DWC question.
-
Hi,
I am using the most recent firmware and all is working well.
I have installed a Diamond 3 on my system and to keep the wiring tidy I connected all three extruder motors to the Duex 5 board leaving the normal extruder driver outputs on the Duet Wifi unused.
Yet these drivers still display on the DWC pages.
Anyway to hide them?
Thanks.

You can use the M584 command to have extruders 0,1,2… be on drives 5,6,7... or whatever you want.

OK I will give that a try.
Thanks much.

Hi,
Just a bit confused.
To make the three extruders use the first three drivers on the Duex 5 board I would use:
M584 E5:6:7
I'm assuming drivers are numbered from 0-4 on the main board and 5-9 on the expansion board.
Yes? No?
So now when specifying steps/mm for extruders using the M92 command do I use M92 90:90:90?
Before using M584 I needed to use M92 with dummy values for the first two parameters like this M92 10:10:90:90:90.
And when specifying tools there is a driver number parameter - it seems that I must use 0, 1 and 2 instead of 5, 6 and 7 as used in the M584 command.
I find that somewhat confusing - driver numbers don't appear to always map to the physical drivers on the boards.
Perhaps you can clear things up for me.
Thanks.

That's all correct, except I think you meant M92 E90:90:90. The M584 command maps (in this case) extruder drives 0, 1, 2 to driver numbers 5, 6, 7.
