Extruder drives show zero current
-
I cant seem to get my E0 and E1 steppers to move. I believe I have configured the firmware correctly.
When I go to my machine settings on the DWC it shows that the extruders are configured to 0Ma. This is despite the drive mapping in
M584 and setting the current in M906.
Diagnostics tell me that the duex 5 is recognised ( the duex 5 has just been replaced as it was previousley not being recognised by the duet 2).
Could anyone please check over my config g. and see if I'm missing something?
I am running a Duet 2 Ethernet with a Duex 5.
This is my Config G:Here is a picture of settings in question:
Cheers!

Sorry, not sure if the config g above is viewable. Her is a cut and paste:

Can you please share the results of M122?
Please post a photo showing your Duex wiring?
Are you sure you've connected to the right drivers on the Duex?

Ok so I've come in fresh this morning and realised that the extruder is working. I had the feed rate so low that I couldn't hear or see it moving.
Still showing 0Ma in the machine properties though. Strange, but not the end of the world.
I am going to attempt a print today hopefully.
Will let you know how it goes.

Your firmware is 3.1 but there has been a bug fix release 3.1.1. I also suspect that your DWC might be out of date.
Upload this zip file as is to the /sys folder
