Wiring a Duet 3 Scanning Z-Probe v1.0 to a Toolboard v1.3
-
@WOPR73 yes that's correct. The CAN bus will run from the main board to the distribution board, from that to the tool board, and from the tool board to the SZP. It will be terminated with 120 ohm resistors at both ends i.e. at the Duet 3 Mini and the SZP.

@WOPR73 wait. what? 120 ohm resistors at both ends? Duet 3 mini? Mini what?
-
@WOPR73 I think you have a 6HC, not a Mini 5+. The mainboard has built in 120ohm resistor for termination, so you don't have to worry about terminating that end. At the other end of the CAN bus, the SZP provides the termination.

@droftarts yeah, I have a 6HC. I bought the distribution board after I saw that in one of the documents stating I would have to use a resistor in able to connect them. One would think that Duet would have some kind of unified standard of conformity for the connection between components that they have created. I am new to wiring up my own 3D printer and have to research a lot of this stuff to make sure I don't make a mistake. This is by no means close to plug-and-play. Welp, lesson learned I guess.
The Tool Distribution Board came with 4 premade CAN wires. I am not sure what would be easier or cleaner.
- Using 2 premade CAN wires running back to the Tool Distribution board. One from the SZP and the other one from the 1LC, both being plugged in at the Distribution board.
or - trying to undo one pair of the wires on the 1LC CAN connection and run it to the SZP.
Would have been nice to just have a CAN out on the 1LC. Either way I still need to take the 5v+ and GND from the tool board so it wont be clean looking. I really wish I would have seen this coming.
Any thoughts?

@dc42 Sorry, But I have a 6HC and a Tool Distribution board. So, I should not need the resistor. With splitting the CAN pair from the Distribution board and one pair going to the 1LC and the other pair going to the SZP. Still unable to M115 or M122 to either. And yes I do have the jumper removed on the distribution board. Using the same connection on the 24v power supply that is being used on the 6HC. Then running power from the distribution board to the 1LC and a blue light is on. But, no response.

I went back to the basics and I'm just using the 6HC, Tool Distribution Board and 1LC with supplied CAN cables that came with the Tool Distribution Board. Plus a default config from the RFF config tool.
I was able to upgrade to latest:

Can you share some photos of your wiring setup?

@Phaedrux Sure, Not the best lighting... but, it should do. I have just tried stand alone without a Pi4 and still can not talk to the 1LC.

@WOPR73 from your pictures, I can see that you need to remove the bypass jumpers on the distribution board under the 1LC connection.
Are you having problems connecting to the 1LC on its own? Have you ever been able to connect? I can’t see the SZP wired in in your pictures, looks like just the 1LC is wired in at the moment to the distribution board. In this configuration (I can’t see the SZP connected) the termination jumper should be fitted on the distribution board too.
If you still can’t connect, check that your CAN cable from 6HC to distribution board is correct; flat cables like you have are often wired incorrectly for CAN, see https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/Machine_configuration/CAN_connection#example-of-a-good-cable
Then check your wiring; that the wire from the distribution board CAN_H goes to CAN_H on the toolboard, and so on.
As others have said, if you’re only ever going to run a 1LC and SZP, the distribution board is a bit redundant. You can take two wires from the 6HC (to the 1LC CAN in, then two wires from the 1LC CAN out to the SZP. Set the SZP to provide termination.
If you plan to add more tools, the distribution board makes sense, though the tool with the SZP will still need to be the last on the CAN bus.

@droftarts Those pictures are when I started over to troubleshoot and I was just trying to talk to the 1LC by itself... without the SZP. I ended up going though the entire chain and finding out that the main power "OUT 0 Power in" and "OUT 0 (out)" was not working even know it was showing correct voltage on a meter and the 1LC had a blue light on. So, I direct connected the Tool Distribution Board to the mains power "power in". After that I had to grab the "Duet2and3Firmware-3.5.1.zip" and install that. Using the RRF Config Tool zip seems to have conflicting versions of DWC vs 6HC Duet3Firmware_MB6HC.bin file in the download zip. Even after getting each 3.5.1 file from github it still complained after many reboots and reinstalls. So, I ripped out all the files started fresh with the "Duet2and3Firmware-3.5.1.zip" and the 1LC is able to be talked to.

