Duet 3 - New user - few quires

Dan1990

Hello everyone, I'm a new user of duet 3 and have few queries to ensure my understanding of the guide.

I would like to connect an external power supply. I have a 5V 7 amp power supply that powering up the SBC and I would like to connect that to the duet3. I must remove the jumper from 5V->SBC and leave it one on Internal 5V EN. Then connect external 5V power supply to EXT 5V?
My printer has dual z-axis and I would like to define that in duet. On the RRF config tool, there is no such option to do it. Do I have to do it via macros or g-code?
I have micro endstops that are NO. Connected them to IO_0 black to ground and red to 3.3V. Is that correct?
I have a heated chamber that has a heating element connected to SSR. So:
a) The wires to control SSR are connected to IO_3. Is that correct or it must be connected to OUT_2?
b) I want to have an additional relay that will disconnect the heating element power supply. Can I connect that to IO_4? This is a typical Arduino relay.

Thank you for all your answers in advance.

Cheers
Dan

no. if they are not powered and have just two wired you connect gnd and io.in. otherwise you are shorting 3.3v to ground.

Regarding that, I am not sure, I must connect the relay to pson pin? Does not make sense to me. I thought that 3 pins are to connect the external supply to power on the duet.

Any advice regarding the first question?

Thanks
Dan

Also, what I have read on the forum is that I have to remove all the jumpers if I want to connect the 5v ext supply. Therefore, there will be no jumpers on the 5V headers? Is that correct?

Can't edit my previous post.

Bed heater should be connected to OUT0 unless you are using an external SSR or mosfet switch to control it.

That question was related to the chamber heater but I have solved it - thanks to the very rich documentation that has been made from you.

If the sensor is a 2-wire microswitch, we recommend that you use the normally-closed contacts, which are the two outermost tags on the switch (leave the centre tag not connected).

However, I am facing another issue a the moment, I have read that Duet recommends having endstops (the very simple one, with two wires) to be wired NC but I have another way around and I wonder if is possible to change that in firmware?

I have tried to change the S value from 1 to 0 and from 1 to 2 but that did not work.

In RRF3 you would use M574 S1 but invert the signal by adding a ! to the pin name.

ex M574 Z1 S1 P"!zstop"

@Phaedrux

Thank you, that worked!

One more question - how I can change the safety values for heaters? My chamber heater is not powerful enough to reach 1,7oC/ sec.

Phaedrux

Usually running a PID auto tune on the heaters is all that's needed to resolve those errors since it gives the firmware an expectation of performance.

Dan1990

@Phaedrux

I have done that, hopefully will help.

Phaedrux

Make sure you remember to use M500 to save the results to confif-override.g and add M501 to the end of config.g to load those results at startup.

Dan1990

@Phaedrux

Did that, the RRF notified me after PID tuning!

I am so amazed by the firmware!

Worth the money!

Can you share the tuned results for the chamber heater? Increasing the dead time value can sometimes help.

Share the entire config.g as well.

The PID as below:

Computed PID parameters for setpoint change P13.4, I0, 482, D51,4
Computed PID parameters for load change P13.4 i0.949, D51.4

Could you advise me on how to invert the Z2 motor, I did the Z1.

I don't know what you mean by this.

Share the contents of your config-override.g so we can see the actual formatted M307 commands

@Phaedrux

I am sorry for not being clear enough,

I have two Z-axis, I have changed the rotation of Z1 (rotating anticlockwise) but Z2 rotating clockwise

You only have a single Z driver defined, so I'm surprised the other is turning at all. Which driver are you using for Z1 and which for Z2?
