Duet 3 mini 5+ sensorless homing will not work
-
@Alucardi said in Duet 3 mini can't configure sensorless homing + missing extruder:
@fcwilt here is a new config still same issue it makes no difference what i do.
OK I will give it a go on my Duet 3 Mini and see if I can get it to work.
This will take a bit of time.

Well I got it to function on my work bench BUT it was erratic - failing more often than working.
Certainly not reliable enough to use.
If I find the problem I will let you know.

@fcwilt What settings did you end up with?

@fcwilt What settings did you end up with?
You would ask me that. Let's see...
I basically followed the documentation and used the suggested values.
The following were already in the config file that I was using for testing my new board:
M92 X80
M201 X1000
M203 X10000
M566 X600
M906 X1000 I30These I added for testing:
M569 P0 S1 V?? (I cannot remember V but it set the crossover speed around 180 mm/s)
M574 X2 S3 (the doc example has M574 X Y S3 which is missing the X and Y values)
M913 X70
M915 X S1 F0 H400 R1 (0.9 stepper - I just grabbed a handy one)The "home" command was G91 G1 H1 X999 F10000 G90
Now I have never tried this before and I wasn't going to spend a lot of time trying to tweak it.
I was content to verify that it did work sometimes and perhaps just needed different settings or perhaps a different
stepper.Back to my trusty optical end stop sensors.

@fcwilt I don’t see what I am missing. My stepper works fine with my old board I guess I am sol. Others have made it work. Think I have a defective board or is it that firmware is not working as it should? Cause it seem like all I find are people having issues.
Edit: I did find this. But it is unclear if I should use s3 or s4. S4 says it stops the motors individuality but I don’t want that. S3 refers to be used with only 1 motor so I should not use that either. So what should I use?

I wouldn't exactly say I got it to work. It worked maybe 1 time out of 10 tries.
For a Core XY I THINK you would use S4 so each motor would keep moving until it stalled.OK so it turns out you use S3.
Did I mention that optical end stop sensors work great?

Printers: a small Utilmaker style, a small CoreXY and a E3D MS/TC setup. Various hotends. Using Duet 3 hardware running 3.4.6
-
S4 is intended for Z axis leveling with multiple motors but instead of endstops stall detection.
-
@fcwilt I will not redesign my printer setup to use endstops. The card says it support sensorless homing so that feature should work right? It has worked fine for years using duet 2 card. It took me 2 minutes to get it setup there and now it is a pain in the but.
Regarding s3 it clearly says single motor. A coreXY don’t have a single motor

Unless @dc42 have a suggestion it is time for me to leave rrf and move over to klipper where I know sensorless homing works with 2209 drivers. -
Did you follow @gloomyandy s suggestion to try the inverted sensitivity setting?
-
@oliof yes I replied to him and said it did not work using 64. At -64 it should trigger directly which it does not. It does not even trigger which means something is not working. Either it is a broken firmware or wrong code we can’t figure out.
I believe it to be firmware though since even if downloading 3.2 firmware we are stuck on beta, Wonder why they don’t fix that️ -
I'll try a small setup tonight.unfortunately my mini beta board is on a version that doesn't support sensorless homing yet and won't be updated anymore. But downstream I see your problem with sensorless homing was fixed, so yay! -

if you are on the beta, then stall detection is not implemented
to update see

TBH, I couldn't get mine to stall with a simple movement with S set to -64 either.

-
@Veti why is this not fixed in the stable release?
-
it is. but the problem is your current programmer
-
@jay_s_uk which means something is not working. It should detect directly. I tried it in my old duet 2 when I was setting that up. It detected a stall as soon as it tried to move the axis.
-
@Veti my current programmer?

my current programmer?
have you read the linked thread?
-
@Veti yes and I am no coder so I do not know what a iap file is
️ Thread is a month old. -
just replace the iap file linked in the thread and update the firmware again.
