closed loop nema 17/23 driver/controller for Duet 3 6hc board

@t3p3tony thank you for your reply.
Will there be an update for position feedback for the 1xd boards?

T3P3Tony

@hoops40 the 1XD board is designed for external motor controllers (which can be either open or closed loop). Position feedback would be handled by that controller not the 1XD.

@t3p3tony understood thank you.

@t3p3tony I have the boards set to channel 50 and 51;
I understand the command set for the closed loop steppers with quadrature encoder:
M569.1 P50.0 S1 T2 E20 R100 I0 D0 ; Configure the 1HCL board at CAN address 50 with a quadrature encoder on the motor shaft that has 20 steps per motor full step.
M569.1 P51.0 S1 T2 E20 R100 I0 D0 ; Configure the 1HCL board at CAN address 51 with a quadrature encoder on the motor shaft that has 20 steps per motor full step.
M569 P50.0 D4 S1 ; Configure the motor on the 1HCL at can address 50 as being in closed-loop drive mode (D4) and not reversed (S1)
M569 P51.0 D4 S0 ; Configure the motor on the 1HCL at can address 51 as being in closed-loop drive mode (D4) and not reversed (S0)
M584 X50.0 Y51.0 ; set X and Y drivers
M917 X0 Y0 ; Set the closed loop axes to have a holding current of zero.

What will the command set look like for an open loop motor X and Y axis?
I am currently waiting on the motors to arrive and would like to make use of these boards in the mean time.

In the M569 commands, instead of using D4 (closed loop mode) use D0, D1, D2 or D3 depending on which mode you want to use. D2 is safest/easiest.

@dc42 ok, thanks... I will set M569 P50 and 51 D2 S (whatever direction it was originally).
I'm reading through the calibration and tuning of the closed loop steppers and I was wondering if some one has done a video on this yet? The steps to follow look fairly strait forward but I would love to see the process in action from installation through process application.

@dc42 OH MY GOD... the chip set on the new 1HCL boards are so much more efficient than the drivers on the Duet 3 6HCL boards.... I love it... you guys are awesome!!!!!
