      I am looking for help getting my Duet2 card running, I thank you in advance.

      I am trying to test my new Duet2 card in a minimal configuration just trying to turn one motor on the X axis.

      I cannot get the motor to be energized even though I believe it is connected correctly and I have 24 volts applied.

      Firmware is: 2.01(RTOS) (2018-07-26b2). I am using the USB connection and the Putty terminal program.

      I attached just one motor to the x axis with the matching phases at the end pins of the 4 pin motor connector.

      I do not measure voltage across any of the pins of any of the motor connectors.

      I am using 24 volts and have confirmed 23.9 Volts using the M122 command.

      The motor is not energized. I have tried all the motor connectors and the motor is not energized on any, I of course turn off power before moving the connector. The motor is a

      When I run an X home command I see pulses on the Xstep pin of the connector.

      This is the result of the M122 command:

        1. Please check the motor currents, by sending command M906 without parameters, and M913 without parameters

        2. Post your config.g file.

          Thank you for your help. Additional information, when I monitor the 24 volt current on my power supply it is about 100mA.
          My motor is a Current/phase: 2.8A, Voltage: 3.2V, Phase Resistance: 1.13ohm, Inductance: 5.4mH ± 20%(1KHz).
          Wiring on 4 pin connector is AABB. Confirmed motor phase wiring with ohmeter.

          The information you asked for:

          M906 response:
          Motor current (mA) - X:2000, Y:2000, Z:2000, E:2000:2000, idle factor 0%
          ok

          M913 response:
          Motor current % of normal - X:100, Y:100, Z:100, E💯100
          ok

            @vbiondo said in Duet2 V1.04. Motor not energized but steps seen on oscilloscope:

            Motor current (mA) - X:2000, Y:2000, Z:2000, E:2000:2000, idle factor 0%

            M906 X1000.00 Y1000.00 Z1000.00 E800.00 I30 ; Set motor currents (mA) and motor idle factor in per cent

            This does not match.
            You set the current to 1000 but its reported to be 2000.

            do you have a config overwrite?

              I don't know what a config overwrite would be.
              I am trying to learn to use this card.
              But my 24 volts power supply ammeter reports only 100mA with or without the motor plugged in.
              There is only one motor plugged in, I don't know how there could be any current in an axis that has no motor.

                is there a file called Config-override.g in your sys folder.

                  Thank you for your quick response.

                  No, there's no Config-override.g.

                  There's bed, config, homedelta, pause, resume, sleep, stop, tfree0, tpost0 and tpre0.g.

                  I configured as a MiniKossel, because I'll eventually be using it to control a similar delta printer.

                    How have you tried to move the motor? On a delta, the only types of move allowed before the printer has been homed are G1 moves with the S1 or S2 (or H1 or H2) parameter, and only if the machine is in relative movement mode (G91). See https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/ConfiguringRepRapFirmwareDeltaPrinter#Section_Testing_the_motors_and_endstops_individually.

                      I have tried with home moves, and wtih the S1 parameter as described in your testing the motors individually guide.

                      As I indicated, I do see step pulses on the X_step pin of the diagnostic pad on the board with my oscilloscope, but of course no movement since the motor has no current.

                      Thank you for your help.

                          When you home do the other two towers move and just the X not work?

                            Thank you T3P3Tony,

                            No. No movement on any motors.

                            I have put a motor into each of the motor connectors and none of them is energized.

                            My 24 volt power supply shows a draw of about 100mA, but none of the motors is energized.

                            I have checked the ENN pin of the TMC2660 chips, they are at ground. There is 24 volts at the appropriate pins of the TMC2660s, and 3.3 volts at their supply.

                              @vbiondo please post your homedelta.g

                              Also when are your endstops showing as being triggered when you look at the machine properties page of settings in Duet Web Control:
                              https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Duet_Web_Control_Manual#Section_Machine_Properties
                              If you trigger them does the status change?

                                Tony,

                                My X,Y, and Z endstops show as "No" ( not hit ) unless I short 1&3 of the endstop connector, then they show "Yes."

                                E0 is opposite, shows as "Yes" unless 1&3 are shorted.

                                Below is my homedelta.g file. Shouldn't my motors be energized regardless of homedelta?

                                Thank you.

                                    I don't know much about Delta's but @dc42 said above that the only moves allowed before homing are G1 with an S parameter and only if G91 relative is set. Yet the config file shows G90 (absolute).

                                      @vbiondo that home delta looks ok to me. If it had been blank or something then maybe the motors would not be energised as they had not received a valid command to home. Although thinking about it you say you have seen the step pulses going to the driver so that does not make sense. I wonder if the ENN line is not switching for all the stepper drivers. See if pin 19 on the steppers is going low when movement is commanded.

                                      @deckingman that's why the homedelta.g switches them to relative before homing them.

                                        Does the extruder motor move?

                                        If you can not heat up, use "M302 S1" to allow cold extrusion.

                                          HW check ideas, since you have an oscilloscope:

                                          • Do any signal present on TMC's OA1 OA2 OB1 OB2 pins? (during move)

                                          • What can you measure between BRA/BRB and GND? 1. Measure resistance without power, 2. check on scope during move.

                                          • Between SRA/SRB and GND?

                                          • You verified that the TMC's get 24V and the STEP signals. This is where everything gets interesting... But does them get GND?

                                            1. Please upgrade your firmware to version 2.02, which will provide better diagnostics.

                                            2. Please verify that you have continuity from the Duet motor headers right through to your motors. With power off but motors connected, use your multimeter to measure the resistance between the two pins at one end of the X motor connector, by touching the probes on the motor connector spills on the underside of the Duet. It should read a few ohms, the resistance of one motor phase. Then check the resistance between the two pins at the other end of the X motor connector. Likewise you should get a few ohms resistance between. There should be on continuity between any pair of pins on the X motor connector that are not next to each other, or between the two middle pins.
