Voron 2.4 3MB6 §EB config issues.

@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

@jay_s_uk Thanks, that forced it -

@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?

Titus A Duxass

@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.

jay_s_uk

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

Titus A Duxass

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

dc42

@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.

Titus A Duxass

@jay_s_uk Oops!

Error: Probe was not triggered during probing move
Error: Probe was not triggered during probing move

This happened with the Z at about +100mm

@Titus-A-Duxass can you post your config as well just so we can see your probe settings?
btw, what probe arrangement are you using?

Titus A Duxass

@jay_s_uk

Okay, I switch it off and manually lowered Z, it now homes. I think there maybe a time out issue.

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

G1 X40 Y15 F6000 ; go to first bed probe point and home Z

so really you want to change that to the centre of your bed, taking into account the probe offset (i.e if the centre of X is 150 and the probe is 10mm to the left of the nozzle you would move to 160)

same goes for homez

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

M350 Z64 I0 ; configure microstepping without interpolation
M350 X64 Y64 E64 I1

i would stick to x16 rather than x64. you don't gain anything

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

F120

your probe speed is to move at 2mm/s. thats ok for a second pass but your first pass probably wants to be quicker. you can set a first and second probing speed like this F1200:120

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

M584 Z0.1:0.5:0.3:0.4

you don't need this again

Titus A Duxass

I really appreciated your help this.
Now you are stretching my 61yr old brain.
I have a bed that is 300 x 300 so centre will be 150 x 150 - you can see the probe/nozzle set up in the photos.

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

So I simply overwrite 64 with 16 in config.g?

jay_s_uk

@Titus-A-Duxass you'll also have to divide your steps per mm by 4

for the probe point you'd move to X150 Y125
