Duet2 Wifi Homing Error
-
I recently purchased the Duet2 Wifi and installed the latest firmware version, and I am trying to test the board before I continue to replace the current board in my Prusa i3 MK3S+. What I am trying to do is to connect a stepper motor to the board and send gcode to the board to make sure it will move the motor. I know that whatever axis the motor is hooked up to needs to be homed before the motor can be moved, but when I send the gcode to home the axis I get the following error:

(Sorry for the unfinished post, the Akismet spam filter wouldn't let me post the whole thing. Here's the rest:)
"Error: Homing file homex.g not found"
I am unsure what the issue could be, given that I have the latest firmware. I have tried the process in both Pronterface and YAT, and I also have an endstop switch hooked up to the board as well to ensure that the homing command would work properly. I am just completely unsure why the homing file is missing. Is there something potentially obvious that I am missing here? Any help is appreciated!!!

@Schematic9088 the error is you have no homex.g in sys. Best off generate yourself a config using the config tool https://configtool.reprapfirmware.org/Start

As has been pointed out, you are missing a file and should run the config tool.
One of the fundamental differences between RRF and Marlin is that a lot of GCode commands simply run a specific gcode file.
This allows you to refine the steps taken for that command to suit your own needs.
The file created by the config tool will be very basic so as to work with almost any printer.Check here for differences to other firmware. Some are important such as using mm/min instead of mm/sec for some commands
