Short to ground driver 3 Duet 3 mini wifi 5+ on a V-core 3 build

So right now that driver is at:
“ M569 P0.3 S1 D3”
Your saying to change d3 to d2 or to add a second line at the end?

dc42

@ratrig0331 change it to D2. If that avoids the problem, then you may be able to revert to stealthChop mode if you do the proper tuning move in the homing scripts.

@dc42

I’ve read that people added “v21” at the end of that driver script what dose that do set the voltage to 21? Or turn on something else to quiet the steppers? Is it ok to do good to do or bad to do?

dc42

@ratrig0331 the V21 parameter changes the speed at which the drivers switch from stealthChop to spreadCycle, so that they only switch to spreadCycle at very high speeds (if at all). If you do that then it is even more important to execute the correct tuning move during homing.

RatRig0331

@dc42

How would you do that?

dc42

@ratrig0331 from https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Tuning_Stepper_Motor_Drivers#Section_Considerations:

You must execute the proper tuning sequence after switching to stealthChop. This means: apply motor current, pause for more than 130ms, then execute a move at reasonable speed.

So homeall.g could be something like this, assuming RRF 3.3 or later:

M17 X Y Z ; enable XYZ motors
G4 P150 ; wait 150ms
<rest of homeall.g follows including G1 moves at reasonable speed>

Home all

; BLTouch
M280 P0 S160 ; Precautionary alarm release
M280 P0 S90 ; Ensure the pin is raised

G91 ; relative positioning
G1 H2 Z5 F6000 ; lift Z relative to current position
G1 H1 X-625 F1800 ; move quickly to X axis endstop and stop there (first pass)
G1 H2 X5 F6000 ; go back a few mm
G1 H1 X-625 F360 ; move slowly to X axis endstop once more (second pass)
G1 H2 X25 F6000 ; go back so not on endstop
G1 H1 Y605 F1800 ; move quickly to Y axis endstop and stop there (first pass)
G1 Y-5 F6000 ; go back a few mm
G1 H1 Y605 F360 ; move slowly to Y axis endstop once more (second pass)
G1 Y-25 F6000 ; go back so noton endstop

G90 ; absolute positioning
G1 X250 Y250 F10000 ; go to first probe point
G30 ; home Z by probing the bed

G91 ; relative positioning
G1 Z5 F100 ; lift Z relative to current position
G90 ; absolute positioning

@ratrig0331 there's no point in sending two M280 commands to the BLTouch in quick succession, because the second one will take effect before the first one has had a chance to send a pulse to the BLTouch. Use a G4 delay between them.

@dc42

So changing the d2 seemed to help all the axis moves as they should, and I started a new print after one two hours into the print there is a new alarm “motor phase A may be disconnected reported by driver(s) 3”

Once more resulting in a diagonal print line movement vs is round tool path

That's probably caused by a bad crimp connection in the stepper motor cable; but a hardware fault on the board (e.g. bad soldering of the motor output connector) can't be ruled out. The warning message indicates phase A, so check the phase A side of the cable crimps.
