@bearer OHYEAH!!! Not enough current! That was the one, this is all the confidence I needed to continue on this journey, thank you! M906 X2400 Y2400 Z2400 I100 did the trick BOOYA , this makes a man so happy, mission accomplished!

Since I'm a very much noob at the moment, what would be the advantage of having an idle current at all? The 100% I took from an Ooznest Workbee cnc example, standard is 30%?

@bearer Thank you, I will now read all of it. I thought I already did once but I guess it just didn't hit home at the time. I'm going to give it another go. Your replies are very much appreciated.
I've looked over the wiring quite long before hooking it up and I was sure I had it all right. I found the pairs and matched the colors with others on the internet but apparently it doesn't do the trick just yet. Now let's see...

@bearer said in Duet 3 cnc, how to start? Make stepper motor turn?:

M564 S0 H0

I DID IT!!! oh well at least a little bit :D, that override made me able to click the Y+50 and it made the stepper motor feel a little vibrating.. it didn't rotate anything but there was a vibration! So something is working.. and something isn't probably as well. It shouldn't just vibrate but actually rotate hmm..

@bearer Thank you, I'll hopefully get to that somewhere this week I'd be delighted if I could get my single stepper motor that is sitting on my desk hooked up to my duet 3 to move... it is my goal for today I reckon, only 10 hours left...

Is that even possible? Say I have my duet 3 with rasberry pi 3b+ , stepper motor nema 23 hooked up to driver port 1... Can I get that to move without hooking anything else up

@bearer Thanks :), that's a lot to go through. Why did I go for the Duet again... for convenience and oh yeah to have a challenge. I think I found it
Was this a bad choice?

(Keeping fingers crossed that whilst I struggle someone whom has done it for a cnc with a duet 3 will just pop in with some great pictures and config files ready for me to make my own.)

Did you manage to make this work at all? If so do you happen to have the config files associated with it for the Duet 3? I'm also trying to get a workbee - like machine (the Lead 1515) to work on the duet 3 but I'm sooo stuck right now, don't know how to begin really.

@Phaedrux And to add to your reply, "set up the homing files?"
That's going to be my new google mission I'm afraid.

@Phaedrux I've been trying to configure in the RRF configuration tool but I get stuck in missing one of the stepper motor drivers.. Not sure how to add the "ghost driver" or how one would call it, the one on the other side that copies the other one exactly. (yes I'm that new)

I've used G-code for a giant Delta printer. I thought now that I have familiarised myself a bit with that better stick with it. Also I really liked not having to have the computer hooked up to the dusty cnc machine environment the whole time.... But yes indeed, never used a Duet before. Just looked at the RRF configuration tool and I miss my double axis for ...
Yes I need to get ready to swim.
