Negative coordinates in Sculpfun S30 Ultra

I tried a lot of things I read about this problem but I can’t fix it. When I press Home my machine tries to go to top right but stops and send “ALARM: 8. Error returning to 0. The cycle failed to clear the limit switch upon retraction. Try increasing the retraction setting or check the wiring.”. My limit switchs are fine so I don’t know if I need to do something about that, I’m pretty new with this type of machines.

I tried to use “User origin” and that works fine, it goes to X0, Y0 in bottom left, but when I tried to move it on any direction the coordinates are negative. The programm don’t let me frame (the button didn’t do anything if I click it) and if I try to set a finish position manually the programm said the position is outside the workplace.

I don’t know what to do.

Do not use that, it has nothing to do with real positioning. Never use user origin if you do not have a specific use case for it.

Your firmware settings basically look correct for a S30 Ultra. The first thing to check is if you connected the cables correctly. What happens if you use the arrow buttons? Do they move in expected directions?

The workspace size is set incorrectly in your firmware, so I recommend to first reset it, using $RST=* in the console window. Then check the movement and homing again. Also make sure to set the origin to bottom left in device settings.
