loss of step external driver duet 1XD

tom33

I have a loss of steps on my prints.
I use duet 3 with expansion 1XD and leadshine CS-D508 on the firmware 3.2 (I can't move the motor with firmware 3.3 RC3

There is a loss of steps during the prints on X and Y axis.
Leadshine tell me this is the pulse configuration but I don't know what I have to change.

config :
M569 P10.0 S0 R0 T2.5:2.5:5:0 ; Drive 10.0 X change enable polarity, active = disable drive
M569 P20.0 S0 R0 T2.5:2.5:5:0 ; Drive 20.0 Y Attention Vérifier VAleur T data sheet driver moteur
M569 P30.0 S0 R0 T2.5:2.5:5:0 ; Drive 30.0 Z

Thanks !

@tom33 I suggest you concentrate on getting it working using the latest 3.3RC build. You can find the files here https://www.dropbox.com/sh/nmpsl9a3jfsumm5/AAA6adSjEcd1AM_j5_tVberGa?dl=0.

@dc42

I use this thread for this problem (https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/23731/firmware-bundle-3-3-0-released/20?_=1624282758108)

In the M122 B10 in the line CAN messages there is 131 messages lost maybe that create the wrong direction of the motor ?

Yes that's certainly a problem; but so is this:

Last reset 00:02:00 ago, cause: software
Last software reset time unknown, reason: HardFault, available RAM 2372, slot 0

It indicates that the board reset due to an error 2 minutes before you ran the M122 command. I will look into it.

dc42

@tom33 I would like to investigate that Hard Fault reset first. It might be recent, or a very old one. So please do the following:

Send:

M122 B10 P1005

This will cause the 1XD board to reset.

If you then send M122 B10 it should display the time of the software reset and also flag it as "deliberate HardFault".
Reset the main board so that it reconfigures the 1XD board.
Run your test again
Run M122 and M122 B10 again, and post the results here.

@tom33 thanks.

It looks like that original hard fault report was an old one generated from a previous version of the firmware, so we can discount it.

What I see from the M122 log was that the 1XD board received CAN commands faster than it could process them. As a result, some commands were lost and others were executed much later than they should have been. There are a number of factors contributing to this:

You are using a high XY steps/mm i.e. 32 instead of the more common values of 80 to 200. This increases the amount of processor time used to generate step pulses. I suggest you reconfigure the closed loop drivers to use a lower steps/mm.
You are using quite long M569 timings for the driver, i.e. T6:3:6:1. This will also slow down the processor a little (less in firmware 3.3 than in previous versions). The Leadshine drivers should be OK with T2.5:2.5:5:0.
I suspect that the file you are testing with uses lots of short moves. Please share that file so that I can analyse it.

tom33

@dc42 I try reduce the step/mm by reducing the resolution of the stepper driver. (My actual step/mm is 160)

I try this parameters but the motor doesn't move. I need to use 3.5 minimum for the first T value (T3.5:2.5:5:0)

Yes the file is a succession of very short move for some testing X1.gcode

tom33

@dc42 the thing I don't understand is, Now I'm using 3.3 RC+6 and I have no problem but with 3.3 release I have the problem...
Something have changed between both ?

dc42

@tom33 are you using 3.3RC3+6 on both boards, or just one of them? If you are using RC3+6 on both of then, please try upgrading just the 1XD firmware to 3.3 stable, or just the main board firmware to 3.3 stable. If there has been a regression between 3.3RC3+6 and 3.3 stable then it would be helpful to know which firmware it is in. The CAN protocol hasn't changed between 3.3RC3+6 and 3.3 stable, so those versions will talk to each other over CAN.

tom33

@dc42

I try :
1XD : 3.3.0 Main board 3.3.0 Result loss of step / communication
1XD : 3.3 RC+6 Main board 3.3.0 Result : Result loss of step / communication
1XD : 3.3 RC+6 Main board 3.3 RC+6 Result Ok
1XD : 3.3.0 Main board 3.3 RC+6 Result Ok

tom33

@dc42 that helped you ?

dc42

@tom33 thanks, so it's a change in the ~~1XD~~ main board firmware between 3.3RC3+6 and 3.3 stable that has caused the issue. That tells me where to look.

dc42

@tom33 I am working on tracking down and fixing this issue today. Until I have a fix, I suggest you use the combination of RRF 3.3RC3+6 on the main board and 3.3 on the 1XD boards.

dc42

@tom33 this is now fixed in RRF 3.4.0alpha which is available at https://www.dropbox.com/sh/cpwzsx0lrofa7r3/AABllKZQrgJThEvuMog0n4vWa?dl=0. It's compatible with firmware 3.3 stable on 1XD and other expansion boards. It's an alpha build because we don't yet have an official 3.4beta, but the changes since 3.3 are minor. See https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/wiki/Changelog-RRF-3.x-Beta-&-RC#reprapfirmware-34alpha.

We will probably do a 3.3.1 release including this fix.
