Duet 2 WiFi Voron 2.4 - Multiple Z endstops query

droftarts

@Chaos3d Try configuring each endstop individually and testing them. It may be one is wired incorrectly. eg send

M574 Z2 S1 P"!exp.4"

And test that one endstop, then do the same for !exp.9, !exp.14 and !exp.19. I don't think the endstop logic is switched (ie remove the !), but it might be.

So I've now tried every combination of all the pin names and the only pin names that have any response are the Duex.eXstop versions the exp.4 /9 /14/19 have no response, duex.cs6/7/8 or exp.eXstop variations have no response in the interface at all on the endstop screen, all have been tested individually with and without the ! and none work

i dont understand why the pin names just dont work, it makes no sense

if I run the M571 command from the console whilst the endstop is configured as exp.4/9 etc i get:

m571
Extrusion ancillary PWM has no pin

@Chaos3d unfortunately the pin name aliases listed by @droftarts are not correct. In particular the duex.estop pins are routed through the I2C expander on the DueX and the expansion pins that are labelled as exp.estop become the CS pins on the DueX daughterboard connector.

So one option is for you to connect the endstop switches to the CS pins on the daughter board connector. But there is no protection on these pins, in particular the maximum input voltage is 3.3V.

@chrishamm could you please do a build of RRF 3.4.6rc1 for Duet 2 with the max pin name length increased to about 55?

chrishamm

@dc42 @Chaos3d Yes, I can build new binaries with that change tomorrow morning.

Wow thank you, that would solve all my issues, you are all stars!!

@Chaos3d Ah! Sorry, my mistake about the pin names. I suppose, when it didn't say 'duex.e2stop' in the response to M574, I should have realised the mapping wasn't correct:

Z: high end switches connected to pins !(exp.e2stop,exp.4) !(exp.e3stop,exp.9,spi.cs6,duex.cs6) !(exp.e4stop,exp.14,spi.cs7,duex.cs7)

@dc42 is this table wrong, then? https://docs.duet3d.com/Duet3D_hardware/Duet_2_family/DueX2_and_DueX5#pin-names

@droftarts yes, the duex.e#stop pins are not aliases for or shared with anything else. Whereas the cs5..cs8 pins are indeed shared with expansion connector pins.

Hey no worries you helped identify the issue so we are good - I'm still learning all this so everything is useful!!

Okay, I'll update the table.

@chrishamm Sorry to pester but did the change go into 3.4.6.rc1? only im seeing the date as last week - or am I looking at the wrong thing?

droftarts

@Chaos3d For a quick workaround, move one of the endstops to the Duet board if there are any available, eg e0stop, which is a shorter name and should get you under the 50 character limit.

@Chaos3d Please try out this v3.4 firmware build for the Duet 2: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LH90R3sbF8BGaFa6T-F-cP40oIsBkET1/view?usp=sharing It has a maximum port length of 60 instead of 50, but be aware I have not tested it yet.

Chaos3d

@chrishamm - That worked like a charm!! - all endstops triggered as expected and gantry is leveled out which was exactly what i was looking for - I will go through the stuff I had working to make sure its still ok but so far all looking good!! many many thanks!

@droftarts ha ha I was just about to try that when I saw @chrishamm has posted an update cheers @droftarts
