@phaedrux I read somewhere I might have to move the heater to the board to do the pid tune? Is this correct?
As of firmware 3.3 it's supported on expansion boards.

@phaedrux Only problem I got now.. Is my X-Axis doesn't want to home all the way. It thinks the 0.0 is like almost close to the endstop. But when I try to home it. It moves a little and stops. No errors etc... I tried to edit the homex.g file. This is what I got since its new firmware and they changed alot not sure if its something else. But my y-axis is homing fine without any issues. The probe is working so far.
G91 ; relative positioning G1 Z5 F7200 H2 ; lift Z relative to current position G1 H1 X-258 F1800 ; move quickly to X axis endstop and stop there (first pass) G1 X5 F7200 ; go back a few mm G1 H1 X-258 F360 ; move slowly to X axis endstop once more (second pass) G1 Z-5 F7200 H2 ; lower Z again G90 ; absolute positioningAlso not sure why I couldn't get the toolboard to do pid tune on the heater. I updated the toolboard to the 3.3 I think I will try to update it again to make sure.

The homex look's correct based on your config.
Check your X axis by turning off the motors with M18, move the print head somewhere near the center of the bed and send G92 X100 to tell the firmware the X axis is homed and free to move. Now send G1 X10 F1000. It should move to the right 10mm. Measure the distance moved with a ruler to make sure it's actually moving that far. If it doesn't go to the right, or doesn't move the right amount you'll need to address that by either changing the direction of rotation of the x motor or changing the steps per mm for x.
For the toolboard firmware, send M115 B# where # is the can bus address of the toolboard to check it's firmware version.

@phaedrux I got the toolboard on the newest and its finally working on the pid tune. Not sure why it didn't work the other time. Maybe i didn't do it right. But I try the x axis. But my steps on axis on y and x should only be 100. Even on my duet 2 thats what they were. Unless it has changed.

M208 X-33 Y-10 Z0 S1 ; set axis minima
Well your axis minima for X is -33, so when it hits the endstop it thinks it's at -33 and 0 would be 33mm to the right. If this is what you're seeing, that's to be expected. If you want 0 to be right at the endstop, change the axis minima to 0.
Usually the reason for using a negative value for the minima is if the endstop is off the edge of the printable bed surface and you want 0,0 to be on the printable area.

@phaedrux that is what the config tool made it. This is what my orginal config is on my duet 2 wifi was. So i even tried this also. It still stops or doenst move to a certain point.
; Axis Limits M208 X0 Y-22 Z0 S1 ; Set axis minima M208 X210 Y220 Z240 S0 ; Set axis maxima from 0 to 250, Y bed goes from 0 to 210 -

Can you show a video of this behaviour? I'm not really sure what you mean.
-
@phaedrux Give me a few once the pid tune is finished I can do a quick video. I think it thinks the 0.0 is where it stops at. Because that is what is showing on the screen. I have tried to put the print head on the endstop and then tighten the belt and then it still ends up doing it again.
Heres a video on something I could record.. Its not much I can try to record something else. But its not even moving much in the video here. It won't go to the right. It wants to keep going to the left. I have changed the movement command also in the config.g which will reverse the movement. It still gives me same issues.

Is the X endstop on the left side?
Does -X make the head move to the left?Your video link is private so I cannot see it.
-
@phaedrux Yes the endstop is on the left.. and when I click on the -x it moves to the left. But when i hit home x it starts the process of homing like it should but it acts like the endstop is tripping. Almost like right away. Its then giving the herema a 0.0 so I cant move it to the left any more. Also I fixed the link this should work now. Might try to recrimp the end to make sure its not a bad crimp.

Ok, that sounds like your endstop is detecting as triggered when it shouldn't. And your video seems to confirm that.
Please test your endstop status by sending M119 once when the switch is not depressed and again while the switch is depressed. Does the x endstop status change?
Is your endstop wiring running next to other wiring and picking up interference? How is the endstop connected? Normally open, or normally closed?
-
@phaedrux I have tried the M119 command it reacts like it should. When I hold it down its detecting a pressed switch. They are microswitches so. I only have two switches on the board so shouldn't pick up much interference. I tried them both ways it seems to detect both ways. I have checked that. Only other thing I could try is the switch it self is bad. It wasn't before I switched the board.
-
After some testing and going though a few things. It looks like I figured it out. It was either some type of interference with the type of endstop I was using or bad endstop which I don't think it was because it would work fine when I pulled it away from the other wires and keep it alone. I also tried another of the same type of endstop. It behaved the same way. It worked just fine when I had it alone. But as soon as I put it with a few motor wires and zip tied them up it would cause some type of interference. I ended up having to use a 3 pin endstop that uses 5 volts, signal line, and ground. This seemed to fix the issue. I had to make a new mount after I did some quick tinkercad modification on my old one. Then slap it into my SLA printer. Then inserted some brass knurl nuts into it. It made a nice little mount. I have noticed this board is really picky with stuff like this. At least I know when I go though this again on my other AM8 printer. I will have this all down.

@phaedrux Thank you for the help you gave me.. Really would love to look into some Hall effect sensors. They are now just coming onto the market for the Voron. Like the idea of not having to use any contact. Might also look at replacing my bed micro sensor to a 3 pin one also. As of right now its been fine its working good. Guess because its not getting any interference. Anyways are there any newer plug ins or addons I should look at? or anything I should look at with the new duet 3 that the duet 2 wifi didn't do.
