      Hi Frank, I am also putting together an FT-5 also with a duet wifi. Could you please share you completed config file? There are some differences in our setups but the majority of it would put me days ahead in the learning curve.
      Thanks very much 🙂

      Here's mine:

          well it took more effort than I would like to admit but I am back online with an old win7 32 bit box so have access to system again. as promised not that it will be of any use but here is my current config. I need to work out the details for the m584 command then will get back to bltouch hopefully. Pretty sure I am missing a few adjustments like power to e1 etc. can someone check this for me and let me know what I screwed up? 🙂 I relocated 2nd z motor to series port and 2nd y motor to e1 guessing I need to update several other lines as well???

              y and z have 1 motor going against the other so I made this change and same result. I know I missed something but am clueless… any idea what I did wrong here?

                think I found a wiring issue and fixed it. now both y motors are wired the same but they are fighting each other so something still wrong same with z

                    x and y are working but z does not z motors are connected to 2 z ports and appear to be going in opposite directions. did I wire something wrong or is something configured wrong here?

                      still got something wrong hopefully with software, z motors not working and I cant figure out port numbers. can I get some clarification plz?

                        don't know what I did but seems to be right now. I had to adjust some of the homing files to fix movement but so far everything appears to be moving correctly again.

                          everything was working but now Y motor on left side appears to be lagging behind the right motor. very odd as they both appear to be powered up just 1 delayed. any idea if I did something wrong here. 2nd y motor is run off 2nd extruder port.

                            2nd y motor not always powered up. wiring looks good so going to triple check it but this has killed my printing completely. now just spews piles of molten plastic…

                              found loose connection that was killing motor. now both y run but 1 is really loud and doesn't appear to move correctly like right motor does. anything here indicate different settings between motors?
