RE: Gcode On the Duet3 Behaving Unpredictably
@T3P3Tony My machine does have the ability to home, but due to the nature of the beast I need to start the embroidery at a point other than machine home, so I just set a relative 0,0 position wherever I need to embroider. Attached a picture for reference.

RE: Hotend Thermistor Issues
Well confirmed, heater cartridge needed to be replaced. Thanks for the help.

@T3P3Tony That did it. Dumb mistake on my part
. Thanks for the assist.

RE: Gcode On the Duet3 Behaving Unpredictably
@T3P3Tony Thats an interesting note about the M30, I'll try removing it (though I kinda doubt its doing much)
I run G92 X0 Y0 Z0 U0 prior to every run, so yeah at the start it should think its at 0,0.
I've attached my config.g

Gcode On the Duet3 Behaving Unpredictably
I'm working on a DIY embroidery machine and I'm using a Duet3 6HC as a controller for the machine.
I've setup inkstitch to use the following stitch command:
G1 X%X Y%Y
M98 P"trigger3.g"Where M98 P"trigger3.g" is:
G1 U5 F1500
G1 H1 U500 F1500
G92 U0What I'm experiencing is very odd. I generate one file, and the machine moves normally. I generate another file, the gcode looks very similar, but the machine only moves in the Y axis. I've attached two of the gcode files in question.
V13 works as expected, V26 does not
TextTestV13.gcode TextTest26.gcodeI'm not really sure if this is a problem on the Duet side or the Inkstitch side.

RE: Hotend Thermistor Issues
@phaedrux nope, will try replacing the heater tomorrow and see if that solves it
-
RE: Hotend Thermistor Issues
@phaedrux Yes the hotend heater screw terminals.
I'm not actually sitting at it right this second but earlier I actually measured between E0- and GND, which showed ~24V when off, ~0V when the heater is on. So the FET seems to be working fine. Some kind of configuration error then maybe? I guess potentially the heater cartridge could be toast.

Hotend Thermistor Issues
I'm having a problem with my Duet 2 WiFi, it was working though I was getting intermittent heater faults on the hotend. I thought that maybe this was due to a flaky connection (I had leads soldered right to the board because the screw terminal had fallen off) so I ended up replacing the screw terminals. Now I see 20 degrees on the dashboard, but when I turn the heater on (LED comes on), I don't see a change in temperature.
I unplugged the thermistor and saw -273.1, measured the resistance of the thermistor at 125 kOhm, saw the resistance decreasing when I held onto the hotend.
My config is attached below:

RE: Odd arc behaviour
I think I ended up narrowing down the issue. My apologies as it seems to have been setting related (I was driving my new NEMA23 way too fast according to the reprap firmware EMF calculator), I backed off the maximum speed and my problem seems to have resolved itself. Thank you all for your suggestions and help.

RE: Odd arc behaviour
@dc42 so just tried it, and it doesn’t seem to have alleviated the issue
