Switching from Duet Maestro to Duet WIFI
-
I'm switching from a Duet Maestro to a Duet Wifi and a few of the pin configurations are different. immediately you can see the power connections are reversed and opposite of a Duet Maestro as well as the E1 and E0 Motor molex connectors are reversed. The connection alignment tabs for the molex are on the top of the pins on the Maestro board and flipped down on the Duet Wifi board. Would it be easier to pop the molex pins and rewire it that way or should you / can you do it in the firmware?
You can see that on the Maestro the pins are B2 B1 A2 A1 and on the Wifi they are 2B 2A 1A 1B. Thoughts?

@Stephenbright Motor wiring is exactly the same for all Duets. The labelling has changed, but you still wire one motor phase to the left two pins and the other motor phase to the right two pins.
Don’t understand your comment about E0 and E1 being swapped; they clearly are not!
And don’t bother rewiring the motors for the flipped connector tab. If the motor goes the wrong way, flip it in config.g using M569.

That being said the Power section is definitly reversed correct? On the board the VIN and Ground are labeled in reverse and I've wired them the way the board is listed...
However flipping the E1and E0 motor connector over is literally opposite of the the Maestro as the Molex will not fit unless it is flipped. So I will keep the same pin configurations / arrangement but just flip the molex around to fit...
Thoughts on that?
Thanks !

Yes, Vin and bed heater is different on Duet 2 Maestro and Duet 2 Wifi, pay attention to the wiring diagrams/silkscreen!
but just flip the molex around to fit...
Thoughts on that?for the steppers thats fine, just invert the config if they turn the wrong way as Ian mentioned.

Thank you !

I've received this errors:
M569: Bad mode change microstep interval for driver 0
M569: Bad mode change microstep interval for driver 1
Error: M569: Driver 2 does not support mode 'stealthChop'
Error: M569: Driver 3 does not support moBadThoughts on how to fix them?
Thanks !

@Stephenbright please post config.g, and firmware version with M115.

on a general note, the stepper drivers are different and have different support, notably the wifi cannot interpolate all microsteps to 265, only from 16 and there is no stealthchop support in the wifi with 2660 drivers, maestro has 2224 drivers. caveat list may be incomplete or incorrect, or all of the above.
(i'm sorry, i completely forgot about that, as I've yet to use a wifi board for printing.)

Also, instead of tinkering with a very old beta firmware version, you should just update to the current RRF2 release.
Just upload this zip file as is to the /sys folder via DWC.

Hi, yes I have updated to the latest firmware. I was just posting what the current firmware was when I received the error for clarity...
Couple of updates:
The pin outs on the Maestro and the Wifi are in fact reversed. I had to flip all the connections to get the motors going the right directions. Not a big deal and that is now sorted...
I'm now getting a heater error. You have to use the screw terminals on the Duet WiFi and on the Maestro it is using the 2 pin molex connector. I popped out the molex pins on the connector, snipped the tips so have a good lead and wired it up.
According to the wiring diagrams the VIN power is on the left and the GND is on the right. Correct? This is listed on BOTH diagrams. HOWEVER on the Maestro board it says the Molex connectors are 2 amp and the screw terminal are 5 amp. I have to use the screw terminals on the WIFI board. Do I need to make change somewhere with a jumper etc?

An alternative would have been to edit your M569 commands in config.g, changing S0 to S1 or vice versa.
According to the wiring diagrams the VIN power is on the left and the GND is on the right. Correct? This is listed on BOTH diagrams.
If you are viewing the board with the E0/E1 heater connections at the top edge, that is correct.
HOWEVER on the Maestro board it says the Molex connectors are 2 amp and the screw terminal are 5 amp. I have to use the screw terminals on the WIFI board. Do I need to make change somewhere with a jumper etc?
No. We added the Molex connectors on the Maestro so that OEMs using 24V power could use them instead of the screw terminals. OEMs don't generally like screw terminals because they take too long to connect. The Molex connectors are connected in parallel with the screw terminals.

I have everything sorted except for the extruder motors are NOW clicking / grinding? Could the voltage me wrong? It looks to be set at E400? Is the 400 mA? Should I go down to 300 mA? I know the Wifi board steps in 100 mA intervals vs the Maestro 50 mA...
Thank you !

400mA seems low for an extruder. What current were you using when you had the Maestro installed? What is the rated current of the motor? What printer is it?
-
It looks to be rated at 450mA however the stock setting using the Maestro was set like this which is think is 400 mA :

It seemed to work fine with the Maestro even if it was low. I can set it to whatever you think would be appropriate.
-
If it worked at 400mA on the Maestro, it should work at 400mA on the Duet 2. Maybe only one of the phases is working. Can you tell whether the extruder is rotating normally when it doesn't have to push filament?

No it is not rotating normally.
When I put the filament in, it is moving but in a clicking / stepping motion, like you can feel the filament vibrating and it's not really loading the filament. This is a pict of the connection.
I mapped out this chart if it helps for the cable colors to the board.

It really does sound like one of your motor phases is not connected properly. Bad crimp or broken wire. If you have the means, try re-crimping the ends, or replace the wires entirely.
Are you getting any error messages in the console saying a motor phase may be disconnected? It would be strange to get the behaviour but not the error message, so maybe it's something else.
Have you tested the motor on a different driver?
