The 3HC is not being seen any more. It no longer flashes the amber light in time with the 6HC
When I send M115 B1 it just spins forever

The print cooling fan is not working even if I turn the 'TOOL FAN' slider up to 100 and switch polarity of the wires. Maybe it needs to actually be printing for that to come on?
no it does not need to be printing. try connecting the fan directly to +24V and ground to test it works (assuming its a 24V fan).
@charles-fraser said in Large Format Dowell to Duet conversion:
Is it possible to do a PID tuning while extruding because this extruder pushes out so much material it will need a different heating tuning I recon to make it work best.
no - but we do plan to add extrusion look ahead in future versions of the firmware.
@charles-fraser said in Large Format Dowell to Duet conversion:
Also which line is the steps per mm of extruded material please? The Extruder has a 20:1 gear NEMA17 that needs to spin jolly fast to get that screw moving around.
the E value in this:

PS: is there no way to wire the 3D touch to the 3HC? Cables just don’t reach the 6HC
you should connect it to the same board as the Z motors are on for now:
https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Duet_3_firmware_configuration_limitationsDue to CAN latency the motors connected to expansion boards may slightly overshoot the position at which the endstop or Z probe was triggered. This would not usually matter for an endstop switch, but it does mean that if the Z motor(s) is/are connected to an expansion board then repeated probing with a Z probe (e.g. for mesh bed compensation) is not advisable. This will be fixed in a future release

I removed the 3D touch. Still Only the lily hotend shows now. No bed, no temps
when you lose communication with the 3HC then you will lose communication with everything on that board.
Try undoing the changes you made to config.g and then reset everything (without the 3d touch installed). Unless that damaged the board it should all come back up.
-
I undid the changes and unplugged the 3D touch and it still does not work. How can even wiring up one io wrong fry the whole board?
I noticed, before all this crashed, the print cooling fan was spinning but hardly getting going then stopping again.

unplug this as well - the power cycle the power to both the 6HC and the 3HC. Run M98 P"0:sys/config.g" to verify the changes are undone.
-
Nothing is happening when I do any commands anymore. It just spins around and around. All things added are disconnected now. The 3HC doesnt blink anymore
-
@charles-fraser can you still access the network interface? in that case send M122

@charles-fraser and after doing the following:
Power cycle the 3HC
send M98 P"0:sys/config.g"
Send M122 B1 -
I’ve done that and nothing. When I send those commands the DWC gets stuck in the spinning wheel of death. There is no blinking light on the 3HC
-
@charles-fraser it sounds like that 3d touch has caused an issues (or resurfaced an issue from the previous heater problems) with the 3HC. I remember you had issues with it right at the beginning - is this a new 3d touch or your original one?
We previously reset and reflashed the firmware on the 3HC. I think that's the step to take again now:
To force a firmware reload on the 3HC set all the dip switched to 0, power cycle the 3HC, you should see the diag light flash a bit. when its showing steady flashing in sync with the mainboard, switch the dip switch back to 1 as it was then power cycle the 3HC.
-
I have done that and still no flashing light
Also this is the same 3D touch as before. Now I remove it but still the 3HC doesnt flash. Before when I removed it the 3HC started working again. There is nothing on the board and it’s not working

Any help? Is it fried? I can't believe it fries just because of a short that doesn't make sense to me
-
Is the 3.3v LED lit on the 3HC? (its with the other power LEDS in the top left og the board as you have it oriented.

None of this is plugged in any more. I explained this in my post with the description of the wiring of the 3D touch above. Please have a look.

@T3P3Tony this explains the wiring
@charles-fraser said in Large Format Dowell to Duet conversion:
I’m sorry it’s a bit of a fudge but I have only been able to get the 3D touch wired up (I hope correctly) with the 3HC, IO_2
Here is what the wiring from the touch is supposed to be:
But the 3D touch I have does not have a white wire, it has a blue wire though so I am guessing that’s the only difference.
I have to connect the BL touch to two different cables, each with four wires in them to reach the board at the other end of the printer. In one of the cables, two of the wires are already used by the NTC thermistor so it looks like this:
Then I can only reach IO_2 on the 3H with all that following this diagram:
Which looks like this:
I hope that’s correct! I’ll try to change the code and hope it works!

Hi please advise. Do I need to buy a new board or what to keep things moving forwards?
