motor phase A may be disconnected help a newby out

Fisher

Forgot to say im using a duet2wifi firmware ver 3.1.1

have you wired the cables yourself or are you using the cables that came with the motor?

Fisher

cables came with the motors, the small ammount of movement i am getting is in the correct direction when homing.

Check your motor phases are paired correctly and that the crimps are good.

Driver 2 is the one marked Z. There are two output connectors for that driver, connected in series. If you have only one Z motor, do you have 2 jumpers in the second Z motor connector? If it's a genuine Duet, it should have been supplied with those jumpers already fitted.

solved: incorectly wired endstops... i knew it would be somthing silly, thanks all the same.

@dc42
Im running the current version 3.2-RC2 (2020-12-24) at a Duet 3 6HC

When homing the Y-Axis I get a warning:
Warning: motor phase A may be disconnected reported by driver(s) 2
Warning: motor phase B may be disconnected reported by driver(s) 2

What does the number 2 means? Thought it indicates the corresponding drivers in that case number 1.
I only connected Y at the Driver_1 connector and the corresponding endstop.

; Drives
M569 P0.0 S0 ; physical drive 0.0 goes backwards
M569 P0.1 S0 ; physical drive 0.1 goes backwards
M569 P0.2 S1 ; physical drive 0.2 goes forwards
M569 P0.3 S0 ; physical drive 0.3 goes backwards
M584 X0.0 Y0.1 Z0.2 E0.3 ; set drive mapping

What wonders me even more is if I try to Home X - of course no motor/endstop is connected to X I get the same warning.

@Nellor said in motor phase A may be disconnected help a newby out:

What does the number 2 means?

probably best to start a new thread rather than continuing someone elses solved thread.

drivers are usually
0=x
1=y
2=z
3=e0
4=e1

edit: d'oh .. the duet3, unlike they duet 2, the numbers match the pcb silk screen so just refer to the board and see what you've connected to driver2.

@bearer
I posted that here as maybe something is wrong with the number indication at the warning where DC42 assumed the thread opener is talking about Z - I assume he never talked about z axis...

With your explanation it makes even more no sense with the warning.

I will delete or shift the post if it is a big problem.

A Former User

its not a problem as such; its just not easy for others to relate to a solved topic with a new question, and notifications go to everyone else, but not necessarily you etc.

Nellor

Ok, got it... will delete or move it.

I found out whats the reason of getting it when I Home Y.

If nothing else is wired besides the Y-Axis you will get all the time this warning. So i assumed it must be Y related even showing Z.
If you don't know that a Y movement results also in a short Z move/lift you end up with not understanding whats going on...
In my case even a Duet Maestro connected before at this build stage without warning.

-> Hooked up also a Z Motor and the warning is gone.

@Nellor Your homing file probably has a Z lift.
