly did you wire it ?

mechanical switch type. I wired as instructed in the 3D printer guide. C - Signal , NC - Ground. AHA! Which means I probably have a broken wire (like it says in the guide (love the guides)).
Yup, just tested the Y endstop on the x pins and it works fine.

THANKS!
