External coordinates with Duet 3
-
Hi, I'm trying to synchronise extrusion for a 3D printing tool run through a Duet 3 6HC mainboard with the movement of an external system.
I can get the live X, Y and Z coordinates of the system and I'm trying to find a way to have the board interpret these as the position of the stepper motors as it executes gcode. The easiest way would be to stream to coordinates to the duet (it's set up to a raspi so has wifi access) but I'm open to any other ideas?

@j-mas1 is the external system (like a robot arm) capable of interpreting the gcode with an E position and sending that to the duet? If you are trying to run the same file on two controllers and have them sync movement based on reported position then that will run into loads of issues from a latency perspective. An alternative could be to pass the required XYZ positions from the Duet to the controller of the external system?
