M350: Set microstepping mode
-
Hi
What do you set the M350 parameters to if you use external drivers with there own micro-stepping?
Thanks

Either don't use M350 at all, or if you need to use it for the internal drivers, don't mention any axes that use external drivers in the M350 command.

Just can not get the motors to move.
See latest setup below. I am using DM542 Full Digital Stepper Drives, they require a pulse width of 2.5 2.5 us. Drive are set to 1600 micro steps.

First check whether the Enable signal is working properly. When you power up the Duet, the motors should be un-powered and therefore free to move. When you try to home them, or to jog them (with M564 H0 in config.g or sent first to allow movement before homing), they should be powered up and no longer be free to move. If you find they are locked to start with and become free when you try to move them, then change R1 to R0 in your M569 commands for the external drivers.
