duex5 not working?
-
don't hesitate, I'm not immune to mistakes
in this instance though yes, i have them correct, reverse polarity as compared to the duet due to the design for back to back fitment , if there is any thing working IT and as a network engineer has taught me, check, recheck, check again, and recheck one more time before you plug that thing in, mistakes are bad
when i get home i can take a picture for more clarification if needed.

@tenjin No I believe you. Personally I'm leaning towards it being a fault with the ribbon cable or maybe the board itself, but I'm just an end user like you. Maybe one of the Duet team will step in with some better ideas.

under this chip
are these solder pads
wonder if there is just a bad solder job causing it?
-
i see you are rather knowledgeable on the duet / duex products, Have you got any input on this one? im a bit at a loss where to go.
Kind of starting to regret my decisions to go this route. -- expensive learning experience so far.
recap: hardware: duet wifi + duex 5 + paneldue 7i
currently i have all fans working as intended, 3 PWM fans on the Duet, one thermostatically controlled hotend cooler
one tool fan
one thermostatically controlled MCU fanx and y are in original intended motor drivers and work fine
z i want on drivers 8 and 9, eventually will be 7 8 9 when i finish my coreXY with tripple z screws.
BL touch is using PWM 5 on the Duex and prob connector on duet, as described here: https://betrue3d.dk/bltouch-on-duet-wifi-configuratio-and-usage/
and surprizingly it actually works, while i cannot get the motor drivers on the duex to work
setting the motor drivers for z to 2:4 works fine.
also noticed last night, one of the endstop LEDs on the duex is permanantly on but super dim, i want to say it was stop 5?

Looks like a bad DueX5, bad ribbon cable, or just possibly a bad Duet. Please ask your supplier to replace the DueX5 and ribbon cable.

Not shocked at the suspicion of a failed duex, it was mine from the get go, supplier asked that i open a thread and get a response from you guys to validate the claim for RMA
thanks for reviewing and confirming.

@tenjin, I'm sorry it took a day to respond to your post. I'm very busy with getting Duet 3 working and other stuff right now, so I'm not reading the forum as often as usual.

What, you mean your not my dedicated servant??!!!
no worries, absolutely appreciate your help
now to get my Duex5 RMA'd

Hi,
While I don't have an specific answer for you regarding your current problem I can say the combo should work fine.
I have five printers equipped with the Duet WiFi/Duex 5 combo and have had not issues.

i just realized ... thats your name silk screened on this duex5 isnt it ....
thats freaking amazing customer service if the lead product engineer is trouble shooting things for customers.

Iām having the same problem. I have 3 z motors connected to my Duex5 board and a BL touch in PWM1 or E2 heater. The board does not show up when I use M115, however when I Turn the printer on the BL touch probe cycles.
When I home all, the heater light for the two lights up showing that it is activating the probe. How can the board not be showing up but also still activating the probe? -
I also forgot to mention I finished building this printer two weeks ago, and have been using it for a week plus and everything has worked great.
