Additional stepper drivers on Duex 5
-
Hi, can I connect two additional external stepper drivers if I am already using a Duex 5 expansion board? I have read that I could use the CONN_LCD connector pins? Is there a description for that somwhere?
Thanks

Okay, finally got the drivers from oriental but I am not sure about the nomenclature:
-
Attempting to connect via Conn_LCD I think I should connect the following pins (assuming Duet uses a "current sink output design" and gives "1 puls signals" as they call it in the oriental manual) :
Conn_LCD to Oriental CRD5114P (see image above)
pin 10 ) Step11 to be connected to pin 1) PLS+
pin 2 ) GND to be connected to pin 2) PLS-
pin 8 ) DIR11 to be connected to pin 3) DIR+
pin 2 ) GND to be connected to pin 4) DIR-
pin 6 ) EN11 to be connected to nothing?
pin 4 ) Stop11 to be connected to no clue!thx

You could also connect AWOFF+ to EN and AWOFF- to ground.
Two points to note:
-
The CONN_LCD connector provides 3.3V signals with low current drive. That may not be sufficient. You can use a 74HCT367 or similar chip to boost the signals to 5V.
-
You will need to extend the step pulse timing for that driver in the M569 command.

74HCT367
Alright - thanks a lot, especially for the tip of timing!
I wouldnt know how to connect such an IC chip so I will try with 3.3 V first, lets see - I can post it here if 3.3v work with that driver. -
For a 74HCT365 or 74HCT367 (either will do) in 16-pin DIL package:
Pins 1,8,15 - ground
Pin 16 - +5V
Pins 2,4,6,10,12,14 - inputs from CONN_LCD
Pins 3,5,7,9,11,13 - +outputs to stepper driver +input pins (connect the -input pins of the stepper driver to ground)Also connect a 0.1uf capacitor between pin 16 and ground.
A few stepper drivers have a common +input pin. For those, use a 74HCT366 or 74HCT368 instead, connect the driver -input pins to the outputs of the chip (pins 3,5 etc.), and connect the common +input of the driver to +5V.
Take great care not to short +5V to any of the other pins on CONN_LCD.

Dear David, using the Oriental Motor Driver CRD5114P in combination with the five phase Motor PKP569FN2482 I can report that it seems to be working nicely using 3.3V signal as provided by the DuetWifi LCD_Conn Header.

@dc42 pls help me connect driver 11 of duet 2 wifi with HBS57 driver, i have 2 driver HBS57 and conect with driver 10 and 11 on CONN_LCD.
Pin 9) Stp 10 with PUL+ of driver HBS number 1
Pin 7) Dir 10 with DIR+ of driver HBS nunber 1
Pin 5) En 10
Pin 3) Stop 10
Pin 1) 3.3v
Pin 10) Stp 11 with PUL+ of driver HBS number 2
Pin Dir 11 with DIR+ of driver HBS number 2
Pin 6) En 11
Pin 4) Stop 11
Pin 2) GND with PUL-, DIR- of driver HBS number 10 and 11
But only driver 1 work, driver 2 not work.
I try swap driver 1 to driver 2 but not work on driver connect with Stp 11 and Dir 11 -
@mmofree probably best to start a new thread with the config you are using.
