You are totally right! I will rewire them for further testing.
However, do you see any reason why stealthChop should force such a behaviour?
So why does this never happen when stealthChop is not configured anymore ?

@gloomyandy

So when starting to home the axis move some centimeters before triggering the phantom-endstop.
There is no error message or sth like this and the system just treats the axis as homed.

The endstops are wired exactly as written in that guide (between the IN and GND pin). I also did think about some kind of interference, however somehow the axis and endstops work perfectly when no StealthChop is defined.

I have the same approach for the Y-Axis where none of this behaviour occurs...
Probably I should replace that axis for further tests over the weekend (even though I don't see any reason how a phantom endstop can be set up and get triggered )

Thanks for your thoughts so far!

@gloomyandy
That was my attempt to maneuver around that behaviour
I tried to set the max value for stall detection, so it never gets.
I tried the setup without that line as well, but the behaviour stays the same.

If I set up the axis without StealthChop it works perfectly fine (but too loud for my application)

Dear all,

some time ago we started setting up our 3D system (Dual Z and Dual Y) with the Duet 3 6HC mainboard. This one is equipped with the TMC2160 motor drivers.
Our system is equipped with endstopps at every axis. However, when I set StealthChop mode for the X-Axis, the homing of the X-Axis gets triggered without hitting the endstop, resulting in a wrong position of our printbed. The X-Axis is set up in a way to always work in StealthChop.

My motor config and homing protocoll looks as follows:

@achrn
Perfect, thank you for the detailed explanation! Really helped me to fix my issue.

@achrn Thanks for the reply!

So I attached an LED between GND and out4 (with the corresponding serial resistor of around 220 ohm).
If I connect the LED between GND and V_OUTLC1 it lights up brightly and everything is fine. If I remove the pin from the V_OUTLC1 and connect it to out4 I cannot make the LED light up, no matter what S value I use for the M42 command. The LED is still working, so that is not the issue.
I also tried to leave the LED connected between GND and V_OUTLC1, but out out4 -->GND still sits near ground.

Maybe I get something fundamentally wrong, but maybe you could give me some more guidance on how to apply a positive voltage to an external pin.

Hey all,

First some Information: I am using a Duet 3 6HC (v1.02) mainboard (with two Duet 3 1HCL expansion boards, which work perfectly fine). I am trying to use the Duet 3 "out4" and "out5" pins to drive a small voice coil motor (with the adequate motor driver in between). Therefore, I need to set the PWM Pins to 3-4 V.

What I did so far:
Configure the pins in the config.g (M950 P10 C"out4", M950 P11 C"out5"). The Pin numbers are unique and not used otherwise.

Sending M42 P10 S0.5
Sending M42 P11 S0.5

I tried to measure the voltages according to the docs, however, I get the following results (the jumper is set to 12V):
(https://docs.duet3d.com/duet_boards/duet_3_mb6hc/duet3_mb_6hc_v1.02_d1.1_wiring.png)

GND --> V_OUTLC1 : 12V
GND --> out4.tach : 3.3V
GND --> out4: 40-60 mV
V_OUTLC1 --> out4.tach: 7.5V

If I use the same procedure with the out3, I can precisely adjust the voltage with the M42 command.

I am happy for any feedback on possible error tracking/fixing!
