motor not moving

@zecreton It says on this page, under the 'Encoder Extension Cable Connection' table: https://www.omc-stepperonline.com/ts-series-12-0-nm-1699-68oz-in-1-axis-closed-loop-stepper-cnc-kit-nema-34-motor-driver-1-cl86t-s120-v41

PLEASE NOTE: The thick black wire can be used for shielding, but it is not required, so you can leave it unconnected.

I really don't know why this isn't working for you. Do you have an oscilloscope, so you can check the output from the 6XD? Can you set the driver up with an Arduino to test it? There are tutorials around to do this quite simply, for example https://youtu.be/FggSRQqB_a4

@droftarts hey, i tested the mainboard and it works, but i hit the erase jumper and now the firmware is gone, and when i try to reinstall it with bossa, it says the file doesn't exist

[droftarts]

@zecreton what file doesn’t exist?

Use file “Duet3Firmware_MB6XD.bin” from https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/releases/tag/3.5.2 in Bossa.

Ian

[zecreton]

@droftarts yes i am selecting it and when i press write, that's when it says it

[Phaedrux]

Did your browser rename the file extension or something?

screen shot?

@zecreton Maybe Bossa can't cope with the é in Téléchargements. Try moving the .bin file to a folder without accents.

Also make sure to tick 'Erase all', 'Lock' and 'Boot to flash.

You can try the command line bossac as well.

[zecreton]

@Phaedrux that made another error "you do not have permission" when i tried to transfer the file

[Phaedrux]

Are you running with admin rights?

[zecreton]

@Phaedrux yes

[droftarts]

@zecreton what are you doing when it says you don’t have permission? Moving the file to a different folder? Is do, where are you trying to move it to? Or trying to flash the firmware?

Ian

[zecreton]

@droftarts i just changed it to a different folder and it worked, but for the webcontrol file it says that the file exceeds flash size

[droftarts]

@zecreton so what is the capacity of ithe SD card? Often they are formatted for both standalone mode, and SBC mode, which can take up a lot of the space. If you aren’t using SBC mode (ie with an attached Raspberry Pi) then you can copy your config files off the SD card, reformat to use the full card size, then copy the config back on. See https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/RepRapFirmware/SD_card#formatting

Ian

[zecreton]

@droftarts the SD card is 16GB

[zecreton]

@droftarts how to copy the SD files?

[zecreton]

@droftarts hello?

[droftarts]

@zecreton Can you put the SD card in your computer? That's the easiest way to check the capacity, copy files off and format it. If you have managed to flash the firmware and can access DWC, you can also download files by highlighting all of them, right clicking and selecting 'Download as ZIP'.

It may say '16GB' on the SD card, but they can be formatted into smaller sections. If you have access to DWC, send M39 and post the response. I expect the partition on the SD card is full.

Ian

[zecreton]

@droftarts i don<t have an sd card slot and i can<t access DWC

[droftarts]

@zecreton For reading the SD card on your PC, get a Micro SD card to USB adapter from Amazon or other shop, eg https://www.amazon.co.uk/Integral-Micro-Card-Reader-USB/dp/B001JPPQS6

@zecreton said in motor not moving:

but for the webcontrol file it says that the file exceeds flash size

I may have misunderstood what you were trying to do. Did you try to flash the 'webcontrol file' to the 6XD using Bossa? Only the firmware file is flashed to the 6XD, which you already did. The webcontrol files go on the SD card. Is the 6XD working again now? If not, because you sent the 'webcontrol file' to it, re-flash with the 'Duet3Firmware_MB6XD. If it is working, DWC should still be on the SD card, and you should be able to connect to it again, same as before you erased the firmware.
