Duet 3 Sensorless Homing Issues
-
I'm having some sensorless homing issues on a new machine using the Duet 3. I have played some with the sensitivity setting in the M915 command (tried -60 to 60). It actually never seems to report a stall. It does stall physically and starts to skipping. I'm unsure what else to try. Below is my config.

Pay attention to the H parameter and the speed needed to detect the stall.

I think that was part of my issue. I found in another post that it only detects from a gcode file as well. I had just been sending G1 H1 commands from the console to test. I'm guessing that was my main issue. Thanks for the help!

It should work with G1 H1 commands from the console, as long as stall detection has been set up and the move is fast enough, and you have reduced the motor current if necessary (as you would normally do in the homing files when using stall detect homing).
BTW I added this section to the wiki page on stall detection recently https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Stall_detection_and_sensorless_homing#Section_Minimum_recommended_speed_for_stall_detection.
