@Jim46 may I add to bearer that RRF3 has a changed syntax, please look to link https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Gcode#Section_M574_RepRapFirmware_Num_3
Some parameters changed, like the S parameter. And parameter P is important too.

Excellent!

How does one set up a Duet3D 6HC with RPi4 to wifi?

Hello All,
Just ran M98 P"config.g" and then M584 yielding...

5/12/2020, 4:19:04 PM M584 Driver assignments: X0.1 Y0.2:0.3 Z0.2:0.3 E0.0, 3 axes visible 5/12/2020, 4:22:10 PM M115 FIRMWARE_NAME: RepRapFirmware for Duet 3 v0.6 FIRMWARE_VERSION: 3.0beta11 ELECTRONICS: Duet 3 version v0.6 FIRMWARE_DATE: 2019-10-21b1

Loaded and ran commands from the Dashboard,

M584 X1 Y2:3 M584 Z4:5 E0

Hallelujah! It worked!
X1 X-50 and X+50 ran smoothly!
Y2&3 Y-50 and Y+50 ran smoothly
Z4&5 Z-25 and Z+25 ran the Z motors smoothly, NO effect on the Y motors now!
Gentlemen, please take a big bow and applause from me!
Jim
PS. I imagine that there are a lot of updates coming that I may ask for your help again.

@Jim46 said in Windows unable to flash Duet3 despite BOSSA port showing...:

Can you write this and would it work?

M584 E0 X1 Y2 Y3 Z4 Z5

ah, they all worked independently then, thats good.

afaik the correct syntax was M584 E0 X1 Y2:3 Z4:5 but it could be some of the other commands require changes. Suggest you end this thread and create a new called "Independent dual X and dual Z" and post your config there to attract a config wizzard

ref https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/7773/forum-feature-mark-as-question-solved/2 on how to tag a thread as solved. first tag as question, then tag as answered.

Also, on a lark, please try adding an endstop definition to config.g and trying G92 X0 Y0 Z0 again.

; Endstops M574 X1 S1 P"xstop" M574 Y1 S1 P"ystop" M574 Z1 S1 P"zstop"

Hi Bearer,
I fully intend to use the Pi4, but it as been recommended to run the Duet standalone as a test to see if the motor respond to commands this way.
I guess it will help narrow down why it is not working in its present setup of the Pi4 and the Duet.
Thanks for all your help,
J

Alright, thanks for the quick response. I'll give it a shot over the weekend and will update with the results.

There are non official videos by various vblogers. E.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nqddfxHla0 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AF3wHic4EMs&t=222s

I would start with a wiring diagram (what hardware goes to what Duet connector) and the RepRap configurator https://configtool.reprapfirmware.org/Start (and later tweak manually the generated config files as needed).

[considering the veracity of machines that use the Duet I think it will be very difficult to cover all or most cases. That's the cost of having customized and one-of use cases]

@Jim46 it is really quite nice and thermostatically controlled as well but you would have to remove those heatsinks!

Just a slight pitch for Sublime Text. It does cost money though...

I suspect things draw a lot less than we think. Manufacturers tend to rate draw as the absolute max.
