Duet3D 1HCL - Closed Loop Controller Beta test

[alankilian]

@maxgyver said in Duet3D 1HCL - Closed Loop Controller Beta test:

In closed loop mode, my motor sound is kind of "wobbly", like it is slightly accelerating and decelerating on every turn. The "wobbly" sound becomes more noticeable with increasing speed.

That sounds just like what I measured using a commercial external closed-loop stepper controller in THIS thread.

[CNCModeller]

@alankilian that language is consistent with my understanding too, although the encoder and reference material I use has lines = pulses, and counts = changes.

So a 600ppr encoder has 2400cpr.

Same principles all the same.

@t3p3tony I have my firmware updated on both the 6HC and the tool board, I type in command M122 B50 and I get:

@supertb1 worth a shot

[lirwin17]

Hi @supertb1,

Sorry, I'm not 100% clear on the actual issue here. Thanks for providing your M122 output, from tuning error: 0x1f, it seems like no runtime tuning has happened. Similar to when an axis is un-homed, a driver that is untuned will not move, so if the issue is that the axis isn't moving then that would be the expected behaviour in this instance.
However, if you have run tuning, there is a deeper issue here.

Details of tuning can be found on this page. Specifically, the two 'what do I need to do?' sections (1, 2) are compulsory before the system will move (eventually these should be part of the online config tool, but not just yet for the beta test)

If you weren't aware of this page in the docs, that's really useful for us to know because it tells us we need to draw more attention to that page

Thanks!
Louis
