I have two independent tool heads where to first is calibrated to z = 0. The second toolhead is about 1 mm higher than the first one. I set in the config file, G10 P1 X-0.1 Y1.7 Z1 to set the tool offsets but when it prints with the second tool, the z height only goes down to 1 mm and prints too high above the bed. Is there another configuration I need to set?

I will try replacing it then. Also it seems to only happen while printing and not when I just set a temp and leave it for like changing filaments or something like that. Maybe its movement induced.

Here is a clip from during one of my prints that stopped do to a heater excursion:

The readings seem to be jittery but its not consistent. Just sometimes during a print this happens. I thought if it was a loose wire on the thermistor then it should be happening consistently and as far as I can tell the thermistor is tightly secured in the heater block. I am using an E3D V6 hotend with the cartridge style thermistor. I am wondering if anyone else has seen this and know why. Also I'm running RepRap firmware 2.02 and the latest Duet Web Control release.

Thanks

I was hoping for some sort of look ahead function during printing that will set the standby temperature to active on an inactive toolhead 'x' number of gcode lines ahead of the tool change 'T#' so as to cut down on print times waiting on the hotend to re heat during tool changes.

There were no solder bridges but I did replace the cable and that seems to have fixed the problem. Thanks

I am getting the errors:

Short to ground reported by driver 7
over temperature shutdown reported by driver 7,

when i power up the Duet and Duex using 24 V power supply. I am not performing any actions and I do not have any motor connected to driver 7. I only have a motor connected to the E2 driver on this board which I believe is driver 6. Any help as to why this is happening is appreciated

It still wont work. I got my duet a couple weeks ago and finally got around to setting it up earlier this week. I had loaded it with my config file and plugged everything in and powered it up and I came back 5 minutes later to notice the hotend was heating up. I think this was caused by a faulty IR sensor because the sensor gave my other boards problems as well. I was just wondering if you know of this happening and if there is an easy fix. As far as I can tell the only problem is with the WIFI because I can still controll motors and heat and read temperatures but I can't get the WIFI to work.

I have uploaded the files to the SD card as per instructions but when i try to send M997 S0:1 over pronterface I get

M997 S0:1
SENDING:M997 S0:1

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong. Also I am unable to connect over wifi. It does not show up as an IP address when I do a scan

@dc42:

You need to select a tool, for example by sending the T0 command. Otherwise RRF doesn't know which hotend you wanted.

I tried that using T0 through T3 and they all returned only the Bed temp

I set the Duet Ethernet to do Marlin output which was successful in connecting to octoprint but It only sends back the bed temperature and not both the bed and Hotend. Does anyone know why and how I could fix this? Thanks

My Panel Due is connected and wired up correctly and powers on but stays in the "Connecting" State and doesn't send commands to the Duet. It worked before and I can't figure out why it would stop working. I have restarted both the Panel Due and the Duet with no luck.

@dc42:

You can use the M584 command to remap extruder 0 to drive 4. But if you haven't shorted the output of that driver, ask for it to be replaced under warranty.

I ordered a surface mount TMC2660. Is it possible for me to just unsolder and remove the one that keeps heating up and replace. I plan to take it off the board because it is heating up more than I am comfortable with and wont give any output to the motor pins.

My stepper driver for extruder one is heating up really hot with nothing plugged in and i believe there is a short in it. How do i set it up so i can extrude only from the second extruder stepper driver on the board? Thanks

@number40fan:

If you have your laptop connected to the network wirelessly and you have your Octoprint connected with a cable, you can connect to it?

If you try the same with the Duet, it won't work?

But, it will work if you hook your laptop up to the network with a cable?

Correct

@Scottbg1:

Also, I'll add that you are able to connect to Octoprint over Wifi because I am guessing your Raspberry Pi is connected over WIFI.
Hence you being able to connect to Octoprint, but not the Duet which is plugged into a total different router.

The Octoprint is connected over a tethered ethernet cable same setup as the DWC. Thanks I'll see if the IT department can help

@Scottbg1:

Thomas, i just reread your message and I don't think I answered your question. But I will leave my answer above in case you need that info too.

Let me ask you this.

Do you have the Duet connected with an ethernet cable to the WIFI router, or is it plugged into the wall?
You mentioned you were on an enterprise network. I am guessing there is a separate switch or router handling wired connections in your local network.

I'm at a large university so it is just plugged into the wall, but using the same Ethernet port and cable with the octoprint allows me to pull it up on the WiFi but the DWC can only pulled up on devices with an Ethernet connection.

After some testing, I found that I can access octoprint from anywhere as is because I'm at a University and the IP address is a WAN but for some reason i can't access the DWC from any computer other than one connected to the internet with an Ethernet cable, not even one on the WiFi. Any suggestions as to why.

@Scottbg1:

I fiddled around with Octoprint for the very reason that you stated. I wanted the web cam. I have a Duet Wifi.

I connected the RasPi to the Duet board via the USB cable and it connected with no other setup.
Are you getting an error message when you hit the 'Connect' button in Octoprint?

FWIW, I ended up doing away with Octoprint. DWC does the exact same thing with a cleaner interface. Also you'd end up having to connect to DWC anyway if you needed to change any configuration. So I ported the Duet's ip so I could connect remotely.

I setup the Raspberry Pi with Raspbian and loaded a camera app. I ported that address and then entered that into DWC's URL for a web cam. It works great!

I do get an error message when trying to connect about the available port not working

My problem is I'm on an enterprise network so it works best to use the camera and control with octoprint. Also octoprint has some nice plugins I use but the interface is cleaner in DWC

How do you set up a webcam camera in the web interface?
