Firmware update, lost a hotend... Newbie config problem.

Qwelldrin_765

Hi Guys,
I thought the configs for my heater and hotends were contained in the "machine_ktana_tools.g" file.
However I now only see a single extruder in the Settings tool section, I am sure I have just missed something but this has worked well on older firmware. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

You're going to have to give us a lot more information to work with.

https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/5909/guide-for-posting-requests-for-help

What board, what firmware were you running before, what firmware are you using now? What is the printer? Post your entire config file set from before and after.

We're not psychic magicians.

Hi,
Thanks for taking the time to look into this
Duet 2 Maestro.
Old firmware 2.02
New Firmware Release 3.01-RC12
Duet Web Control 2.1.0
Printer M3D Promega
Core XY
Nozzles Dual K'Tana.

I know some of these will not be compatible with the latest firmware but I would like to start by identifying why both extrudes are not identified.

Most of your configuration is in those macros.

You've upgraded to RRF3, which requires quite a bit of reworking of the config syntax to work. I would suggest that you go back to firmware 2.05.1 for the time being to get your printer back up and running and then start reading up on what's required to go to RRF3. If you want to keep the existing config style from M3d with multiple nested macros, you'll have to gain a good understanding of what they are doing and then figure out what you need to change. Alternatively, you can use the online configurator and get a config.g that would work with RRF3 provided you give it the right info about your printer. Even then you may need to do some manual configuration depending on how your printer is setup.

Hi,
So I had some time at home and wanted to get a working version of RRF3.
Nows a good time to delv into the RepRap firmware being much more used to Marlin.
I appreciate there are lots of Macros and I will remove some where possible, but do they really prevent the detection of the second hot end if I define the bed size or stepper currents incorrectly.

Or is it a case that it would need to bug check the whole config before it will use the new config.
As the definition of the tools is in the "Pmachine_ktana_tools" then this is where I would look for an issue of not defining the 2nd Tool.

M98 Pmachine_endstoptypes.g ; set endstop types
Defines the Endstop type mechanical or IR.

M98 Pmachine_steppercurrent.g ; set stepper currents
Defines current to the steppers

M98 Pmachine_stepperspeed.g ; set stepper speeds
Defines speeds Jerk and acceleration

M98 Pmachine_axisdimension.g ; configure the axes dimensions
Sets the Min and Max axis Dimensions

M98 Pmachine_axissteps.g ; configure the axes steps per mm
Defines the number of steps per 1mm

M98 Pmachine_extruderstep.g ; configure the extruder steps
Defines the extruder steps

I believe there can only be 2 places where there is a problem.

Send M98 Pconfig.g in the gcode console. It will run config.g and you can see if any error messages are generated.

Having the config files split to multiple macros is fine, but the syntax of the individual commands will need to satisfy RRF3 formatting.

Qwelldrin_765

@Phaedrux Thanks mate, I am on the right track now, I can see clearly that the old M305 commands need changing to M308 and a few other changes.
The only thing that really concerns me and maybe you can advise is the last.
M98 PCONFIG.G
Error: Invalid Z probe type 4
Error: Invalid Z probe index
Error: endstop type 0 is no longer supported. Use type 1 and invert the input pin instead.

Ok so this is covered in the M574 command on the RepRapFirmware 3 overview.
My question is, is that a physical change or just a firmware assignment change to invert the pin?. Thanks.

Phaedrux

Should just be a firmware change I think, but I can't see the offending gcode because you haven't posted it yet, so I'm not exactly sure what it is complaining about.

For M574 S0 isn't a think anymore. To invert the pin you need to use ! in your M950 command that defines the pin.
