@t3p3tony I have found the problem. I have assigned the Fan to Tool 0. PrusaSlicer always sends M107 at the beginning of every .gcode file. So the fan always got disabled.

@t3p3tony This is the fan: https://noctua.at/en/products/fan/nf-a4x10-pwm
The current is 0.04A
I will try the M950 command today, but the thing is that it only persists on "out4" in thermostatically mode. The same fan works on "out5" just fine.

@t3p3tony I'm sorry. You are correct. The Fans are 12V and are powered through the internal 12V supply. I still thought they were the same from my old setup with the Duet 2 Wifi and yes I'm using a 4 wire fan.

@zapta The output is 5v, as well as the fan. If I unplug the pwm and tach wire the fan blows at 100%, only when I connect them it doesn't

I've setup a Noctua 5v PWM as my Heatsink fan. The problem is that it never blows at 100% but more like 10% or 20%. Is that a desired effect? Even when I manually set the fanspeed by putting S255 in M106 it doesn't work.
I'm using the Duet 3 mini5+ and the fan is setup like this:

M950 F1 C"!out4" Q500                               ; create fan 1 on pin out4 and set its frequency
M106 P1 C"Heatsink fan" H1 T45                  ; set fan 1 name and value. Thermostatic control is turned on

Is there an Ability to store the current fan speed? I want to modify the
"pause" and "resume" so that i can turn the fan off when paused and resume with the fan speed that i saved.

@gloomyandy @gloomyandy Ok. The sensorless homing works now.

The problem is that the motor current was to low.
Sensorless homing only works(for me at least) for currents between 480mA-800mA

The documentation highlights that you should/could lower the motor current ("Try to use as low a current as possible") but never states that motor currents which are to low may also not work.

Whats weird is that the lower motor current while in stealthChop seems to effect the sensitivity of the sensorless homing.
When the motor current gets lowered, the overall force/strength of the motor does not change. The only difference is that with higher "motor currents" (M913 between 60 and 100 of 800mA) the sensorless homing works, but with lower "motor currents" (M913 below 60) the Axis crashes like if no sensorless homing is configured. Even at "motor currents" of 1% the motor has the same force/strength as 800mA

Am I missing something obvious?

@phaedrux thx. The motor will move after that. Is that an expected behavior?

@gloomyandy I again tried the solution. This time I change the the S Parameter to -40
Now the motor stops at the end, but first I get "Error: short-to-ground reported by driver(s) 0
Warning: high temperature reported by driver(s) 0"
And then I get the Error" short-to-ground reported by driver(s) 0" every 5 seconds.

What can I do? I double checked, the motor wiring is correct.

Hello everyone,
I think i found a bug.

1. try to manually move a Axis while VIN is not in Range
2. VIN gets in the Range
   => new manual moves will not get executed. DWC thinks that the tool moves but the motor never turns.
   The VIN is controlled through a relay from a 24V power supply.

I'm running version 3.3 on Duet 3 mini5+

I hope i could help and not stumbled upon a intentional behavior.

@gloomyandy as i described earlier the V40 Parameter makes to Axis crash even harder. I have tried it exactly as your the post states (remove H Parameter, Add V40) and it doesn't work.

What makes this interesting(and frustrating) that the stealthChop seems to override the motor current settings. I set the motor current to 60mA. I couldn't even do a manual move but the homing moves and crashes the Axis at full force as if I set the motor current to 1000mA

Furthermore if i try to stop the motor before the Axis end with my hand I somewhat randomly get the error "Warning: high temperature reported by driver(s) 0", which makes no sense since the whole board was powered on for about 3 min. it has sufficient airflow, the fans where at 100%(MCU temps were 32degress celsius)

order of M569 and 913 is irrelevant (produces same results)

@phaedrux M915 S-64 was just for testing. I tested everything from -64 to 63.

I wasn't sure how to calculate the H value correctly. In the documentation of the "Compact but powerful motor" from e3d it says 1.68 amps per phase as rated current. The motor has 2 Phases, so do I need to use 1.68 or 3.36? Either way I tested it with H400 and no parameter. I tested many speeds but never got under 70mm/s, because the documentation of the sensorless homing from the duet highlights that higher speeds are important.

I have tried currents from 200ma to 400ma.

@dc42 I'm running 3.3

Hello everyone,
i'm currently trying to configure the sensorless homing for my Duet 3 mini 5+ but i can't get it to work.
The Axis keeps crashing regardless of the sensitivity (M915 S-64 or S63) or other Parameters.
I can only get the Axis to "stop" if I set the motor current to 200ma, but this only "stops" the Axis but you can hear that the motor wants to turn further.
I have also tried to to set the stealthChop range with M569 but that made the Axis only crash even harder.

Is there anything obvious I'm missing?

I appreciate any input.
