@charles-fraser quick question: to connect to the Pi via USB to “SerialTools about in there” I should use the USB C?
No the Duet 3 is a micro USB port.
@charles-fraser said in Large Format Dowell to Duet conversion:
I ran M122 and it printed !! Whoop
Ok excellent so now you are at the point where you have communication between the Pi and the Duet MB 6HC, and between the Duet and the 3HC.
Run
M98 P"0:/sys/config.g"That will give you any errors in you config.g that need to be changed.
As an aside,
From now on are you able to send the text of the M122 reports etc using the "</>" function in the forum rather than as an image. It make is easier to see whats going on.

I thought you meant connect to the Pi via USB not the Duet

@t3p3tony okay I have to cycle to the shops to get food before it gets dark and starts raining again. Thank you again for all your help! I will sing duet from the steepletops if we get this working. Also what is your favorite Champagne, Wine and Ale? This Christmas t'wil be flowing!

@t3p3tony hi dear Tony, I am taking ladbrokes to court at the moment for bullying tactics and so have spent much of the morning dealing with them and some of my team helping me with things. I’m now able to put a few hours back into the printer if you are around?
I’m happy to pay for your time and or send huge cases of your finest drink to you for christmas if you think you could help me get this printer working?
I posted what was printed after that command in my second to last post. I’m not sure what that response means but I’m trying to get the board to recognise the thermistor and thermocouple with no luck. Please advise. Many thanks, Charles
-
@charles-fraser I think you are now at the point where the boards are working and communicating so the next step is actually setting up and commissioning the printer.
I see from an earlier post that you have gone through and used the config tool to generate the configuration, which we have subsequently modified to remove the non SBC networking stuff. To get rid of the CORS reports when you send M98 P"0:/sys/config.g"
remove the 3 lines starting with M586, then test running M98 P"0:/sys/config.g" again.At that point please post your config.g here using the </> method to make it easy and we can start testing the movement, heaters etc.

@t3p3tony Thank you!

Okay so all court documents are submitted to the courts in time even though Ladbrookes tried to change the dates on us and then revert back to the old dates last min, and I can get back to work on this:
When I send M98 P"0:/sys/config.g" it just posts that in the event log in a green coloured entry. Nothing else comes back.

-
@t3p3tony I also can’t work out for the life of me what the coordinate and drive mapping system is for the 4 x z motors
This is their location measured from X=0 y=0 on the bed looking from above
And here is an up to date mapping of the wires / ports I hope: Green Machine Wiring Table
-
Also the output of the heater for the heated bed goes to a relay. The polarity of the wires seems to matter but I can’t work out which of the pins on ‘OUT0’ on the 3HC is positive or negative. Sorry if this should be possible to determine from the wiring diagram, I still can’t work that out after looking at it
Please NB location of blue and brown wires.

Thats good, means there are no commands that are erroring when the machine starts
edited to refer to the table you shared here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BnwMvK9tU8W356t2_NAa4YQPk077nXfBA7ScrNfxe_A/edit#gid=0I have only started covering the issues - I can't answer your questions if you ask them quicker than I can answer - 1 step at a time.
I am assuming that the wiring is plugged in as that table refers except the BL touch which is potentially faulty as was preventing the expansion board form starting up. First check there are still no issues with communication or safety after everything is plugged (send M122, M122 B1, check no heaters are heating uncontrollably).
- You have the table showing a Thermocouple being used for the heated bed, connected to thermocouple DB that is plugged into the 3HC. The heater for the heated bed is controlled by a SSR from the 3HC. That should be ok, although the configuration is set to have it connected to the mainboard so lets change that:
M308 S0 P"1.spi.cs0" Y"thermocouple-max31855" ; configure sensor 0 as thermocouple via CS pin 1.spi.cs1 on expansion board 1 M950 H0 C"1.out2" T0 ; create bed heater output on expansion board 1 out2 and map it to sensor 0Cross reference with the 6HC wiring diagram here:
https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Duet_3_Mainboard_6HC_Wiring_Diagram
and 3HC wiring diagram here:
https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Duet_3_Expansion_3HC_Wiring_Diagram- Similar to point 1, the config does not match your table, change it to:
M308 S1 P"1.temp1" Y"thermistor" T100000 B3800 ; configure sensor 1 as PT1000 on pin temp0 M950 H1 C"1.out1" T1 ; create nozzle heater output on out2 and map it to sensor 1For some reason you had a PT1000 set in the config, not a thermistor so check that. NOTE the B value in the line above is probably totally wrong as it will be specific to the thermistor. you need to find out what the correct B (and C if the manufacture gives that) values you should be using for this specific thermistor.
-
Fans. Your config has the hotend cooling fan connected to out 8 on the mainboard and the part cooling fan connected to out9. that will be fine if they are both 2 wire fans that run at the same voltage. and fan 1 is your hotend cooling fan, while fan 2 is your part cooling fan.
-
Your table does not match the wiring diagram for motors, You only have 1 Z motor defined and 4 extruders. The table has the following setup:
z back right Driver 3
z front right Driver 2
x Driver 0
y Driver 1
z front left Driver 4
z back left Driver 5
Extruder motor Expansion Driver 0
Note, refer to the mainboard 6HC wiring diagram again - can you confirm that is how you have them plugged in because an earlier image you posted with a schematic had them plugged in differently. Check where each driver is on the mainboard!
The M584 command needs adjusting to correctly assign the driver to the correct axis (assuming the mapping as you have in the table):
M584 X0.0 Y0.1 Z0.2:0.4:0.5:0.3 E1.0This sets the order of the Z motors as Front right, Front left, back left, back right. which is important for Z levelling later.
You also need to adjust the subsequent commands to take into account you have 4 Z motors and 1 extruder.M350 X16 Y16 Z16 E16 I1 ; configure microstepping with interpolation M92 X80.00 Y80.00 Z400.00 E420.00 ; set steps per mm M566 X900.00 Y900.00 Z60.00 E120.00 ; set maximum instantaneous speed changes (mm/min) M203 X6000.00 Y6000.00 Z180.00 E1200.00 ; set maximum speeds (mm/min) M201 X500.00 Y500.00 Z20.00 E250.00 ; set accelerations (mm/s^2) M906 X3000 Y3000 Z800 E800 I30 ; set motor currents (mA) and motor idle factor in per centNote for now I have just removed the additional extruder parameters. The settings there will apply equally to all Z motors which I assume are the same.
- The co ordinates for you motors (for use in M671 later in the process). I think they are as follows based on the image you have posted:
Assuming the motors are where the circles are?
Ok I think that is enough for now. Make the changes to config.g I have suggested and then re-run M98 P"0:/sys/config.g". Then plost config.g here again and we can take the next steps.
-
you are amazing Tony thank you so much! I need to get inside to warm up abit and cook supper then will get outside again to give it some more work. Thank you thank you thank you!

