Duex5 Testers
-
Just added another pic to Thingiverse that shows the fans mounted in the enclosure.
I'm just a tad concerned that I haven't left enough room between the 2 boards which might make it a bit awkward to connect Vin to both. There won't be enough room to use ferrules on the wires for both boards that's for sure. I'm planning on using a solid conductor between the boards so I reckon it'll be OK but won't know for sure until I get my paws on a Duex5. There is room in the outer part of the case to move the Duex down a bit if necessary so the overall size wont need changing, nor will the lid.

For info the Duex2/5 pinout and wiring diagram is up here:

UPDATE 5: We have received all the prototype boards from the manufacturer, built the test rig, and managed to get the first few tested today
The first boards will be dispatched Monday, with the remainder following on Tuesday (less any that fail testing which need to be reworked). You will receive a notification by email once your board has been dispatched on Monday or Tuesday.
-
After doing a minor rework on all the boards we have dispatched nearly all of them today, the remainder will go tomorrow.
I have contacted a few of you individually already to explain we are fixing an error on your boards and will let you know by email when yours are dispatched.

I guess all at T3P3 must be thinking that no news is good news but in case not, I just thought I'd report in to say that all is well with my shiny new Duex5. It's only running a third extruder, a fan and some LED lights at the moment but no probs at all. I added a couple of pics to my case design on Thingiverse that shows it fitted and wired up next the Duet WiFi http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1859048.
Many thanks. Great product, great service as always.

Thanks Ian!

Being in the US it is probably taking longer to arrive. But I have a new delta printer with a Pyramid 3-in 1-out mixing hot end ready to go with the new expanded drivers.

I've not heard of the Pyramid hot end and a quick Google search didn't turn up anything. Is it anything like the Diamond 3 in 1 out that I'm using?

Was the ribbon cable long enough?

The one I ordered was. :). Given that the board is designed to go back to back with the Duet, I guessed that the "standard" ribbon cable might be a bit short because it has to have a twist and the connectors are no longer opposite each other. I don't know for sure if the "standard" cable would be too short as I asked for a 300mm long cable when I ordered the Duex5 (the additional cost was very reasonable I might add). I can say that 300mm is a bit too long - I'd guess 200mm or maybe a bit shorter still might be OK.
-
Oh dear, the one that came will be to short then!
Tony - What parts do i need to build one? Can i source them from RS ?
-
I use as similar side-by-side configuration in my bench test setup. A 180mm cable is just about long enough.
Yes you can get the parts from RS, Farnell, Rapid etc. The ribbon cable is standard 0.127mm pitch 28awg 50 way and the connectors are standard 2x25 way 2.54mm pitch IDC sockets.

Quick Question. How do i get for example FAN3 to stay on permanently?

Ok scrap that. Worked it out!

Works a treat deckingman
thanks!

That's neat. I didn't manage to lose all the ribbon cable in my installation - I took a guess at 300mm which was way to long. What length did you end with?
Edit. I think it might work better still with a bit more separation between the boards - there is room to move the Duex5 but still keep the outside the same. I might tweak the design at some point.

I'll let you know how long it is in the morning after the print finishes.
