if you change the wiring e1 & e2 to e3 & e4 (switch off the board before) does the problem follow the motors ?

If I change the motors, the problem is the same.
Will replace the expansion boards. I suspect that the problem then resolves. It's not the cables and motors. In my opinion, G code is also correct. I can not judge whether it is a software problem.

that's how I see it too,your config.g is so far ok so it can only be the expansion board

I got another expansion board today and of course tested it. Unfortunately, I was happy too early. The problem still persists. It wasn't the cables and motors that I tried with another ender today.

maybe it's because of the software itself

FIRMWARE_VERSION: 2.01beta1(RTOS)

You're on an old version of the firmware. Have you tried the latest? https://github.com/dc42/RepRapFirmware/releases/tag/2.05.1

Firmware update instructions: https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Installing_and_Updating_Firmware#Section_Usual_procedure

I can't see any particular problem with your config.g. However, you also have M501 in your config.g. Please post your config-override.g file.

Ok have Duet Maestro (firmware version 2.03) on it.
With M501 I got the following.
Warning: Macro file config-override.g not found.
Will now install the new version 3.05.1.

The solution can be so simple. Update successful. Test Jupiiiii it works !!

Many thanks to @droftarts and of course @slam

@Beat I think support for the Maestro Dual Stepper expansion was added in 2.01, as the only mention in the What’s New document is

On the Duet 2 Maestro, the 2 optional add-on drivers are now assumed to be TMC2224 with UART interface

This may not have been in 2.01 beta you were running. If you had 2.03, that should have worked.

@Beat send M115, post response. 2.05.1 is the latest, has many improvements over 2.03.

So far it works. The first test print was completed. It "prints". Well not where I want it yet.
