Duet 3 Output Not Working
-
@JoergS5 Fair enough... I should have probably done that before I posted! I will test a file and publish the results.
-
@beachtec you don't need a file, you can move the steppers by direct g-code commands in the "Send G-Code" field of the DWC duet web control. That's one of the advantages of Duet, the direct execution of all commands (with the exception of some config settings).
(> sorry if this bothers you, I don't know whether you are familiar with Duet). -
I wrote one anyway to try on a few different axis. Stepper 5, nothing. Other steppers work with the same settings.
-
@JoergS5 I am very grateful for the help and am always learning... do not worry about bothering me at all! I am good!
-
and I love that command line window!

@beachtec if driver 5 is defective, the common procedure is to look at the Duet 3 whether a defect is visible for warranty, so detailed images of front and back of the stepper 5 driver would be the next step. Inspections would be made by the moderators/administrators.
It's confusing that M122 shows no errors for driver 5, so I expect that the driver is not defect. Maybe a connection problem of the connector?
-
I do not understand it either. I believe that if the wiring was at fault, the stepper driver would have worked when a motor known to be working well was swapped out and the power was cycled. But when I did that. The drive I motor I swapped into Drive 5 did not work and the motor formerly in drive 5... worked fine in the new location. I would MUCH rather fix it then replace it... it's a lot of time and delays... but I understand. By the way, I wanted to redo all of my connectors doing this but there was just enough to do the job in my box but I tested them and they all show good connections, and the same Impedance and coil phasing. I have only had it a few days... been waiting to work on it this weekend.

@beachtec you'll have to wait for the experts. Good luck!!
-
Did you check out that link I posted? Send an email to see if you're affected by the diode problem. If so, replacement is really the only way to go.

@Phaedrux, @JoergS5, @T3P3Tony Epilogue.
Thank you for your help with this issue.
This forum is loaded with great people, support and solutions that drive a deeper understanding of your products and the creative ways they can be used.. it is straight up good reading, I always learn something and sometimes even gain a bit of humility!
I had my replacement Duet 3 sent overnight and installed it straight away... within minutes everything was working properly, even a few little issues I had with noise on drive 0 and 1, which seemed like it might just be tuning, were cleared up and the machine performed perfectly. I love drivers on this board, it is so quiet!
Anyway, thank you again for your help and support. Cheers!

@beachtec nice to hear that it has a good end. Happy printing!
