@Lexan do you have a part number for it?

i will check that out tmrw, just play with the idea to use a 3hc board instead the 2x 1lc

Is it possible to replace the closed loop HS557 driver with the 1HCL extension board?
Because I have the problem of an axis going into error mode with 6 blinks. 6 blinks does not exist in any of the online manuals so I cannot even check what is going on.
The even worse part is that this error only occurs after 20h of running at low speed.
Short runs at high speed are fine.
Nothing gets warm so far, so I need a new place to start.

if !exists(global.filamentDistance)
global filamentDistance = <- is here missing a point after global ?

@OwenD did you ever had this kind of error ?
Error: in file macro line 3 column 11: meta command: array index out of bounds

i put the runoutDistance = 3500 in the filament-error.g

@dc42 at the moment i use all 6 wires one by one from the 1xd to the signal port.
so i keep the rest the orientation from pull and dir + to + and - to -. just ena i change + to -.
i understand this correctly ?

Yes, just swap the ENA+ and ENA- connections over.

This was the Solution, Thank You !

@OwenD said in Filament Runout Event:

You will also need to reset the global to zero at the start and finish of prints, when a job is cancelled etc.

so you mean set global.filamentDistance = 0 in the start gcode ?
it works also without a pi, correct ?
cuz first time i see the deamon.g

I have a very unusual FIlamentline.
An extruder helps for loading next to the Spool with an Filament Runout Sensor.
After this follows a 3.6m long bowden.
then a small 5cm gap and the 2nd extruder on the printhead.

now my question, how can i tell the printer when the event is used to use the 3.6m filament and pause right after this, i would like to reduce the amount of wasted filament as much as possible.

M950 to define the pin and M581 for the event is clear, but how i define the left distance to print ?

@dc42 i can move them via G1 Commands, when i'm going to use M84 the Panel shows that i have to rehome all axis but the motors are still under power and not able to move the acis by hand

Hi,
I Have the following Setup:
Mainboard Duet 3 6HC - 1XD - 1XD - Mini5+

I tried the 5V Dasychain Connection Between the 1XD and The HSS External Driver, but with this Setup the Steppers wont Move at all.
So i Started with the alternative connection, also here nothing happened.
I read in the Forum that it helped to remove the ENA + and - Connection, now i can move my Axis just fine.
But I Cant unlock the motors anymore.
Anybody able to help me out ?

M569 P122.0 S0 R1 ;X physical drive 122.0 goes forwards
M569 P123.0 S1 R1 ;Y physical drive 123.0 goes backwards

@Lexan okay but then the control could also be from a toolboard, right ?
the way to the hotend is about 4 meters, so i would like to take the cables as short as possible
