Multiple Motion System - 3rd Axis

SANJR

Hi,

I am using Duet 3D Mainboard 6HC for controlling my cusom built cartesian machine. I am currently using two concurrent motion system, one for the X,Y,Z cordinates and the other motion to control the fourth axis independet of the previous one.

Currently i have a need to expand to third motion system. Any insights on when the third motion system would be released?

@SANJR we have no current plans to expand the number of motion systems beyond two. However, the 6HC should have enough power to support three and much of the code is written to support an arbitrary number. So if you are running in standalone mode and can build the code yourself, I can provide guidance on what to change. If you are running in SBC mode then it's a little more complicated because DSF would need to be altered too unless your requirements are fairly limited.

Thanks for the Quick Update

I am using the second motion system by a daemon.g file and use the M596 P1 to select the second motion system and have interfaced this with the state of a global variable ¨PrintHeadState¨. So typically when the PrintHeadState is ON the second motion system rotates continuously and feeds the filament.

In a similar fashion, the third motion system needs to check the state of the PrintHeadState continuously as the second and its operation and feedrate independent of the first (cartesian) and second (feeder).

Is it possible to create second daemon.g file ¨daemon2.g¨?

If this is possible i could replicate the code of the the previous daemon.g ......and choose the M596 P2 for the third motion system.

Hi,

Any ideas on the requirement with or without the additional daemon.g file would be helpful plz....

Thanks inadvance.

@dc42

Ur insights on this would be very helpful for us

Ideas to proceed further for the asynchronous movement plzzz
