Motors not moving on delta printer with duet wifi

Phaedrux

Please post your config.g.

What firmware version are you using?

How are you trying to move the motors?

dwmee

Hi, thanks for the reply

Heres the config.g file

I bought the duet wifi over 18 month ago but only just got it out of the box. The firmware was v1.19. I tried to move the motors prior to updating to the latest last night, resulting with no change in the situation.

How are you trying to move the motors?

They won't move without being homed, unless you issue M564 H0.

dwmee

Thanks for the reply

Ive just tried your suggestion M564 H0. I get the response - Movement outside the bed is not permitted.

dwmee

If i try any move, like G1 Y10 for example i get this response:
M120
G91
G1 Y10 F6000
M121
Attempt to move the head of a Delta or SCARA printer before homing the towers

By the way, despite saying i updated the firmware, it still appears to be on:

Firmware Electronics: Duet WiFi 1.0
Firmware Version: 1.19.2 (2017-09-01)
WiFi Server Version: 1.19.2
Web Interface Version: 1.19.3

@dwmee

you could try to temporarily home the axis
G92 x0 y0

Before you do so, move the head so the carriages are in the middle of the travel on the towers and the head is in the centre. I would suggest doing that with the power off.

You also need to change your endstops from M574 x1 y1 z1 s0 to M574 x2 y2 z2 s0. This is because the endstops are at the top of the towers at the maximum travel.

@jay_s_uk said in Motors not moving on delta printer with duet wifi:

G92 x0 y0

Thanks for the suggestions

However, I still have no movement

The correct way to test the motors on a delta printer is described on the delta printer configuration wiki page, https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/ConfiguringRepRapFirmwareDeltaPrinter#Section_Testing_the_motors_and_endstops_individually.

Hi dc42 & jay_s_uk

Thank-you for your help and guidance. I have managed to update the firmware to the latest & all seems to work as it should. Continue to be helpful &awsome
