Aaaaand it worked! Thank you! sorry for not reading the instruction properly from the beginning. xD

@dc42 That is an even cleaner solution. Thanks for the suggestion.

Best regards
Oskar

@Zseven have you seen https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/Machine_configuration/CAN_connection#mainboard-used-as-expansion-board ?

@dc42 @droftarts
Now the tedious work to get config edited and I/Os wired, assuming I am going to stumble on sopme issues, so questions may arise.

Cheers

Hey @droftarts and @dc42 - FYI this issue is fixed in the alpha firmware linked by Andy Everitt in the github issue for this bug: https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/issues/1039 Thanks again for all your help on this!

droftarts created this issue in Duet3D/RepRapFirmware closed [Bug]: Motor brake reports error when configured on mainboard used as expansion board #1039

@dc42 Thanks for the idea. So I decided to use io3.out. I have this in my config.g

M452 C"io3.out" F500 R255 S1 ; configure Laser port
M563 P1 S"Laser"

is this correct? I don't see anything showing in DWC for the laser, am I missing something, are there any other files I would need to configure outside of config.g?

@Bad-Joker for the SZP board it probably makes very little difference which side you cool it from. I suggest you cool it from the back and put thermal insulation over the front.

@droftarts Thx 🙂

@ortondale
Hi Thanks for the help, up a running ok.
Looks like a new bed plate called for!

@pro3d
Another possibility could be to power the pump with the bedheater out, if it is free.
I power my waterpump with the bedheater to be able to completely shut off the pump with a "M42" command. With PWM=0, the pump will not fully turn off...
But i run a 12V system. Not sure if you can wire the buck converter to the bedheater.... i think it should be possible...

@droftarts No, they're not... Which is something I'm going to do very soon.

Thank you for your feedback, I will contact support 😉

If the error seems to follow the driver and now the motor/cable then it would seem the connectors are alright and the fault is in the driver.

All fixed!
I cannot explain when or how, but config.g was gone. It took my [digital] son all of five minutes to find [that] to be the whole problem. Backups took care of it.
I just wish I had video of exactly how I caused it.
I must slow down and be much more careful. Now I can continue with my spindle.

@marco_meier Those drives can use a 24v signal, however they will also accept 5v Step/Dir signals on the proper pins, so you can simply run 6XD 5v to CN1 pins 3 and 5, and Step- and Dir- to CN1 pins 4 and 6, respectively.

All you really need to concern yourself with voltage-wise is the 24v enable signal, which the Duet team has confirmed the 6XD CANNOT sink on the EN- pin. The enable circuit on my breakout board would do what you need, and you could easily coble something like that together without making the whole board. Really, any simple relay/electronic-switch style setup that allows you to trigger a 24v connection with the 5v-tolerant EN- pin from the 6XD will accomplish what you need.

@droftarts Thank you very much Ian for your elaborate answer. That solved it!
I've chosen the easy route and used I_O4 and I_O7 and they are working perfectly now.

@droftarts Thank you for the reply, that answers my question!

@RockB the answer is available in this thread:

@jay_s_uk That worked perfectly, thank you very much!
