UVWABCDabcdefghijkl - axis is not showing up

[Aurimas]

@dc42 great - thank you. I will give it a go.

while I got you - am I correct that 3.4 version supports mroe axis than the 3.5?
what the reason to reduce the support?

[dc42]

@Aurimas maximum axes on the 6XD is 15 in 3.4.x and 30 in 3.5.x.

[Aurimas]

@dc42 I am confused.
in the docs it has less axis in 3.5 than it is in 3.4

U, V, W, A, B, Cnnn Driver number(s) for additional axes U, V, W, A, B and C (UVW available in RepRapFirmware 1.16 and later; UVWABC available in RepRapFirmware 1.19 and later; UVWABCD available in RepRapFirmware 3.0 and later; UVWABCDabcdefghijkl available in RepRapFirmware 3.3 and 3.4, Duet 3 MB6HC and MB6XD only; UVWABCDabcdef available in RepRapFirmware 3.5 and later, Duet 3 MB6HC and MB6XD only).

also in the docs says 15 movement axis + 8 extruders I believe. So I assume this part is outdated.

[dc42]

@Aurimas I have corrected the M584 documentation.

Where do the docs specify a limit of 15 axes + 5 extruders?

@dc42 Here: https://docs.duet3d.com/User_manual/RepRapFirmware/RepRapFirmware_overview#firmware-configuration-limits

Is it that there are more axis names available than axes that can be set, ie not all can be used at once?

UVWABCDabcdefghijkl available in RepRapFirmware 3.3 and later

In 3.3 and 3.4, there are 22 axis labels, XYZUVWABCDabcdefghijkl, but a maximum of 15 axes.

additionally mnopqrstuvwxyz are available in RepRapFirmware 3.5 and later on Duet 3 MB6HC and MB6XD only

In 3.5, there are 36 axis labels, XYZUVWABCDabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz, but a maximum of 30 axes.

@dc42 also your correction states 15

The maximum number of axes supported on Duet 3 MB6HC is increased to 15 in RRF 3.3 and later. Axis letters abcdefghijkl may be used in addition to XYZUVWABCD. Because GCode is normally case insensitive, these must be prefixed with a single quote character in GCode commands. For example, M584 'A1.2 would assign axis 'a' to driver 1.2, and G1 'A10 would move the 'a' axis to the 10mm or 10 degree position (or by 10mm or 10 degrees if in relative mode).

@Aurimas thanks. I hadn't noticed that the notes about M584 mentioned the maximum number of axes supported. I have removed that mention and updated the table that @droftarts linked to in his post.

@dc42 thanks.

you probably should update this as well
