Bench Testing Mixing Extruder with Pronterface
-
I'm new to Duet Wifi but have experience with TinyG and Mega/Ramps: I'm setting up a machine with a mixing extruder - communicating successfully with Printrun via USB and attempting to bench test my mixing extruder - I only have one tool - I believe it is T0; after setting the tool with T0 command and issuing G0E10 printrun issues pack 'no tool sellected'.
I thought that the T0 command would sellect that tool and then I would be ready to test my extruder motors... My machine is a paste extruder so it does not utilize any heaters and I believe that is disabled... Is a there a duet wizard out there that can help this newb kick of his training wheels?

It looks like you've posted the contents of config.json, can you post the human readable/editable config.g instead?
Also, what firmware version are you using?
Have you tried interacting with the board through the web interface rather than printrun?

@Phaedrux running 3.0 and I have also tried the web interface - more comfortable with printrun at the moment
clay/ceramic slurry printing - experimental multi-material mixing for ceramics - shapeoko based carteisian - kossel based inverted delta -instagram @earlyamericanrobotpottery
-
It would appear that you don't have any tools defined at all.
-
-
@Phaedrux - it does seem there are not tools. Hmm - I used the Web RRF Config Tool - I guess I'll go back and run that again. Thanks - just finding the config.g file was super helpful. I was confused why my config file was so hard to decipher.
-
@deckingman Thanks for pointing me in the right dirrection - much appreciated.
-
@ractorIII No worries. Come back if you need more help.
-
@deckingman - with that note - trouble - I was expecting to be able to designate a tool that utilized 5 extruders with a simple text command M563 P0 D0:1:2:3:4 with printrun it bounces back that there is an error with the drive numbers. Also - I have not been able to issue simple gcode commands via Duet Web Control - though I am able to connect...
-
What does the error say?
What happens when you try to send commands in the DWC console?
-
@Phaedrux Nothing happens when I attempt to send gcode through the Duet Web Interface - though the log state that I am connected, the log does not indicate that any code was sent. Another issue that I am having with DWC is that if I attempt to upload the zipped reprap config file I get an AJAX error and it disconnects. If I remember right - I was having this issue before and had to disconnect my power supply from the board and run it strictly of usb to get the upload to work - very inconvenient. I guess I'll open my housing and pull the micro SD out to update reprap config files.
To the issue at hand, which is getting a tool designated for bench testing my extruder setup. The following is how print run responds when issued:
SENDING:M563 P0 D0:1:2:3:4
Error: Tool creation: bad drive number
[ERROR] Error: Tool creation: bad drive numberI'm using a duet wifi with x5 expansion - I have a total of 7 extruder steppers and for this tool I am trying to use the 2 that are on the Duet Wifi and the first 3 that are on the x5 expansion.

-
Sounds like you might have a mismatched DWC version? What versions are you running?
-
@Phaedrux - you may be right - this is what is listed on DWC. Should the Web Interface Version be HTML: 3.0? I'm starting to get very confused...
Firmware Name: RepRapFirmware for Duet 2 WiFi/Ethernet
Firmware Version: 3.0 (2020-01-03b3)
Web Interface Version: HTML: 1.11 -
-
@Phaedrux - not able to upload file with DWC - followed instructions here:
to unzip DuetWebControl-SD.zip onto SD card after deleting old file contents
issue remains - AJAX error when uploading files via DWC
-
Just to confirm, you've wiped out the /www folder and replaced it with the contents of the zip file and the DWC version now shows as 2.0.7?
What browser are you using?
-
@Phaedrux -scratch that - installed and seems to be in sync now.
still trouble defining tool head - same bounce back from DWC on issuing M563 P0 D0:1:2:3:4
'tool creation:bad drive number

M584 X0 Y2 Z1 E3:4:5:6:7:8 ; set drive mapping
How do you have your motors connected? The drive mappings don't match what you're trying to use for tool drives.
