@phaedrux Ah, ok. This was done with the configurator, so I must've selected something wrong.

Found it. For anyone else with this same issue who comes across this thread in the future, the heater needs to be associated with the tool in the Tools tab of the online configurator. (I had it un-checked).

Ok, looks like I got it. I wasn't aware that there was a separate homing file. Hadn't paid attention to it before as RRF configurator was generating my files.

Not an answer to your question, but I'm curious how big your print-bed is? I'm planning on around 18" x 18", and I'm thinking 3/8" thick will be good so it won't warp.

This is my layout:

@norder said in Homing direction not changing:

@neil
Za and Zb are connected in series and together they have only one driver.
I assume you have connected two axes there.

Instructions for connecting the stepper motors

I have 3 Z-motors, connected to ports "Drive 0", "Drive 1" and "Drive 3". So 3 motors, each with it's own driver. Z is working fine.

Setting up a Duet 2 Wifi for a custom 3D-printer build and I couldn't find a way to setup stepper drivers on the expansion board ports in RRF, so I'm manually tinkering the config file now. (First time I'm doing this).
X-axis driver is on output 5, and the X-axis homing switch is on the main board, xstop port. X-axis physical switch is on the right (high-end).
I set the X-motor direction such that I can hit X+100 etc on the DWC dashboard and the motor moves in the correct direction now. But changing the endstops from low-end to high-end does not change the direction that it homes towards... it's always to the left (incorrect). Am I missing something here?
M569 P5 S1 R1 ; Forwards x-axis, enable = High
M584 X5 Y6 Z0:1:2 E3 ; set drive mapping, 3 Z motors
M574 X2 S1 P"xstop" ; x-stop on high-end

Full config file attached in case there's something else relevant.

I got the Expansion board already, so I'll use that for now with the single extruder, but yes it seems the Duex is the way to go when I'm ready to uprade.

Was not aware of the PanelDue controller... I'll just get that when I'm ready.

Much thanks for your help. I dropped this for a couple weeks due to work crises, but back on it now.

Cheers,

@engikeneer said in Extruder heater config issue:

...
Just add H0 to your M563 which should fix it

Yes! Success!!! That did it.
I need to go figure out what I need to do in the online configurator so that it auto generates it for me.

Thanks for all the help everyone!

@engikeneer I do see an M563, which was created by the configurator. I'm reading though the docs for the command now, but here's my full config file in the meanwhile.
I do see that now (Heater 0 vs Tool 0), but my implied understanding is that the head is the tool, and the head consists of a heater, a thermistor, an extruder, and a fan... or is this incorrect?

@phaedrux Will try this, thanks.
