New experimental firmware 1.19beta10

Yonkiman

My M666 command wasn't "taking" because I put it before my original block of mechanical configuration commands, one of which was [c]M666 X0 Y0 Z0 ; put your endstop adjustments here, or let auto calibration find them[/c]. So the first M666 was just getting clobbered (PEBCAK).
I was also wrong about the issue at the end of a print. I'd switched printing profiles to one that (I didn't notice this at the time) didn't have an ending script with a Z raise. Then when the print finished without moving the head off the print, I looked at the gcode console and saw the "Can't delete" error, so I assumed they were related, and then I managed to look at the wrong gcode when I was "confirming".

Dave, one of these days I swear I'm going to stop wasting your time and actually be helpful… I really appreciate your patience.

No problem!

@dc42:

Please can you check a few things:

1. Is the maximum Z speed in your M201 command in config.g achievable?

2. Are you certain that you have the motors connected to the driver outputs in the order listed? Bear in mind that the order of driver outputs along the edge of the Duet is 2 1 0 3 4 (i.e. Z Y X E0 E1) not 0 1 2 3 4.

3. Can you see the leadscrews moving by about the correct amount, in the correct direction?

1. I halved all the vales and retested with same result:

M566 Z12
M203 Z200
M201 Z125

2. Yes, rechecked again.

3. All lead screws move in the wrong direction. I do estimate they turn about what it says but in the wrong direction…
Edit: If you look at the result from my last post it shows the test probing confirms that they all turn the wrong way on my printer...

M569 P0 S0 ; Drive 0 Z
M569 P1 S0 ; Drive 1 Z
M569 P2 S0 ; Drive 2 Z
M569 P3 S0 ; Drive 3 E0
M569 P4 S0 ; Drive 4 E1
M569 P5 S1 ; Drive 5 Y
M569 P6 S1 ; Drive 6 V
M569 P7 S1 ; Drive 7 X
M569 P8 S1 ; Drive 8 U
M569 P9 S1 ; Drive 9

```Edit 2: In your test was M569 PX S0 or S1?

Hi Lars, I think you are right, I had the corrections in the wrong direction. Please try DuetWiFiFirmware 1.19beta10+4, available at https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/19369680/DuetWiFiFirmware.bin.

```I do believe its working!
I guess it might offset the center point from Z=0 if it is not on the plane made up of the 3 probings? I included it as a fourth point to minimize this but I guess one could include a rehome of Z in the bed.g…?

I'm glad this is working at last. Thanks for your patience!

The algorithm minimises the sum of the squares of the height errors at the probe points. So if the bed centre is not on the plane - either because the bed is not flat or (more usually) because the gantry flexes enough to allow the head to droop a little around the centre, then it will upset Z=0 at the centre. To correct it, you can add a single G30 command in bed.g to probe the bed centre after doing leadscrew compensation. Including probe points near the centre of the bed as you have done will also help.

I want to give the bed leveling feature a try.
I remember reading about this in another thread, on how to assign the second Z motor, but I can't find it in search.

If memory serves…
I connect the second Z motor to the E1 port of the board. I assign it in config.g with P4. And then the 2nd Z motor would be identified as "U". Is this correct?
Also, would I need to replace the jumper back into the Z2 port on the board when it's empty?

If this is a redundant question I apologize. If so, if someone recalls that conversation could they please post a link?

Thanks

dc42

See https://duet3d.com/wiki/Bed_levelling_using_multiple_independent_Z_motors. You will need firmware 1.19beta10+4. If your board is a Duet WiFi you can get it via the link I posted 4 replies up.

In summary, you don't configure the extra Z drive as U, and you do need to replace the jumpers in the second Z motor socket.

Nice! Will give the leveling a try as soon as I have time.

And I have that extra U axis working so well

David, I must say I'm impressed by your development pace and how quickly you respond to our issues!

Thanks!

The difference between the Series 2 Duets and other open-source controller boards is that the profits we make on the Duets fund development, support and a generous warranty replacement policy. So I can afford to work almost full time on Duet development and support. Most other open-source boards rely on volunteers.

Hello,

How do we download version 1.19beta10 + 4 for Duet Ethernet?

There is only 1.19beta10 + 2

a greeting

dc42

If you can wait until tomorrow, I will release beta 11.

Ok perfect. That is good news

Eddiie

Did something change that would affect the Z height of my delta between earlier betas before beta 9?
In beta 9 I tweaked the Z probe offset to get the head right when printing.
Now on beta 10 the same settings now the head crashes into the bed, rips the tape off, no filament comes out because the head is pressing so hard against the bed.

Before beta9 -
G31 X0 Y0 Z1.06 P500

On beta9 and beyond -
G31 X0 Y0 Z1.28 P500

I also had a failed print, maybe it screwed up my z probe..

dc42

No, nothing has changed in that area.
