Tool not showing on DWC

[resh]

The extruder is plugged into E0 but it's not showing in DWC. I don't remember changing anything for this.

Hi,

I'm confused by your config.g file.

In your M569 commands you have drives 0, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.

The file says you are using a Duet WiFi.

The Duet WiFi doesn't have drive 6.

Are you actually using a Duet WiFi/Duex 5 combo?

That's the kind of information that is helpful for us to know.

In your M584 command you don't have an E setting so I don't think the tool has an extruder to reference thus the lack of display.

You can always check your config.g to see if the firmware reports anything wrong by executing, from the DWC console, M98 P"config.g".

@fcwilt Thanks for the response, Frederick. I have a duex5 but failed to mention that, apologies. I added E0 to M584 and the tool is showing up correctly.

When I enter M98 P"config.g" into the DWC console I get 'Warning: Macro file config.g not found'. Correcting this sounds like it would be helpful for future issues.

I don't know why that would be. I'm using firmware 3.2.2 and that M98 command executes config.g as expected.

You sure you typed the filename correct?

@fcwilt When I type M98 P"config.g" into the console box and hit send I get that message. I copy/pasted and got the same thing.

I spoke too soon about that tool working. When I go to retract the entire X axis moves. I put in this line and it moved left. G1 E-20 F300

I figured that should retract 20mm of filament at 300, instead the entire extruder moves left.

Is your config.g file is in the System folder?

Post your current config.g file again and let me take a closer look.

@fcwilt Changed E0 to E3, I got confused on the numbers but it's working now.

In the system tab my config folder is labeled "config.g.bak". There isn't anything with just config.g

Curious. I wonder how the board can boot without a config.g file.

Perhaps it is in another folder and the board finds it there, somehow.

Check your Macro folder.

Curious. I wonder how the board can boot without a config.g file.

If no config.g file is found, then the RRF will use the config.g.bak

I've been using Duets for several years and that fact escaped me.

Thanks very much.

@siam Will this cause a problem somewhere down the line? I probably did something at some point and made that folder vanish.

Well you can do one of the following:

• rename config.g.bak to config.g
• create a new config.g and copy the contents of config.g.bak into it.

Frederick

[Phaedrux]

After renaming config.g please send M98 P"config.g" again.
Also send M122 and report the results of that.
