Duet2Wifi - Burnt the E0 controller
-
Hi all,
A few months ago, I bought our first 3d printer. I did some research and decided, price-wise, on an Ender3 Pro.
It was an instant success. I was in love. After some time, I felt I wanted to upgrade the motherboard. I really loved the web UI of the Duet and felt it was a good way forward.I did not do my research very well in this respect.
I found a guide to upgrade an ender3pro with a Duet Maestro. When purchasing the Duet card, I decided it would be better to get the Duet2 Wifi instead. Not sure if this is a mistake or not.
I ordered some additional upgrades (fillament end switch and a 3dtouch), to make the experience complete.
Come the installation. A bit stressed. The printer is cheap, but not that cheap. The board is not cheap, I really didn't want to mess things up.
Despite this, I did continue with the maestro tutorial and didn't look for a duet2WiFi tutorial. I think I made all the right extrapolations to make the right connections on the board. I did print a copy of the pin layout of the duet2Wifi to make sure I'm connecting all the right things
After a week of intermittant tinkering, I was confident the setup was fine. I double checked all the wires and double checked all the connectors.
Another thing may be worth mentioning is that I went with the direct extruder set-up. In order to be able to mount the extruder stepper motor on the hotend, I had to extend the supply wire. I extended the supply wire with dupont connectors and some loose wires from a cat6 ethernet cable.
I checked the polarity of the stepper motor at least 6 times at the connector to the board to make sure the polarity was correct. I read I could fry the stepper motor if I was not careful and had interchanged pins.Come the configuration.
I went through the configurator and compared the result with what I found online was a good idea for the Ender3 and with the configuration that was used for the maestro (I did notice the differences in the termomisters).Come the testing. I started up the device and all looked well. A nice web interface and after a few hours I got the ender3 homing in the right direction, without the 3dtouch. I'd configure it later. The fan test passed, the heating test failed with the macro (only bed heating worked), but when I activated the hot-end manually and tested it's heating, that worked as well. Sweet. I got a hot hot-end. Let's see if the extruder turns in the right direction.
Extruder +10.
poof - whisp of smoke rises from the board
I can see the chip that says E0 now has a white burn mark.The web interface had this to say:
Error: short-to-ground reported by driver(s) 3
Error: short-to-ground reported by driver(s) 3
Warning: high temperature reported by driver(s) 3
Error short-to-ground reported by driver(s) 3
Error: over temperature shutdown reported by driver(s) 3
Warning: high temperature reported by driver(s) 3All-in-all this took 1-2 seconds. At the moment I had no idea what was going on.
At this point I'm hoping I'm still going to be able to use the E1 stepper and still be able to use the board, but before I continue, I want to make certain I'm not breaking that one as well.
What went wrong?

@fraksken It sounds like the wiring on your extruder motor could be different from the Duet stepper output. If you have a multimeter check which pins on the connector the two coils are connected to (there will be a low resistance between two pins):
-
I've scheduled the wires to meet the pins in this picture
There indeed is a low resistance between two pins. I'm currently reading 4.2Ohm on both of the phases. -
If you're confident you've identified the phase pairs of the motor and you're following that image to connect them you should be good to go.
What it wired differently the first time?

Hi @Phaedrux,
No, I was very careful to map out the 2 phases before connecting anything. I've must have confirmed about 6 times I was connecting the right wires.
Looks like I'll be making another attempt on E1 next time I'm getting to it.
I will report back. -
So I finally had some time to look at the printer again.
I've moved the connector from E0 to E1, adjusted the parameters in the config file and tested again.
This worked, no problems. The extruder was extruding.
Could it have been a faulty solder on the board? -

Post some photos. Poor solder on the pins of the socket has happened before and would be quite noticeable, though it's quite rare.

Hi @Phaedrux
I've opened up the case and took a picture of the chip.
hope it'll bring some clarity.Thanks for looking into this.

Yes that's definitely a burnt out driver chip.
If you are using a single extruder you can map the spare extruder driver instead.
Instead of
M584 X0 Y1 Z2 E3
it would beM584 X0 Y1 Z2 E4And add
M569 P4 S0and set S0 or S1 to match the correct direction of the extruder.
