Multiple extruders with 3HC & 1XD
-
I have multiple extruders mounted on the same print head in my design. Two are steppers connected to 3HC expansion boards, and the third has a servo on a 1XD to control a pellet extruder. The issue I'm having is that I'm not sure how to make the M906 E setting work. I don't want to define a current for T0 since it's using a 1XD and T1 and T2 are connected to a 3HC.
M906 E0:650:650 U400 V400 W800 I30
Error: Setting not available for external drivers
Any ideas?
Also, I guess this would affect M350 as well. How could I make this work?
M350 E0:16:16 ??

Have you tried just not including the 0?

@p8blr you can number the extruders any way you like, independently of the tools. So you could declare extruders 0 and 1 in the M584 command as using the 3HC, and extruder 2 as using the 1XD. Then I think you can use M906 and M350 commands with just two E parameters. You can still declare tool 0 as using the 1XD if you want to, by configuring it to to use extruder 2 in the M563 command that creates it.