Thanks so much Tony! So:

Juan who designed and built the pellet extruder does not have the thermistor info. It might be easier to just buy a new one that fits in the heating block. Any recommendations would be appreciated re kind.
-
Fans, the fans are 12V fans I think. Both two wire fans running at Q500 which is barely at all but when I change that value up it just makes more noise but doesnt spin much at all.
-
Yea those are the correct driver to motor matches in the table - I changed it from the pic before to try and match the config tool and arrangement in the instructions for setting up multiple z motors. I've added all the config you setup thank you!
4.1 I still need to work out the correct miliAmps for Nema 17 (z motors & extruder motor) and mAmps for Nema 23 X & Y motors.
4.2 I still need to work out the steps per mm info. The screws on the z scres has a lead of 5mm and a toothed gear at the top with a pulley to another toothed gear on the nema 17 motor. I'll add a pic here in a bit. Not sure how to work out what kind of gears they are for the gear ratio calculations / steps / mm cals
4.3 Not sure what microstepping setting to set for best performance / my use case, mostly printing with a 3mm Nozzle
- Okay not sure where to add the M671 command so will wait till later in the process. Thanks for that!
I just saved that config and updated the board. I can see the heater thermistor is at a balmy -273C which I think is pretty close to absolute zero, which is how I feel right now. Bed says n/a

@charles-fraser right. the error with thermocouple board is because i copied what was already in the config and looking back at the picture you have a newer TC board so it should be the following line
M308 S0 P"1.spi.cs0" Y"thermocouple-max31856"
I hope that fixes that issue.
For the hotend thermistor - even if the B value is wrong we should still get some sort of reading. (not -273). Looking back at old pics in this thread it looks like you have it plugged into Temp0, not Temp1 so either switch it to Temp1 on the board, or change the config to point to Temp0.
M308 S1 P"1.temp0" Y"thermistor" T100000 B3800 ; configure sensor 1 as thermistor on pin temp0Onto the next point:
Also the output of the heater for the heated bed goes to a relay. The polarity of the wires seems to matter but I can’t work out which of the pins on ‘OUT0’ on the 3HC is positive or negative. Sorry if this should be possible to determine from the wiring diagram, I still can’t work that out after looking at it
the pin labelled "out0" is the negative. The pin labelled V_FUSED is the fused VIN voltage (24V in your case).I could not find the data sheet for that model of relay exactly but found a similar image:
Which shows it can accept upto 32V as the control line so your 24V should be fine. Connect VFUSED to the +'ve side (terminal #3) and out0 to the -;ve side (terminal 4).
So the opposite way around from that you have.Regarding the current for your motors. if you look at the model numbers, find the data sheets, the look at the maximum current. then set it to 70% of that maximum for now.

@t3p3tony righto, thanks - I just have a team work session for an hour and a half then will get onto it.
Many thanks, Charles -
Thank you Tony!
- Okay so I changed the thermocouple & thermistor code as described. Sorry about that
After updating the board there is still n/a for the thermocouple and -298C for the thermistor on the nozzle. May I check these settings are both for the 3HC?

I swapped the wires in the bed heater around

Nema 17s I can't find a data sheet for. This gantry was put together in Shenzen and when I search the name and model number on the z motors (42byg4208-25 jingcheng motor 03303 20-10) or a variation thereof I get nothing of that name. I guess it is a Nema 17 because of the dimentions of the base plate but not sure what to do here other than maybe use some geneic value of a nema17 motor of the same size (40x40x67)
The Nema 23s (x & y axis motors) say 4.aA on the back so 2800mA is 70% of that. For reference below is the model number and here is the data sheet which specifies 5A rating, differing from what is printed on the back of the product.

@charles-fraser they are for board id1 which is how your 3hc is configured.
Please send the M98... to check config.g is loading correctly.
Please unplug the thermistor and check the resistance with a multimeter. Also check for a short between the thermistor wire and the hotend heater wire.
For the thermocouple i wonder if the issue you had before damaged the TC daughterboard.
Yes that nema17 model number does not appear to be turning up much. Do you have any idea what the current way configured on the previous controller? If not we will have to start low and work up.

@Charles-Fraser also please post your current config.g

Hi Tony
Now there is only one heater. After sending M98 I get

Hi Tony, I get continuity when I detach the thermistor and test across it.
