Request Cartesian with cyclops system: 2 extruders and 1 hotend

[Phaedrux]

Can you try copy and pasting the config sample I posted and trying that?

[FelixH]

Just did, no change.

At this point I am wondering if it is at all possible a hardware error, like a bad crimped cable or something like that.

[Phaedrux]

Is it still giving error messages like shown on the paneldue?

[FelixH]

Yeah, but I have a new lead. Hold on

[FelixH]

So, when I turn on the printer a whole lot of error codes flashed on the PanelDue screen. It was so fast, I had to recorded with my phone with the Slow-Mo option. The errors are as follows:

Error in the macro file line 32 column 32: M350 array too long, max length = 1
Error in the macro file line 33 column 34: M92 array too long, max length = 1
Error in the macro file line 34 column 34: M566 array too long, max length = 1
Error in the macro file line 35 column 41: M203 array too long, max length = 1
Error in the macro file line 36 column 35: M201 array too long, max length = 1
Error in the macro file line 37 column 35: M906 array too long, max length = 1

So I checked the documentation and I changed this snipped:

for this one:

M906 E800:800 I30  	                              ; Set motor currents (mA) and motor idle factor in per cent

Unfortunatelly, however. Nothing changed.

[FelixH]

I have no M584 command. I think that's it. Going to see the documentation.

UPDATE: so, that was it. I had no M584 mapping command. I read it completely by chance while reviewing the M305 command... Anyway now it works as I expected on both the web interface and the PanelDue display.

Thanks for sticking with me @Phaedrux

@Phaedrux
Just out of curiosity, now that the drive mapping is added, would it still be necessary to have separate jerk-, acceleration-, etc- setting for the second extruder?
Is it even possible to have different settings?

[OT]
Like different steps/mm for a geared direct drive mixed with a remote Bowden extruder?

[FelixH]

I will try to see if it still works if it has only half of the settings. I have no idea...

Why wouldn‘t be possible to have different settings? What would be the point to have the possibility to set two settings if it wasn‘t?

[o_lampe]

@FelixH
Right, it's just a bad gutt feeling.
I remember, some settings had to be identical or be ignored if you set them different.

[FelixH]

I've just checked. You can set separate settings. Actually I've just done it for the M92 command

Imagine a Z-axis driven by three different steppers...not a common thing, but I believe it's related to the drive mapping.
When you define eg. M584 Z3:4:5, there are limits, of what you can specify later.
Same for mixing hotends IIRC.

Yes. Extruders are considered as independent axis and should have all settings defined for each extruder and those settings can be different.

For other axis like XYZ you only need a single value for that axis. You must use identical motors for axis with multiple motors and you cannot have different settings for each motor.
