Problem combining axis
-
This command:
M584 Y1:2 U2
does not make sense. Driver 2 should only be assigned to one axis at a time.
the same is true in your initial M584 command:
M584 Y1:2 Z6:7:8:9 U2
-
Well thanks for this quick Support.
I have changed the command to M584 Y1:2 Z6:7:8:9
When I do ( drive 1 and 2 combined )
G91
G1 Y10Drive 1 will go positiv and 2 will go negativ.
Now I do
M584 Y1 U2When I do
G91
G1 Y10 U10both axis will go positiv direction.
Is this as expected ? -
That doesn't sound right to me. The direction in which a motor moves to achieve positive movement along an axis should not depend on which axis it is assigned to.
-
I tried to figure out what it is, but failed.
I updated the firmware to the latest beta, just to be shure to not running on an older Problem.
Behaves the same.I used different drives. The last I used were 3 and 4. It is always the same.
when I separate the axis by M584 Y3 U4, the U Axis runs in the wrong direction.
While combined with M584 Y3:4 they are running in parallel.Why did I separate the axis ?
I found an example on this Forum how to sync two axis.
I can problably invert the U axis in the macro that does the sync ( have not tried by now ), but this
does not feel right. -
Please post your updated config.g file so that I can replicate your configuration.

The problem is that you are not creating the U axis in config.g, but you are trying to set parameters for the U axis. In particular you are trying to set the U axis maximum to 450 in the M208 command. But all the U parameters in your commands are being ignored because the U axis doesn't exist yet. So you need to create the U axis in your M584 command. After creating it, you can immediately use M584 again to assign both motors to the Y axis.
You can use the P parameter in your M584 command to make the U axis invisible if you wish.

Many thanks for your help.
Still I probably did not understand it.
I have changed this
M584 Y3:4 Z5:6:7:8
to that
M584 Y3 U4 ; this should define the U axis
M574 U1 ; set the endstop, old endstop command was wrong
M584 Y3:4 Z5:6:7:8 ; Assign both axis to Y, Z Axis not used by now
; do all the other stuff as beforeWell it is still the same.
Y axis is running parallel when M584 Y3:4 is send
U axis runs in the wrong direction when I send M584 Y3 U4 -
I may be having similar problems https://www.duet3d.com/forum/thread.php?pid=30968#p30968

When you send M208, what does it report as the axis limits for the U axis? A problem with your original configuration was that the U axis minimum and maximum were both zero.
-
M574 my fault. Have changed it
M208 Reports
Axis limits - X: 0.0 min, 230.0 max, Y: 0.0 min, 450.0 max, Z: -0.2 min, 200.0 max, U: 0.0 min, 450.0 maxHaving the axis combined y+10 from the web Interface runs both axis in pos. direction.
pressing u+10 runs the U axis negativ.Here is the complete config.g as it Looks now

I've just spotted the issue. You have selected CoreXY configuration. In that configuration, both the X and Y motors together drive the X and Y axes. However, any additional axes you create will be standard Cartesian axes.
Can you explain how your two Y axes are intended to work - do you have two separate CoreXY gantries?
Depending on what you are trying to achieve, you may be able to use the CoreXYUV kinematics in RRF.
-
The Maschine is a big xy System.
I have 2 Motors that drive the y axis. gantry drive
I have 2 Independent x axis on one bridge using 2 Motors ( dual x drive )
I have 4 z Motors -
Thanks, you made my day.
I was shure it was a newbie mistake.
I have changedM667 S0
now it is working as expected
-
I think what David is asking is it CoreXY kinematics or Cartsesian with two motors on each axis. To clarify, on a CoreXY, both motors contribute to motion in both the X and the Y directions. If only one motor turns then the gantry moves at 45 degrees to both axes. It sounds like your dual motors only drive one axis at a time. If that is the case, then it's not CoreXY. Maybe a picture of your printer would help.
Edit I was typing while you were - pleas ignore the above.
