Extruder motors no longer working

jay_s_uk

I've created the most basic config I can think of.
Setting it to use a driver on the main board works,
Setting it to use a driver on the expansion board doesn't

M584 X1.2
M569 P1.2 S1													; Drive 6 direction | Tool 2
M350 X16 I1             						; Configure microstepping with interpolation
M92 X160    							; Set steps per mm
M566 X1400     							; Set maximum instantaneous speed changes (mm/min)
M203 X25000 					; Set maximum speeds (mm/min)
M201 X1300 						; Set accelerations (mm/s^2)
M906 X1300  					; Set motor currents (mA) and motor idle factor in per cent
M84 S30                                 						; Set idle timeout

Think its time to warranty the board.

@jay_s_uk Have you tried reverting to the last known working firmware version?
@dc42 can you look at this thread?

@jay_s_uk said in Extruder motors no longer working:

have updated to 3.01 RC2 on both the main board and the expansion board.
Neither of my extruder motors are working any more.

Revert to 3.0 release and see what happens.

Update

Reverting the main board to 3.0 and the 3HC to 3.0 RC2 (Most recent previous release I could find) allows the use of the drivers.

I then applied 3.01-RC2 to the main board (with 3.0 RC2 still applied to the expansion board) and that also worked.

As soon as I apply 3.01-RC2 to the expansion board, all the drivers no longer work so it looks like there is a bug somewhere.

@dc42 would there be any compatibility issues running 3.01-RC2 on the main board and 3.0-RC2 on the expansion board until this gets sorted out?

@jay_s_uk Apolgies in advance if this seems like a daft question but we all make mistakes and forget things from time to time. So did you run M997 B1 after loading the expansion board firmware?

jay_s_uk

@deckingman
Yes. Each time I ran M997 B1 and checked using M115 B1 that the firmware was loaded.

For me, 3.01-RC2 does not work on my expansion board

Thanks for your report. I know what is going wrong and I will have a new build of the expansion board firmware to fix it later today.

jay_s_uk

Oh good, at least it's not just me

Fixed in latest build of the expansion board firmware at https://www.dropbox.com/sh/3azy1njy3ayjsbp/AACquxr2m00eV568RZg5QG5wa?dl=0.
