Issues setting up duet wifi with dual x axis motors and endstops

dc42

I confirm, endstop switches are allocated to axes independently of stepper drivers. In RRF2 the endstop switch allocation is automatic and can't be changed. Your U axis will be allocated the first unassigned endstop, which is E0. If you created another axis such as V, that will be assigned to E1.

BTW, RRF3 handles multiple endstops on an axis automatically, without having to create additional axes.

@dc42 soooooo are you saying for us mere mortals that i can leave the motor in its current connection in the E1/dr 4 slot but i just need to move the endstop to the E0 endstop slot? or should i move both?

@droftarts the panel due enclosure i printed is this one

Yes, you can leave the motor on E1/dr 4 and move the endstop to E0. Like I said in my earlier post!

Also, when I was running your config.g, I realised you must have leadscrews on your X axis, with the steps per mm of 400. However, at the speeds the axis was hitting during jogging (100mm at F6000), I got motor phase disconnection warnings, which can happen if the motor is turning faster than it can cope with, and will lead to missed steps. I was using some standard NEMA17 motors. If you are, I'd set your X axis speed limit a bit lower.

SUCCESS!!!!! WOOHOOO.....

finally.... everything as far as the x axis is concerned is working as it should now. Thank you so much everyone. now i feel safe enough to install the cross beams to physically connect the two vertical posts.

I did get the errors you were mentioning as well... i can slow them down or up the current i suppose but i already had them to 1000 mah if i recall... what would you suggest for a max for nema 17s on lead screws... with two motors on the x it should be able to move x around without breaking a sweat... lol

It's recommended to target 70-85% of max rated motor current. You can go as high as 100% of rated but the motors will get quite hot.

@wingtip Are you running a 24V PSU? Mine is on 12V, but 24V will more than likely help you achieve higher speeds. See https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Choosing_and_connecting_stepper_motors#Section_How_to_work_out_the_power_supply_voltage_you_need

@droftarts

wow thats a lot of math. Im not trying to calculate a launch window and trajectory to mars..... lol.. That page talks about 150mm/s on 12v and mine is on 12v, 1000amp supply... dude im used to printing at a max of 40mm /s right now... if i got 80mm/s and kept accuracy i'd pee my pants with excitement....

If you guys want to see what im working on that requires a larger printer than my FT5..take a peek here... this is a collection of photos over the past several years of designing and redesigning, printing, redesigning, re printing, tired of paying others to print then build my own printer, then start building my big printer lol

You're making a model of Wet Nellie!?

@Phaedrux not just a model a functional model...

@wingtip I saw that your profile image was the James Bond Lotus Esprit sub, but didn't realise you were making one!

Heres a quick video showing you the printer ... thank you everyone.

Looking good. Keep us posted on your progress. And feel free to ask for any help as you go.

@wingtip I'm fighting the same issues with dual X and dual Y motors. Can you post your final config.g and homeall.g (or homex.g)? Might be able to figure out my problem without needing to make a new post.

Thanks.

wingtip

@wesc I believe these to be my current config... id have to double check at a later time but these were my backup files so i think i had updated them when i last was messing with it... im still building/ modelling the printer so its not finished.
