@dc42 Well, I feel a bit daft now, changed baud rate to 5700 and all is well! If my Duet has incorrect baud rate set could that be the cause of my Firmware problem?

If slowing down the baud rate that much has an improvement that might indicate an issue with cabling or interference. Either way, glad you got it sorted out.

Got it, found one now, thanks for the help folks....

Although Duet3D is almost out of Duet Maestros, we have a good stock of the 2-driver daughter board. So if anyone else has difficulty, we should be able to help.

Here is the Maestro stepper expansion board.

Getting connected to the Ethernet boards is a bit simpler. It’s just a cable to the router. No username and password. The duet can take a dhcp address if the router will give it. And you should be able to have the router reserve that address for the duet. If none of that makes sense on the network side we can try to help but every router is different.

There isn’t a specific firmware for corexy but the configuration will be a bit different. I can share my own config later but the online configurator tool should be your first stop since you can customize it to your machine.

@Helensdad said in Core XY firmware.:

My D Bot is bog standard apart from using the 300mm square bed as opposed to the 300 x 220 version.

Take a look at the Z-bot in my signature. It's also a Dbot with 300x300 bed. I had to make a few modifications to the Z axis and bed frame to be able to handle the larger bed size. Mainly switching from 2 lead screws on either side to 3 lead screws in a triangular pattern. The cantilevered bed design of the stock build works ok with 2 lead screws because you can find the balance point fairly easily since it's weighted towards the wheel guides. But when the bed size increases it becomes much less stable, the balance point gets harder to find, and binding and bouncing is likely to occur.

In my case I added a front cross member to the bed frame to make it more rigid, added the 3rd leadscrew, and used a single motor and belt arrangement to keep the lead screws synced. Another popular way to go is to use 3 independent motors one for each lead screw and then use the automatic bed leveling to resync them and level the bed. This requires a Duex expansion board for the extra driver though. The issue with this approach is that the dbot bed frame and wheel sleds weren't designed to allow for the flex inherent in adjusting 3 separate points of the bed frame.

Just something to be aware of as you dive into it.

Cheers, many thanks.

Cheers! Many thanks. I will have a go at that, what can possibly go wrong!

Ok, many thanks....

All up and running nicely, Connecting to 24V psu did the trick. Many thanks...

I deleted and reinstalled YAT and all worked nicely, enabling me to connect Duet 2 wifi successfully . Many thanks...
