Toolboard 1LC Driver Issue

choblet

Everything works properly on the 1LC except the motor driver. The Hemera it is connected to has been confirmed to work using the z-axis driver from the 6HC Mainboard.

The firmware on everything is up to date.
All wiring has been checked thoroughly.
The heater, fan, and sensor connected to the 1LC work perfectly.

@choblet maybe you need a T0 at the end of the config?

choblet

@JoergS5 I will give that a shot and report back. I needed to get some parts out, so I just rewired and remapped the extruder to the Mainboard.

JoergS5

@choblet if T0 is not working, checking tfree0, tpost0 and config-override would be necessary also.

A Former User

If the hemera worked as the same tool T0 on the mainboard then changing which driver drives the tool uses wouldn't necessitate any other config changes than the M569 and M584. Presumably user or slicer is selecting the tool before use.

As you say sensor 20.temp0 is working there shouldn't be an extruder related reason for the driver not working; but it wouldn't hurt to swap say X and E M584 E0.0 Y0.1 Z0.2 X20.0 and see if the hemera moves with the X axis (presuming there is no filament loaded). You may need to issue let say G92 X100 to be able to jog X without homing.

JoergS5

I am wondering about the failedOp 0x80 for the driver in M122, but I don't find documentation about it. And lot of timeouts.

choblet

@bearer That's really clever, nice one.

T0

This did not make the extruder motor work, unfortunately. If you could check the code to make sure I understood and executed it correctly, my thanks.

@JoergS5 I really wish it could have been as easy as adding the T0 to the end of the file. I just ran the M122 B20 again and received the same error you were curious about. Timeouts were 7511 this time.

JoergS5

@choblet unfortinately the toolboard is so new, there is only few data available about it. The only thing was if you change the address from 121 to a different address, you have to reboot the board.

There is a sample config from dc42 you could check against for the settings.

JoergS5

@choblet what you can do is run
M98 P"config.g"
to see whether it reports an error processing the config.

dc42

The easiest way to test the motor is to map an axis to it e.g. X, then you must set the current, then try jogging it:

M584 X20.0
M906 X1000
G91
G1 H2 X100

You can send these commands from the console.

You can ignore the "failedOp" as long as there is no more than 1 write error recorded.

EDIT: actually the problem is this:

timeouts 10471

I'm not aware of a configuration reason that can cause that. Please ask your supplier to replace the tool board.

choblet

@dc42 Understood, I will get in contact with them and talk to them about it. I don't know what their return policy is, but I think I've had it for about two months, which seems way too long to qualify for a return. I'll keep you posted though.

Those who walked me through the syntax, showed me where I was missing information in error messages, how to utilize the different commands to cleverly debug and troubleshoot problems, I can't tell you how valuable that was. I learned quite a bit over the last few days. Thank you.

I approve a replacement, so your supplier should replace it. Please refer them to this forum thread.

@dc42 Thank you. That is so helpful to me right now, I can't even tell you.

No problem, and I'm sorry that you received what I believe to be a faulty tool board.

choblet

@dc42 It's no problem at all. The offer for a replacement along with how much I picked up over the past few days more than makes up for it.
