Awsome...thank you...im in process of switching my cnc to duet...this came in handy!

@SIam thanks for the info. Just to add im not using it for printing only as a CNC router

@OwenD Ok thanks for confirmation. Cheers,

@Danal said in Store and recall WCS offsets?:

Note: This does not appear to be working (yet) in RRF3.

I presume you mean RRF3 on Duet 3 with attached RPi? It should be working in standalone mode and on Duet 2.

Good clarification. Yes, RRF3 on D3+Pi was the test environment where it puts in a comment but no actual G commands. I'm presuming from the comment that the rest of the code will come to that environment soon.

Oh,thank you.

For tax purposes before midnight I went ahead and ordered another Duet 2. If CNC mode and polar kinematics don't play well together at least I've got another board for a printer.

Perfect! That was the keyword I am looking for. Steps/mm? I looked in the config and didn't recognized the setting. After you named it I saw it immediately.
Now the travel distance is perfect!

Thank you so much for the speed help!
Best regards,
Gerd

@dc42 On further investigation I have discovered the (syntax) error. Sorry, my bad. I overlooked the "S" before the RMP. I have tested and M3 S20000 or M3 S10000, etc work fine. So all good now. Thanks again for your help. Cheers,

Check your clearance height etc. Not sure about aspire, but F360 wants to lift the spindle 10mm by default.

As Ooznest had video and guide only for CNC xPro (apparently that changed recently) I haven’t looked into Ooznest macros to be honest.

As you pointed to M585 command I have tried that now with successful stop at the plate, exactly what I need! I will have a look at that macro to learn how they deal with tool offset vs. wcs offset.

Thank you for showing me the way @jannau and @danal !

please read the guide

@eduardschlegel said in right motor for a cnc:

one last question, can I drive the two x-axis motors over the Z1 and Z2 connector

Yes. However, that will "split" the current between the motors, or, if you prefer "double load" the driver chip.

MUCH better to put them on separate drivers, and configure those as one axis in duet (like X3:4).

thank you, this is resolve

When Adrian Bowyer was developing the first firmware for the Duet, I tried to get him to put a bullseye similar to Pronterface's into RepRapFirmware, to make it easier for people transitioning from Pronterface! Never happened...

@rzi said in Any progress with variables / parameters?:

Sounds super! Not that far away then. Are you planning to do a similar implementation as in: http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/gcode/overview.html#_parameters

Or are you heading in some other direction?

Best regards
Rickard

I looked at the linuxcnc implementation, and it's horrible. There is another thread on this topic in which I linked to the draft specification of what I am implementing.

@vwegert without checking the datasheet i guess that pin defaults to high and the firmware enables an internal pull down. If you want to prevent it going high then try an external pull down resistor. 4K7-10K should do it.

(please test without Z probe in position to be flung)!

Thanks Paddy. I'll try that

@T3P3Tony Thanks, that worked.

I also added the M302, because I like redudancy.

Sure appreciate it!

You can set position as shown above.

-or-

Best practice for endstops is to wire each switch "Normally closed" and set the configuration M574 blah blah S1, where "S1" is "Active High". This allows the detection of a broken wire or connector (the endstop will appear triggered).

For setup, before you even have endstops wired, invert this. Set the M574 S0. This will cause the endstops to appear triggered all the time... this will cause a home (G28 or similar) to instantly complete with no errors. After the machine thinks it is homed, you can move, etc.

I use this trick a lot when setting up new machines.

Just don't forget to put M574 back to S1 when you do actually wire the switches. And always test them with your finger (observing the web interface, or M119) before you do the first home.

Thanks for your suggestions--much appreciated.
