@jay_s_uk thanks

@jay_s_uk Please remind me how to save a config. g file, I had a specific piece of software but can't find it now!
And yes, I was awoken 0400 this morning by the wind and rain...

@FuseDeep are you not editing it though DWC?
otherwise notepad or something like that -
@jay_s_uk Thanks, I have notepad but can't find the G option in the drop down, is there a nack to it?
-
@FuseDeep you can right click and open with.
i use notepad++ and this UDL https://github.com/ComedianTF2/RepRapFirmware-UDL-For-Notepad -
@jay_s_uk yes, no problem opening it. but when wanting to save as a congig.g file I can't see the G extension option in the save as....can't remeber what I did last time?
-
@FuseDeep just save? no need to save as

Hmmm
Have saved and checked the new config file and still have a weak as a kitten Z axis.
Please note, the set up worked perfectly for many months then suddenly became weak.
I replaced the entire Z stepper direct from makergear (the old z steppers were known to fail after a decade) and have checked continuity on all 4 stepper cables, all good.
This is now a new z stepper and re assigned as above, but with exact same weakness issue!!!!!!
What is the max current I can set for the duet wifi board for a stepper drive channel, maybe the z set up is stiffer and needs more power (only thing that makes sense)?
Cheers Richard

I canged the z/E1 output MA from 800 to 1600 and it is much happier (0nly cost me 100gbp to not fix this!).
Seems it needed more current. will relube and see how she runs!
