unusual/unnerving noises + error codes

[PR1OR]

@PR1OR sorry just noticed the bottom picture is the first screen shot the top is the second (facepalm)

[PR1OR]

if this is the homing files. Let me know if not

[jay_s_uk]

can you also post the output of M115 please

[PR1OR]

@jay_s_uk

Your config you posted is for firmware version 1.21 and your installed version is 3.11.
First thing I would suggest you do is re do your config using the online configurator https://configtool.reprapfirmware.org/Start, ensuring that the firmware version selected is version 3.0 or later

[PR1OR]

@jay_s_uk ok perfecti will try this. I didnt actually create this file i got it off someone. If i just copy what is there except the firmware version do you think this will work or do i need to work out all the parameters?

please see https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/RepRapFirmware_3_overview#Section_Summary_of_what_you_need_to_do_to_convert_your_configuration_and_other_files

you should probably browse https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/blob/v3-dev/WHATS_NEW_RRF3.md and https://github.com/dc42/RepRapFirmware/blob/dev/WHATS_NEW.md for all the changes made since that version.

-or- use the config tool linked to to generate a new starting point instead of converting the old.

you can find a lot of the things to put into the config tool from the old config; refer to https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Gcode if you don't understand all the different configuration gcode.

@jay_s_uk - i amended the .json file and updated the version to 3+

Ive dont it and am now getting a different error code.

I also have a couple of Qs about how the settings for the tool that you may be able to help me with

on this page i dont know what endstop pin to select and this was the one on the configuration already is that right (im using a BL touch)?

the ender 3 has 3 fans (two on the extruder and one for the board but im reading this as its set to only have two is that correct?

also the Z prob pins are alittle confusing too does this look right?

on this page i wasnt able to select the z probe which doesnt seem correct

i also wasnt able to select the BL touch either which wasnt any help

If you can help with this lot i would really appreciate it.

[PR1OR]

@bearer sorry just seen this.

I will have a read tonight and see what i can do.

Thank you!!

The configurator has a built in Ender 3 profile, you can select the duet wifi and RRF3 and it should give you a largely accurate config, provided of course that you have wired things in the expected way. I would suggest trying to get the wiring to match the expected way first.

Also, when sharing samples of gcode, it's probably best to copy and paste the text into your post rather than post a photo. It's much easier for those on mobile devices and we can quote sections more easily. You can use the little code tag button </> to put it in a code block to make it even more readable.

code_text

Download this json file and then use the web configurator to load it by clicking on "Ues existing configuration" here: https://configtool.reprapfirmware.org/Start

config.json

That should give you a stock ender 3, duet wifi, rrf3, bltouch config example.

From there you can either edit the motor/endstop assignments to match what you have wired, or you can move the wires to the default ports on the board and have it match the example.

[PR1OR]

@Phaedrux Thanks! and apologises for the screenshot i will know for the future (rofl)

so that config.json doesnt download unfortunately, however i have seen that the pre configured ender 3 pro so i will probably use that. I have just the ender 3 but i believe they use the same original board and believe that the are the same except the frame is more sterdy and the PCU is better. but will check the measurements because the print sizes maybe slightly different also. from what ive read on the above links it should just be slight amendments to the gcodes which doesnt seem tooo difficult :s but makinig sure i know what im doing

@Phaedrux said in unusual/unnerving noises + error codes:

config.json

You might have to right click and save as and rename it config.json. I just tested it and it works.

the only thing I changed was the board type, the firmware version, and the bltouch, plus a few other minor things.

[PR1OR]

@Phaedrux So i have not uploaded this why is great. however when just trying to home the x axis. it keeps eratically shaking and throwing out these error codes. I have looked for the G1 code but it only seems to be on the tool section of the config.g so im now confused again.

Can you help?

Warning: Obsolete use of S parameter on G1 command. Use H parameter instead.

G28 X Warning: Obsolete use of S parameter on G1 command. Use H parameter instead.

[jay_s_uk]

@PR1OR check your homing files and everywhere the G1 command uses an S command e.g.

G1 S1 X-500

change it to H

G1 H1 X-500

Check your homeall.g, homex.g, homey.g and homez.g

[PR1OR]

@jay_s_uk said in unusual/unnerving noises + error codes:

here the G1

this has removed this message. thanks!

now it just shakes still for a while then gives me this

G28 X
Error: Homing failed

[PR1OR]

if i try and home all i get the same weird shaking on the X and Y axis the Z doesnt move and i eventually get this error message

G28
Error: G0/G1: insufficient axes homed

[jay_s_uk]

i would suggest looking at your wiring for the x axis motor then.
My guess is you have some of the cables mixed up.
I would suggest reading this https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Choosing_and_connecting_stepper_motors#Section_Connecting_stepper_motors

[PR1OR]

@jay_s_uk So after following the link i can confirm that all motors are connected correctly now and sound alot better. Now to the end stops + Probe.

Obviously at the moment i still cant home the axis (X and Y) because the end stops seem to not be working. Ive done some reading and found that M574 give a status, which is below. However when putting the gcode in it send a message saying 'Response too long see console'

m574

Endstop configuration:
X: low end motor stall (any motor)
Y: low end motor stall (any motor)
Z: low end Z probe

any ideas?

[jay_s_uk]

can you post your latest config.g?
That response seems to indicate that you're trying to use stall detection rather than an actual endstop

[Phaedrux]

@PR1OR said in unusual/unnerving noises + error codes:

'Response too long see console'

And if you go to the console do you see the result?

How do you have the endstops wired? The two wires from the endstops should be connected to the outer two pins of the board connector. Doesn't really matter which wire goes where.
