Extruder motor doesn't move
-
RepRapFirmware 2 last version was 2.05.1 released over a year ago and no longer updated.
RepRapFirmware 3 is currently at version 3.2.2 and is actively being developed.
-
@phaedrux How can I upgrade my board to RRF3?
-
If you still have access to DWC. Upload these 3 zip files, one at a time in the system tab. Don't extract them. Reboot after each. Use M115 to verify the firmware has been applied.
https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/releases/download/2.05.1/Duet2Firmware-2.05.1.zip
https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/releases/download/3.0/Duet2and3Firmware-3.0.zip
https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/releases/download/3.2.2/Duet2and3Firmware-3.2.2.zip
That will get your firmware and DWC up to date.You can see the change logs here:
https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/wiki/Changelog-RRF-3.xFor your config, might be a good idea to run through the configurator tool and generate a fresh set for RRF3.
https://configtool.reprapfirmware.org/StartBackup your existing config files in the sys folder in case you want to switch back to RRF3. IT’s easy to switch back and forth, just upload the zip file for the version you want and then upload your config files.
These documents will come in handy during the conversion.

I also see from your Config that you are setting T1 as active but you only have T0 defined.
Maybe @droftarts or @Phaedrux can just confirm they are far more expert than I am!
-
@dougal1957 Almost. He is calling T1 at the end, but the tool he has defined is also T1. And the tool being defined doesn't have a heater assigned. I don't think that those things in themselves would cause a problem, but it's been a long time since I've used RRF2.
Updating to RRF3 and using a cleaned up config.g might do wonders either way.
-
@phaedrux I upgraded the firmware, but now I seem to have problem with the endstops. The settings for my endstops type before upgrading were all "active-low", and endstop location all at low-end. But after upgrading, the active-low button disappeared and I selected switch instead, but after updating the new config file, I could not homing any axis due to the G28X failed to enable endstops error.
-
Post your new config.g please.
I suspect that you'll just need to invert the signal by adding a
!to the pin name.M574 X1 S1 P"!xstop"

Your config is still the same as before for RRF2. You'll need to redo it for RRF3.
I suggest trying to generate a fresh one with the config tool using what you have from your current config to inform you. That will give you the correct syntax at least and can tweak from there.

Also use M115 to verify that the firmware is actually update now.

@phaedrux Sorry pasted the wrong one.

@zfeng I used M115 and verified it's updated.

-
@phaedrux Using the config file I posted, it doesn't work.
-
What are the endstops?
What error do you get exactly when trying to home?
What is in your homing files now?
-
@phaedrux After I click Home X or Y or Z, the system would move down a little bit, then stop, not moving in the homing direction at all.
-
@phaedrux G28 X, failed to enable endstops.
This is the type of endstop I'm using. It worked before I upgrading the firmware.

And if you click the switch does it change the LED at the board?
-
@phaedrux Yes clicking switch changes LED light on the board.
-
@zfeng said in Extruder motor doesn't move:
G1 H2 X5 F6000 ; go back a few mm
Can you remove the H2 from that line and test again? Does it still move slightly?
If you send M119 what does it report for the status of the endstops? Does it change when the endstop is depressed?
Can you try removing the
!from the pin name and doing the same tests?
