Config.g issue
-
For starters, check for typos. Right off the bat I see a few typos in your config.g file:
on M563 you have "PO" instead of "P0"
on m584 the M should be capitalizedThe M501 at the end of config.g is calling for the loading of config-override.g, so you'll want to post that here too.
It also wouldn't hurt to post a diagram of how you've connected the stepper drivers to the board, and also what make/model the stepper drivers are (so active high/low can be set properly, as well as step width).
-
kl-5056 from automation technologies. auto active high low whatever they set them selves as far as pulse goes. dir would still work 1 direction. pulse width 1.2us step+ to step+ step- to step- and so on. fully matched polarities on all connections. it worked before using the test ports the latest diagram say not to use. I removed those singal leads when I saw the update. this was a running machine. I only move to the expansion header as per instruction. now I have no machine.

Yes, when you were using test points, the machine needed to be configured to use drives 0-4. Now you're using drives 5-11, and need to set things up accordingly. This is done in the M569 commands, which are still set up for drives 0-4 it seems.
I've never heard of an "auto active high low", I don't know how that would be possible - how would the stepper driver guess what a signal is supposed to mean? The product manual for the KL-5056 states that high enables the driver, low disables the driver. But in your M569 commands you have a mix of some active high, some active low.
Have you corrected the aforementioned typos? Where do things stand now? What about the config-override.g? A wiring diagram would still be helpful, both for now and for any future troubleshooting/questions.
I understand you're frustrated, but please see that you're trying to do something uncommon and unconventional, and therefore difficult. This is further complicated by only providing partial information. There are a lot of folks trying to help, it wouldn't hurt to show them some appreciation, too.

Yes, it is possible to run 12 steppers from a Duet.
If you don't have a config-override.g, then you shouldn't be calling M501 (at the end of config.g).
I'm asking for a wiring diagram because it is necessary to know how things are connected in order to set up config.g. I don't have any way of knowing how to set up the active high/low parameter without seeing how you've connected things, for example. If the stepper enable is not configured correctly, no motion will result.
It looks like you still haven't fixed the typos I mentioned in the first post, nor the M569 commands. It looks like you changed the comments on the M569 commands, but not the commands themselves. The comments are ignored by firmware, they are just there as human-readable notes.
I don't know how else to try to help when you're not following the suggested fixes. I do wish you the best with your build.

i didn't run the config program the admin did
-
that was generated for me and I on changed axis requirements
-
pasta function pasted the wrong copy sorry
-
I took your updated config file posted above (looks like you deleted your post and posted a new version while I was posting), and can verify that the step/direction signals are being generated, see attached.
I verified all of the axes, even though it meant taking the time to update my dev board's firmware.

Ok thanks for that. I have movement on x and z only. they are on drives of different controller ends. 1 on lcd and the other expansion. z only move during homing which fails. I can jog x only. y and all three extruders are dead sticks still. now everytime I make a change to the config via web I can't reconnect. it's the same ethernet connection. I removed the enable leads to auto enable drives. that worked for enable and I have some movement. But the connection error say can't connect to firmware. I can access the web control be address but not reconnect. I have to use usb and repeteir host to send M552 S1 everytime the un plug usb, because the ethernet wont connect with usb even plug in. I am power my desktop and the printer from the same power supply so gnd is common.
