6XD I/O >> Issue solved

droftarts

Lz mystery? Looks like a loadcell? Just behind toolheads.

If you mean the thing the pokes out looking like a button, it could be a microswitch or pressure switch, or tool offset switch, or limit switch in case of problems. Otherwise, I don't really know.

Edit: or is that the red LED cross target?

@tecno Maybe an inductive probe? ie for creating a mesh of the board if it is warped? This video talks about "automatically correct the offset caused by PCB irregularities". https://youtu.be/eW8JtbPlvKQ?t=29

For wiring, see https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/Connecting_hardware/Z_probe_connecting#npn-output-normally-open-inductive-or-capacitive-sensor
But could be NPN or PNP.

OK, will take on that one later on as I see it is not criticall for now to get this machine up and running.

Thanks once again Ian, I really appreciate your kind help.

So back to the machine and start crimping some connectors.

Now that I have all ports set OK I just found out that Driver 5 is not responding. Earlier test there was a mess on driver numbering so I took it for granted that all motors work.

If I switch wires from Driver 4 to 5 and vice versa the fault follows the cable. Bommer ....

Do you mean if you switch the wires, the motor then stops working on Driver 4? Sounds like a cable issue.

@droftarts

Cable from driver 5 is not working if i use it on motor 4

Cable from driver 4 is working if used on motor 5

So Driver 5 on 6DX is not working.

I'm misunderstanding something. When you say 'driver 5', are you talking about the 'driver 5' connector on the 6XD, or the cable, external driver and motor that is connected to 'driver 5' on the 6XD? ie are you unplugging the cable at the 6XD end, or the external driver end? Ideally, swap the entire cable, external driver and motor (that is working) from 6XD driver 4 connector, to the 6DX driver 5 connector.

Also post your config.g, please, in case it's a config error.

@droftarts

It is the Driver 5 on 6XD that is not working Have changed cables so no cable fault,

@tecno said in 6XD I/O >> Faulty Driver 5:

Have changed cables so no cable fault,

You swapped the cable, external stepper driver and motor from 6XD driver 4, where it was working, to driver 5, where it didn't work? Are axes homed, or position set with G92, before you try to move them? When you send a move command, does the axis value in DWC change? Is any error reported?

Are all the external stepper drivers the same? What make and model are they? You haven't added any stepper driver timings to your M569 commands, ie T parameter, something like M569 P# S0 T5:5:10:10, which is usually needed for external drivers; see https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/Connecting_hardware/Motors_connecting_external#configuring-the-step-timing

Also, on your M584 commands, add S0 to the ones with R0, and S1 to the ones with R1 eg:

M584 X0 R0 S0			; X LIN
M584 Y1 R0 S0			; Y LIN
M584 C2 R0 S0			; RECEIVE MATERIAL

@tecno you changed the S0/S1 in M569, I said to add it to M584.

Please answer these questions:
You swapped the cable, external stepper driver and motor from 6XD driver 4, where it was working, to driver 5, where it didn't work?
When you send a move command, does the axis value in DWC change?
Is any error reported?
Are all the external stepper drivers the same?

Hi Ian,
Will try to get my Swedinglish on track

6DX Chinese driver Chinese motor

Driver 5 ---------------A-------------------------A NO GO
Driver 4 ---------------B-------------------------B WORKING OK

Cable from Driver 4 to Chinese driver A Working OK
Cable from Driver 5 to Chinese driver B NO GO

Switching cables same result

DWC = yes

No errors

External drivers are the same as are motors, rotating nozzles No model on these drivers.

There is a blue LED showing direction, goes on/off changing direction. But not from Driver 5

How can I check ON/OFF on above outputs?

droftarts

@tecno For driver 5 not working:

I think you have swapped those around cables and drivers to show that driver 5 output on the 6XD isn't working correctly. Can you:

check if you are using the enable signal. If you are, disconnect it (most external drivers are enabled by default) and check if it works. If not, check if there is any dip switches on the driver for default enable/disable, and/or set the dip switches the same as the other nozzle driver. Maybe post a picture of any dip switches.
If you have a multimeter, check you are getting 5V on the driver 5 5V pin. Then check for continuity between 5V and the enable pin, and direction pin when a command is sent. Using a multimeter to check if step pulses are sent usually doesn't work, as the step pulses are too fat for a multimeter. If you have an oscilloscope, you can check them that way, though.
If the above still doesn't work, check the soldering of the driver 5 connector on the 6XD, both sides. It may be a dry solder joint or something bridging or grounding the pins. Post photos if you're not sure.

How can I check ON/OFF on above outputs?

Sending 'M43 P0' or 'M280 P0' doesn't report the current PWM setting (@dc42 perhaps it should?) but you can check the current setting in the Object Model. Defined outputs are listed in the Object Model under state > gpOut[#], where # is the GPIO number defined by the M950 command. eg:

M950 P1 C"exp.heater5" ; tested on Duet 2 WiFi
M42 P1 S1
echo state.gpOut[1].pwm
1.00
M42 P1 S0.5
echo state.gpOut[1].pwm
0.50
M42 P1 S0
echo state.gpOut[1].pwm
0.00

So that should let you query them. Or is it that you want to display their status in DWC?
