New Duet 2 extruder not working

Veti

is it a mistake from copy and pasting, or does your homey contain both homey and homeall?

also your homing files are incorrect for corexy, they contain H2 for X and Y movement.

G1 H2 X5 Y5 F6000 ; go back a few mm

a correct homeall for example looks like this

; homeall.g
; called to home all axes

G1 H1 Y-215             ; home Y axis
G1 X5 Y5 F6000          ; go back a few mm
G1 H1 X-235 F360        ; move slowly to X axis endstop once more (second pass)
G1 H1 Y-215             ; then move slowly to Y axis endstop
G90                     ; absolute positioning
G1 X15 Y15 F6000        ; go to first bed probe point and home Z

; Uncomment the following lines to lift Z after probing

i would suggest that you recreate your homing files in the configurator.

It looks a little odd on the paneldue screen when you go to press the homing buttons. It looks like the homeall button gets touched instead of the homex.

On the paneldue can you get to the setup page and redo the touch calibration?

Fundamentally the Paneldue buttons can't do anything different than what the web control buttons do. They both use the same macros. But if the Paneldue touch calibration is out of whack you could be pressing the homeall button without realizing it, hence the unexpected results.

Another thing to try would be to go to the console page on the Paneldue and test if the keyboard works. Are you able to touch the keys or are they out of whack too?

Your video didn't show what happens when you press homeall on the web interface.

Also, as Veti says, you should remove the H2 from your homing files on the lines that move X and Y. The H2 can stay on the lines that raise and lower the Z axis.

@Phaedrux You are on to something here, when I press homeall on web control, it behaves exactly as pressing homex on paneldue, ie, it move diagonally to the x end stop and shows x homed and thats it. I have no response at all from setup or console buttons on the paneldue so cant get at the page to even test keyboard or touch calibration. Should I replace H2 in xy homing config g with H1 or just remove it.

Phaedrux

Ok now we're getting some where. We will need to fix your homeall macro to work correctly and we will need to redo the touch calibration on the panel to make it useable.

In homeall you should remove the H2 on the G1 X and Y lines. Veti provided a good example of how it should look.

For the paneldue we may need to reflash the firmware but lemme check on that.

Phaedrux

Since we don't know what firmware version you have on your PanelDue at the moment and cant check because we can't get to the setup screen I think the best way forward is to simply erase the firmware and reflash it. After the firmware is reapplied the first thing it does is prompt you to calibrate the touch accuracy by poking a few black spots on the edges.

Do you happen to know what version of PanelDue you bought? I can tell from the video that it's not a 5i or 7i since the PCB is separate.

@Phaedrux on the back of the paneldue pc board it says V 3.0 and from memory I think its a 4.3" screen

Phaedrux

Alright then you'd want this firmware file.

https://github.com/Duet3D/PanelDueFirmware/releases/download/1.24/PanelDue-v3-4.3.bin

Then follow the flashing instructions from here: https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/PanelDue_Firmware_update

@Phaedrux I removed the H2 command on home config as Veti suggested, then I reflashed the firmware as you suggested (twice) everything went well using Bossa, but no difference at all in homing behaviour, also paneldue set button does nothing as does console button. One thing I noticed when erasing paneldue, the paneldue screen did not change at all. I would have thought it would have gone blank or something

Phaedrux

Yes it should have gone blank I think.
You say it went well in Bossa. What did it do?
It verified the firmware OK?
Afterwards did the touch calibration points come up?
If the touch panel isn't responding correctly it may be a problem with the paneldue.
Does the home all from the DWC work better now?
Can you post your changes?

GG

@Phaedrux Bossa verified the firmware just fine,it did exactly what the tutorial says it should do for firmware reload. , when I pressed the reset button on the paneldue I get a dingdong from computer but nothing changes on paneldue screen. No calibration points just the same home page, in fact its the only page Ive ever seen on the paneldue . Do you think this is a clone paneldue as well??. The homeall on DWC behaves exactly the same as before, ie it moves diagonally to x end stop and stays there. I havent written new homeall config yet as suggested by Veti, ive only removed the H2 from x and y lines

GG

@Phaedrux I have made new config homeall as per Veti,s guide and the DWC now homes all fine, however the paneldue does not, whichever home button I press on P/d it activates the homeall button, which is something you spotted in the video, then it homesall and then tells me error Bad command G90 and as I stated I cant bring up any other page on P/d to try and see whats going on. Also I went thru process of reinstalling firmware on P/d with same result

If it was purchased along side the aliexpress duet, then yes.

It definitely sounds like something is wrong with the touch calibration or digitizer on the screen. Replacing the screen component itself might be enough, but I'm not sure there isn't something wrong with the electronics portion either.

You could try going back to the aliexpress reprapworld store for an exchange/refund.

Well that's something at least. Even without the paneldue you can hopefully successfully print.

GG

@Phaedrux where would be the best place to buy a new paneldue, cause I really want to use the sd card inP/d to print, saves having a computer in workshop

Phaedrux

Depends on your location. If you're in the UK, probably direct from Duet.

Or from an authorized reseller in your country.

@Phaedrux Thank you guys for all your help, awesome stuff, Ive learnt lots, Im currently in negotiations with ali baba, over panelduue, Im in Newzealand so we dont have Duet store here., im sure Ill be back in touch sometime. Thankyou

Phaedrux

Good luck with Ali.
