Delta X,Y,Z towers anomalies
-
Hello,
I have the Duet2Wifi installed in the delta frame of an Anycubic Kossel Linear Plus (i.e., 680 mm tall towers, base and top triangles with 300 mm sides, and 240 mm bed diameter). I also have the Delta Smart Effector with 288.14 mm Haydn Magball rods. I have mechanical active high endstops at the towers' tops. X,Y,Z and E0 motors are configured as "forward".
Duet hardware is 1.02 and the installed firmware is 2.03.
Problem:
Every time I restart the machine, the web interface has yellow Home buttons (message below says "The following axes are not homed: X, Y, Z"). I click the Home All button, the X,Y,Z towers do the home movement up to the top, then the "The following axes are not homed: X, Y, Z" message disappears. Now, I try to individually move each carriage up or down 5 mm (using the "Machine Control" screen in the web interface). This is where the weird stuff happens.
- Try to move X down 10 m, but this happens: X goes up about 5 mm, Y goes down 5 mm, Z does not move.
- repeat the Home All procedure
- Try to move Y down 10 mm, but this happens: X goes down 5 mm, Y goes up 5 mm, Z does not move
- repeat the Home All procedure
- Try to move Z down 25 mm, but this happens: X and Y and Z, all move down at the same time 25 mm.
After each movement listed above, I cannot do anything else until I repeat the Home All procedure, otherwise the message "G0/G1 target position not reachable from current position" appears.
Here is my config.g

Try to move Z down 25 mm, but this happens: X and Y and Z, all move down at the same time 25 mm.The X/Y/Z controls in the machine control section refer to build space coordinates, not to the towers themselves.
So it is nothing but expected that issuing "Z down 25mm" will of course result in all carriages moving down by 25mm.
Same goes for movements in X and Y directions - the all are combinations of moving the three tower carriages of the delta printer.Why would you need to move a single carriage (except for testing purposes, which can be achieved by G1 S2 commands - see https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Test_axes_or_motors_individually)

Hello
That was right. Moving individually works correctly.
One more question, though. Please can you tell your opinion on why do I see the message "The following axes are not homed: X, Y, Z" after every restart, given the control.g file with the code listed above ?
Thanks again,

This is correct behavior. If the machine is restarted, it does not "know" where any tower/carriages are. It has to home them, and keep track after that.
Here is my Delta, immediately after a restart:

Also note that any of the four home buttons (ALL, X, Y, Z) will have the same result on a Delta... all three towers will home... the separation of buttons is really for Cartesian printers.
