@tecno Have you tried removing X, Y and Z from your M906 command, you can't set the current for external drivers.

tecno

Now I did that = still no movement. Error in M98 gone
M98 P"config.g"
HTTP is enabled on port 80
FTP is enabled on port 21
TELNET is enabled on port 23

tecno

Drivers are set to 1/16step and 3.2A

M569 P40.0 S0 R1 T10:10:10:10
M569 P41.0 S0 R1 T10:10:10:10
M569 P42.0 S0 R1 T10:10:10:10

tecno

With my DMM I can measure DIR shifting 4.78V to 0 and see a small shift in Step of 0.048V and EN is 4.78V

tecno

Even tried to shift driver to DM542A No movement on Y axis

tecno

Now all axis are connected to Mini5, only E0 is moving.

@tecno said in The tower motors ..... H E L P:

M569 P0.0 S0
M569 P1.0 S0
M569 P2.0 S0
M569 P3.0 S0 ; physical drive 0.0 goes forwards
M584 X3.0 Y2.0 Z1.0 E0.0

You've got the numbers backwards I think.

The first digit is the board address, the second is the driver number.

Just need to fix speed + acc

tecno

Next is to take one of the DM556´s and open it and see what is going on. Did buy these on Amazon so I need to ask for a refund.

Bah.... 2 weeks past return time = not so good

@tecno you could try disconnecting the Enable input to the external drivers, and see if that causes the motors to lock. Most external drivers use the Enable input to disable the drivers, not to enable them.

tecno

@dc42
Now the drivers are out for repair and I am now concentrating to get printer to run with Mini5 drivers. Not optimal but will have to do until the DM556 are OK.

tecno

Good news, now my DM556's are repaired and tested. Tomorrow time to get my 1XD's to their job.
