No tools are showing in DWC - noob

@phaedrux I didn't see a settings tab but these are from elsewhere in DWC:

@phaedrux Ok made the changes to the tool section and now they are showing up in DWC and on the PanelDue. Thank you very much!

However when I touch the heater 1 icon I get : Error Temperature reading fault on heater 1: sensor open circuit

I double checked the wiring and the thermistors are connected to E0 temp and E1 temp.

One thing to note and I'm not certain this is an issue, I have a breakout board on the extruder body for all the wiring so that I can just plug one 25pin plug into it to swap out extruders. I've double checked the wiring to make sure everything is going where it should.

Thanks again for your help on this!

@phaedrux Odd, its now showing two extruders in tool 1 with two heaters and a third heater in tool 2.

Do you have a wiring diagram for this board?

I would suggest testing the wiring direct to remove the breakout board from the equation. It may be sharing a negative ground connection that the duet uses to switch the heater.

@phaedrux To what do I set the active and standby temps? Would you please explain them?

I wired in an extra thermistor directly to the board and did not get the error this time. It reads a normal temp on DWC but on the PanelDue it still reads a crazy number. Also even though I don't have a heated bed in the configuration, it shows one on the Panel Due.

I'll have to draw a diagram for you tonight or tomorrow. I would really like to be able to use this breakout board setup. I have three different extruder assemblies that I will be switching between and it will make the switch so much easier.

Thanks for your help.

You probably need to update your paneldue firmware

Normally they would be set by your slicer.

@phaedrux This is the breakout board that I'm using:

Here is a diagram:

Note: This assembly does not thave E1 and accessories. Connections are there for another two extruder assembly.

Here is the corresponding plug pins:

Pic of the whole assembly:

One thing that just occured to me, does soldering thermistor wires cause problems?

Thanks.

Nvigr8

@phaedrux Do you know what the SH terminal on that breakout board is for?

Also, after doing some reading, it looks like I should have checked the resistance on the wires I used to connect the thermistors... Maybe that is part of the issue. Tonight I'll replace those cables with thermistor cables and crimp them onto the plug pin instead of soldering.

@nvigr8 Change the S1 to S0 in your M574.

@stephen6309 Thank you for the input. Last night I finally got the X and Y endstops and movement working properly.

However, now the Z endstop shows as being on even though the BLtouch has not been triggered. Not sure what I changed to make this happen.

Stephen6309

@nvigr8 Add a ! to the pin that should fix it. For example: M558 P9 C"!^zprobe.in" H5 F120 T6000

Nvigr8

@stephen6309 Which .g file would that be in? Thanks.

Nvigr8

@stephen6309 NM, I found it. Thanks! I'll try it out at lunch.

Stephen6309

@nvigr8 config.g You just need to edit the one in there already.

Nvigr8

@stephen6309 What does that ! do there to make it work?

Stephen6309

@nvigr8 The ! inverts the signal from the pin.

Nvigr8

@stephen6309 Ah, good to know. Thank you.

Nvigr8

@stephen6309 Thanks again for the help. However, when I first made this post and put in the config.g it WAS working. It was the ONLY axis working at the time. In trying to fix other problems - tools, thermistors, etc. I must have changed something to make it not work. That line you referenced earlier apparently didn't change though.

I just wanted to give a little more context. I will still try your suggestion when I go home for lunch.

@stephen6309 Ok, I'm at home and I added that !. Now M119 shows the Z is not stopped.

Next problem is that when I home the Z axis, the probe deploys but when pushed in, it does not register as a stop. Ideas?

I don't think the inversion was correct in this case. It should not need inversion. I think there may be an issue with the white wire for the BLTouch which is the trigger signal wire.
