Issue switching Extruder drives

DoxfordC

I need some help figuring out why I can't switch extruder drives.

I'm running a Duet3D Wifi with version 3 of the firmware.

For whatever reason, the extruder on my printer recently stopped working. The extruder's stepper is still functional though, so I figured I'd switch from the E0 to E1 extruder driver. As I understand, the way to do this is to change the M563 parameter D0 to D1 in the config file. However, if I do this, all the UI elements for the extruder disappear from the Duet web interface. If I attempt to activate the extruder via g-code, I get a "No tool defined " error. As far as I can tell, the second extruder is fully defined in the config file, shown below:

M375				; Load height map

I've also tried D0:1 which yields the same problem.
Additionally, I've tried uncommenting the the dual extruder section of the config and then manually switching to the second extruder via T1. The first extruder shows up fine, but I can't switch to the second. Checking the tool set-up with M563 P1 gives a "No tool defined" error.

Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks.

I believe you need an M584.

Something like

M584 X0 Y1 Z2 E4

As I understand, the way to do this is to change the M563 parameter D0 to D1 in the config file.

That should work, provided you have set up o the current, steps/mm etc. for the second extruder.

That's probably the simplest approach.
