Duet 2 Wifi Servo Control
-
I'm having trouble getting a servo to work. I have a super small 1.5g ultra micro servo that is used in RC aircraft, usually for landing gear. It works with the standard Arduino servo library on a Leonardo, so I know it's both wired correctly (in the broadest sense) and functions as expected. I've also tried all of the below with a SG90 9g servo that I've seen others use with the same results.
I have it plugged into a 5V and GND headers, with the signal wire run to E1Heater - I've tried both terminals, just in case I was reading the wiring diagram wrong.
I'm running a Duet 2 Wifi v1.03 on RRF 3.1.1, WiFi server 1.23.
I attempt to start the PWM signal with
M950 S0 C"e1heat"and then command the servo position with
M280 P0 Snnwhere 'nn' is... pretty much every number. I've tried both low numbers to command angle and high numbers to set the uS directly.
I have also tried specifying the (standard, as far as I can tell) 50Hz frequency with
M950 S0 C"e1heat" Q50I've also tried using exp1.heater3 with the same results.
Unfortunately, none of these are having any effect at all. I must be missing something, probably something obvious, and am hoping someone here can help.

Can you post your full config?
You're not using M950 S0 for a BLTouch or something are you?
If you send M98 P"config.g" do you get any syntax errors?
Here's your pin name options
https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/RepRapFirmware_3_overview#Section_Pin_names_for_Duet_2_WiFi_Ethernet
And M950 for good measure.
I wonder if your pin needs to be inverted.
e1heat *
Some pins (primarily heater pins) have an inversion between the processor and the corresponding output, RRF3 will automatically allow for this inversion. These pins are marked with a * after the pin name in the list below. -
I've made myself kind of a DIY BLTouch in form, functionally identical to the Tiny Touch (https://grabcad.com/library/tiny-touch-nmpg-1) but in a different form factor. Before I even got as far as configuring the rest of it, I was trying to get the servo working under manual control.
I also just tried with M950 S0 C"!e1heat" and no luck.
M98 P"config.g" returns:
HTTP is enabled on port 80 FTP is disabled TELNET is disabled Warning: Heater 0 appears to be over-powered. If left on at full power, its temperature is predicted to reach 365C Warning: Heater 0 appears to be over-powered. If left on at full power, its temperature is predicted to reach 237C Warning: Heater 1 appears to be over-powered. If left on at full power, its temperature is predicted to reach 1279CFull config.g:

@Phaedrux said in Duet 2 Wifi Servo Control:
C"!^e1heat"
No joy. M280 P0 S10 and M280 P0 S100 both result in no movement, same with S1000 and S2000.

MAybe try one of the heater pins also used by the bltouch instead?
on the expansion header you've got heater pin options that go by the names
exp.heater3, exp.8, !duex.e2heat, !duex.pwm1 exp.heater4, exp.13, !duex.e3heat, !duex.pwm2 exp.heater5, exp.18, !duex.e4heat, !duex.pwm3 exp.heater6, exp.23, !duex.e5heat, !duex.pwm4 exp.heater7, exp.31, !duex.e6heat, !duex.pwm5 -
I could have sworn I had already tried C"exp.heater3" but this time around it's working. Not ideal for my current wire length but at least it's working!
Thank you @Phaedrux !
