Duet 2 cant get any stepper motor to run

Jukka

Got an old unused Duet2 1.04c and wanted to tinker around a bit.
Thought i can convert my old but running Anet A8 (on ramps) to Duet.

If i connect any stepper and select home it starts moving for 1-2 seconds and than stops and the motor is noisy. Thought i had to swap the wires for phases but thats looks fine - its the same as on my old RAMPS board. Also checked different steppers and wires i have here to see if the motors or wires are broke but its on every stepper+wire i have.

Played around with the currents and steprates but no success the error is always the same:

G28 X
Warning: Driver 2 warning: phase A may be disconnected, phase B may be disconnected

Tested on X Y and Z. Am im doing something stupidly wrong? I basically used config tool and selected Anet A8 as preset. Current config is attached. Steppers on the printer are 42SHDC3025-24B.

Kind regards.

What are the motors rated current? 500ma may be too low.

M906 X500 Y500 Z500 E500 I30

Carefully double check the motor phases and ensure they are wired correctly.

42SHDC3025-24B are rated 900ma and i tried it with the default of 800ma or even 1400ma just for testing.
on the other steppers i tested i aimed for 80% of the current rating.
it just changed how fast the motor stopped but still the same error.

also checked the wiring on every stepper to have both wires of one phase next to each other and not crossed.

Phaedrux

Do you have other motors to test with?

Jukka

Yes, as i wrote, i tested different stepper. for example a 17HS4417L20P1-X2 next to me rated at 1.7A.
Tried them with 1.2A current and the same happens. (checked phases ofc)

If i put the the steppers on my ramps board they are running fine.

I think i play around with it later today again but i currently really think - if i dont did something stupidly wrong - the drivers on the duet are wrong.

Phaedrux

It's possible that the stepper drivers have been damaged.

The motor and cabling works correctly on another board, but not this Duet2, then it could be the driver.

Is it possible the phases were wired incorrectly when you first tried? That could have damaged the driver.

Jukka

Found the issue.
First the warning "phase A may be disconnected" which i was thinking its the motors is caused by not connecting the Z Motor. I only had X and Y connected for testing and saw the homescripts lift Z.

The main issue actually was the endstop switches. I have microswitches which are most likely worn or the cables are broke but they when i just wiggle the table they trigger like 10 times.

After replacing them all runs fine The motor noise i thought was part of the problem is actually the normal idle sound i tweaked with M569 F. I was used to stealthChop from my old 2130 haha

Thanks for the help!
