duet 2 driver ports 10 and 11 con lcd
-
What microstepping options are available for ports 10 and 11 on the con lcd ? I use planetary steppers on my z so they don't back drive on power off. I've had it set to 8x for a long time(2 years) and I've never seen this error before saying "Error: Driver 10 does not support x8 microstepping" same for driver 11. I use port 10 and 11 cause i can run a 10 pin idc cable to a little breakout board i soldered to my external drivers. keeps things tidy. Ive ran through all the options and 16x is he only one that works without error. im using the latest beta 3.4.0rc1 duet 2 ethernet. funny thing is it still works.....
When did this change?
is this a bug or feature?

Do the external drivers have their own setting for microsteps? The M350 command can only set the microstepping for drivers it can communicate with over SPI, like the internal drivers. If your external drivers can only take step. direction, and enable signals, the setting is irrelevant. Or perhaps you are using an external trinamic that takes SPI signal as well?
