No to beat a dead horse but did you know that as an open source project, you can get free licenses from Atlassian for Jira?

My humble apologies for saying "We will always agree to disagree...". It was not you @fma; in fact you never posted to that thread.

I didn't take it for me, don't worry

There are perspectives in the user community that the overhead of merging a "bugfix only" N.0.N into N.1.0 would yield a negative return when implemented by a very small (almost one man) development team. We'd prefer to stick to the current arrangement.

I understand that RRF is not developped by a large company/community. But I developped a few free softwares myself, and didn't have much troubles to use major.minor.bf. But I admit I was not as active as David is (it was only on my free time): RRF is releasing tons of new great features very quickly... Maybe it could be acceptable to release less often?

I also know that it is much more interesting for a developper to add new features rather than fix bugs or refactor code. But these steps are mandatory for quality.

I always take Gimp as example: releases are very rare, but always great quality, and I never had a single crash with this software, nor nasty bugs. The team ensures the code is rock solid, and I think it is a very good approach, very respectfull for users.

Last, I apologize for putting coins in the juke box, and restarting that thread

Hey, no problem. Philosophical debates are kinda fun.

What does the new "standard" entry look like on a Maestro for a Duet3D PT100 daughter board?

M308 S1 Y"rtdmax31865" P"ctemp" F60 ; Activate PT100 hotend temp sensor

This gives me 2000C at ambient, and the pin names for the daughter board were not obvious to me.

 edit: Ah, so spi.cs1 (from Duet WiFi section) seems to be the secret sauce. How do you do the virtual driver listed below?

 ; M308 P101 X1001 S"DuetDriversTemp"	; Virtual heater to display stepper driver over temp flags

Also, without changing my numbers when I converted the old M305 to 308 for bed thermistor...

M308 S0 P"bed_temp" Y"thermistor" R4700 T100000 B3950

I got 6.4C at ambient. Before they were within a couple of degrees at ambient.

Next question...

After I set M669 K1 and run the CoreXY tests the motors run as expected. But running a simple "G91", "G1 H2 X10" results in both axis moving in plus direction. And "G1 H2 Y10" moves X+ and Y-.

Do you mean "both axis moving" or "both motors moving"?

It's always been that way on CoreXY machines, because G1 H2 moves are individual motor moves.

Well my homex no longer functions after changing S commands to H commands.

If I run Home X a second time nothing happens and I get a spinner.

@3dmntbighker That's odd. Homing works for me on my CoreXY using H1. Mine is a bit complicated because it's actually a CoreXYUVAB but the pure X moves are essentially the same as yours. The major difference I see in your file is the use of G4 which I don't bother with. Try taking those out. If that fixes it, you may have found a bug.

Edit, There is one other difference in my homing files. I don't use H2 in the Z move - I have M564 H0 in my config.g to allow moves prior to homing. So if taking out the G4 commands doesn't fix it, try using M564 H0 instead of the H2 Z move and report back (in case you've unearthed a bug).

@3dmntbighker Sounds like a similar issue to https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/13409/large-core-homing-issue

It doesn't matter if I set X end stop active high or active low. The axis won't home (move) unless I hold the switch on, and stops when I release.

To clarify that, are you saying that you can change between S0 and S1 but the axis won't move unless you press the switch? What does M119 give you with and without the switch depressed?

Correct

M119
Endstops - X: at min stop, Y: at min stop, Z: at min stop, Z probe: at min stop

Pressed:

M119
Endstops - X: not stopped, Y: at min stop, Z: at min stop, Z probe: at min stop

Also, after I attempt to home X nothing will move. None of the axis respond to the move buttons in the interface. Changing M574 from S0 to S1 gives the same result.

deckingman

@3dmntbighker So all the end stops are inverted. In which case changing from S0 to S1 should fix it. Unless you have unearthed a bug..........

Try using "!" to invert the end stops instead of the "S" parameter. i.e. M574 X1 S0 P"xstop" should give you one condition and M574 X1 S0 P"!xstop" should invert it. You want M119 to say "not stopped" normally and "at min stop" when the switch is pressed.

deckingman

Another thought.......you haven't got any M574 commands in your config-overide file which might be overriding config.g have you?

@3dmntbighker Assuming you get the endstops configured, here are my working corexy homing files if they'll help. Notice I don't use H2 at all.

G1 H1 X-10
G1 H1 Y-10
G1 Z-2 F200

homexy.g gets called from homeall.g

Oops, forgot to mention... If Z isn't already homed, you'll need to add H2 to the Z moves.
