Hello again,

Thank you for sending the Duet, thankfully it is working a lot better than the initial one, and is finally providing a wifi signal remotely.

That being said... I am now having trouble with my config.g file it seems. I am connected to the IP address all good but the board is having trouble homing the steppers. I am using my old config.g file since the new one wasnt even sending a consistent Access point out. I will send a screenshot of my current config. As always, Any advice is appreciated!

@mfertik We'll need to see the whole of your config.g. It's easier to copy the text from the config.g file, and paste it in your reply on the forum, rather than post images of it.

And we'll need to know a bit more about your machine. Is it a delta printer? I can see M665 and M666 commands. Usually, the endstops on a delta need to home at the maximum end of each axis, not the minimum, so your endstop assignment (which I can't see in the screenshot above) should look something like:

; Endstops
M574 X2 S1 P"xstop"             ; active-high endstop for high end on X via pin xstop
M574 Y2 S1 P"ystop"             ; active-high endstop for high end on Y via pin ystop
M574 Z2 S1 P"zstop"             ; active-high endstop for high end on Z via pin zstop

Note the X2, Y2 and Z2, which make the axis home at the 'high' end. You may also need to edit your homedelta.g file. Post that in your reply too.

@droftarts Hi Ian,
thanks for the quick reply. Yes, it is a delta printer that i made using the Jonathan keep open source model. I will paste my config below:

@mfertik said in Warning: Cannot Initialize SD Card 0: Card is Unusable:

the board is having trouble homing the steppers.

What exactly happens?

Can you also post your homedelta.g and send M122 and M98 P"config.g" and copy paste the results here?

mfertik

@phaedrux the first time i tried it, the X and Y axes began to home and then stopped. The next few times i tried to home them, i just got a loading wheel on the Movement Dashboard.

Here is my homedelta.g:

G1 H1 X10 Y10 Z10 F360 ; move all towers up once more (second pass)
G1 Z-5 F6000 ; move down a few mm so that the nozzle can be centred
G90 ; absolute positioning
G1 X0 Y0 F6000 ; move X+Y to the centre

@phaedrux P.S. where should I send M122 and M98 P"config.g" ? In the config.g or in the homedelta.g?

where should I send M122 and M98 P"config.g"

In the gcode console tab in DWC.

Also, please check your version of DWC in the general tab of DWC.

@phaedrux The issue has been resolved! thanks for all your help

@mfertik What changed?
