Added Duex5 - Really need some help
-
The creation of the U axis is only needed when doing leveling using endstops. The Z axis is split into Z and U and each side is leveled by homing to the endstops. But you are using a probe, so no U endstop, and so no need for a U axis. None of your files even call to move it.
When using the probe to level as described in that link you only need provide the locations of the lead screws with M671 in config.g, assign your motors to the Z axis, and then in bed.g probe close to the lead screws.
Your separate issue of the driver overheating warning on the Duex is of greater concern. I would suggest that you connect a motor to each driver on the duex in turn and configure it and test movement to establish whether your duex drivers are all functional.

Isn't the BLTouch acting like an endstop? I just changed the config.g with all mention of the U parameters deleted. When I rebooted I still had the driver 5 error. Also I got no movement from any axis when trying to home. That is because the homing calls for the Z to be raised first. So, since I have the Z defined to include two drivers, the Z does not work without the U parameters included. I purposely skewed the table to the side a bit and when I restarted with the U parameters included, it homed and leveled the bed perfectly as it has been doing all along. From what I understand, the adjustment done to either the Z or U axis is done automatically after it is probed on both the right and left side. It is not a movement called out in the config.g file, but in fact I can visibly watch one or the other motors adjust after the probe.
I am first to admit that I am a novice at this, but I can confirm what has been working and what hasn't been.
I am now going to disconnect the duex and see if that eliminates the error.George

I disconnected the duex again. The error went away. I reconnected it. The error is back.
Do we need to get David aware of this in order to OK a replacement? Not sure of what the procedure is except I remember another thread where a customer said he needed David ok to get a part replaced.George

No, it's acting like a probe.

That's not how it works.
M584 X0 Y1 Z2:4 E3assigns the drivers to their axis. Now when you set values for the axis they apply to all drivers assigned to that axis. So any command for the Z axis applies to both driver 2 and 4.https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Bed_levelling_using_multiple_independent_Z_motors
Please read that link and you'll see what I'm talking about. The only difference between what's described in that link and what you have configured is that you've also added commands for the U axis, which doesn't exist because it was never created with M584.

I'm not a novice, but I'm not omniscient either. Together we can work out what is happening and understand why.

For now that is a good idea.

Yes, that's what's happening in your bed.g. But there is no U axis.

Can you share that version of your config?
-
Ok, I went and changed it line by line. I am able to get rid of all the U parameters except in M92. If I delete them in M92 it will not work.

by the way, Thank you for the time you are spending on this for me.

What exactly does it do?
Where are your motors plugged in?
With the U stuff completely removed and the Duex disconnected what do you get when you send M98 P"config.g"?
-
When I try to home it stays busy and the arrow circles spins and then I get a homing error.
Same with either x or y. Same if I comment out the raising of z before I home.Motors are plugged into:
X in 0
Y in 1
Z in 2
E in 3 or E0
U in 4 or E1Well what do you know. With the duex removed and U removed from M92, it homed correctly.
With the duex reconnected and U removed from M92 - no movement and driver 5 error is back. -
I need to leave for about 90 minutes

What happens with duex connected and M92 U removed?

As a sanity check, I configured X to use driver 5. When doing so I get no movement from X motor.

Exactly like that.

I think you have a failed driver 5 on your Duex. When was it purchased and from where?

June 26 from Filastruder. I contacted Tim there and gave him the link to this thread.
-
Well at least our endeavour wasn't totally fruitless.
-
I do appreciate all your attention to this. You were able to get me corrected about the U parameters. That's a win.
I do need to start a new thread about why my laser wont operate from gcode commands.
