      Hi,

      I have a Duet v3 mini with a X2 expansion card, for a core xy with 3 indepent Z motors.

      I want to test the motors individually, as I think the motor connecting to a Driver, the 0 does not rotate.... In the tests I did some time ago, 1 month or so, I already realized this. But now that I've finished the mechanical part I want to make sure

      If you run the Gcode G1 H2, you could move the individual engines, but I think if it was a delta... Is there a gcode that allows you to move only the motor connected to a Driver, not to an axis?

      Thx

        You could use M584 to temporarily assign the driver you want to test as one of the existing axis such as X. You'd need to make sure that you have valid settings for M203 M201 M906 etc etc to suit that motor. Then you could do test movements on the X axis and it should move the motor you've assigned in M584.

          @peirof if you send G91 to put the axes in relative mode then you can use G1 H2 moves to test individual motors even on a delta.
