Unable to setup an endstop for a syringe axis on Duet 2 Wifi
-
We are using the Duet 2 Wifi for a threedimensional 3D printer, excepting that we added a 4th axis. It has a stepper motor with a syringe on it, and an endstop too (connected on the E0 pins). We're having trouble setting up that endstop, for making the homing process. We accomplished to move the E0 motor when doing the "homeall" process, but when the endstop gets clicked the motor doesn't stop.
this is the configuration of the homeall:
G91 ; relative positioning
G1 H2 Z5 F6000 ; lift Z relative to current position
G1 H1 X-235 Y-215 F1800 ; move quickly to X and Y axis endstops and stop there (first pass)
G1 H2 X5 Y5 F6000 ; go back a few mm
G1 H1 X-235 Y-215 F360 ; move slowly to X and Y axis endstops once more (second pass)
G1 H1 Z-205 F360 ; move Z down stopping at the endstopT0 ; Select tool 0 for use (syringe) this enable the commands in Dashboard
G1 H1 E0-40 F60 ; move E0 (Syringe) 10mm down in 60mm/min = 1mm/s (first pass)
;M18 E0 ; stop E0 axis when it hits the endstop
G90 ; absolute positioning
;G92 Z0 E0 ; set Z position to axis minimum (you may want to adjust this); Uncomment the following lines to lift Z after probing
;G91 ; relative positioning
;G1 Z5 F100 ; lift Z relative to current position
;G90 ; absolute positioningThank you for reading, waiting for your answer!

@maletecsci you can't home an extruder.
If you want to move it to a set position, map the drive to a different axis, e.g. U and then carry out the move. Then map it back as the extruder -
@jay_s_uk Hi! It's my first time using Duet2, so if you could help me a little more would be great. From your answer, I understood that i should modify the config.g and create a new axis. But, where do i connect the drive? And how do i map it with the new axis?
Here is my config.g if it's usefull; Configuration file for Duet WiFi (firmware version 3.3)

Thank you for answering so quickly! Looking forward for yor reply.

@maletecsci i think it may be enough to set up the same driver as E and U, so something like
M584 X0 Y1 Z2 E3 U3 P3with the U axis settings matching the E settings in the rest of the driver settings
That will hide the U axis by default.
Then in your homing file at the beginning, setM584 P4. That will unhide the U axis, allowing you to home it usingG1 H1 Uxetc.
Then just rehide the U axis at the endM584 P3
