Thank you for the solution. ❤

@tkln no, you need to define each motor as a separate axis, and move that. So for the X axis, define an extra axis U which has the motor you want to move independently:

M584 X0.2:0.3 U0.3

Then you can move the U axis with G1 U5 (relative rather than anbsolute axis movements will probably work best). I’m not sure exactly what will happen when you send a subsequent G1 X… movement, though. It should keep the spacing you have set. You will also need to home the U axis first, or give it a position with G92.

RRF does not natively support a six axis delta, so it will rely on the slicer to send appropriate commands if using more than the standard 3 axes.

@dc42 I experimented some more and came up with testing routine. Trying to set StealthChop to SpreadCycle at low speed. No luck... Or maybe at 10mm/s is all I can get?

Accel/jerk are halved in comparison to normal operation.

Each testing sequence consists of:

Configuration Homing with tuning Three sets of moves of Y and U separately Each set has different speed - 10, 50 and 100mm/s

It runs five tests with different configuration each:

StealthChop to SpreadCycle with switch at 10.4 mm/s StealthChop to SpreadCycle with switch at 52.1 mm/s StealthChop to SpreadCycle with switch at 93.8 mm/s Pure SpreadCycle Pure StealthChop

I've recorded a routine with first 3 sequences. Every time movement is above switch speed then "clack" happens. Its visibly less noticeable at low setting, but is still there. As it's increased then it gets much worse.

If you could look if I did homing/tuning correctly, please.

I'll proceed to experimenting with different speeds. Previously when I picked different values for M569 and M915 I've got some improvement - clacking was getting less and less visible.

Thanks for your time and input.

@flux said in Connect servo motor to Duet2Wifi with Duex5:

i can use a servo OR a heater, but don't booth a same time on a same channel?

Correct.
