Stepper motor getting hot
-
Hi, I'm new to the Duet world.
I recently fitted a duet2 Wifi to my Anycubic Kossel Linear Plus.
I've been fighting a little but as such it looks OK.I just have 1 problem at the moment.
I can turn on power and all is good.
If I home all then I get a machinegun like sound from 1 of the steppers (in completely free mechanical motion).
So this is not due to mechanical issues (which I confirmed with a seperate stepper just on the table and same sound occurs).When I start the printer all is as said fine.
When I home all the sound is there and when homing sequence is done I get a "sizzling" sound from the card it sounds.
Besides that the stepper motor feels like is not staying in idle like small movements all the time.
This I assume is causing the motor to get warm really fast and I have to shut down the printer.If I remove the stepper concerned then I have no abnormal noise and all the rest keeps cool.
I have as far as I know now set the same current for XYZ-steppers.I tested with a new stepper and this have never cause any issue before but the new one also heats up just being on the table (after having done the home commanc.
My Config file is as below:

By the way I redid all wiring on the steppers etc and nothing changed.
I checked the Stepper resistance but all look uniform.I'm a bit at a loss at the time.

Which tower motor is it?
It sounds like it may be the driver. You can remap that tower to use an open extruder driver using M584

Hi Phaedrux
Thanks for the quick reply
The issue is on stepper for the Y tower.
If I understand you right I have to use following command:M584 X0.0 Y0.4 Z0.2 E0.3
; Drives
M569 P0 S1 ; Drive 0 goes forwards
M569 P1 S1 ; Drive 1 goes forwards
M569 P2 S1 ; Drive 2 goes forwards
M569 P3 S1 ; Drive 3 goes forwards
M584 X0.0 Y0.4 Z0.2 E0.3
M350 X16 Y16 Z16 E16 I1 ; Configure microstepping with interpolation
M92 X80 Y80 Z80 E413 ; Set steps per mm
M566 X300 Y300 Z300 E300 ; Set maximum instantaneous speed changes (mm/min)
M203 X12000 Y12000 Z12000 E12000 ; Set maximum speeds (mm/min)
M201 X3000 Y3000 Z3000 E3000 ; Set accelerations (mm/s^2)
M906 X1000 Y1000 Z1000 E1000 I30 ; Set motor currents (mA) and motor idle factor in per cent
M84 S30 ; Set idle timeoutI hope this is correct

Unless you are using the RRF3 beta firmware, you won't use the decimal notation for the drivers.
But yes, you've got the right idea.

Testing a little regarding temp development at idle.
but as of now it runs muuuuuch better.
Looks like a shot Stepper driver from new
Will test a little more before any hasty conclusions
Thanks for the help so far

@Penola said in Stepper motor getting hot:

Possibly. If so, it should be covered under warranty by your supplier.

Can you post the results of M122 after trying to move the stepper as configured originally?
-
Sure.
I've attached 3 files.1 When bypassing Y-Driver and not yet idle
2 When bypassing Y-Driver and idle
3 as when the issue is present (machine gun noise + hot motor + not reaching full idle)At modified status (not idle yet).docx
At modified status (in idle).docx
At issue status (never goes to idle).docx
