Trying to get IDEX up and running, need help U3 not working
-
I have changed to U2 earlier but was still having issues. I think i had found the problem in the max limit set up but i lost my WiFi and have been trying to get the duet wifi working. I have another duet WiFi and have updated to latest and setup the macro. i am getting a bad command in M587:
M552 S0
G4 P1000
M587 S”Ronald’s Wi-Fi Network” P”lead9376” -
Which firmware are you running? Use M115 to check. If it's 1.20beta8 then this is a known bug, in which case please upgrade to 1.20beta8+1.
Please note, the single-quote character in your ssid will need to be sent as two single quote characters in the M587 command. This is because within a double-quoted string, one single-quote character means force the following character to lowercase.

I am using the 1.20beta8+1.

READ: okNot sure what you mean about the single quote. Do i need to do the following:
M552 S0
G4 P1000
M587 S”Ronald”s Wi-Fi Network” P”lead9376”I have tried this and it still returns:

READ: ok -
I think you may be using the wrong double-quote characters because the ones in your post are angled. Also, between the letter d and letter s you need two single quote characters, not one double quote. Like this:
M587 S"Ronald''s Wi-Fi Network" P"lead9376"
Cut and paste that line, and try it. I just tried it on one of my printers and it worked. When you send M587 without parameters to list remembered networks, you should see this:
Ronald's Wi-Fi Network IP=0.0.0.0 GW=0.0.0.0 NM=0.0.0.0

Still not working. I will try again later. I may change my SSID to a simpler name and try again.

Are you now using the correct double quote characters in your macro?
You may find it easier to send the commands via USB from a terminal emulator program.

Yes i think that is the problem. I have just received my Duet ethernet and i am connected. I have everything homing but i cannot get the U axis to move once homed. Here is my config on my movement section.
; Movement section
M569 P0 S1 ; Drive 0 goes forwards (change to S0 to reverse it)
M569 P1 S0 ; Drive 1 goes forwards
M569 P2 S1 ; Drive 2 goes forwards
M569 P3 S1 ; Drive 3 goes forwards
M569 P4 S0 ; Drive 4 goes forwards
M569 P5 S1 ; Drive 5 goes forwards
M584 X0 Y1 Z2 U5 E3:4 ; Create U axis for second X carriage before we try to configure it
M574 X1 Y1 U1 Z0 S0 ; Set endstop configuration (X and Y endstops at low end, U endstop at high end, active high, no Z endstop)
M906 X800 Y800 U800 Z800 E1000 ; Set motor currents (mA)
M201 X800 Y800 U800 Z15 E1000 ; Accelerations (mm/s^2)
M203 X15000 Y15000 U15000 Z100 E3600 ; Maximum speeds (mm/min)
M566 X600 Y600 U600 Z30 E20 ; Maximum jerk speeds mm/minute
M208 X280 Y304 U280 Z200 ; Set axis maxima (adjust to suit your machine)
M208 X0 Y0 U0 Z-280 S1 ; Set axis minimum (adjust to make X=0 and Y=0 the edge of the bed)
M92 X80.62 Y80.08 U80.62 Z400 ; Set axis steps/mm
M92 E420:420 ; Set extruder steps per mm
M350 X16 Y16 U16 Z16 E16 I1 ; Set 16x microstepping with interpolation
G21 ; Work in millimetres
G90 ; Send absolute coordinates…
M83 ; ...but relative extruder movesAm i missing something?

What driver are you using for the 6th driver (the U motor): the first driver on a DueX2 or DueX5, or something else?
-
it is on the DueX5
-
In this command:
M574 X1 Y1 U1 Z0 S0 ; Set endstop configuration (X and Y endstops at low end, U endstop at high end, active high, no Z endstop)
you have specified U1 which means that the U endstop is at the low end of the U axis. However, the U endstop on an IDEX machine is normally at the high end. So use U2 in that command.

That has solved the problem. I can now start to calibrate. Thanks so very much for the help. I thought i had changed it and then changed it back for some reason.
