Is my Duex5 board dead?
-
Is there a way to test if my duex5 is receiving power? I got my Duex5 hooked up to my Duet 2 wifi ran home all axes, x and y homed fine but when it gets to the z axis I didn't notice the 3 z motors turning on. I have 3 motors for Z and they are on drivers 7 8 9 on the duex5 just to test if the board is working. Before I had one motor attached to the Z motor on the Duet 2 wifi and that one motor activated and can feel resistance if I try to turn the lead screw, but the 2 motors on the the duex5 nothing.
Are there any LEDs that turns on when the board is on? Or did I not set up my code correctly.
Here is the gcode motor setup

You could check the 24V input and the blade fuse on the Duex5. -

You could check the 24V input and the blade fuse on the Duex5.The fuse is fine.
So digging around I attached a fan to the internal 12 pins and the fan is spinning. So I think I am getting power.
I entered M115 and only my Duet 2 wifi is listed. But only one time so far did M115 showed duet 2 wifi + duex 5. Could it be my ribbon cable is bad?
Edit: so I took the ribbon cable and flipped it. M115 is showing both boards. Not sure how long that will last.

So I took the off the ribbon cable and tested each pin on the cable with a multimeter and every pin has continuity, so it can't be the cable. I think the boards are not communicating with each other.
I have been doing M115 a lot and most of the time it only shows the duet 2 and randomly other times I get duet 2 wifi+duex 5 listed on the web interface. When that happens all my z axis drives are working.
So now its figuring what is at fault that the boards are not communicating with each other.

IIRC this can be the case if the power wiring from duet to duex is too long or if the GND wire has too low a diameter. Posting a photo of the wiring could shed some light.

Is this a new Duex5? When and where did you purchase it?

Here is the image, the thinner wires are before and after are the thick wires. Even with the thicker wires duet 2 still don't detect duex5. I am getting voltage into the duex.

Yes its new. I bought it back in April of 2021 from Filastruder. It's only now that I had time to finish building this printer and using the duex5.
