;If no T parameter is given, then on boards having internal drivers the step pulse width and interval are guaranteed to be suitable for the on-board drivers only,

@developeralgo222 You haven't changed the X axis limits; it still shows X0 as the minimum, and X-1575 as the maximum. Either swap them, or remove the minus from X-1575.

Otherwise, looks okay.

Ian

developeralgo222

@droftarts
when i test it manually according to the right-hand cartesian coordinates . My X-Axis moves Backwards from Home(Right to Left) instead of the Normal Forward ( Left to Right ) , that's why i was using Negative infront of that otherwise it crashes the X-Axis. If you look at the Endpoints and motor placements diagram above , you will see the description

droftarts

@developeralgo222 In that case, change the direction of the motor with the S parameter in M569, eg:

M569 P0.0 S0 T5:5:10:10

Then update the M208 command, and check it goes the right direction.

yes updated config.g and that fixed X-axis negative max issue

droftarts

@developeralgo222 Okay. Does it still crash when you send M98 P"config.g"?

Ian

@developeralgo222 Another snag on homing; I checked with @dc42 if the trigger is ignored on homing moves. He said:

No, you have to deactivate the trigger.
..because after the homing move you need to move away form the endst9p to release it, to avoid triggering

So in your homing macros, rather than disabling the trigger pin and enabling the endstop, you need to disable the trigger itself, while homing. So now the homing macros will look like this:

M581 T1 P-1 ; disable trigger
 
[normal homing routine for X and Y axis in here]
 
M581 T1 X Y S1 R0 ; re enable trigger

@developeralgo222 See my reply before yours. You will need to edit your homing files.

Edit:
Using M950 J1 and J2 in your homing files to refer to limit switches will be messing with these in config.g:

; SMC NPN Vacuum Sensors -ZSE30A-01-N-L (Not Z-Probe)
M950 J1 C"!2.io3.in"   ; Duet 3 3HC CAN_ID 2 Port 4- Vacuum Sensor Nozzle 1

Not sure i understand what you mean by this ?

developeralgo222

@developeralgo222

i sent

 M98 P"config.g"

command and it disconnected again same issue. I don't know what is in the config.g that makes Duet 6XD crash ?

droftarts

@developeralgo222 never mind, you updated your homing files and have fixed it now. You can always check how pins are defined by sending, M950 J1 for example.

Ian

@developeralgo222

Also trying to get all the endstops on all Axis working. On the Z-Axes, i have 3 x Nema 17 Motors that are directly connected to 3HC board CAN ID = 1 , Drive 0,1 & 2. This are CAM Driven Axes

Motor 1 ---- On Drive 0 --- Rotates Clockwise or Anticlockwise to move CAM driven dual nozzles down and up on Z & U axis on CAN ID = 1 - Duet 3HC Drive 1.0 i.e Z & U-axes share a single motor 1

Motor 2 ---- On Drive 1 --- Rotates Clockwise or Anticlockwise to move CAM driven dual nozzles down and up on V & W axis on CAN ID = 1 - Duet 3HC Drive 1.1 i.e V & W-axes share a single motor 2

Motor 3 ---- On Drive 3 --- Rotates Clockwise or Anticlockwise to move CAM driven dual nozzles down and up on A & B axis on CAN ID = 1 - Duet 3HC Drive 1.2 i.e A & B-axes share a single motor 3

Trying to define them correctly in the config before updating the homing files. Here is a sample picture courtesy of @wayneosdias of where roughly the endstops for Z, U, V,W,A,B are located.

Two nozzles are at either end of the of the cam and at the center a stepper motor. At rest/homed both nozzles are at the Z max height and suspended this way by springs supporting against gravity. Once the stepper is activated, CCW the 1st nozzle is pushed down and the 2nd nozzle is suspended by the spring. Conversely when the stepper is activated CC the 2nd nozzle is driven down and the 1st nozzle is suspended at max z by the spring.

How do i get endstops for Z, U, V,W,A,B configured correctly ? Here is the snapshot of those Z-axes with drives and Endstops. I am not even sure that the Drives are configured correctly as per @dc42

@developeralgo222 For the timeout errors, are you seeing all your boards in DWC, and are they all on the same firmware? Go to Settings > Machine-Specific, should look something like this:

If it doesn't show there, send M122 to check mainboard firmware version, and M122 B1, M122 B2 and M122 B3 to check status of each expansion board.

The expansion boards must be on the same firmware version as the mainboard.

@droftarts

Only seeing B0 = 6XD, B1 = 3HC (CAN ID= 1) but not seeing B2 or B3 .A few days ago i could see all of them.They can connected fine. I did update all of them 2 weeks ago with same Firmware RRF 3.4.6

.

After updating to 3.5.0-rc.2 i can see all of them but i keep getting an error every minute about " Error: Expansion board 2 stopped sending status"

Error: Expansion board 2 stopped sending status

Screenshot 2023-12-18 163245.png

i will check the CAN cables and then reboot everything to see if it continues . After reboot , after a few minutes i started receiving the error again. Then i tried M122 B2 and i get

M122 B2
CAN response timeout: board 2, req type 6024, RID 91

Able to see them all after update and reboot

droftarts

@developeralgo222 Have you checked the CAN termination on them? Only the last 3HC board should have the jumpers on the pins just behind the CAN ports.

Ian

developeralgo222

@droftarts jumper ? i see 2 jumpers behind the CAN Ports. Do you mean the CAN Bus termination jumpers ? Do i need to remove those 2 for Board 1 and board 2 and leave those for board 3

droftarts

@developeralgo222 CAN termination jumper:

Only have jumpers on the pins of the last 3HC in the chain. See https://docs.duet3d.com/Duet3D_hardware/Duet_3_family/Duet_3_Expansion_3HC#can

Termination

Just behind the RJ11 connectors is a 4-pin terminal block. On the last board in the CAN chain only (the one with a cable in only one of the RJ11 connectors), two jumpers must be fitted in that block to terminate the CAN bus. Jumpers must not be fitted in expansion boards that are not at the end of the CAN bus.

Ian
