Duet3 Expansion Board 3HC - No CAN-Connection

@deckingman said in Duet3 Expansion Board 3HC - No CAN-Connection:

Just stumbled across this thread and I haven't read every post so might have missed something. However, I did notice quite a few things that are wrong with the config.g.
Firstly, the commands M350, M92, M566 M203, M201 and M906 are per axis, not per motor so all those colon separators need to be removed. (But keep the colons between the extruders because extruders are treated like individual axes).
Secondly, you have created an additional "U" axis but you have not set any of those above parameter for that U axis. So all those M350 through to M906 commands need to have U values as well as XYZ, and E.

Ok... you are absolutely rigth! Shame on me!

I changed this now....

@dc42
You are also right... there is an older firmware ... now I want to Upload with Bossa but there is no connection... The board is erased now...

now I want to Upload with Bossa

thats usually a recovery option, and a few people have struggled due to bad usb cables and/or ports, as well as there seems to be a bug in Bossa affecting some users, but not all. M997 and/or DuetWebControl is the preferred option.

have you tried other cables/ports? can you try a different computer (/operating system)? some have found it helps using a USB hub.

I've generally found it works well from Raspberry Pi's, but others have also had encounters with the aforementioned bug there.

@bearer

Yes i tested a new USB Cable and it worked!

@dc42 Now the Main Board and the Expansion Board hast the newest firmware.... Thank you!

The Homing of the X-Axis and U-Axis works well now, but the Y-Axis doesn´t...

the y-motors turn but do not yet react to the end stop. The Y axis works with 2 motors and an end stop (connected to 1.io2.in). the endstop is read out correctly, I have already checked that if I unplug it, of course it does not react, so it is properly connected. where do I still have the error here?

.

[CR3D]

Any ideas here?

I can not find a mistake till now....

[dc42]

Does DWC display the correct triggered/not triggered status for the Y endstop, or not?

[CR3D]

@dc42

Yes... if i manually move the axis the signal is shown right...

The sensor is correctly connected and also correctly mapped to the Y axis.

The sensor is correctly connected and also correctly connected to the Y axis.

If I actuate the limit switch of the Y axis before homing (i.e. put the axis in home position), the Y axis reacts and sets the axis as referenced.

If the limit switch is not actuated when homing, so the axis should move in the direction of the limit switch, the message "Homing failed" appears. I configured it so that my bed moves down a distance first. If homing failed occurs, the bed moves back to the starting position but the Y motors continue to rotate and do not react to the limit switch.

If I reference the axis manually with G92 Y0, I can also move the axis correctly.

Everything seems to be correct, but the normal homing of the Y axis does not work.

The config was created with the configuration tool. The homing of the other axes also works perfectly.

1. I'm not clear about which bit is going wrong, so please can you tell me:

• If the switch is already actuated when you give the home command, does the axis move, do you get the "Homing failed" message, and if so does the message appear before or after the Y axis stops moving?
• If the switch is not already actuated, does the axis move, if so what happens when you trigger the switch, and exactly when do you get the "Homing failed" message?

2. Also, please confirm that M115 B0 reports firmware 3.1.1, and M115 B# (where # is the expansion board address) reports firmware 3.1.0.

3. Please post your complete config.g file.

[CR3D]

The Firmware is the newest one:

So for Case 1: Endstop triggerd before homing

The engine turns very briefly in the direction away from the end stop (which is normal in my opinion)
I get no Homing failed message

Case 2: End stop not triggered before homing

Z axis moves down
Y-axis moves towards end stop
Z axis moves up again
Homing failed is displayed
Y-axis continues to move and does not react!
However, the screen shows that the state of the end stop is changing!

now i have the same phenomenon with the x axis. This axis is also controlled from the 3HC.
Here it is a bit different ... the end stop reacts to the first hint, then reduces the speed and then it no longer reacts to the second trigger ...
The other axes, which are controlled by the main board, work perfectly ...

I really have no idea what is the problem here ...

[deckingman]

@CR3D Bit of a long shot here but try this. After the first G1 H1 (first pass), the axes will (should) be flagged as homed. So after that, you don't need to use the H2 parameter to move away from the end stop. Try taking out that H2 in those G1 Y-5 and X-5 moves( but you ned to leave it in for the Z moves).

[CR3D]

@deckingman

I will test this too!

@dc42 any ideas now?

[CR3D]

I think we can narrow down the error further ... it definitely has something to do with the 3HC ....

I have now put X0 and Y on the mainboard and the homing of X0 and Y worked!

[JoergS5]

@CR3D what is strange that the Y had different rotation directions: S0 and S1 when on 1.1 and 1.2. In your original config (Jun 23rd) it was same direction. In your new mapping it's S1 both again. Do you have different stepper wirings? (or direction is wrong and your Z isn't working now, S0-S0-S1)

[CR3D]

@JoergS5

No ... you are right...

but that's right ... I need different directions ... before that it was set wrong ... and here I also had a mistake ... but the directions have nothing to do with it ... I only had a few things were adjusted and at the beginning I had not installed any straps ...

the error only ever occurs when I control the axes from the 3HC, ...

[dc42]

I've made a note to try to reproduce this next week. It looks like a firmware bug to me.

No problems here with my CoreXYUVAB and assorted motors/end stops/expansion boards. The only thing that jumps out at me is that the OP has end stops on the high end whereas mine are all at the low end. So if there is a bug, it might be related to using end stops at the high end?? Just a thought...................

[dc42]

I was thinking the the original issue might be related to using more than one Y motor.

I'm using 3off Y motors. But thinking about it, they get re-mapped to individual axes for homing so you could well be right.
