Maestro connection/guide halp!

@Phaedrux
Nah not yet, I have more important errors to look into as of now

Getting a new one and I see it's been up quite a few times!

I had a somewhat successful print last night. Massive over extrusion and skipping. I did the math wrong, I later realized that I forgot that I some weeks back went from 32 > 16 stepping on the extruder and forgot to take this into account.

Anyways, I'm now getting this error !

Fun fact I'm doing a test cube XYZ it lays down the first layer perfect, starts the second layer, does one round then it stops extruding and this comes up.

I did for a brief moment set a higher motor current, cause there's little to no holding power on the steppers. Im used to them being locked down and immoveable!

It shortly popped up on Driver2 but I somehow set the direction as reverse by mistake /shrug reverting this fixed it.
I checked Vin it's stable.
The drivers Arent hot, it extruders 10x100mm no problems

I wanted to try extruding on E1 instead of E0 but it wouldn't let me, I think put in the wrong code for it...

That may help you to reconfigure your tool to use a different extruder drive.

Do you still get that error if you disconnect the motor and issue a movement command to the driver? If you no longer get the error that would hint that it is a wiring problem.

@phaedrux The thing is, it's not complaining till second layer. I can issue ten 100mm extrusions without issues.

What firmware version are you using?

I believe this thread may apply to your issue.

https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/6607/frequent-short-to-ground-on-z-and-extruder

You may need to upgrade to 2.02RC2 if you aren't already and tune your stealth chop / spread cycle setup.

2.01beta I'll update and look into this. Thank you very much!

[Fizban]

This can't be right.
Besides it's cloning all my macros/Gcodes all the time. Trying to revert this lol

[Phaedrux]

@fizban what file did you use?

[Fizban]

these

[Fizban]

Ok nevermind, Now it actually updated. I had to drag and drop to make it work.

Lol I guess I'll learn this DWC some day =D
It's also a lot more responsive now on the interface!

[Fizban]

@Phaedrux

what the actual f.. Oo

[Phaedrux]

@fizban Have you power cycled after the update?

[Fizban]

I have, I'll re-slice it file lol. I think klipper did similar to me before I switched tbf.

[Fizban]

Success!
I'm now printing again, it sounds different so I take it that the firmware altered something.

I'll look into the interpolation/stealthchop thingie tomorrow.

Right now I'd better get downstairs to the missus! She feels neglected the past days

Thanks @Phaedrux you know your duet! t's much appreciated!!

I think the newer firmware switches to spreadcycle to maintain torque at higher speeds.

[Fizban]

@Duckle Makes sense, before upgrade it was ninja silent, now it resonates a wee bit.
Gotta say I thought my 8825 was quiet, but this is wonderful. I do however miss not being able to hear if it actually runs

Anyways first test print of the cube was good.

Think I need to tune my PID, get the BLtouch sorted and fully calibrate the extruder it's off by +.07mm on the cube, and figure out some non duet stuff like why I still get vertical bands after upgrading to linear rails.

I will undoubtfully return with more questions later haha.
