Short to ground on half the drivers on Duet 3
-
To confirm I'm not going crazy.
I am setting up duet 3 for a CNC mill conversion. I tested it with the PSU and one stepper before doing the mechanicals, and a bare bones config -- thought I was good.
Now the CNC mechanical conversion of the mill is 90% done -- I'm wiring up the z motor, and testing movement, and getting short to ground errors, tested the same harness on X -- works fine.
Done some config variations, and turns on driver 2,3,4 are reporting short to ground, drivers 0,1,5 work fine -- I'm going to exchange it with filastruder -- this is not normal right? Seems like a board defect. -
You're not crazy. Please see this thread https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/18011/duet-3-6hc-short-to-ground-issue.

Ok, gonna get a replacement then.
I'd prefer to keep this while the replacement is in transit as 3 drivers do work, and that's enough for a CNC to function.
Anything else is wrong with those boards besides basically 3 dead drivers.m122

It's just the drivers that are affected. Filastruder has some known good boards, so they can probably sort out a replacement for you quickly.

I have a microsoldering station, and I looked at all the solder joints under high magnification, and touched up all the affected diode pins with a micro soldering tip -- and got 1 1/2 drivers to function -- 1/2 is one that was totally dead is now half dead, it didn't move at all before, but now moves but stutters so assuming is I only fixed 1 phase, so there are more cold solder joints. 1 which was previously dead I did not revive -- cleaned everything with alcohol, can see on one that there is bear copper next to the diode, and I can't flow solder there without fully removing the diode and starting fresh ...I've already contacted filastruder. Discussing with them regarding doing an advanced replacement -- which unfortunately is not free -- since it would require a 3% credit card refund charge.
