Thanks, regarding PID autotune: when the extruder is extruding pellets at full flow rate through a 3mm nozzle the heating characteristics are very different then when just sat idle. Is there a way to autotune while the extruder is extruding please?
Regarding endstops: is this okay? The z switch is so that if the bed comes so close to the nozzle and starts to push against it the switch is closed and the z motion should stop
; Endstops M574 X1 S1 P"io1.in" ; configure active-high endstop for low end on X via pin io1.in M574 Y1 S1 P"io2.in" ; configure active-high endstop for low end on Y via pin io2.in M574 Z1 S1 P"io0.in"For the z probe I have.

Is it possible to wire the 3D touch to the 3HC as the wires can't reach the 6HC where it is?

You may need to re run the tuning after fixing the issues below.
M950 F0 C"out8" Q500 ; create fan 0 on pin out8 and set its frequency M106 P0 S0 H T45this is wrong. I assume the fans on out8 are to cool the pellet extruder itself (not the print) in the same manner as a hotend cooling fan that cools the cold side of a heatbreak on a filament hotend? In that case this should be:
M950 F0 C"out8" Q500 ; create fan 0 on pin out8 and set its frequency M106 P0 H1 T45This tells the Duet that when heater sensor 1 gets over 45C, turn on fan0. It wont be on until the hotend sensor goes over 45C
The print cooling fan is ok, assuming you have it plugged into out 9

Okay the "heat-break" fans are working well now. The print cooling fan is not working even if I turn the 'TOOL FAN' slider up to 100 and switch polarity of the wires. Maybe it needs to actually be printing for that to come on?
okay next I am gonna keep rewiring this BL touch
-
Oh Quick question: Is it possible to do a PID tuning while extruding because this extruder pushes out so much material it will need a different heating tuning I recon to make it work best. Also which line is the steps per mm of extruded material please? The Extruder has a 20:1 gear NEMA17 that needs to spin jolly fast to get that screw moving around.

@t3p3tony PS: is there no way to wire the 3D touch to the 3HC? Cables just don’t reach the 6HC

@charles-fraser said in Large Format Dowell to Duet conversion:
and switch polarity of the wires
https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Connecting_and_configuring_fans#Section_Caution
Caution
Fans are polarised. When connecting a fan to a fan connector, the positive wire (usually red) must be connected to the VFAN pin of that connector. The negative wire (normally black) must be connected to the FAN- pin if it is a controlled fan connector, or the GND pin if it is an always-on fan connector.
If you connect the fan the wrong way round, you may damage the fan, the Duet, or both.

I’m sorry it’s a bit of a fudge but I have only been able to get the 3D touch wired up (I hope correctly) with the 3HC, IO_2
Here is what the wiring from the touch is supposed to be:
But the 3D touch I have does not have a white wire, it has a blue wire though so I am guessing that’s the only difference.
I have to connect the BL touch to two different cables, each with four wires in them to reach the board at the other end of the printer. In one of the cables, two of the wires are already used by the NTC thermistor so it looks like this:
Then I can only reach IO_2 on the 3H with all that following this diagram:
Which looks like this:
I hope that’s correct! I’ll try to change the code and hope it works!

WOAH! All I did was change the IO_1 to IO_2 in the config file and now so many errors and the heaters missing and things:

no it does not need to be printing. try connecting the fan directly to +24V and ground to test it works (assuming its a 24V fan).

PS: is there no way to wire the 3D touch to the 3HC? Cables just don’t reach the 6HC
you should connect it to the same board as the Z motors are on for now:
https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Duet_3_firmware_configuration_limitationsDue to CAN latency the motors connected to expansion boards may slightly overshoot the position at which the endstop or Z probe was triggered. This would not usually matter for an endstop switch, but it does mean that if the Z motor(s) is/are connected to an expansion board then repeated probing with a Z probe (e.g. for mesh bed compensation) is not advisable. This will be fixed in a future release
@charles-fraser said in Large Format Dowell to Duet conversion:
I removed the 3D touch. Still Only the lily hotend shows now. No bed, no temps
when you lose communication with the 3HC then you will lose communication with everything on that board.
Try undoing the changes you made to config.g and then reset everything (without the 3d touch installed). Unless that damaged the board it should all come back up.
-
I undid the changes and unplugged the 3D touch and it still does not work. How can even wiring up one io wrong fry the whole board?
I noticed, before all this crashed, the print cooling fan was spinning but hardly getting going then stopping again.

Nothing is happening when I do any commands anymore. It just spins around and around. All things added are disconnected now. The 3HC doesnt blink anymore
