@droftarts I am able to log on to Wi-Fi and it is getting connected now The only thing that is not working is connecting to yat be a USB but it is connecting to Wi-Fi it's been 2 days now and it's still working via Wi-Fi

droftarts

@Blunt2007 That's good to hear. Your config.g looks generally sensible, and has M552 S1 which enables WiFi, in it.

One point: your machine name is 'Ender 5 plus'. Unless you have modified your printer, these machines are cartesian printers, not CoreXY, which you have set with M669 K1. Is that correct?

For the USB, have you tried connecting since the config.g has been updated, and you can reliably connect via WiFi? It may have been continually rebooting before, if there was a configuration problem, which may have caused USB not to connect.

If that still doesn't work, can you post a picture of the back of the USB port, where the pins are? I want to check all the pins are soldered correctly. If they are not, we can exchange it under warranty.

Ian

Blunt2007

@droftarts Yes it is an ender 5 plus from what I found on the internet that is what I selected of course I'm fairly new at this so I can be completely wrong I could use your help if you know of anybody that has a ender 5 plus with the files already made up I can really appreciate it and the list and documentation so I can read up on G-Code. I did boot the computer up into safe mode and it said that the comports are not available and safe mode so I'll send you a picture of the USB connection thanks for your help

droftarts

@Blunt2007 Thanks for the picture. It looks like the pins are correctly soldered and there doesn't seem to be any missing, blown or damaged components in that area. So it is a bit of a mystery why it won't connect. I can't tell if it's a Windows problem or a board problem. If you're up and running now, perhaps see how you get along. If you can find a different USB cable, and a different computer to try it with (I can't remember if you have already tried that), then that would be a good test.

There's a number of different places you can see other people's configurations, but you do really need to understand what you are doing when using them. We keep a list here:
https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/Reference/Community_projects#machine-configurations-and-macros
There is one Ender 5 Plus here, which is probably closest to your setup (Duet 2 WiFi): https://github.com/Duet3D/RRF-machine-config-files/tree/master/Ender5Plus
And three more here: https://github.com/TeamGloomy/LPC-STM32-RRFUserConfigs/tree/master

Please don't blindly copy them, though. It will depend how you have connected the wires to your board.

One thing they all don't have is M669 K1, though. Delete that from your config.g.

Ian

Blunt2007

@droftarts Yes I'm going to keep this board because it's working fine now see how it works out The board is under power and it's working fine. Don't really need to use the USB come on. Can you direct me to a link for All the G-Code and and macros documentation so I know what I'm doing better thanks all for all your help and your patience I really appreciate it have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year May your god bless you

droftarts

@Blunt2007 Our documentation is here: https://docs.duet3d.com/

I think you have been following the 'How-to' guides; keep going with those, they will guide you through a lot of the journey.

The Gcode dictionary lists all Gcodes, with their function and parameters: https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/Reference/Gcodes

This page describes most of the configuration files and macros used in a standard cartesian setup: https://docs.duet3d.com/User_manual/Machine_configuration/Configuration_cartesian

For anything else, search the wiki or ask on the forum.

OP mentions Ultimaker Cura as a file suggestion for STL files. Cura tends to grab serial ports and needs to be not running when trying YAT or PuTTY.

@droftarts duet to Wi-Fi board hey I was wondering if you knew a way to be able to get another stepper motor connected to this board is there a dual stepper driver extension module that I can plug into this board because I'm looking to run dual nozzles what do you suggest is it impossible

There is a dual driver expansion for the Duet 2. https://docs.duet3d.com/en/Duet3D_hardware/Duet_2_family/Dual_Stepper_Driver_Expansion_Module

There's also a Duex5 with 5 drivers plus additional IO.
https://docs.duet3d.com/en/Duet3D_hardware/Duet_2_family/DueX2_and_DueX5

The Duex2 is no longer made, but maybe you could find a used one out there.

droftarts

@Phaedrux @Blunt2007 the dual driver expansion only works on the Duet 2 Maestro, you have a Duet 2 WiFi.

The last config.g I saw of yours has the drives mapped as:

M584 X0 Y1 Z2 E3 ; set drive mapping

That means you are using 4 drivers. Unless you changed it to put, say, one of the Z axes motors on driver 4 (marked E2), there should still be a spare driver on the board, spare heater output and temperature sensor input. So you may not need additional expansion.

See this page for external drivers: https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/Connecting_hardware/Motors_connecting_external

Sorry for the bad info. I should probably hold off posting when on the cold meds.

Blunt2007

@droftarts for my dual extruder can you check the wiring on this for the drivers I got two question marks . Can you help me with the wiring upper left of the picture in my writing lower right is the motherboard Hope you can help me to get my drivers up and running 2209 and the pin has been cut for you UART

droftarts

@Blunt2007 Sorry, I can't advise on how to wire this combination of boards. However, see this thread https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/34500/using-expansion-mini-2-on-duet-2-ethernet for someone who has done the same thing.

Ian

Blunt2007

@droftarts okay thanks still working on it meanwhile I'm trying to get the 3D printer working turn on board and tried heating up bed and got this fail statement what's causing this can you help still having problems trying to connect to it with Wi-Fi and it won't connect try using USB not working still having the same problems over and over
With the Wi-Fi

oliof

@Blunt2007 for the bed heater error, you need to PID tune the bed to get rid of this error. Run M303 H0 S70 and save the PID tune values; see https://docs.duet3d.com/User_manual/Reference/Gcodes#m307-set-or-report-heating-process-parameters

Okay, let's get this board exchanged under warranty. Please send an email to warranty@duet3d.com and CC your reseller. Include a link to this forum thread and the details of your original purchase. You'll receive a reply with a form to fill out.

@droftarts I got my new board and tried connecting with USB and it would not connect but when I push the reset button it connected but I but I'm not able to connect by Wi-Fi so I upload it (runonce.g) to the system file and I was able to connect to Wi-Fi and it comes up with my duet is it possible that I have the bog rate set wrong I have it set at 9600 can you tell me what you guys set the bug rate to by the factory maybe that's why I cannot connect by USB

droftarts

@Blunt2007 Glad you got a new board, sorry you're still having problems.

Are you using YAT to try and connect, or something else? 9600 baud rate should be fine, it's what I use, see second step here https://docs.duet3d.com/en/How_to_guides/Getting_connected/Getting_connected_to_your_Duet#h-3-connect-to-duet
9600 baud (bits per second), 8 data bits, Parity none, Stop bits 1.

Is the WiFi working better this time? Does it stays connected, and reconnects, if you turn the Duet off and on?

Ian

Blunt2007

@droftarts All my settings are correct and I still cannot connect USB to pontephase or yat. So far I'm able to to connect to the Wi-Fi hopefully sometime soon I'm going to upload a new profile to the new board I'll let you know if I lose Wi-Fi or not
