@gloomyandy That's good advice, I'll take it.

Glad you can check status with the M119 but I'm confused as to why the visual status has been removed as it was a nice feature.

It works perfectly, and is very slick looking while in action!

Here is my homey.g if anyone else is doing something similar. You can also find the entire configuration on my github, if it helps anyone out. Just give me some time to get it updated.

Up next, giving ends topless homing another try. But first, some multi-material prints as now my nozzles will now stay perfectly aligned.

Thanks for the help but I'll be back....

I just updated to RRF 3.2 and now I can not find the endstop status screen on DWC. Previously the status was shown under the settings menu in the "Machines-specific" screen but it is not longer shown since I updated firmware. Did it get moved somewhere?

@Phaedrux neverminded, I found fallback procedure 3.

@martin7404 That is great news Martin!

@fcwilt At one point I tried that but I went back to having everything in the homeall because it really does save some time, epically considering that this printer has an additional U axis. It is really nice and clean though, maybe I'll revisit it once I get this mess figured out.

@Phaedrux I plan on moving to a new thread and only cover one topic, I just wanted to try a couple things before I do but I have not had the chance.

@fcwilt Sorry, I should have said low current.

@dc42 said in Duex5 Endstop Issue:

It's not bad practice

Ok, good to know! I would consider this problem solved since I am not seeing any issues since updating to 3.2.2

Thanks for the help! It turns out changing M201 worked perfectly fine from the start. I expected to see a larger amount of ringing between accelerations but I was printing fast enough as I forgot to turn up perimeter under speed.

@fred-y That's really smart, I just put a dumb script in my slicer at layer height.

@phaedrux Thanks, that will make it easy to verify.
When searching the g-code the only M201 or 204 I find is the ones I inserted.
"The extruder holding it back", like its accelerations are not fast enough to keep up with the travel moves? I can increase it and try.

@dc42 That's what I thought but does not seem to be working for me. I'm trying to increase the accel by 1000 every 25 layers starting at 2000.

M201 X2000.00 Y2000.00 Z500.00 E600.00
Inserted on line 25 of gcode
M201 X3000.00 Y3000.00

I also tried M204 like this.
Config
M201 X2000.00 Y2000.00 Z500.00 E600.00
Inserted on line 25

M204 P3000.00 T3000.00

It does not look like its increasing, plus layer times are not decreasing. Is there a way to check the current acceleration setting?

It is possible to change acceleration values for the X and Y axis during a print, either from the command prompt or by inserting it into the G-code? The goal is to change accelerations for a ringing test.

@stephen6309 I've already done that once for the fans. I feel that making custom connectors/cable kind of defeats the purpose of using a tool board.

@stephen6309 Thanks for the info! I don't have a issue making the single crimps though, the issue I have is when two wires need to go to one crimp. Did you not use a BL touch with your setup?

According to this, it says two wires are supposed to go to a single ground on the tool board for connecting a BL Touch. Is the user supposed to connect two wires to a JST ZH crimp on a v1 board? It seems way too small for this to be practical.

I already had to make a custom splitter for two part cooling fans for Out1 because I am unable to find the PN anywhere for screw terminals with a 2mm pitch to replace the JST's with screw terminals....

@phaedrux I don't see where it specifies any information about the pitch, series or the part number for the screw terminals. Maybe I'm missing it somewhere?

Anyone know a part number or know where I can purchase screw terminals for the tool board? They appear to be a smaller pitch then typical.
