DuetWiFiFirmware minor release 1.15c

guywinslow · 29 Sept 2016, 14:31

Forgive me for being cureas, but how is this going to fix my issue with the motors being drive on when they are not supposed to be. I mean this gcode is that same as i used on the Old Duet. So should it not print the same or maybe beater? I can see issues with the Controller not doing well with bad configuration, but that is fixed right?

So fixing the Config.g is a Good place to start. but non of the changes i have made, has solved this issue. Do you guys want me to run a File with a Specific gcode in it? For Debugging?

I mean i can configure it into thinking its got a Mixing hotend, but I don't have a mixing hotend to test it with.

guywinslow · 29 Sept 2016, 14:53

Should i be configuring the Step mode on the Stepper motor drivers? if so what would be the equivalent to the default mode in the Duet?

guywinslow · 29 Sept 2016, 14:58

Sorry old Duet, Example: M909 X3 Y5 Z2 E3

Sorry, but I'm just trying to help. I just don't understand how your printer is configured. You said

Quote….......
Extrudes: 2
Hot ends: 1

I indeed fead different Filaments into one hotend (2 feeds).
...........end of quote.

From that I assumed that it was a mixing hot end. Now you say that it's not. So I'm not sure what you mean. Do you have two extruders but only use them one at a time?

In your config.g you have tools defined to use 5 extruders, 3 of which which don't exist and you have a T4 command which selects one of these tools. I have no idea how the firmware would react to that but it is clearly something that needs correcting.

deckingman · 29 Sept 2016, 15:03

ReRap firmware doesn't use M909. Use M350 instead. I believe the default is 16x microstepping with interpolation.

guywinslow · 30 Sept 2016, 01:47

Correct, i use one extruder at a time. I have a Jig that feeds the filament from 4 extruders into one mounted in the middle of my boden tub

deckingman · 30 Sept 2016, 08:06

Now you are saying that you have 4 (or 5 ) extruders when previously you said 2. I have no idea how you can be driving them all when the Duet WiFi on it's own only supports 2 extruders. Sorry but I'm going to have to give up with this.

T3P3Tony · 30 Sept 2016, 09:06

Guy, how is the jig operated? Do you have 4 seperate extruder motors and 1 hotend or 1 extruder motor and the input is somehow switched?

guywinslow · 30 Sept 2016, 14:52

4 separate extruder motors and 1 hotend. Its just a train track for the boden tubes. the jig is not connected to any electronics. just maniacal. no moving parts. Any one can print it

OK, but the Duet WiFi only has 2 extruder drive outputs, so how are you driving the other 2 extruder motors?

guywinslow · 1 Oct 2016, 02:58

not right now, wating for the new expansive board

guywinslow · 1 Oct 2016, 02:59

Sorry Expansion board

Got [dc42/RepRapFirmware] M572 Loosing steps in XY email, was able to reproduce on my printer, but it made my over extrusion on line changes worse. Hop info helps

guywinslow · 2 Oct 2016, 17:48

OK, i put new E firmware in. and Still had the same problem. So i put this into the Config.g file:

M572 D0 S0.00 ; Set extruder 0 pressure advance
M572 D1 S0.00 ; Set extruder 1 pressure advance

problem is not as bad. in fact just a little bit of Extrusion error now when the program moves to the beginning of the next line

Are you certain that setting nonzero extruder pressure advance in M572 is causing a problem? Also, have you checked on the web interface or by sending M115 that you really are running firmware version 1.15e? Firmware updates do fail sometimes.

guywinslow · 16 Oct 2016, 02:45

No Actually, it just helped. Things started working right when i put the M667 S0 and the M500. I can set the M572 D0 S0.00 to something other then zero. Whats a Recommended value to start with?

guywinslow · 16 Oct 2016, 02:50

oww, yes i am running firmware version 1.15e. At least that is what the web interface reads out.

Try S values between 0.05 and 0.25. If you are using more than about 2mm of retraction then be prepared to reduce it when you use high S values. For example, using S0.25 will add about 1mm of retraction at the end of a fast printing move.

guywinslow · 17 Oct 2016, 02:39

Ok, i set the pressure advance to this, and started a test print
M572 D0 S0.05 ; Set extruder 0 pressure advance
M572 D1 S0.05 ; Set extruder 1 pressure advance

When i got to the 1.00mm Z height, the Y axes started to jump, as if it was moving, braking, moving, braking. i killed the print as it was getting pretty load and i was afraid it was going to brake the printer.
