SOLVED Duet 1lc no mesh leveling
-
I've purchased the Duet3 distribution board and 1lc to go with my 6HC for the RatRig vcore3.
I just saw the following:Duet 3 with CAN expansion firmware configuration limitations
Duet 3 with CAN expansion firmware configuration limitations
RepRapFirmware (as at version 3.2.2) for Duet 3 with CAN-connected tool or expansion boards currently has the fo...Due 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 repeated probing with a Z probe (e.g. for mesh bed compensation) is not advisable. This will be fixed in a future release
How will I use these boards, if I can't use them for mesh bed levelling?
Please advice. Maybe I'm missing something or am misinterpreting the statement. -
@jub what this means is that the Z motors should be driven from the 6HC and not from an expansion board. That's all.

As long as the toolboard is running an extruder and not the Z motor, it should have no effect?
I have a CoreXY setup using a 6HC and toolboards; on mine, I've fitted the Z probe on the head carriage itself rather than any specific tool, and wired directly back to the main board.
If you want to be 100% certain of zero latency, just wire the probe direct rather than via the toolboard.

Correct. I have clarified the text at https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Duet_3_firmware_configuration_limitations. My own E3D tool changer has two extruders driven from tool boards.

yes this is how the e3d toolchanger does it right now.

Thanks everyone for the swift replies!
Exactly the answers I needed.
