Configuration duet wifi + clearpath
-
Hi all,
I want use the clearpath motor (model n. CPM-SDSK-2311P-EQN) with my duet wifi, here the specs:
Firmware Name: RepRapFirmware for Duet 2 WiFi/Ethernet
Firmware Electronics: Duet WiFi 1.02 or later
Firmware Version: 2.02(RTOS) (2018-12-24b1)
WiFi Server Version: 1.21
Web Interface Version: 1.22.6In according to manual of clearpath, I've wiring the motor with the driver extension breakbord.
For connection I've used the clearpath manual (pag 43 of manual, in attach) :
Step+ --> black
Step- --> yellow
Dir+ --> white
Dir- --> brown
En+ --> blu
En- --> orangeThe power supply for the motor is this one: IPC-3 Power Supply
The firmware is generated with the configurator online, and this is the config.g

But when I try to make home the X axes the results is the message: Error: Attempt to move motors when VIN is not in range
I've just connect the X axis, and I don't heve the endstop, because I want use the "User Seeks Home" in clearpath software (0_1566401900974_ClearPath User Manual_pgs182_188.pdf pag 182-188 of manual).
Where is the error?
If you need another info, please tell me,
Thanks a lot,

How are you powering the Duet? It sounds to me that you haven't connected VIN power.
-
oh, sorry.
I use this power supply:
Thanks,
Andrea

Ok, little update. Now the motor is alive (
) but it doesn't work as it should..Home dosen't work, someone use this motor? I want use the option "Shaft angle motor", but the motor dosen't stop in right position..
P.s. I've just reconnect the power supply and the motor can moves..
-
Update (again):
After abandoning the idea of using a sensorless system, I installed two mechanical microswith, but I have a home problem.
The movement system is CoreXY. Giving the commands G91 - G1 S2 X10 F3000 and G91 - G1 S2 Y10 S3000 the printer moves correctly, but when I go to press the home for the x axis the printer moves in the X + direction and if I press the microswitch nothing is happening. The micro are correctly configured, in NC, the LEDs on the duet stay on, if I press them the LEDs go off, it should be the correct behavior. Where am I wrong? -
@alil2096 how are your homex.g and homey.g setup?
-
The home problem was a settings in Clearpath software. In clearpath software there is an option for home, if you want to use the "classic homing" (with duet) you must disable the home into clearpath software..
Now the home is work, BUT....
I don't know how set the microstepping.. In clearpath motor I've set 1600step/rotation, but which value I must set in config.g??
Then, when I move the Y axis there are some vibration.. but only when I move Y, if I try to make the home for X axis all work perfect (but the microstepping is very wrong, the axis is long about 400mm, but if I move for 70-80mm the X axis is in the final section of rail)..
Do you have some ideas?
Do you need a video of Y axis?
Thanks a lot for all

@alil2096 said in Configuration duet wifi + clearpath:
1600step/rotation
you don't have microstepping in this case - or rather any "microstepping" is being handled by the external setup. So if its 1600 steps/revolution then you work out the gearing of your setup (pulleys/belts or leadscrews) so 1 revoltuion of the servo = how much liner movement. That then determines the steps/mm so if 1 motor revolution leads to 10mm of movement, thats 160 steps/mm
-
Ok, I've calculated the correct steps with: (Steps/revolution)/(Pulley tooth count*Belt pitch)
I've increase the number of steps/revolution at 8000, so, the results is 200step/revolution.
I've deleted the X and Y number of steps and I've set the correct steps in M92 line. The dimensional movement is correct now.
The last problem is the vibration during movement on Y axis..
Thanks,
Andrea

Hi everyone..
I've another problem with the clearpath..
When the toolhead move from X=0 and Y=0 to X=400 and Y=400 all works fine, but when I try to move the toolhead from X=0 and Y=400 to X=400 and Y=400 there are a lots of vibration.
But only in this direction, and I don't understand why.
Someone have an idea?
Thanks,
Andrea

Try adjust motor current, and possibly max motor speeds.

Is this a CoreXY machine? If so, the first move you describe uses only one motor, but the second uses both.
-
Yes, it's a coreXY.
In second case the machine use only the right motor..
But the motor works well, because when the motors work togheter there are no vibration..this is the stranger thing
