Driver Fault?
-
Hi, First off love the board and updates to DWC and the firmware, but i do have an issue with the drivers for the XY and Z axis. My X axis works perfectly but no matter what i do the Y and Z axis just wont move. All motors were checked to be operational previously on another one of my duets ( they are 0.9degree 1.7a ). If i do G91 then the usual G1 S2 X-5 or whatever the x axis works as expected try this with Y or Z and nothing at all. If i then move my Y motor connections to X and try G1 S2 X-5 the Y motor works as expected, and agin if i do this with Z it also works. So the only assumption i can make is the drivers for Y and Z aren't working. I was order number 63 in batch 1. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue or has any other options i can try out?

It's very unusual for both outputs of a driver to fail. If one output fails, the usual symptom is that the motor vibrates instead of turning. Here are some things you can check:
- Run M584 to check that the Y and Z motors have not been mapped to other drivers. It should return:
Driver assignments: X0 Y1 Z2 E3:4:5:6:7:8:9
- Run M906 to make sure that you have set the Y and Z motor currents. It should return something like this (the values will depend on what you set in config.g):
Motor current (mA) - X:1000, Y:1000, Z:1000, E:500:500:500:500:500:500:500, idle factor 60%
-
Run M92 to check that your steps/mm are sensible on all axes
-
Check that the two jumpers are installed in the unused Z motor connector
Never connect or disconnect motors with power applied ot the board.
-
Thanks dc for the quick reply.
Driver assignments are all ok.
Motor currents set at 1000ma at the moment previously 500ma, still the same outcome.
Micro stepping set at 1/64 and steps per mm are set at 800. ( 24vdc 0.9degree steppers with 16T pulleys and GT2 belts). X works others don't.
Tried @256 with 3200 steps per mm and X axis still works others don't.
Jumpers for unused Z axis motor are in place.
I am always very careful when working with electronics as i have been an electrical engineer for 20 years
Its annoying because everything else works perfectly and worked first time:(
The other annoying thing is that i was hoping to get this printer going so i could work on my other delta that has a duet 0.8.5 in it, it decided last week that one PWM fan output would stay on permanently and the other would switch but gets dragged down the minute you connect a fan to it.
-
I guess it's time for t3p3 to send you an exchange board then, and send the first one to me for diagnosis. Tony, can you arrange this? Unless you can think of something I have missed.
-
honestly i don't know, i only finished building up this printer with the new board today and started working through everything, and like i said everything else when i have connected them and tested has worked perfectly and first time. The only thing i have noticed is if i shut down and restart the printer then do G91 followed by G1 S2 X10 it moves up smoothly when i do this for Y the first time you can here it try but nothing happens, if i do it again you cant hear anything. On Z when i try it it doesn't do anything at all .
So basically i am at a loss, was hoping to be printing this weekend as well
-
Yes looks like a replacement and diagnosis is the way to go. Roland will contact you directly to arrange sending out a replacement.
Sorry to ruin your weekend printing plans, all the boards were tested on our test rig before sending them out so this is very puzzling.
-
Just in case it's a power sequencing issue, please try starting up with just USB power applied, then apply 12 or 24V power and then try to get the motors to move. Every time the Firmware sees the main power appear, it will re initialise the motor drivers.
Also please check that you have at least 11V on the Vin terminals. The drivers cut out if they consider the voltage is too low.
What feed rate are you specifying in your G1 commands?
Please also post your config.g file.
-
For me to, plus there hasn't been any worrying smells and looking at the board there doesn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary, the PT100 daughter board and the IR sensor seem to work well though from what i can tell so thats a plus
I would be interested in finding out myself what the diagnosis uncovers, if thats possible. Normally its just clients industrial kit i blow up usually more careful with my own
-
Hi dc, i will check your suggestions in the morning and post a copy of my config, tidied everything away for tonight. I was using a conservative feedrate of 500.
Thanks for all your help and suggestions and i will let you know how i get on in the morning.
-
I will be out of contact for most of today. Hopefully Tony will see this thread and sort out a replacement board for you

OH NO!! I have the same problem.
I upgraded from Duet to Duet Wifi and no motors will move. 3 LEDs are lit on the board for X Y Z, strange the one for the extruder is not.
Also using driver extender board. Those steppers aren't working either.
Everything was working on the Duet.
Running 1.15c firmware.

Which Driver Extender board are you talking about If you mean the DUEX4 then it is not compatible with the DuetWiFi Don't know what effect plugging one of them in may have?

Eddiie The Duex4 is definitely not compatible so unplug that at try again. Can you connect over the web interface? If so what happens when you home the axis?

Just updated Firmware to 1.15c for the sake of it but still the same, on the plus side the new firmware update process is very nice.
-
I think the best bet is for us to send you a replacement and you send that one back for diagnosis. I have emailed you directly.
-
Hi Tony, thanks for that just seen your email and replied.
-
Eddiie The Duex4 is definitely not compatible so unplug that at try again. Can you connect over the web interface? If so what happens when you home the axis?
I unplugged the board and the steppers home now.
How was I to know they were not compatible?
