External 12NM Large Stepper driver and motors used with Stepper Breakout Board v1.1
if you are investing that much into the printer, why not get a duet 3 and drive those motors directly?

@sozkan said in Giant Delta printer Slow Homing issue.:
Yes, it is 10 mm pitch
10mm wide belts maybe?
-
@dc42 it is actually 10 mm. Because it is 3 meter high that's looks small.
-
@Veti Actually We have purchased the electronic hardware last year. We had some problem to fin suitable place with in the university. Finally started. But we may upgrade. if really makes difference.
-
@Phaedrux width of the belt 25 mm.
-
Well if you're certain that tooth to tooth distance is 10mm then I guess that's that.

I have confirmed twice also in the video once, step/mm calculation is right according to the 10 mm pitch.
The Actual problem is on the last axis homing.
I will try to setup like a cartesian machine and try homing again. -
Please can you show in a video how you measured the tooth pitch to be 10mm.

as you can see we are all very interested, as we have not seen a belt like that
the white belts tend to have steel cores. they tend to break especially with 180 degree turns.
can you please post a link to the belts used. -

Hi, here is the link of the video of breef info about components and measurement proof of belt teeth .

can you please post a link to the belts used.First of all thanks for the concern. There is steel fiber, the Smaller the pulley, the lesser the life span. But 14 teeth hopefully not a big problem.

Thanks for confirming the belt pitch; I am sorry that I doubted you.

I have changed as you suggested it did not work!
working one as previous :; Drives M569 P0 S1 R1 T3:3:5:0 ; physical drive 0 goes Forward M569 P1 S1 R1 T3:3:5:0 ; physical drive 1 goes Forward M569 P2 S1 R1 T3:3:5:0 ; physical drive 2 goes Forward M569 P3 S1 R1 T3:3:5:0 ; physical drive 3 goes Forward M584 X6 Y7 Z8 E5 ; set drive mappingThose M569 commands are definitely wrong. Your external drivers are P5 P6 P7 P8 as @jay_s_uk said. This is probably why the motors move the correct amount when all 3 are moving, but not when just one is moving. That in turn explains the slow down when one carriage reaches the endstop, and the failure to complete homing (because the other carriages are not travelling as far as they should).

P5 P6 P7 P8
Hi, Thank you for concerning and valuable input.
I have changed again M569 values as you mentioned. Motor did not moved. But they became motors off stage. I mean motor enable signal reversed, So motors free while homing but none of them moving.
here is the current code : Do I need to change any other code relative to the Drive P values?; Drives M569 P5 S1 R1 T3:3:5:0 ; Extruder drive 0 goes Forward M569 P6 S1 R1 T3:3:5:0 ; X:A drive 1 goes Forward M569 P7 S1 R1 T3:3:5:0 ; Y:B drive 2 goes Forward M569 P8 S1 R1 T3:3:5:0 ; Z:C physical drive 3 goes Forward M584 X6 Y7 Z8 E5 ; set drive mappingDid I miss anything ? I am going to reverse Drivers Enable signal input right now for try. I wonder if that one is the problem.
Thanks. -
That's a good sign as it means your drivers are actually being set by the firmware now.
You can change whether the motors are active high or active low using the R value. So it seems you need them all on active low. Change R1 to R0 on each driver -

Change R1 to R0 on each driverWith previously updated values, I have reversed enable cables on driver that makes the motors move with a horrible sound like noisy signals and slow all axis. I will test now with R0 and also revert the enable cable inputs for a try.

@sozkan what external boards are you using? do you have a link?

It seems right this time but with this "P5, P6, P7, P8" values all motors running with noisy signals and slower with vibration. Homing not successful at first. Distancing not correct.

looking at the datasheet I think your timing are not correct for the driver.
there needs to be at least a 6us setup time for direction
I would maybe try a timing of T3:3:6:0
