Motors unresponsive via 3HC

ELAD

Hello,

I have connected 3HC to the Main 6HC board which runs my IDEX wonderfully till now. I would like to work with 8 drivers in total to suit my new printer design
I have followed and read any information I could find regarding the issue .

I can see both LEDs on the mainboard and the expansion board flushing simultaneously. I have successfully updated the firmware on the expansion board to suit the one installed on the main board - 3.4.1.
After that, I made a quick update to config.g in order to control two motors via the expansion drivers.
But the motors are not responsive to any command.
Your assistance is highly appreciated.

Thank you

@elad what commands are you sending?
you only appear to have driver 1.1 mapped in your config

ELAD

X is mapped to 1.0 and U is mapped to 1.1
M584 X1.0 Y0.1 Z0.2 E0.3:0.5 U1.1
I sent G1 X### F####

@elad you need to home an axis before you can move it

@jay_s_uk said in Motors unresponsive via 3HC:

@elad you need to home an axis before you can move it

... or send M564 S0 H0 to allow movements without homing. See M564 in the Gcode dictionary.

Thank you but I think this is not the issue. I sent M564 H0 S0 before. See the Output from M122 B1 - Driver 1: pos 0, 80.0 steps/mm
This is not according to the config.g M92 U100 So I believe it is something else

@elad I suspect that the EXP3HC hasn't started up when the motor commands in config.g are executed. If this is the case then if you run M98 P"config.g" the motors should move after that.

To resolve this:

Add a delay command early in config.g to give the EXP3HC time to start up. This is documented for the TOOL1LC board but not yet for the EXP3HC (we will add it). See https://docs.duet3d.com/en/Duet3D_hardware/Duet_3_family/Duet_3_Toolboard_1LC#startup-time.
Your EXP3HC board is running an old bootloader version, which may be extending the required startup time. Please update the bootloader on that board. See https://docs.duet3d.com/User_manual/RepRapFirmware/Updating_bootloader.

@dc42 Thank you very much ! It fixed it !
