Multiple Axis moving at the same time on Cartesian Printer
-
I have wired up 5 Wantai DQ542MA Stepper Motor Drivers to a Duet WiFi with a Duet Expansion Breakout Board attached.
- The X-Axis Motor is connected to the E2 Motor / Drive 5 Connector on the Expansion Board
- The Y-Axis Motors are connected to the E3 / Drive 6 and E4 / Drive 7 Connectors on the Expansion Board
- The Z-Axis Motors are connected to the E5 / Drive 8 and E6 / Drive 9 Connectors on the Expansion Board
- The First Extruder Motor is connected to the E0 Connector on the Duet WiFi
- The Second Extruder Motor is connected to the E1 Connector on the Duet WiFi
I am using the 3.1.1 Firmware on the Duet and am still trying to simply do some raw movements.
When using
G91to do relative movements and thenG1 H1 X10via DWC, both the X-Axis and the Y-Axis move. The same happenes when I go forG1 H1 Y10instead.Here is my config.g:

T-Parameter on the Drives connected to a Wantai Stepper Motor Drivers like soM569 P6 S1 T6:6:5:0however I have no Idea where I would get those values from and moreover I don't think there is any relation between the timing settings and the issue of the axis moving at the same time (but I could be completely wrong)..!I have no clue why this might happen..

Can you post your entire config.g in case there is something later in the file that may be changing something earlier in the file.
If you send G92 X100 Y100 and then try to move an axis with the jog controls do they work correctly then?

G92 X100 Y100, unfortunately still both axis move as before. -
@t0bias said in Multiple Axis moving at the same time on Cartesian Printer:
M584 X5 Y6:7 Z8:9 E3:4 ; set drive mapping M350 X1 Y1 Z1 E16 I0 ; configure microstepping with interpolation off
Are you sure you have the motors plugged into the right drivers and have the right drivers mapped to the right axis?
Also, probably not a good idea to use 1x microstepping. Use x16 with interpolation enabled (
I1)Are you sure this is a cartesian printer and not a corexy? Photo?
-
If I do use microstepping, the motors connected to the Wantai Drivers move really stuttery..?
To my understanding this is a cartesian printer, it has separate motors and belts for the x and y axis and threaded rods to move the bed?
This is how the motors are wired (so I don't think they are connected correctly):

Odd, it sounds as if the printer is in CoreXY mode. Please send M669 without parameters and report the response.

Have you seen this page on using external stepper drivers?
https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Using_external_stepper_motor_drivers
Do you have anything in your tool change files? tpre tpost etc
-
Are you sure you don't have the drivers for the dual Y actually using one Y motor and one X motor?
-
Ok, figured it out, but well, it's totally embarassing..
I misslabeled some of the individual strands connecting the drivers to the extension breakout, basically wiring one of the Y-Motors Pulse pins to the X-Motors Enable pins.
I still don't quite understand, why this would result in such erratic/arbitrary moves, but hey - at least it works now!
Sorry for the bummer!
