Good morning,
the configuration of the machine is going well, and almost everything works.
I have a problem with the OUT0 and OUT 1 outputs of the 1HCL.
The outputs work fine when used with V fused but I can't get them to work when used with V brake. I have 24V input power to the 1HCL but I can't get 24V output.
I'm trying to use it to power a fan.
The CAN 56.0 board refers to the X axis motor of the machine
This is the configuration in config.g

M950 F0 C"56.out1" Q250
M106 P0 C"Part"

Thank you very much for helping

@3Dream please provide a photo of your wiring showing how you have provided the VBRAKE supply to the EXP1HCL board.

@dc42
The 24V that I send to the 1HCL V_Brake input is the same that I use to power the motherboard and all the 24V users (pump, fixed fans)

dc42

@3Dream you cold check the two fuses on the 1HCL board. One of them is for the VBRAKE input.

3Dream

@dc42 the 24V fuse had blown. I replaced it but the out 1 output smoked when the fan was turned on. I do not understand..

dc42

@3Dream I suspect the fan is either faulty or was connected with reverse polarity.

Good morning,
i'm having trouble using my engines on 1HCL boards.
I have used this configuration of motors / screws / guides / structure weight on other machines with external drive and 1XD cards without problems.
The printer is very large.
After tuning example ( M569.6 P50.0 V1 )
On the 4 Z-axis motors (5mm pitch ball screws)
I get example:
Driver 50.0 basic tuning succeeded, measured backlash 0.067 step
But on X Y axes where I use 15mm pitch ball screws
I get example:
Error: Driver 54.0 basic tuning failed, measured backlash (0.237 step) is too high
Warning: Driver 54.0 warning: tuning/calibration failed
I can only reduce the backlash error by disconnecting the screws from the motors.
Can I solve it in some other way?
I installed version 3.5 and tried to use closed loop auto tune without success.
Is there an instruction manual explaining how to use it and where is the data saved?
I can't figure out how to use it
Thank you
David

@3Dream what motor current have you configured, and what is the rated current of the motor? Increasing motor current will reduce backlash.

Firmware 3.5 for the EXP1HCL is better than 3.4.x, and the current 3.5beta2 release of EXP1HCL firmware is compatible with 3.4.x firmware on the main board. However, some of the M569.1 configuration parameters have changed in 3.5. See the GCodes wiki page for details.

@dc42
i'm using 5000 which is the maximum i think right?
M906 X5000 Y5000:5000

dc42

@3Dream motor rated current is usually specified for both phases energised, and microstepping drivers only energise one phase fully at a time. So it's safe to increase motor current somewhat when the motor is not at standstill. You could try increasing it to 6000 just before tuning, and reduce back to 5000 immediately afterwards. You could use M913 to do this, as it appears to allow greater than 100% of normal current.

The maximum accepted backlash in firmware 3.5 is 0.22 full steps so you are not far off.

@dc42
I tried to bring the value to 6000 but the result doesn't change, maybe it gets worse.

Z motors:

Driver 50.0 basic tuning succeeded, measured backlash 0.068 step
Driver 51.0 basic tuning succeeded, measured backlash 0.082 step
Driver 52.0 basic tuning succeeded, measured backlash 0.072 step
Driver 53.0 basic tuning succeeded, measured backlash 0.078 step

Y motors:

Error: Driver 54.0 basic tuning failed, measured backlash (0.241 step) is too high
Warning: Driver 54.0 warning: tuning/calibration failed
Warning: Driver 55.0 basic tuning succeeded but measured backlash (0.218 step) is high

X motors:

Warning: Driver 56.0 basic tuning succeeded but measured backlash (0.170 step) is high

I am attaching my config referring to the motors.
Tell me if you see any errors please.

Hello DC42,
would it be possible to connect an accelerometer like Adafruit LIS3DH to a 1HCL?
On the encoder connector I connected only 4 wires GND, 5V, A input and B input.
Only SPI_SCK would be missing. Can I use CS or CCK?
Thank you

dc42

@3Dream in principle it would be possible to use an encoder connected to the ribbon cable connector, using the CS pin normally used for a magnetic encoder as the CS pin for the accelerometer, and using the N input on the other connector for the INT pin. However, the expansion board firmware does not yet support SPI-connected accelerometers. I could try enabling that in the next 3.5breta release.

3Dream

@dc42
ok thanks, when is the next 3.5 release expected?
Currently if I carried a cable from the head/accelerometer to the motherboard I would have a cable about 7 meters long; Do you think it's ok or are there too many problems?
Thanks again and sorry for the many questions

dc42

@3Dream I think a 7m cable would be too long. Another possibility would be to use a SAMMYC21 board to connect the accelerometer. For non-commercial use a RP2040 + CAN-FD transceiver chip could also be used to host an accelerometer.

Are you using the EXP1HCL board to drive the extruder motor?

3Dream

@dc42 Good evening
Indeed the 7 meter cable does not work, it recognizes Adafruit LIS3DH but creates problems.
So using one of these two systems as an interface could I connect to the EXP1HCL CAN with the Adafruit LIS3DH accelerometer?
Could you give me a link to understand which one to choose and how to connect it?
I'm not using the EXP1HCL board to drive the extruder motor but I drive it directly with the motherboard driver.
However the last EXP1HCL board of the can line is connected to the X axis and is located near the extruder. Approximately 1.5 meter cable.

dc42

@3Dream are you using the io0 and/or io1 connector on that 1HCL board?

3Dream

@dc42 i am using only GND and io_0_In for the X limit switch.

dc42

@3Dream thanks. I've done a temporary build of the EXP1HCL firmware that supports an SPI-connected accelerometer when a magnetic encoder is not connected, with the INT pin of the accelerometer connected to io1.in. I haven't had time to test it yet.

The alternative would be to connect the accelerometer I2C pins IO1 and fit the bypass jumper, but then you would need to solder the INT wire to the PA20 pad on the underside of the PCB. That may be a better option going forwards, if we add the PA20 pin to the IO connector in the next board revision, because it would also be compatible with using a magnetic encoder.
