Sd won't load on boot
-
My sd is formatted using SD formatter to FAT32, cluster size default
i have been using this duet for 6 months now and one fine day it stops working i had a problem with the Ethernet rj42 socket so i was using Ponterface for a while
now i don't think its a hardware issue because M21 loads the sd and it reads everything but it just won't load on boot plus once it boots there's nothing happening to the stepper motors when I'm trying to control it from Ponterface, probably because config.g didn't load on boot. i dont know whats going on is it my config….?
i even tried a different sd card
a 4gb and a 16gb, both giving me the exact same result

If config.g is not read at boot time then the motor currents will not be set, which explains why the motors don't run.
Is this a Duet 0.6 or 0.8.5 board? If so then it could be a problem with the Card Detect contact in the SD card socket, or the soldering of that pin to the main PCB.

i re-soldered the pins on to the pcb it still has the same effect its probably internal in the sd slot

that's whats bugging me how come it did not read before ;(or
could it be that my config is too big and it times out before reading it or something…? -
I can see two possibilities:
1. A power supply issue. If the power voltage is rising very slowly, it is possible that the Duet is ready before the SD card is.
2. The CD pin on the SD socket is not working, or not soldered properly to the PCB. This happens sometimes Duet 0.6 and older Duet 0.8.5 boards. It's the end pin at the row of pins on the back of the SD card socket, and under magnification it is easy to see whether the pin is actually soldered to the pad underneath or just resting on it. A bug in the ATSAM3X8E chip means that once the firmware has initialised the temperature sensor, the state of the CD pin no longer matters.
I think #2 is much more likely.

ok thanks david
ill look into it and get back to you -
so i checked the connections and they seem good on the outside. Test came out negative so its probably contact problem is inside the sd slot itself i did them again just to make sure, and emailed t3p3 about replacements.
ok the good news,
i think i can still run without the glitch
maybe by setting the entire config in a macro and then calling it, that should work for single runs
till my replacements get here, thoughts..?or
for smaller macro
what can i add to the macro, what else has to set other than motor currentsand is it possible some smd surrounding the sd is the cause, maybe the (R73) marked 473, it seems to be connected to the CD pin
-
You can use 'M98 Pconfig.g' to run config.g from another macro.
-
even better …!
thanks

got a new sd card slot from t3p3 fixed it and it runs perfect, i checked out the old slot ….and it was bad contacts inside the sd slot.
anyhow
thanks to David & Roland for the assist
