DuetWiFiFirmware minor release 1.15c
-
Thanks David. I updated to the latest PanelDue firmware today too.
-
Got it, plus I had to flush browser cache. I forgot about the M997. I updated the WiFI server too so this machine is on the latest and greatest of everything. Thanks!
-
I should also add…
I had no problems with my FSRs and JohnSL connected to the E0 connector and I DO have G0 Z150 to terminate my bed.g file.
-
Sorry I won't be able to look at this for several more days. I've already looked at the code changes in 1.15c and I didn't find anything to explain it.
If you wish, you could try connecting the fsr board to the Z probe connector instead of E0 and use probe type 5.
I tried this and it worked! The signal line from the FSR board (Green wire) moved to "Z_PROBE_IN". Black to GND and Red to +3.3V.
It must have had something to do with the E0 endstop being used as the probe signal input.
I also tried firmware 1.15c with 18 bed probe points and that worked as well. So the only things I changed were going from E0 STOP to Z_PROBE_IN for the FSR probe board signal connection. This required changing the M558 parameter from P4 to P5.
For clarification, the G0 vs. G1 conversation that happened in the recent posts… I don't believe it has anything to do with the FSR probes not working. That was something to do with the reported object height on the DWC interface.
-
That's interesting then because my JohnSL is hooked to the the E0 STOP and works perfectly fine with 1.15c firmware.
-
Ok, figured out why my bed temperature keeps faulting. One of the Sch-row terminals is froze in the housing. Dos anyone now where i can find a Replacement for the bed power Terminals?
-
has anyone had any Extruder drive control issues, on my test print i am getting Blobs of plastic where it starts a new round in the outer shell.
-
OK, tried another Slicer, just on the chance something in the gcode. Issue manifest itself after a z movement. it can be seen when i try to home xy. The z moves up and the y go's to the stop and stops. then the y jumps in the direction it was moving. Looks like the same thing when i am running a print, except the z moves up and the selected tool (Extruder) jumps. giving me a blob of plastic. any ways hop this makes some sens and is helpful for any one with a Debugger.

Fermware: 1.15CThat's an odd symptom. Can you post a video?
Two notes:
- When you home all, if you are using the standard homing files on a Cartesian printer, then X and Y are homed together. Whichever one homes first will stop until the other is homed. So if Y homes before X, then Y will stop until X has homed.
- A common cause of an axis pausing for a moment when it should be reversing direction is a loose pulley.
-
No loose pulleys. Same hardware i was ruining with the Old Duet Controller. have tried to post pictures and movies before at your request. Only to have them blocked. Sorry. Hears my homeall.g file:
; Mendel home all file for use with dc42 Duet firmware
; Adjust the bed upper and lower limits in config.g (M208 commands) to get the correct homing positions
G91 ; Set to Relative Positioning
G1 Z4 F200 ; move hot end up by 5mm
;
G1 X240 Y240 F3000 S1 ; Home and set x and y axes
G92 X220.00 Y212.00 ; Initial homing done, now set fine Adjustments
G1 X-5 Y-5 F200 ; Back off end stops by 5mm
G1 X240 Y240 S1 ; Re-home X and Y at slower feed rate
G92 X220.00 Y212.00 ; Set top level Absolute Coordinates
;
; Adjust the XY coordinates in the following to place the IR sensor over a suitable spot
; If you are using a dc42 IR sensor then you can change the coordinates to be near the centre of the bed
G90 ; Set to Absolute Positioning
G1 X100 Y100 F6000

My only comment on your homing files is that we don't normally use G92 in them any more. Instead we use M208 commands in config.g to tell the firmware what the bed limits are, which are also the positions assumed when endstop switches are triggered.
Please post your config.g file.
-
Ok, So the Coordinate System Calibration and the Limits need to be the same. Will this affect the Extruder and Y drive Extra movement i am seeing?
I have run test to see if it actually extrudes 100mm and the y drive actually moves 100mm when i send the G1 Command and that works fine. its just the articulated commands in a print. Almost like a timing error. Any ways the ramblings of and old man.

-
I see that you have G92 X220.00 Y212.00 in your homing files, and M208 X200 Y200 Z120 in config.g. So your G92 command sets the X and Y position outside the declared printable area. This may account for the jumps you are seeing when homing. I suggest you remove the G92 commands in the homing files and use M208 X220 Y212 Z120 in config.g.
Also you have M574 X S1 in config.g. I presume it should be M574 X2 S1.
Is there a reason why your X endstop switch is NC/active high whereas your Y endstop switch is NO/active low, according to your M574 commands?
-
X and Z are the infrared Sensor. I am getting sloppy in my coding. As the X and Y are the infrared Sensor i will comment it out and try
-
Sorry X and Z are the infrared Sensor i will comment the M574 command out

Ok, had to put X and Z back in:
M574 X0 S1 ; Set endstop configuration
M574 Y2 S0 ; Set endstop configuration
M574 Z0 S1 ; Set endstop configuration -
Ok, Ran another test print. issue still exists. its like the extruder continues to extrude wall the hot end is moving in word to print the next line. Same thing with my y end stop. the actual hardware stop is close to the point where the switch gets trigger. during the first seek to find the end the controller drives the y past the end just enough such that it hits the hardware before it lock hold the motor. And the next G1 command backs the y table off to do the fine adjustment. Any way and observation
-
It sounds to me that your homing issue is because the endstop switch is not triggering before the physical stop. That would explain the pause. Can you adjust the position of the switch, so that it always triggered before the physical stop?
You can post a video to YouTube and link to it from this forum.

Hi. There are a couple of things I don't understand in your config.g. You've set axis directions (M569) for E0 and E1 therefore I'm assuming from that, that you have 2 extruders. Is that correct? Earlier on you've set the motor currents (M906) for 5 extruders but that won't matter if you are only using 2 of them. Later on you've set steps per mm (M92) for X,Y,Z and E, indicating that you only have one extruder. If you have 2 then you would normally have something like E420:420 instead of just E420. I'm not sure how the firmware would react if you only define steps/mm for one extruder but try to use two.
Then you have defined 5 tools, each with their own extruder (D0 to D4) but sharing the same heater indicating that in fact you do have 5 extruders, in which case you ought to set steps/mm for all 5. Then for each of the 5 tools, you have an X offset of 20 which means that the nozzles are all 20mm off set in X but the Y and Z offsets are all the same. This would mean that you would have a single nozzle with 5 filament inputs but in that case, you wouldn't need to have an X offset. For tool definitions where there are multiple nozzles, usually one tool would have zero offsets and the others would be offset from that tool.
Can you let us know how many extruders and how many hot ends (nozzles) you have and if the hot ends share the same heater? If you have multiple nozzles, what are the physical distances between them?
-
Sorry, this was original a copy from the old Duet. Specs:
Extrudes: 2
Hot ends: 1I indeed fead different Filaments into one hotend (2 feeds). the Tool head offset is do to the fact my x carage was supposed to use two hotends, but i only have on. and its easier to work on in the position its in.
hear is a Cleaned up version, i will run a test print using:
