Let me rephrase that.
It came back with "Packets sent 4, Received =0, Lost =4 (100% loss)

Yes, I had wired them NO. Changed them to NC. They work properly now. It made no difference setting
it active high or low. Strange they would not work in NO mode. The Optical switches where most likely a NPN switch's or NO.

I had all the motors running perfect before I changed the limit switches and now
the Y axis is dragging along, missing steps. This has been a very troublesome build.
The Y axis motor seemed to just short out, just sitting idle. Changed it out with a spare.
Works again.

I am using the micro switch for Z stop, but plan to use a probe what is the correct probe to
use with this board? Do I need to change the set-up to run with a switch for now?

Why do end stops hits still say " Yes " when they are not hit?

These are OMRON EE-SX674A
I have used similar sensors on CNC machines and Automation machines with no issues. Although most are 5v.

After many tries to get this working, I replaced them with Micro Switches.
I have set the command M574 S0 , but when I hit the homing it moves in the opposite direction for about 10 mm.
Is this a default setting? When I looked at the homing codes they look correct? But no Negative movement towards the end stops???

G91 ; relative positioning
G1 Z5 F6000 S2 ; lift Z relative to current position
G1 S1 X-365 F1800 ; move quickly to X axis endstop and stop there (first pass)
G1 X5 F6000 ; go back a few mm
G1 S1 X-365 F360 ; move slowly to X axis endstop once more (second pass)
G1 Z-5 F6000 S2 ; lower Z again
G90 ; absolute positioning

Awesome, That was the easy way. My math was way off as well.
16 micro steps x 200 = 3200 / 5 (mm pitch) = 640

Thanks, On to fixing the limit switches.

I have been able to move the X and Y Axis in the correct direction and amount.
The Z axis has the wrong step amount and moves about 25 mm when asked to move 5.
It was set up with 16 micro steps and I have a 5 mm per turn ball screw. Some how my
numbers are not right. Where is this adjusted?

The optical home switches do not trigger anything, set on either active high or active low.
I think they maybe a 5v switch. I measured the output on the old board and it came up to 5v.
These are encased in plastic so is there any way to add a resistor? Or should I replace them?

That is as far as I have gotten.

Thank you,

I will start on this tomorrow as it is late here now.

I hard wired all the motors, five in all two extruder motors. Optical limit switches and heaters ect.
I also have a Panel Duet 5i. I get no response from the panel, but I guess that is because I have not configured
and uploaded the new parameters. Still new to setting this up so should the old Config.g file be saved before
loading a new one?

@AMPMAKER said in Cannot connect to DWC Simple fix??:

Send M552 S0, then send M552 P192.168.1.xx, then send M552 S1. You should then be able to connect DWC. In DWC go to the System editor and edit the M552 command in config.g to have that IP address.

Maybe the lingo was not correct..sorry

Has any one done a conversion of this printer?
I am converting it because the Aurora printer has enclosed print space and a
Large Z axis ball screw. The board and screen are garbage in it.

I have done all the hard wire conversion, and when testing the homing I get no response.
No stepper movement. How do I go about config the new parameters?

Mark

Thanks to all that helped get us connected. Configuring the access was the final answer to
getting connected. Now I can turn on the Duet board and it will find our wifi.
Now on to the next hurdle, to actually configure the setting to this printer.
When I re-load the config.g to the board with the new setting will this stage of connection be lost.

Maybe this should go to a new discussion.
