Cant Get Board Setup PLEase HELPPP!!!

Veti

it looks like the DWC was updated to some 2.0 beta version.

save the /www folder and replace it with the content of
DuetWebControl.zip
from
https://github.com/dc42/RepRapFirmware/releases/tag/2.03

Brandon019349

So the 1.2.2 version one?

Brandon019349

Does everything else seem to be in order for everything to work. Not sure how to set up by BLtouch either

Brandon019349

and also where do i go from here to get everything started up?

Brandon019349

I got the web controller up but now it wont home Z

Brandon019349

Its like it doesnt know the bed is there and i dont know how to make it use the bltouch instead of the head

Veti

why dont you start by telling us what printer you have. what its currently running.

there are step by step guides on how to set up a duet.
for example here is one for the ender 3
https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Guide/Ender+3+Pro+and+Duet+Maestro+Guide+Part+1:+Wiring/37

Brandon019349

I have an ender 3 but the guy that i got it from added lots of stuff like the bl touch

Brandon019349

There isnt really a guide for Ender 3 with bl touch Duet 2 Maestro and micro swiss hotend.

Veti

@brandon019349
ender 3 and ender 3 pro are close enough.

then you go on to set up the bltouch using this helpful page
https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Connecting_a_Z_probe

and the micro swiss hotend might just be a different thermistor.

This is the issue Im having. I dont understand any of this stuff so i don't understand half the stuff they are saying to set it up. Thats why i need help

PaulHew

As @Veti has said start with the manuals that Phaedrux has written, they are a godsend.
I can give you my config for the BL Touch.
As it says the Microswiss is a hot end, it only heats.
Just need to know which thermistor is in it.

I can drop my Maestro code before I put the DD Extruder on it, but not until later.

Brandon019349

I have gotten to the web controller and have read all manuals I can find and still don't understand how to get this to work. I feel stupid that I don't understand this stuff but I dont and need more guidance than words on a manual that doesnt go into depth at all

Veti

Brandon. 3d printing is not something that just works. you will need to invest a lot of time in it.
there are many people start of like you. there are a lot of guides written and made on youtube.

so please invest the time. read the guide. then come back with a list of things that you do not understand and ask them here.
we will try and help you understand them. but a general "i dont understand half of it" is not helpful because we dont know which half you dont understand.

setting up a printer is just a start. you will need to test out a lot of different settings to get a good print quality. this takes time and involves reading and learning every step of the way.

+1 on this

PaulHew

Where are you based?
Is your config.g as you posted earlier?
Also a please post your config-overide, again if it is as above then fine.

I will go through and make sure the base settings are OK, to help.

Brandon019349

Ok I think I have everything else set up the only thing that I need to figure out is why my extruder doesn't go to the center of the bed to home the Z axis. I dont think i have any configuration files for the bl touch either. I'm not sure how to get those because everything that I have seen has been for different machines and not with a maestro.

PaulHew

This bit goes in your config.g

Mine is before the Endstops section
;BLTOUCH CONFIG; Z-Probe
M574 Z1 S2 ; Set endstops controlled by probe
;M558 P9 H5 F120 T6000 ; Set Z probe type to bltouch and the dive height + speeds
M558 P9 H5 F120 T6000 A10 R0.75 S0.02
;G31 P500 X40 Y-13 Z0.340 ; Set Z probe trigger value, offset and trigger height

M557 X40:220 Y15:220 S20 ; Define mesh grid

This is in my bed.g
M561 ; clear any bed transform

That is about it for setting up the BL Touch.
Please make sure it is wired correctly as per this.

My printer was an ender 3 Pro. You will need to measure the offset for the probe.
