I was getting back to rebuilding my Voron powered with a duet 3 and toolboard. I was fixing a jam, and I think I think I touched an open +3.3v line from IO1 against ground running down to the extruder. Stupid mistake I know, and the magic smoke was released from the 3.3v chip:

I have a solder - rework station now, and I tried to steal one of these chips off another toasted 1.2 board I had laying around which didn't workout. When I power up the printer, I just get a blue light on the Vin port.

What are my chances of getting some of these chips in an hot air gunning this chip off to repair the board? Or am I better off just buying a new 1LC board...

@DuetUser

I've done this before for a dual drive Z axis on machines in the past without issue. You could give it a shot and report back how it went? The goals of an AWD system for a Voron is to shorten the belt paths, and to get as much power into the motion system as possible.

@dc42

Is there any way to look up or request DWC to record the actual print time?

undefined

quick question, is the print time in DWC 3.4.6 the actual print time or the simulated time posted by the slicer?

Thanks!

Update on this, it seems like anytime you change config code that affects the endstops or the drive mapping you get this weird behavior when you just run the config file. If you completely reset the board or power cycle it everything behaves just fine.

Long story short you can run 4x Z motors split across a can connection, but you need to fully power cycle between config updates.

Gotcha,

I tried moving 2 z motors back to the HC3 so I could get the 4 XY motors on the 6HC. Sensorless homing works great and after power cycling the board I'm not getting the weird behavior where one set of of Z motors moves at a different rate than the other two. It's definitely something going on over the CAN connection as I saw 2 motors display the weird behavior instead of just the one.

I'll keep running it this way so I can avoid the extra wire

@jay_s_uk

ahhh that's definitely what it is. So the motors on the expansion board aren't being red as an endstop... Any chance 3.5 is adding that feature?

Might have to using one wire on the gantry for endstops after all...

@Phaedrux

3.4.6 all the way through.

Yep can do:

homey.g homex.g config.g

@jay_s_uk

Seems to be working well now, thanks for the recommendation!

Unfortunately, sensorless homing isn't working now. I can home to Y no problem, but when I home to X it will not trigger as an endstop. If I turn on R1 parameter it's definitely reading that motors are stalling. Is there any chance I have the X and Y motors flipped and backwards or something like that and the sensorless endstop is looking for stalls on the wrong motors? Or does S4 on a corexy look at all the X and Y motors?

Problem is that I’ve got 4x motors on the x and y for an awd setup. I don’t want to run into the same issue on my gentry system either.

Here’s an idea, what if I do 2x X motors on the 6HC and 2x Y motors on the 3HC? Then keep all the z motors together on the 6HC?

Any body that’s done an AWD setup have any input here?

We're almost there on my Duet 3 powered Voron 2.4. Everything is working, except I've got a weird issue where sometimes I get one of my 4x z motors to move a lot more than the other 3 for one Z command. I've got the Z probe setup now with sensorless homing on X and Y, but right now I can't figure out why my back left Z motor is moving way more than the others for a given Z command. It also seems to only do this in positive Z movements, not for negative ones. Here's my config file to look over, can anyone find an issue that would cause the Z motors to not all move the same amount for a given command? The Z motor that is behaving differently is connected to the HC6 mainboard, the other 3 are on the 3HC. Is there something else I need to do to define steps/mm or something like that?

@Phaedrux

I'm an idiot, I was using temp_1 instead of temp_0 in my config. disregard, works great now.

updated to latest stable build and updated both CAN boards, no difference on the PT1000 reading.

@Phaedrux

Can you confirm if it still works?

Do you have a standard thermistor to test on the toolboard?

I've got the duet pretty well torn apart, I can dig up a power supply and try reading from it quick. Would it be faster to grab a thermistor and try reading that instead? If it can read a different temp probe type then we should be able to say that input pin works right?

Currently working on setting up a voron 2.4 with a toolboard. Everything was going well until I wired up my PT1000 sensor from a Rapido v2 UHF to the toolboard. It's reading 2000 degrees C whether I have the sensor plugged in or not. If I measure the resistance across the male side connector for the PT1000 I get 1080ohms or so. When it's installed to the 1LC board, I get roughly 750ohms.

Any ideas on what's going on or how to diagnose it? This sensor was just working great on my duet 2 setup.

Currently on DSF 3.4.4, mainboard is on 3.4.0 and 3HC and 1LC are both at updated from 3.4.0.

Firmware related to heater and temp sensor:

;Heaters & Temp sensors

M308 S1 P"121.TEMP_1" Y"PT1000" ; configure sensor 1 as thermistor on pin temp1
M950 H1 C"121.out0" T1 ; create nozzle heater output on out1 and map it to sensor 1
M307 H1 B0 S1.00 ; disable bang-bang mode for heater and set PWM limit
M143 H1 S350 ; set temperature limit for heater 1 to 350C

Update pictures:

AWD installed, 4 motors are all wired up and turning the right way.
Belts installed, archetype -breakneck tool installed. Toolboard mounted, and ready to go!

Can bus has been really easy to setup and I'm loving the simplicity in the wiring out to the tool head. I also made a decision to go for sensorless homing to completely remove the wiring harnesses from the xy axis.

Things left to do:

Tighten and sync AWD motors.
Finish wiring toolhead.
Install CPAP fan, wire, program it.
Print out frame parts for the CPAP fan because. I forgot to print those out.
Put everything back together and sort out firmware and macros for duet 3!!

I think the part I found is similar but miniaturized and would be soldered in. I guess my real question was to see if there was a better electrical engineering solution to this than just throwing in an a DC-DC converter. I'm also curious if the tachometer pin will work properly if I change the voltage.

We'll see soon!

I had the day off and got a lot done on the upgrades. One thing I'm running into is needing a 5v power supply for the 5v fan recommended for breakneck: https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/delta-electronics/ASB02505SHA-AY6B/7491489

What would be the best way to get a 5v output from OUT_2? I see that it can be selected for either V_in or 12v, I was thinking about getting a tiny 12v to 5v buck converter. Anybody have a better idea on how to wire this up? This is what I found: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B779ZYN1/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A3BHBZ2FB4T3LK&psc=1

I might convert over to AWD today yet, we'll see. I'm importing this fan from the UK, so it'll be a bit before I can get the upgraded toolhead put together and installed anyway.
