How does one set up a Duet3D 6HC with RPi4 to wifi?

Hello All,
I installed the motors on the frame and tried to run the same test as on the bench. The x axis work well. Both the Y and Z dual motor axes ran into trouble. It seems I had best drives slip. Have to check that and also make sure the motors are moving in the same direction.
Cheers

Have to check that and also make sure the motors are moving in the same direction.

given the lack of standards with respect to colour coding motor wiring it could be they theoretically move opposite even if it looks like they're wired the same.

the easiest way to reverse the direction if needed is to ~~add R1 to the M569 line~~ for the relevant axis. (ed: change S0 to S1 and vice versa in the relevant M569 line)

Hi Bearer,
Currently, it says, e.g.,
M569 P2 S1... (Y1 motor) physical drive 2 goes forward
M569 P3 S1... (Y2 motor) Physical drive 3 goes forward

the motors now face away from each other on the Y axis
so is it right to set up the P3 as follows
M569 P2 R1 ????
Thanks,
Jim

Changing S1 to S0 changes the motor direction.

Thanks you so much, I reset it as
M569 P2 S1... (Y1 motor) physical drive 2 goes forward
M569 P3 S0... (Y2 motor) Physical drive 3 goes reverse
M569 P4 S1... (Z1 motor) physical drive 4 goes forward
M569 P5 S0... (Z2 motor) Physical drive 5 goes reverse

also used dual M584 lines x and Y and next line for Z and E

It is installed in the printer framce and it works! Thanks again!
Next is to design the extrustion head and design something to print out as a test.

BTW, how does one mark a thread "SOLVED"?

There's an option to set ask a question bottom right. You can then mark it solved

M569 P2 R1 ????

My bad! Jay corrected it thankfully - too bad I didn't see it earlier, one of the issues I've found myself dealing with earlier (today)..

Jim46

Hmmm, not sure what happened, it seemed to mark it "unsolved". How do you change it to solved?

FIrst it has to be asked as a question, then it changes to mark as solved.
