Help with configuration

I get this error when i try M98 P"config.g"

Error: Setting not available for external drivers
Warning: Macro file config-override.g not found
This is my configuration file.
config (1).g

I have one motor on each of x,y and z axes. and one extruder motor. Extruder is connected on to 1XD board and Z is connected to HCL board. The main board is 6HC v1.02. Firmware is 3.4.5.

Can anyone help me please. Thanks in advance.

Well the warning about config_override.g is simple. You have an M501 near the very end of your config file but you don't have the actual override file. Either disable/remove the M501 or add a empty config-override.g file

As to the other error perhaps it is this: M569 P40.0 S1 T2:2:2:2.

Remove the T parameter and see what happens.

@fcwilt Well the warning is gone, but the error still remains

So you removed the T parameter?

Frederick

@fcwilt Yes, but got the same error

You are "re-booting" after changing config.g - correct?

@fcwilt No i didn't reboot. I sent M98 P"config.g"

Just to be safe try a re-boot. I vaguely recall that some configuration settings need a re-boot to clear them.

I always re-boot to be safe.

@fcwilt
Tried reboot, but same thing.

OK thanks.

Let me take another look.

While I ponder this you could try a "brute force" approach and edit things so you are:

configuring X only
test
then add Y
test
then add Z
test

Tedious but likely to reveal the problem.

Oh, you have a M569.7 command twice.

It may or may not matter.

@fcwilt I did this, X,Y and Z axis were fine. The error came when I had the extruder configuration alone.

Good job.

Now we can focus on axis E.

How about adding back each E related item and test.

One of them should be the source of the error.

Again tedious but likely effective.

@fcwilt Error was with the M906 command

Good job.

I know it was tedious but it worked.

I wonder how you do set the current for that stepper - clearly related to using the 1XD board.
