Jerky movement problem
-
If the carriage starts to move diagonally on a CoreXY, that would indicate a problem with just one motor. I've just tried moving at F360 on my CoreXY and it works fine (same firmware). My speed, and accel settings settings are a little different but not significantly and my steps per mm are identical. My motor current is a little higher at 1800mA but my moving mass in Y is 4Kg.
With motors off (M84) do the axes moves freely by hand? No sign of anything sticking or binding? Any loose or bad connections in the motor wiring?

@dc42, I'm at work, I will send it to you tonigh.
@deckingman, yes i can freely move it by hand with motor off. Nothing is sticking or binding. Motor connections seems to be ok .

Nothing obvious is leaping out at me from that config.g. Comparing yours with mine the only real difference is that your motor directions are mostly the opposite to mine but that doesn't mean anything as it depends on the individual motors. If everything moves correctly at 3600mm/min then the motor direction must be correct. Which brings me back to something mechanical or wiring, rather than configuration. Are the pulleys all tight on the motor shafts? Nothing slipping?

All is working well with my RAMPS board so i think it's not a mechanical or wiring problem .
I will check it twice tonight … -
Try doing diagonal moves at F360 and see if the movement is jerky in one of both diagonal directions. That may pin the problem down to a single driver/cable/motor.

Thank you dc42, I set G91 then …
... with A motor on X driver, B motor on Y driver :
G1 X-20 Y20 F360 => smooth (only B motor moves)
G1 X20 Y20 F360 => jerky (A motor "try" to moves)... with A motor on Y driver, B motor on X driver :
G1 X-20 Y20 F360 => smooth (only A motor moves)
G1 X20 Y20 F360 => jerky (B motor "try" to moves)It's probably a X driver problem, no ?
This is already a replacement. The first one having the same problem but with Z driver !
I will recontact Roland ... i'm a bit dissapointed ... Fortunately they have quickly treat the problem the first time. Hope this will be as quickly this time. More than 2 weeks without 3d printer, it's hard
Thank you all for your help.

I'm sorry you seem to have received a board with a faulty driver again. We have recently changed our test procedure to stress the drivers more, so will hopefully weed out more weak drivers during testing. It sounds as though we should do a low speed test too, as the problem you encountered didn't appear at higher speeds.

Ok, these are things that happen!
I'm happy to contribute to have better Duet board

Hi David
I received my new board a week ago and it's working like a charm.
I want to thank Roland from Think3dPrint3d for the great customer service and you, David, for your rapid and efficient help to find and solve my problem.
The duetEthernet is a really good controller and i'm now fully convince to have make the right choice.
Thank you all and have a merry christmas and a happy new year !
Johann
