Large Delta printer not homing on an original duet Maestro
-
im using a duet 2.
what do you mean by "per your meter" ?
im not so familiar with all the terms. -
When you measured continuity.
You want the pins that HAVE continuity when the switch is NOT pressed, and therefore that BREAK continuity when the switch is pressed. This is "normally closed", meaning "normally with continuity"
-
oh, right im doing that right now, do i need to change something in the files or just adjust the wires?
-
Adjust the wires to be NC, then the S1 should work.
Once you have it adjusted, check this again.
-
alright we are getting someware
the exruder also has an endstop, should it also be No when i havent loaded any filament?
right now it is saying Yes but i havent loaded filament. the extruder doesnt have the same endstop as the axes so i will have to buy one for it aswell. -
The extruder doesn't really need an endstop. You can use it as a trigger for something else like a filament monitor or runout switch, but it's not required.
-
noted. so now when i press the X endstop it doesnt turn Yes while the Y and Z turn Yes. does it mean the X endstop is busted?
-
possibly. What does it show on your multimeter? Double check your crimps and wire continuity.
-
Yay, that is progress!
And, yes, pursue what @Phaedrux said...
-
i did the crimps again on X and it seems to work i guess ?
when i press X, index 0 is Yes
when Y, index 2 is Yes
when Z, index 1 is yesdoes that mean that i have the X Y and Z wrong ?

does that mean that i have the X Y and Z wrong ?Looks like you have the Y and Z endstop wires swapped over.
-
but does it really matter though? because when the endstop triggers for a particular axis, it only registers it for that one or not?
-
It's vital that the X (index 0) endstop is on the same tower as the carriage that moves up 10mm when you send G91 G1 H2 X10. Likewise the Y (index 1) endstop must be on the same tower as the carriage that moves up when you send G1 H2 Y10; and similarly for index 3 and Z. Otherwise, when an endstop is triggered it will stop the wrong motor.

the red diag LED is lit, green blue and other red is also lit, but the board is not connecting to the web interface

i dont understand..... why is the board not responding on YAT ??? are these boards this fragile?

The Duet series boards are extremely reliable. On the other hand, Windows USB support, to this day, is not totally reliable.
Anyway... The most common cause for not being able to connect to the USB port is the cable. Try a different one.
Also, when you plug/unplug the USB to the printer, does a serial port appear and disappear in Device Manager? Be sure that is the port that YAT is opening.
-
it isnt responding to my commands
-
Can you power it off, pull the SD card, and try again?
-
still nothing
-
Also... that shows 9600 baud. This should be 115200
Configure YAT as per: https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Guide/1.)+Getting+Connected+to+your+Duet/7#s6
