Y axis moving when trying to move Z axis with multiple Z motors

deckingman

@HWW Just another suggestion but does it make any difference if you omit the H2 parameter? You'll need to use M564 H0 to allow moves prior to homing.

HWW

@droftarts Both the main board with M115 and the expansion with M115 B1 report back with Firmware 3.0RC1

@deckingman Using M564 H0 and omiting the H2 parameter from the G1 commands results in the same movements, so no difference there.

HWW

Dont know why I didnt think of this before using the M584 command on its own spits out the drive mapping in the console. I never got around to actually testing the extruders but looks like those are mapped wrong as well. You can see in this photo I tried entering the M584 with the mapping command as well and the report after is also screwed up.

The first info from the M584 shows 0.0 and 0.1 mapped into the first two spots on the z axis followed by 0.5 and 0.4 this is using the last config line I was using which was "M584 X1.0 Y0.0:0.1 Z0.5:0.4:0.3:0.2 E1.1:1.2"

Then in the console I tried entering my original config of "M584 X1.0 Y0.0:0.1 Z0.2:0.3:0.4:0.5 E1.1:1.2" and it again results in 0.0 and 0.1 in the first two spots with 0.2 and 0.3 filling the last two.

And in both cases the extruders are mapped to 0.0 and 0.1 which I never noticed before as well

Try defining those connected to main board without 0. on front.

@droftarts No change in the result from removing the explicit board number, I also went ahead and threw in my other test of assigning all the Z motors to the Y axis to confirm that entering the mapping into the console was changing things and you can see the strange result from that as well. The Y axis is mapped correctly but both Z and E are incorrect.

Can you try mapping all drives individually in order, eg
M584 X0.0 Y0.1 Z0.2 U0.3 V0.4 W0.5 A1.0 B1.1 C1.2 P9
And see what it reports?

The only other thing I notice is that in the RRF 3 overview notes, a comma is used to delimit the second board. Might be a typo, though? https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/RepRapFirmware_3_overview#Section_M584

@droftarts Assigning them all individually like that they mapped correctly, the drive map report matched the mapping command.

I played around with it a bit more and I think whats happening has something to do with having multiple motors on two axis

I tried M584 X0.0 Y0.1:0.2 Z0.3 U0.4 V0.5 W1.0 A1.1 B1.2 P8 and that mapped correctly

However when I tried M584 X0.0 Y0.1:0.2 Z0.3:0.4 U0.5 V1.0 W1.1 A1.2 P7

the resulting map was X0.0 Y0.1:0.2 Z0.1:0.2 U0.5 V1.0 W1.1 A1.2

Also in all cases the extruders were mapped to 0:0 and 0:1 which I think is a default value since no E parameter was in the mapping

Yeah look at this one
2019-12-21 17.59.07sml.jpg

M584 X0.0:0.1 Y0.2:0.3 Z0.4:0.5 E1.0:1.1

results in a reported drive map of
X0.0:0.1 Y0.0:0.1 Z0.0:0.1 E0.0:0.1

Yep. I just tried two axis with two motors each. Reproduced the issue.

Z should be 4 5, instead it is repeat of Y's 1 3. E is wrong as well, again, a repeat of 1 3

Interestingly enough, it is OK to have multiple motors on Z and E. This is my day-to-day configuration on a tool changer:

So, bug? One for @dc42? Thanks for getting to the bottom of it!

Ian

Danal

Certainly looks like a bug.

And I'm running what I believe to be the very latest:

Board: Duet 3 MB6HC (MB6HC)
DSF Version: 1.1.0.5
Firmware: RepRapFirmware for Duet 3 MB6HC v0.6 or 1.0 3.0beta12+1 (2019-12-02b2)

Danal

Same thing happens if X has more than one motor, it "overlays" all later multimotor axis mappings.

TRIPLE motor Z seems to work fine:

However, DUAL motor Z overlays E:

HWW

@Danal Triple motor Z also overwrote the E mapping

My best guess is that whatever values are getting used for multi motor mapping are not reset or filled or something between cycles of the code loop running

Danal

Yep, and it looks like it is the "single line parser" loop. Specifying each axis on a separate line yields proper results. For example, with this sequence, E never gets overlaid:

This also provides a bypass until this is fixed.

HWW

@Danal A workaround solution until things get a proper fix!! Fantastic. I was just about to ask what your day to day config looks like since in the example from before it E got overwritten but you had a working readout from your day to day.

Danal

@HWW said in Y axis moving when trying to move Z axis with multiple Z motors:

@Danal Triple motor Z also overwrote the E mapping

You are correct!!!

And I just looked in my actual config.g, and I'd separated the extruders because this is a toolchanger and I'm adding tools one at a time:

; Axis to driver mapping
M584 X0 Y1 U2 Z3:4:5        ; X and Y for CoreXY.  U for toolchanger lock. Z has three drivers for kinematic bed suspension. 
M584 E1.0:1.1               ; Extruders for four tools.

Man, a bullet dodged a few weeks back. That would have been VERY frustrating when I was trying to figure out a bunch of other stuff as well...!

It's probably a DSF issue not a RRF issue, because it doesn't happen when the Duet 3 is run in standalone mode.

dc42

It was an issue in RRF code that is only used when communicating with the SBC. Will be fixed in RRF3.0RC2.