It will not respond to the reset button on the SZP other than a quick green light, then back to flashing fast red. The SZP is/was fastened to the backside of the 3d printed part that the 1LC was on. I'll try to explain the connections I've made hopefully I have it correct. BTW. I bought the Tool Distribution board to avoid the janky resistor that I would have to use if I didn't buy it. Plus who knows what I might add later, right?
From the Tool Distribution Board using Tool 0, 4) CAN1_H and 3) CAN1_L I have connected to the 1LC and able to communicate with.
From the Tool Distribution Board Using Tool 0, 2) CAN_H 0-1 and 1) CAN_L_0-1 going to the SZP.
The SZP does have the solderable jumper on the back of the SZP to set the termination resistor.
The Tool Distribution Board does have all the default jumper on except for the two jumpers on "Tool 0 CAN - FD".See Photos:
So, I am going back to reread the info on Duet and CAN to see what I missed and how I can get the SZP to talk... and then flash with new firmware. I assuming that is what the fast red blinking means. Any help would be great. Thanks!
Oh, yeah, the CAN cables are bought are from Filastruder on in the Duet section of the store. They're not home made looks like the good cable on that link... just black. But, I have made RJ11 and RJ45 cables before.
Now... I found this: "Only one Type 2 probe can be configured, and if using Duet 3 then it must be connected to the Duet 3 main board, not to a CAN-connected expansion or tool board."
M558: Set Z probe typewhy? umm. what is the point of the 1LC... more limitations than it worth. Am I missing something?
-
@WOPR73 Fast flashing red light on the SZP means no CAN connection, which is because you have wired the CAN incorrectly. You can't wire the SZP to the green and white wires from the Tool Distribution board (TDB from now on). If you just had a 1LC, they are the wire that would return from the 1LC to the TDB, to loop on to the next tool (ie the T1 output on the TDB).
From the TDB, the black and white wires should connect to the 1LC. Where these enter the 1LC, there should be another wire pair, that would normally return to the TDB. In your case, they should go to the SZP, and then back to the TDB, like this:
The SZP will actually be on a 'spur' from the CAN bus. Doing it this way will mean the TDB will provide termination to the CAN bus, so you don't have to terminate either the 1LC or the SZP.
Regarding the M558 probe limitation, it has nothing to do with the SZP. The SZP is an entirely separate toolboard from the 1LC. Yes, it's a limitation of the 1LC that not all types of probe can be connected to it. But most probes are encompassed by the types supported by the 1LC. A type 2 probe is a modulated analogue IR probe, which barely anyone uses any more. See https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/Connecting_hardware/Z_probe_connecting#z-probe-modes-selectable-in-firmware
Probes connected to Duet 3 expansion or tool boards are limited to types 8 and 9. Firmware 3.5 also supports type 11.

@droftarts the black and white wires are coming from the TDB and going to the 1LC. As well as the white and green are coming from the same TDB and going to the SZP. Are we saying the same thing? Are you saying that I should daisy chain the CAN from the 1LC to the SZP and not from the TDB?
-
@WOPR73 no, I’m saying it goes from the TDB to the 1LC (black and white wires), then to the SZP (wires I drew), then back to the TDB (yellow and green wires). No termination on the 1LC or SZP, termination on the TDB.

@WOPR73 on the TDB, think of the black and white wires being ‘out’, and the green and yellow being ‘in’. It needs to be a loop from ‘out’ to ‘in’. There aren’t two ‘outs’ on one header.

Thank you once again. Great help! Thanks!

@WOPR73 that’s not quite how I told you to wire it, but it works because, I assume, you have termination on the SZP?
The problem you will have in the future that the CAN bus continues no further than the SZP, so you can’t connect anything else to the TDB. The TDB isn’t like an Ethernet hub. It’s not a star topology network. See the wiring diagram for the TDB here: https://github.com/Duet3D/Duet3-Tool-Distribution-Board/blob/master/Tool Distribution v0.5/Duet3_Tool_Breakout_Schematic_v0.5.pdf
It loops on CAN connection to the next. At the moment, you have no return from the SZP. If you wire from SZP back to the TDB, you’ll need to remove termination on the SZP and terminate on the TDB.I think it may also be possible to wire it as a stub, but we recommend that stubs are under 1m long, and usually only have one toolboard on each stub, whereas you have two. For this, put the bypass jumpers back on, remove the termination on the SZP, and terminate on the TDB.
If that’s too confusing, let me know and I’ll draw a diagram.

@droftarts Yeah, I was wondering about that. I think I have more of an understanding of how CAN works with the TDB and other CAN devices plus what the repercussions to soldering that 120 resistor bridge would be. As for now I just need to get this up and running with all the Duet 3 hardware configured. Just finding the correct commands for each piece of hardware is a little overwhelming. I the best that I have found for commands in the Reference/Gcodes. It's not how I though Gcode commands would work. But, this is some default code put in via RRF.
Example:; Probes
M558 K0 P11 C"120.i2c.ldc1612" H5 F120 T6000 ; configure scanning probe via slot #0
G31 P500 X0 Y0 Z0.7 ; set Z probe trigger value, offset and trigger heightNow I need to go through and look up and configure each device and its specific parameters... and verify with the manufactures data sheets. I guess step at a time.
Thanks again!
-
@droftarts I have more time to work on this again. So, I am going from the TDB (Black and White) to the 1LC, then from 1LC (yellow and green) going to the SZP. I do have the termination joined on the SZP. Is that not what you were trying to tell me?
