Motors doesn't work on drives from Duex 5

Well you must have used it since the file is display correctly.

Clicking on the </> icon enters three lines of characters used for pasting code into a post. I've reached the point where I just type in the needed characters (two sets of 3 ` characters).

I don't see anything odd in the file.

It looks like the boards are mounted to a metal plate. If so, did you check for any shorts to the plate.

If not at this point I think you need to get @dc42 involved - you may have a defective board or ribbon cable.

Ok, thanks a lot for your time and effort!
The board is mounted on brass extenders for PC motherboards, extra tall so there should be enough clearance.
Hmm maybe I can find another ribbon cable just for trying something…

I’ve never used the </> button, only knew about the ‘’’

Did you check to be sure there was no continuity from power in (positive or negative) to the metal plate?

Yes, nothing there.

Does the ribbon cable have continuity on all it's pins?

Eken

@phaedrux
Yes it has.
So I didn’t bother looking for another cable to try with.

This is a "new" Duex, ordered it 13 months ago and installed it this week.

When and where was the Duex purchased?

It would be out of warranty, but seeing as it hasn't been used until now, and the issue seems to be that the Duex is not being detected at all, I think we should cover it under warranty.

Please send an email to warranty@duet3d.com and CC your reseller. Include a link to this forum thread and the details of your original purchase. You'll receive a reply with a form to fill out.

Recieved my new Duex yesterday and work out just great now!
Now I'm off to get use of some 3-point-independent-z-motor-super-mega-heavy-duty-auto-bed-leveling

Thanks for your help and thanks to Duet-team and reprappro.me for the quick handling of the warranty case!

Glad you're up and running now.
