Question re: Expansion Board Error
-
Quick question for those of you in the know. I bought an expansion board for my WiFi to add additional extruders and just hooked it up w/ the supplied ribbon cable. When I turn on the machine, I get an error stating the additional drives on the expansion board are "shorted" and in "over temperature." Is this normal? Will I get this error until I actually hook-up extruders or is there something wrong?
Thanks in advance!

Sorry I can't help with your main question, but I've come across an interesting comment by @dc42 that may at least help dealing with the constant 'error' messages DWG throws in this context until you get the main issue sorted out (I haven't had a chance to test this in practice though).
Recent firmware versions allow you to send M569 Pnnn R-1 to disable monitoring of driver nnn.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info, Snowcrash!

Have you connected VIN power to the DueX board as well as the ribbon cable? Without VIN power, you will get that error.

I didn't, DC42. That must be it. Thanks much (and enjoy your holiday)!
