Duex5 Problems
-
can you post the diagnostic output when all axis have moved a bit.
-
I don't know how to answer without sounding sarcastic, because I am truly looking for help, but I don't have all axis movement. I have only had all axis movement 3 times in the last week, but if I do get all axis movement I will for sure grab a diagnostic output.
-
can you post a picture of your wiring?
-
What might not be clear in the photo is the GND connection. There is individual 18awg GND from power supply to each board, but there is also a 18awg GND jumper between boards.
-
@memyr6 Suggest you remove the individual GND wires from the PSU. In bold letter here https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Duex2_and_Duex5_Features it says " Do not run separate ground wires from each terminal block back to the power supply unless the power supply is very close (less than 100mm) to the Duet 2 and Duex." Looking at the picture, I'd say your additional GND wires are longer than 100mm.

@deckingman Looking at the photo, I believe he has a GND connection between Duet and Duex, no?
-
It sounds like he has both. I’m not an electronics expert, but I hear alarm bells ringing.
It also looks like you (op) have two ferrules jammed into the same screw terminal. That seems janky. Put two wires into one ferrule.
-
Yes indeed, I did not see that he has a second ground connection on the Duex5.
@memyr6, there are 2 extra wide ferrules delivered in the wiring kit, you should use those to connect the Duex5
like depicted here: https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Duex2_and_Duex5_Features#Section_Wiring -
I have removed the extra ground I had and used the twin lead ferrule, no change. As a test, I also removed all wiring from the 2 boards except for the ribbon cable and powered the 5V through the USB, M115 still shows no DUEX5. I'm assuming it would show up like described in the commissioning section??

@memyr6, please ask you supplier to replace your DueX and the ribbon cable. It sounds to me that it is not always responding to interrogation from the Duet,
