Tevo black widow compatibility
-
Hi, im looking forward to upgrade my Tevo Black Widow with a Duet Wifi, but before that i just want to ensure what i will need to make work,
Will it be just "plug & play" or i will need to make some configurations?Printers PSU outputs 24V, and it powers up 2x 12cm fans for the electronics case, 1x extruder E3d with its own fan & 2 blowers, the current main board and one mosfet for the bed.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/lzvn3xznh005hlr/Photo%2026-02-17%2014%2030%2012.jpg?dl=0My questions are:
1. will it work with the stock endstop sensor
2. with stock motors
3. with the mosfet
4. with the display controller with the SD card reader (i know that Duet has micro SD slot on it but wonder if i can use the current SD card reader of the display controller or to extend the duet SD card reader cause it doesn't seems to be practical for easy access).
5. ?maybe i forgot somethingI understand after installing the duet board i will need to calibrate the hotend, feeder, all axis and etc. but what about the firmware?
If anyone has already use it on a Black Widow let me know by sharing a few tips and the experience through the installation and after.
Thank you in advance

1. Yes, use diodes as described here - https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Connecting_a_Z_probe#Section_NPN_output_normally_open_inductive_or_capacitive_sensor
2. Yes, stock motors work fine.
3. You can use the mosfet if you want, but it's not needed.
4. The stock display will not work with Duet unless you do the code for it yourself, the web interface (DWC) is very nice and works on tablets as well.
5. Duet has (3) PWM fan headers and (2) always on fan headersYou will need to set the firmware up yourself. I have a partially completed config but I've added a real E3D hotend and BLTouch to my Black Widow. All motors are configured so the key on the plug is against the key on the Duet.

I run my Black Widow on a Duet, but never managed to get the stock proximity sensors to play nicely with the Duet, and so am running a set of mechanical limit switches and a BL-Touch.
As TJB1 said, the external mosfet isn't required on the Duet, as the bed current draw is within the capacity of the on board mosfet.
The Duet is also running the stock motors well, and until I got fed up with the noisy fan in the PSU, I was running it on the stock power supply. (I replaced the PSU with a Meanwell SE-600-24 a couple of weeks ago, and while it's not silent, it is quieter, and it stays at one speed instead of erratically ramping up and down.)

Im running it with stock proximity sensors and it works perfect.
No issues what so ever once the connection setup was sorted out to get separate 5v 3,3 wont work. The 5v I took from the expansion slot and sensor signal commes from the normal XY sensor pins.
Its actually were easy once you understand how to do it… 5v is the key here. -
Do you have this working 100% mine is the same and the setting I can't it working. X home Y home Z moves to middle and stops. I updated to new BLTouch setting and it still will not work.
Thank you for your help.
I have 2 rambo boards you can call and they will help. This board is hard.
If is very hard to get help here.
