@smece hi taht could be good as a first step
i don't how the .g will be different between duet E vs Duet 3.

don't know anything about duet3 so can't help there, just recently tried the duet2 myself (was sitting in a drawer for year+, I'm mostly smoothieware user and was delaying duet3d testing as I dislike the structure of RRF source code and I love to tinker with the code, now I'm at a place where with 2 kids time is so darn scarce that I just need something that works and I don't care to tinker if I don't have to so for those type of projects duet looks like ideal solution hence me digging in) and I started out with RRF3 figuring, if I'm diving into it, better start with latest, especially if a lot changed so RRF2 knowledge will have to be scrapped anyhow ... so hopefully this will help you and not lead you astray

• XYZ moves, homes..
• BED, E0, E1 heats
• E0, E1 extrudes (have not calibrated yet steps but I'm mounting dual flex3drive here so exact steps_per_mm values would not be useful for you anyhow)
• bltouch works in terms of - deploy, retract, have not yet tested actual probing and mesh compensation since I just designed the holder for flex3drive + bltouch for ender5 so hopefully I'll be testing it today (just printed, hopefully it's properly designed )
• have not yet tried actually printing!!!

config.g
deployprobe.g
retractprobe.g
homey.g
homex.g
homeall.g
homez.g

super important note to be aware of - I never used duet before, I just mounted it recently on this ender5 and started with RRF3 so while this "moves" and "heats" and "extrudes" I have not yet started printing with it (still working out mount for flex3 drive and waiting on some connectors for hexagon hotends) so make sure these do not lead you astray instead of helping you out!!!!

@smece Thanks for you time and file, i ll digg in

you are welcome, I'm sure there's much to be done there so post progress here so we can both learn from it

Hi Duet Forum.
I have spent 2 days on RRF3 and Duet 3. I was my first hours on it ... It's a pleasure, i like this board. I'm moving from another board + Marlin to this one.
Of course it was not so obvious, but with the Documentations (already great) and the forum postsss, I made good progress.
3 Axis+ Endstops / 2 extruders + Sensors + Fans / BED / Heated Chamber / ... everything works. few things are not working yet, i'll write other posts about them.

I share here my config.g, hopes it could help :

Hey !
I missed the announcement ?? Duet 3 available on ==> RRF Cofiguration tool here : RRF Config Tool

Thanks for that !!!!

[T3P3Tony]

@steevebecker give it a go, feedback requested

[steevebecker]

@T3P3Tony first test works well:
My conf:
On 6HC:

• X-Y-Z steppers
• endstop X-Y-Z NC/low end
• Bed heater + T°
• Chamber heater + Fan + T°
• Filament compartiment T°
• Electronic compartiment T°+ Fan
  then on 3HC
• 2 Extruders - 2 Fans- 2 Thermocouples
• 1 Servo
• 2 filaments presence
• IR Camera T°+ Fan

Just a Question How to add a T° sensor with out a heater ? Bed/Chamber/Nozzle Heaters are possible but can I add a sensor alone on a I/O with the RRFCT ? same for a Servo

AFAIK you need to add these manually to your config.g as the config tool does not set them up for you.

See https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Gcode#Section_M308_Set_or_report_sensor_parameters

Uf you give the sensor a name it should show up in the "extras" tab in DWC

[Veti]

the tool tabs does not allow to select anything else that E0 for extruder, heater and fan

[steevebecker]

@Veti I have partially the same problem
in the I/O Mapping Tab, I have added : +1 Driver for the second extruder, +1 Heater, +1 Fan
pin out everything
but then in the Tool Tab, tools there is only FAN0 available for any tool.
I/O TAB:

Fan TAB seems ok:

But then in the Tool TAB

[Veti]

ignore my comment above its working.

@steevebecker

you need to disable thermostatic control for another fan.

[steevebecker]

@Veti Make sense ! It works

[jlipavsky79]

is this stable for duet3 config?? Also..... im setting up a duet3 as a cnc controler...

How about cnc stuff???? A tab for cnc config like for the spindle speed output setting, for turning on and forward and reverse. Configuring for a vac system for triggering through gcode.... maybe for coolant pumps through gcode..... probing like digitizer probe.....

[T3P3Tony]

@jlipavsky79 that's a good point, we do need to extend the config tool for CNC and Laser modes of operation. I hope some of the CNC experienced on the forum can suggest good options and reasonable defaults.

@chrishamm Hi, great work. I try to use this tool in safari browser 13.04 bud I can not open/edit XYZ Offsets in the too tab. Could you tell me please how can I fix this?

Thank you

[Danal]

You should get a "popup" or "overlay" like this:

Does safari have any way to turn off popup blocking?

[PaulHew]

Please could you look at the issue in regards to selecting BLTouch as a probe type for the Ender3 template with RRF3 in the config tool.
It is currently greyed out and is unselect-able.
I mentioned it in a previous post and DC42 informed me he would look into it.
Veti gave me the lines I need for it to work, mapping the pins.
Thanks
Paul

I can select the BLTouch with RRF2 and RRF3 but in order to select it with RRF3, you need to assign the PWM Control Channel on the I/O Mapping page first. Then you can activate BLTouch on the Endstops page.

[PaulHew]

@chrishamm Thanks for the fast reply!
I have a Duet Maestro board.
On the I/O mapping page I cannot select any of the 'PWM Control Channels (BLTouch only).
I can see them in the drop down but they are not selectable.

My thinking was if I was able select BLT on the Endstops page it would automatically create the I/O mapping.

Edit: Also on the Endstops page I cannot select 'Z Probe' for the Z axis

Regards,

Paul.

[chrishamm]

@PaulHew You must set "Z Probe Mod Pin" to (not assigned) before you can use it in the input below. I'll consider that suggestion.
