Crying stepper motors

jason0607 · 12 Aug 2022, 07:27

Hello!
I have connected stepper motors, but they "cry" when I start them up on the Duet3Mini5+. Is there a solution for this?

dc42 · 8 Dec 2022, 10:34

@jason0607 usually this means that you have set a combination of acceleration too high, steps/mm too high, max movement speed too high, or motor current too low. If you post your config.g file and tell us what motors you are using, we can help further.

@jason0607 I would say your motor current is to low. 200mA, for a 1A motor. Try increasing those to say 800mA.

Rushmere3D · 16 Aug 2022, 06:45

@jason0607 you also have multiples of some commands acceleration, feedrate etc. Some are commented out but not all.

This for example is at the bottom of your config,

M201 X69000.00 Y69000.00 Z20.00 E250.00:250 ; set accelerations (mm/s^2)

While you have another at the top,

M201 X200.00 Y200.00 Z20.00 E250.00 ; set accelerations (mm/s^2)

The one at the bottom is way to high and getting used as it's called last.

Rushmere3D · 16 Aug 2022, 06:53

@jason0607 Yeah better, you will need to maybe adjust some of your settings but that should work.

You have commented out you Tool settings.

jason0607 · 16 Aug 2022, 06:56

@Rushmere3D
Now the motor is just as loud but moves slower

Rushmere3D · 16 Aug 2022, 07:03

@jason0607 Are the phases of the stepper motors connected correctly?

Is this a new build? ~~Your config has multiple M584 commands make sure you have the correct one in use.~~

jason0607 · 16 Aug 2022, 07:06

@jason0607 Yes they are connected correctly

Rushmere3D · 16 Aug 2022, 07:13

@jason0607 I would say these settings need, tweaking.

 M566 X900.00 Y900.00 Z60.00 E120.00 ; set maximum instantaneous speed changes (mm/min)
M203 X1000.00 Y1000.00 Z180.00 E1200.00 ; set maximum speeds (mm/min)
M201 X200.00 Y200.00 Z20.00 E250.00 ; set accelerations (mm/s^2)

Something like this maybe? BUT you need to adjust based on your machine, these are based on one of my printers.

 M566 X300.00 Y300.00 Z60.00 E420.00           	; set maximum instantaneous speed changes (mm/min)
M203 X18000.00 Y18000.00 Z360.00 E1500.00   	; set maximum speeds (mm/min)
M201 X3000.00 Y3000.00 Z300.00 E10000.00     	; set accelerations (mm/s^2)

Rushmere3D · 16 Aug 2022, 07:17

Would also be a good idea to share the results of m122 and M98 P"config.g" please?
