Missing Steps - Cant Print SpreadCycle StealthChop tuning help
-
Hi Guys
Need a bit more help with tuning spreadcycle / stealthchop and more so how and when the driver switches form one to the other. I configured homing and stallguard and have tuned a few really nice cal cubes in slicer but all at fairly low speeds (not getting into spreadcycle territory?) now increasing print and travel speeds im experiencing huge "bangs/crashes" which I assume is on the change from one mode to the other and vice versa (I think anyway). So the result is huge layer shifts especially apparent when I have more than one body on the print bed ( large travel moves). After the 3rd fail / bang or thud however you want to call it I sat and watched the 4th, I observed during a long travel move it seems to be in two stages, move - a pause for milliseconds - finish move. so the pause is the switch from stealthchop to spreadcyle? On a number of travel moves is when the layer shift happens (missing steps?) but in all G1 X, Y moves, direction changes, speed changes or acceleration/decelerations there is a distinct sound that I can only describe as micro bangs / thuds that has only become apparent with increasing speeds. Im only talking 180mm/s on no print moves and 60-100 on print moves. For clarity ive been using PA at .05 or 0.6 (don't know if that's a factor to consider)
Last night I tried a number of things, raising / lower motor currents and reducing jerk and accelerations none of which made any noticeable difference.
M569 P0.0 S0 V0 and M569 P0.1 S0 V0 as I understand it V0 will auto switch (inf) but im still not understanding the config description, in my head it would seem to remove the feature from the equation is the best option and force the driver to stay in spreadcycle taking the headache away but for the life of me have no clue how to do that. Making V4000 just screws stallguard senseless homing up and V100 is telephone numbers fast.
Can somebody help me understand how, why, when and where the change overs happen, how to dial them in and when?
This hard crash / bang causing the layer shift is monumental, 1st one I actually thought the printer fell off the desk on to the floor.
Also connected im convinced is my extruder motor, increasing speeds is causing a lot "clicking" all of the time but im not seeing missing extrusion ( again quite loud and very annoying) StealthChop / SpreadCycle switching again??mini 5 / sbc 3.3b2

Would it be a more predictable solution to only use stealthchop while homing and use spreadcycle all other times??
Has anyone actually successfully configured up 2209 drivers / motors to run well?
-
seems as if the options are limited to stealth ON for homing only, then spreadcycle for all other.
Getting the code right for this appears to be the challenge now.
Wish I had the answer for ya buddy ... ANybody ? Bueller ?

So ive tried some more this evening, thought I had made some progress but still not great. I checked M569 P0.0 S0 V50
M569 P0.1 S0 V50 at 75mm/s for my motors to fall into line with my homing speed of 66.6mm/s, I can't say whether the bangs or what im calling micro bangs / thuds are still there as it sounds worse everywhere else... Thought's, help?X Axis

@carcamerarig could part of the issue be related to this:

Thanks for the link and trying to lend an assist. Myself and a few others are trying to get our heads around this issue with the OP. I have a new build that will use the Mini as well, and our friends with the 3H full board is lending a hand - but we just cant seem to get things working as they should.
Homing is sorted ... however; after we take him out of stealthchop via M569 D2 parameter after homing- hes still missing steps and getting layer shifts in very easy prints - no major torque stress - no blobs - not nozzle impacts - just infill moves.
There really has to be a better way to tune these .9* motors and these drivers - this nonsense has been going on for days now ...

I've tried helping @carcamerarig on this issue, maybe I can give my take on what's going on. We believe we have homing with stallguard figured out, but that's not the main issue.
The issue is during fast moves, the printer will stutter causing a thump sound, resulting in a layer shift. The nozzle is not hitting the print or other obstruction.
I thought originally this may be caused by the switchover from stealtchop to spreadcyce. However forcing the machine into spreadcycle after homing did not alleviate the issue during a print. @carcamerarig Can you post a link to the video showing the problem?
-
@ctilley79 @carcamerarig does it still do the thump with mesh bed levelling disabled? Could be a slow Z axis movement is stopping X Y movement.

@droftarts He has a prusa type machine similar to mine and mine doesn't behave like this. We both have similar acceleration and jerk settings for Z although he does keep his Z in StealthChop full time. The only ohter difference is my machines are Duet WiFis.
-
Duet WifI = TMC2660
Duet 3 Mini = TMC22090.9 motors + TMC2209 are difficult to set up. Our Marlin neighbours are having similar difficulties with 0.9 motors, TMC2209 and StealthChop.
Imo it's not worth the hustle. Use 1.8 motors, set V to 0 (no hybrid mode) and happy printing.
-
@carcamerarig Still doesn't work for me.
-
@argo we've switched entirely to spreadcycle and the issue remains.

Why cant this board be easily tuned and configured to run with .9* motors while other - cheaper alternatives and lessor developed FW can?
This really shouldn't be this difficult. Perhaps 2209 drivers werent the best selection for the Duet mini boards ?
-
@dc42 Could you, or task somebody to do it, create a step by step guide from start to finish for this ( configuring then printing ) an idiots guide that a monkey could follow please. I'll pay for it to be done if you can organise it.
-
@carcamerarig A method that doesn't require an oscilloscope would be nice.
-
Acknowledgement of a potential issue and a working fix would be nicer.
There seems to be issues around he spectrum of users with the TMC2209's and .9* stepper motors.
That being the case I dont at all see the attraction to these 2209 drivers ... All this for sensorless homing ?
-
@sputnikoc3d
No. Sensorless homing is working fine while homing. He's only in StealthChop for homing currently. We switch back to SpreadCycle after homing. He's having the thumping/banging issues in SpreadCycle as well which is bizarre. SpreadCycle normally doesn't require tuning for it to operate on a variety of different motors. You might get more noise with different brands, but the stutters and resulting in layer shifts with SpreadCycle is stumping me. I don't see why the 2209 in SpreadCycle mode should vary among the different Trinamic chips regardless whether it's a 2660, 2209, 2208, or 5160. -
@droftarts - have any other insights to this issue ... any known successful configurations ?
Missing steps in SpreadCycle on very easy print geometry and conservative travel speed moves/settings.
Eliminated MANY potential aspects - but its starting to seem that these 2209's just dont like to play nice with LDO .9* motors
