@herve_smith Yeah, but it sure felt good in the moment. I really hope you can see the humor in me saying that, you're right and I know it. I picked up on 3D printing in general fairly well, I was upgrading firmware and modding my first printer to direct drive the first week I had it, II easily picked up on Marlin, figured out Klipper Mainsail Fluidd in hardly any time at all. My printer has been down now for going on 3 months and time after time of trying to figure out RRF and Duet continued to stymie me and I reached a boil over point. Not saying it was right or good just trying to help you see what got me there.
So now for your questions... I have and Ender 3 V2 udated ( I say updated and not upgraded) with the ender extender and the Z-drive kit. In that process the guy I was emailing with at ender extender recommended that I get an SKR2 board to upgrade my main board at the same time. He nor I could have known at the time that Marlin didn't get along with BTT SKR boards, that had specific layouts and I tried from about January of this year to make that work. Unsuccessfully, at least unsuccessfully with my configuration and how I wanted it working, specifically having the extra Z motor and driver and really wanting to have that second Z drive home independently of the first one. I mean I spent hours and hours for weeks then months trying to get that to work correctly but there was always some kind of bug that was at least one of several confirmed bugs that had not been fixed in more than a year and a half at least. I still don't think they're worked out but now that I have cut off and replaced all my connectors for this Duet board I had lost the motivation to even go back and try it again.
There is no config file, I haven't gotten that far. I got all my connectors re-done with the ones that came with the duet board but I've never been able to get through the configurator to get there.
I got my board from Amazon June 9th from 3DMakeWorld, Inc. I think that's all the questions you asked, did I miss any?
Oh one more upgrade is the bed heater, 120 Volts, 750 Watts also from Amazon with the DC to AC relay. That part seemed to work fine.
So I have an Ender 32 V2 printer with the extender kit that gives me 400x400x500 volume area for printing, I have a dual Z axis with it's own motor and driver and endstop. I have a raspberry pi 4 but I'd rather run it in standalone mode without that. I would love it if I was able to utilize all the functionality the board has to offer including stealthchop, pressure advance, you know, all that stuff. Independent z homing... I have looked at the documentation and I know where the power goes, where the bed heater goes, where the drivers hook up on the board, I used to know where the fans, thermistors, heaters and endstops hooked up although I haven't looked at it in a while and would need to refresh my memory on those last ones. I have zero ckue about reprap firmware, no idea how to write macros. I know that the configurator is supposed to set up all the initial stuff for you and I even imagine when I had the config file that I could probably look at the examples in the config file and mostly understand what was going on with them, likely confidently enough to alter ones already written, make new ones that I needed, like that second Z drive, maybe more but I can't get through that configurator. page 1 i select custom configuration, page 2 is general where you tell it your axis limits, what kind of printer, homing speeds and such, then the third page is expansion boards with a hole bunch of options I have no isea how to answer, oh yeah probably an important thing to note. I have no bltouch. A couple of the next pages I could probably just hit next but I honestly just don't know and don't know where to go from there.
So I get frustrated with it again and my printer just sits there again. did I leave anything out?
