      Re: How to check the real current of the stepper motor

      Hi Duet experts,

      I'm looking for a method to record the current of the extruder stepper during printing.

      Trinamic drivers monitor that current, is there a way to get that measurement via gcode, object model, or dsf-python?

      Thank you

        @DDD theres no feedback provided.
        you'd have to use something like zapta's stepper motor analyzer

        Owns various duet boards and is the main wiki maintainer for the Teamgloomy LPC/STM32 port of RRF. Assume I'm running whatever the latest beta/stable build is

          @DDD said in How to check the "real-time" current of a extruder:

          Trinamic drivers monitor that current

          They monitor it only for the purposes of achieving the current you set and watching for short circuits. They don't provide feedback on the current achieved, apart from reporting short circuits.
