z axis not working no movement at all

A Former User

Looks okay, so unless the jumpers are missing, the simple solution could be to use the 5th driver for Z;

change

M569 P2 S0 ; Drive 2 goes forwards
M569 P3 S1 ; Drive 3 goes forwards
M584 X0 Y1:3 Z2 ; Apply drive mapping to axes

to

M569 P4 S0 ; Drive 2 goes forwards
M569 P3 S1 ; Drive 3 goes forwards
M584 X0 Y1:3 Z4 ; Apply drive mapping to axes

and connect z motor to E1 motor output (making sure to only connect and disconnect motors with the power off)

Fantastic. Thank you so much, that has worked. I just know i gonna have more question. T
hanks guys and girls

(If its a new board you might want to determined if the Z driver has failed and have it replaced under warranty - and use E1 while you wait)

kesser71

That i did think about but i know the company that supplied me with machine and card has gone under due to covid-19 thats what his email said. so my next question is do i need to change anything so my limit switches will work on z axis?

A Former User

Sorry to hear about that, hopefully the E1 driver will not give you any trouble.

As for the Z endstop, you don't need to move/change anything for that.
(In fact, unless you're running RepRapFirmware 3.x you can't change it)

ok don't have to change anything form limit switches thats cool. Next problem. when i go to home X i get a 5mm movement from z then a 5 mm movement from X, the same with Y axis a 5mm movement from Z then 5 mm movement from Y, and when homing Z just a 5mm movement. Any help please

A Former User

thats controlled by the homeall.g, homex.g, homey.g and homez.g files.

its normal to raise the z before homing x and y to avoid dragging on any stock if present.

but you shoud get more than 5mm on x and y, they should move to the endstop and stop; odds are endstops are inverted?

maybe this helps?

edit:
...you people...

When and where did you purchase the board? If it was from an authorized dealer who is no longer around we would still honor the 6 month warranty.

kesser71

it was bought from a company called Buffalo cnc on 19th august 2020. It is a router that come as a flat pack with a duet2 wifi board.

I'm unable to find Buffalo CNC on the authorized reseller list.

Do you have a link to their website? If it still exists?

Can you post a photo of the board?

@Ryan-Lock recognise this board?

Ryan Lock

Thanks for tagging me @T3P3Tony. I can confirm Buffalo CNC are Not related to Ooznest in any way. The connectors on that Duet have a yellow tint, ours do not look like that.

T3P3Tony

Thanks for the confirmation Ryan.

@kesser71 Can you provide full photos of both sides of the board?

kesser71

Thank you guys for looking into this for me. I was lead to believe this was part of ooznest my apologies to Ryan. Here is a photo of the back of this board and now seeing the small print i fear that this is not an official one. If i need to purchase one i will do, where do i get them from? Are they are avalible? and how much are they.
many thanks
