Issue with tool definition/motor not responding

CSLTM

Hi,

I've got an issue with a toolboard/config wherein I believe I've defined the tool correctly and the drivers for said tool but the motor doesn't respond.

Here is where the drivers are bound to the extruders.

; Drives
M569 P0.0 S0                                       ;  X
M569 P0.1 S0                                       ;  Y
M569 P0.2 S1                                       ;  Z1
M569 P0.3 S1                                       ;  Z2
M569 P0.4 S1                                       ;  Z3
M569 P0.5 S1                                       ;  Z4
M569 P1.0 S1					   				   ;  C
M569 P20.0 S0 									   ;  E0
M584 X0.0 Y0.1 Z0.2:0.3:0.4:0.5 C1.0               ; set drive mapping for motion system
M584 E20.0 							               ; set drive mapping for tools
M350 X16 Y16 Z16 E16 I1                            ; configure microstepping with interpolation
M350 C8 I0				 	                       ; configure microstepping with no interpolation
M92 X80.00 Y80.00 Z817 C100 E409                 ; set steps per mm
M566 X900.00 Y900.00 Z12.00 C2 E120.00                ; set maximum instantaneous speed changes (mm/min)
M203 X36000.00 Y36000.00 Z400 C5000 E1200.00            ; set maximum speeds (mm/min)
M201 X1000.00 Y1000.00 Z20.00 C400 E250.00                ; set accelerations (mm/s^2)
M906 X2000 Y2000 Z2000 C400 E800 I30                    ; set motor currents (mA) and motor idle factor in per cent
M84 S30                                            ; Set idle timeout

And here is where the tool is defined.

M563 P0 S"Tool 0" D0 H1 F1                                  ; define tool 0
G10 L2 P1 X23 Y67 Z15.5                                    ; set tool 0 axis offsets
G10 L2 P1 R0 S0                                       		   ; set initial tool 0 active and standby temperatures to 0C

I can't figure out for the life of me why this isn't working!

Any help appreciated!

Cheers,

Tom

@csltm you have to select the tool

T0

in your config.g or in your start gcode in the slicer

CSLTM

@siam Thanks for the quick reply.

The machine when it starts up doesn't have a tool on it so would it be worth adding T0 to the TPRE0.g?

What would I add to the TFREE0.g to de-select the tool?

Thanks!

SIam

@csltm as far as i know is the tpre0.g for change tool script
if you only have one tool is enough when you put t0 at the end of the config.g file

CSLTM

@siam I should have mentioned I'm using the E3D toolchanger.

The TPRE0 script correctly picks up the tool, allows me to heat up the hotend and use the fans but the motor won't spin.

I tried adding T0 to the TPRE0.g script but it sent it into a loop of picking the tool up and putting it down again.

Even with the tool hooked up and the heater on, the motor doesn't spin or twitch or engage.

@csltm
Ok with a tool changer i'm out but
i think your mistake is here P20.0 ?

M569 P20.0 S0 									   ;  E0

and here you map P0 to the to tool 0

M563 P0 S"Tool 0" D0 H1 F1                                  ; define tool 0

CSLTM

@siam P20 directs the firmware to the Toolboard as it is numbered 20.
Will have a play with the M563 command.

Thanks for your help anyway

Hi @CSLTM
I fell in the same trap lately > M584 should come very early in config.g
I'd put it before M669 to be sure.
The configuration tool will be adapted soon.
