Commissioning woes, cannot Home All
-
Hi all, first post.
EDIT I think I fixed my problem, see my fifth post, but I'll leave this here for educational purposes.
I am well into the commissioning for my Rostock Max V2 upgrade to DuetWifi, IR Probe, 24V Meanwell 600W PSU and other changes. Duet Firmware is 1.17, Web Interface is 1.14b4, WiFi Server version is 1.03.
Last night I finally started playing with the upgraded printer, I had Auto Calibration working, though I hadn't conducted a test print.
As of this morning Auto Calibration is back to timing out as the printer attempts to probe the air a few centimetres above the bed. After failing to get a Z probe trigger seven times there is an AJAX error and I have to reset the board before I can reconnect. I have checked my delta radius and printable radius along with the endstop heights in config.bin, they seem fine, and unchanged from when I had Auto Calibration working last night. I have tried this with the hot end and bed both at print temperature and cold. Same result. Both worked yesterday.
In my attepmts to diagnose this and fix it I would like to manually check Z=0 height, but now when I attempt to Home All so that I can take manual control of the printer, I get AJAX errors and have to restart the printer. The Duet Wifi does not seem to be resetting, if I have the hot end and bed at set temperatures the Duet will go on maintaining those until I reset the board., it just won't talk to me via the browser.
What seems odd to me is that Auto Calibration, even though it now fails to reach the bed, Homes All as part of its script without resulting in AJAX errors, so I don't think there's an issue with the tower endstop switches or their wiring.
Error after attempting Auto Calibration.
The board while web interface is unresponsive. The correct LEDs seem to be lit to me? Certainly temperature/fan control is continuing.Any advice would be appreciated.

Can you also post your config? It sounds like there is a problem somewhere that is causing the board to get stuck trying to do something it shouldnt. I'm not a delta person but without the config no one will be able to really help

OK, just found an error: I had deleted "B" from in front of the printable radius at the M665 config line. Fixed that, and now things are working again. Thanks for getting me to post my config, it prompted me to read it with fresh eyes somehow

Cool, you spotted it before I did!

This firmware and hardware can work on so many different machines and a simple typo can make so much go wrong, that we have to have the config to even begin to diagnose anything. That being said, great job finding your problem before anyone else had a chance to
I do have a delta with a 0.8.5 board but it sits unused 6 months out of the year probably… I'm thinking of decomissioning it to salvage the motors for a CNC Router
and move the 0.8.5 to one of my other printers
