No tools are showing in DWC - noob

Nvigr8 · 1 Apr 2022, 19:31

Hello all. I am replacing the board on an old 3D printer with a Duet 2 Wifi and PanelDue 5i. I am very much a noob in regards to coding and working with RRF and DWC. I'm hoping someone here can help me through this. I'm having lots of issues at the moment getting this thing up and running:

No tools are showing in DWC even though I set them up in the online configurator.
When homing the Y axis, it only moves about an inch.
Trying to use the old optical filament runout sensors connected to E0 and E1 endstops but not sure how to setup the config file for them. Since there are no tools showing in DWC nothing regarding the extruder is workingtopconfig.g .

There will be more issues I'm sure, but I'd like to get the #1 solved first.

Steps taken:
Updated all board firmware to current.
Created configuration zip file with online configurator and uploaded via DWC to the system folder.
Refreshed in DWC and on the web browser.
Rebooted machine.
Tried flashing a premade configuration for and Ender 3 just to see if the tools would show up - didn't work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks!

@nvigr8 For the Y axiz, check with M119 to see of the endstop is configured correctly, the slight movement usually means the enstop is already triggered.

For the config.g, use the </> above the messgage box to post it.

Nvigr8 · 4 Jan 2022, 17:52

@stephen6309 Thanks for the reply.
If the Y endstop is already triggered, it would show a red light next to the motor plug on the board correct? That isn't happening when I try to home the Y axis.

Apologies, I don't understand what you mean with posting the config.g file. I just edited the post and copy/pasted it in at the bottom.

Stephen6309 · 1 Apr 2022, 18:06

@nvigr8 For the endstop, sending M119 will show the current status. It needs to show triggered only when the switch is depressed. The led will bo one when the switch is closed, but that may not mean it's triggered.

Right above the edit box when posting a message, there is a tool bar, the </> is the 5th one. Hovering over them shows what they do.

Nvigr8 · 4 Jan 2022, 18:05

@stephen6309 Thanks. I tried selecting all the lines from the config.g that I pased and clicking on the icon you mentioned. When I hit submit after, there's an error at the bottom right of the screen saying its read as spam...

Stephen6309 · 4 Jan 2022, 18:09

@nvigr8 When using the </>, click on that first and the location to copy to is already highlighted, all you need to do is ctrl-v.

Phaedrux · 4 Jan 2022, 19:09

Can you send M122 and M98 P"config.g" in the Gcode console in DWC and post the results?

Nvigr8 · 4 Jan 2022, 19:32

@stephen6309 Thank you for explaining. Got it now.

Nvigr8 · 4 Jan 2022, 19:33

@phaedrux As soon as I get home from work I will do that. Thank you.

Nvigr8 · 1 May 2022, 00:17

@stephen6309 I sent M119 and it says the x and y endstops are tripped but nothing is physically touching and activating the switches.

@phaedrux This is what M122 shows.

Can you also check the settings tab in DWC and verify the version matches 3.3

Nvigr8 · 5 Jan 2022, 00:10

@phaedrux I didn't see a settings tab but these are from elsewhere in DWC:

Nvigr8 · 5 Jan 2022, 00:16

@phaedrux Ok made the changes to the tool section and now they are showing up in DWC and on the PanelDue. Thank you very much!

However when I touch the heater 1 icon I get : Error Temperature reading fault on heater 1: sensor open circuit

I double checked the wiring and the thermistors are connected to E0 temp and E1 temp.

One thing to note and I'm not certain this is an issue, I have a breakout board on the extruder body for all the wiring so that I can just plug one 25pin plug into it to swap out extruders. I've double checked the wiring to make sure everything is going where it should.

Thanks again for your help on this!

Nvigr8 · 5 Jan 2022, 00:25

@phaedrux Odd, its now showing two extruders in tool 1 with two heaters and a third heater in tool 2.

Do you have a wiring diagram for this board?

I would suggest testing the wiring direct to remove the breakout board from the equation. It may be sharing a negative ground connection that the duet uses to switch the heater.

Nvigr8 · 1 May 2022, 03:56

@phaedrux To what do I set the active and standby temps? Would you please explain them?

I wired in an extra thermistor directly to the board and did not get the error this time. It reads a normal temp on DWC but on the PanelDue it still reads a crazy number. Also even though I don't have a heated bed in the configuration, it shows one on the Panel Due.

I'll have to draw a diagram for you tonight or tomorrow. I would really like to be able to use this breakout board setup. I have three different extruder assemblies that I will be switching between and it will make the switch so much easier.

Thanks for your help.

Phaedrux · 5 Jan 2022, 04:01

You probably need to update your paneldue firmware

Normally they would be set by your slicer.

Nvigr8 · 1 May 2022, 20:05

@phaedrux This is the breakout board that I'm using:

Here is a diagram:

Note: This assembly does not thave E1 and accessories. Connections are there for another two extruder assembly.

Here is the corresponding plug pins:

Pic of the whole assembly:

One thing that just occured to me, does soldering thermistor wires cause problems?

Thanks.
