Voron 2.4 3MB6 §EB config issues.

Titus A Duxass

Greetings from Blaustein,
First post here - first bunch of issues.

I'm building (or have built) a Voron 2.4 with a 3 MB 6HC and a 3EB.
Just for clarification, the 6 has two dud drivers (0 & 2) so I have the the Z drives on 1, 3, 4, 5 and A/B (X, Y) on the 3 along with the extruder.

Yesterday I got the drives working how they should, this morning I have issues with Z.

At first switch on there was no comm between the 6 and the 3 - the was no red led on the 3 - and then after about 20 mins it lit up and there was sync.

So my first task was to confirm that the end stops are working - they are.
Next was to home all 3 axis, X and Y perfect!
Z nothing, so I went back to the console, repositioned the gantry to approx. 150 and moved them via the dash board. They all move as should but only about 100mm and then further clicking brings no results (is this normal?).

I carried out a firmware update on both the 6 and 3 as part of the initial install.

Below is the config.g.
Can anyone see what my problem is?
Thanks in advance.

@Titus-A-Duxass can you post an M122 B1 output? my guess would be you need to update the bootloader on the 3HC
Also confirm the firmware on the 6HC using M115 (and post the output)

Thanks

jay_s_uk

@Titus-A-Duxass so your 3HC is running 3.3 and your 6HC is running 3.4.5 so you're out of sync there.
you also need to update the bootloader on the 3HC. it can be found here https://github.com/Duet3D/Duet3Bootloader/releases/download/2.4/Duet3Bootloader-SAME5x.bin
and instructions https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/RepRapFirmware/Updating_bootloader

Titus A Duxass

@jay_s_uk I thought I read somewhere that after v3.3 it does not matter is they are out of sync. I will, nevertheless, update both the 3HC firmware and bootloader.

Thanks, I'll be back.

jay_s_uk

@Titus-A-Duxass they definitely need to be in sync as the protocol will change between updates

Titus A Duxass

@jay_s_uk Okay updates carried out but 3EB firmware is still at 3.3.

@Titus-A-Duxass how are you trying to update the 3HC firmware?

Titus A Duxass

@jay_s_uk as per - https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Installing_and_Updating_Firmware

jay_s_uk

@Titus-A-Duxass so you're uploading the 3HC firmware file to the system tab?

Titus A Duxass

@jay_s_uk I follow the instructions on that page.
Download the file (Duet2and3firmware-345.zip)
and then upload via the DWC
Upload System Files button.

jay_s_uk

@Titus-A-Duxass i don't know why its not updating that way then.
you could try turning the machine off, and turning all the dip switches off on the 3HC. This causes the board to request and update the firmware on startup https://docs.duet3d.com/Duet3D_hardware/Duet_3_family/Duet_3_Expansion_3HC#address
can you also check what version of DWC you're running? it shows under general settings

Titus A Duxass

@Titus-A-Duxass fantastic. now go back to using your printer as you were before and see if you still have issues. there are a few of us (me included) that run v2.4's with RRF

dc42

@Titus-A-Duxass so is it working now or are there still problems?

How did two drivers on the 6HC come to be faulty?

@dc42 No it still has issues.
X and Y home as should.
Z motors along to 0X0Y and then hangs until it times out, you can here some motors running.

I bought the board knowing that the two drivers are kaputt, I suspect that there are more failures on the board.

So I either have to find another board or strip it out and fit a BTT Manta M8P that I have. This is not something that I want to do as a it means replacing all the connectors.

@Titus-A-Duxass can you try downgrading the mainboard to 3.4.4?

@jay_s_uk Wait - my mistake! The Z is homing, it's just going extremely slow! Should be done about Tuesday.

@Titus-A-Duxass said in Voron 2.4 3MB6 §EB config issues.:

M574 Z1 S2 ; configure Z-probe endstop for low end on Z

You should remove that line. Endstop mode S2 is used only when the Z probe is used to home axes other than Z.

Please post your homeall.g and homez.g files.

This happened with the Z at about +100mm
