3rd extruder issues
-
I have the Duet Wifi and a DUEX5 board. I am attempting to configure 3 extruders. At the moment, I only have one heater connected, as I am trying to get the extruders working correctly. i will work on the heaters after I have the extruders working. As such, I have set all extruders to use heater 0. I also have not set my offsets yet, as they have yet to be determined.
I have a Cartesian printer, with dual independent Z axes, connected to the Z and E0 connectors on the Duet Wifi. I am using E1, E2, and E3 for the extruders, numbered Tool 0, Tool 1, and Tool 2
The issue I am running into is as follows: Tools 0 and 1 work perfectly. Tool 2 will not turn. It just vibrates back and forth.
I have verified my wiring, repeatedly. If I remap E3 on the DUEX5 to Tool 0 or Tool 1 in the firmware, making no wiring changes, the motor connected to E3 on the Duex5 works perfectly. If I remap E1 (on the Duet Wifi) or E2 (On the DUEX5) to be Tool 2, the problem moves to that connector.
This suggests to me that I am missing something in the configuration, but I am unable to determine what it is. Knowing me, it is probably something simple that I have overlooked.

I would try to set the M584 command to include the extruder drives too like mentioned in the example.
This is just the example from the page, you need to adjust it to match your connections:
https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Gcode#Section_M584_Set_drive_mappingExample:
M584 X0 Y1 Z2:3 E4:5:6 ; Driver 0 controls the X motor, 1 controls Y, 2 and 3 control Z motors, 4 5 and 6 control E motors -
@bkbreyme A couple of things.
Firstly, remapping drives does not remove their old assignments so it's best to explicitly map the extruders as well as the axes motors. Therefore instead of M584 X0 Y1 Z2:3 ; use M584 X0 Y1 Z2:3 E4:5:6:7:8:9 ; Strictly speaking, if you aren't using drivers 8 and 9 you could leave those out of the M584 but it keeps things tidy.
Secondly, in your tool definitions, the "D" parameter refers to extruder drive which is not the physical drive. Also the numbering starts with 0 not 1. So the first extruder drive will be D0 which, when you map it as shown above will be driver number 4. The first tool which is P0 should use D0, not D1. So instead of M563 P0 D1 H1 F4; use M563 P0 D0 H1 F4. And likewsie for the other tools. i.e use M563 P1 D1 H1 F4 and M563 P2 D2 H1 F4
Edit. I was typing as you were so I missed your comment about M584, but yes you should.

That worked. I know I was overlooking something simple, in this case, the "D" parameter being logical and not physical. Thank you

Glad your are sorted now. BTW, the drive number thing has caught me out on two occasions which took me a while to realise my error. Wait until you try a five extruder mixing hot end ................

Now that I know what to expect, I would not be caught by this. That does not mean I won't run into something else...

That's what I thought the first time. But I made the same mistake a couple of years later which had me scratching my head for half an hour or so.
