@nhof Thank you for answering those, "for moste of us" standard things.
for me totally new, and without questioning a way to misunderstand.
so if i understand right, within "tool" (group) i can define a complete axis, like the stepper, and the mechanical end switches.

Does the Duet can handle soft-switches ??

As i look at my Duet-2, i think i have a device overdone for my purpose of use.
not negatively, i find a use for them. thinking of temperature reading of my router bits.

At first, i am not a 3D printer person, i do work wit CNC routers an lathe's for me the important tasks are
the X, Y & Z axis, steps per cm velocity in mm per minute and acceleration.

As i be growing into the Duet-2, by "trial, ask & error", i find my self in expressions i have no clue what the are
and where or how to use them.
Reading is explaining a lot, but some main things i do not understand.
sometimes it is as 1 thing has two words, and the next moment in line as they are different things.

1, motor - Drive
2, printhead motor
3 tools
3 heater (why so many)
4, extruder moves
5, bang-bang mode
6, Thermostatic control

and there are more i assume

maybe someone can and will explain, how to see those in relation ..

Yess, Yess... This is the missing brick, On this i can continiu-

As in the file:

M584 X0 Y1:3 Z2 U9 E4:5:6 P5

where X= #0 stepper
where Y= #1 & #3 stepper
where Z= #2 stepper

Where U = dummy #9
where 4,5 and 6 are E-motors

i did just now:
M584 X5 Ym6 Ys7 Z8 U9 P5
where motor 5-9 are on the expansion breakout board.
As you see, i used Ym and Ys (master and slave), and P5 to make 5 motors visible.
than i did :
M584 X5 Y6:7 Z8 U9 P5
but non is happening...

@deckingman As i said before, i only have the basic config.g file.

0_1562877003983_config.g

i have tried to give the P a value of 5, but did not see really a change.

wat do i have: (board and machine are not hookt up yet)
X-axsis, Y-axis master and Y-axis slave Z-axis A and B axis (rotation head on the Z-axis)

Those last two i will be removed and not use on this machine for now.

the machine is screw-driven and i do use a stepper expansion board because the Duet 2 is not capable to run steppers over 2A, and i use external steppers.

@danal took a wile before i understood,
My board, laying next to me, is only hooked up tu 5 volt (usb) and not jet to the machine,

so as requested...

As i played with this M-code, and no change appeared, can it be so that the board actually has to be hooked up to the machine to show the status of the machine??

@deckingman ,@bearer , I still are reading and reading, my self in to this config.g file.
i do not have yet a config other than the basic one. (and experimenting from that point)

@bearer said in Display of axis:

they should be displayed if they are configured i think.

Jea, now you speak about so, i have read somewhere about this, can't remember where..

@deckingman thank you for the lead, i will make use of your info, and pointing me to the M584 code and the P values

I do not use the Duet 2 in a 3D printer, but on my CNC machines.
The machine i offered to electronic rebuild has 6 axis. 4 for the Cartesian movements ( X, Ym & Ys and the Z axis). on the Z axis is a kind of gimbal system (A & B axis) to move the former router under an angle.
If i look at the DWC screen, I only see 3 axis X,Y & Z.
Is there a way i can visualize within DWC all of my axis?? (position and movement)

quoted from a post by @DC42,:

@dc42 said in duetwifi breakout board and bltouch wiring:

    The breakout board inverts the heater/servo signals to be the "right way up", just as on the DueX boards, so you won't need the I1 parameter on the M208 commands.

do i understand right, that: "The PWM heater output on the Duet acts on the negative side, to pull it low, rather than pulling it high" but with the aid of an breakout board it will be the other way (pull it high, rather than pulling it low)

Yes.

So by this answer, The PWM question is answered in full, for witch i am thankfully.

@bearer said in lost in laser:

I can't imagine you should do anything other than taking 3.3v, 5v, gnd and one of the heaterN from the 50 pin extension

so, any 3v3 and 5v from the duet 2 will do

the 50 pin extension header is occupied by the extension

we do not have to much approachable lighthouses and only a few islands in the north occupied by tourist, i have to fly (or drive) to Norway or Sweden, way more enjoyment

@bearer ohhh... sorry, all i know that it needs pwm

I am not at my workshop (have to work sometimes)

@bearer, I do have a Duet3d (Duet2) (latest version) Ethernet, a Duet expansion stepper breakout, the "Duet Laser PWM Board" out of the link, a 5W laser diode,
all of this i want to hook up to an unemployed "work-bee".
as i said, i got confused by the pins and headers spoken about on this forum, and what i see/find on my duet 2. (pinouts)
i want to use (if possible) header E1 (minus side)
the expansion stepper breakout, has been choicen for the reason that my steppers can draw up to 3,2A. and have to use external drivers.

Hi there all,
as i am very new to the Duet3D, and the way of its operation and naming parts, I tried to read, this forum, search the www (Google) just to understand my new board and extensions.
I got a bit confused, in the way some writing things down.
i read about a header number, and a pin, but if i look at the pinout (or the board) i do not see those mentioned headers and pins, i do see E0, E1, E2

there is a part in the laser PWM controle, where is spoken of:
"This simply feeds the 3v3 lines into inputs 1A and 1B"
but if i look at the board, i do see more than 1 3v3 pins.
some one can help me out with this.
