I found a couple broken wires going to the motor but I still can't get it to work. Now I can't even connect to the board. The light by the wifi antenna is not one and I can't get a COM port by plugging in the USB cable. The only wires that are on are the LED +5v and LED VIN.

I'm getting the same error now all of a sudden. My machine has been wired for several months. I've recently been getting anomalies in my prints, looks like not extruding enough on the border, could be layer height and have been trouble shooting. I swapped out the nozzle. Now I get this phase message when I try to home my Z axis. Here is my config.

Any ideas?

I don't know if they are brushless or not. They are 30mm 12v fans. Most of which I got from the filastruder company so I would think they would be compatible. I don't see anything on the 3pin mosfets. I think those are the little chips just above the outputs that have 2 little pins on one side and 1 pin on the other. Nothing looks charred or anything.

It doesn't look like my config file got posted. Here it is again.
config.txt

I recently purchased the Duex 2 and Duex 5 Expansion Board - Duex2 board for the Duet3d wifi. I now have 3 of the fan ports that have stopped working. Yesterday, I was watching one of the temperature activated ones and it just stopped and I can't get that port to work again. Ports 3, 5 and 6 are the ones I can't get to work. All 4 of my fans function when I have them hooked up to functioning ports. So the wiring for the fans should be good. I've changed my config.g file to point to the working ports up until number 5 quit. It's still in the config but I can't get the fan to work. It should start with the M106 command but it doesn't.

Here is a pic of my board.

here is my config file.

I have the mini differential IR Height sensor. I'll try removing those files and see what happens. I checked and they are there.

Ok, I see what you are getting at but I have my X- off the bed and I make sure my print doesn't try to extrude in the air.

So, that being said. Why does the head try to move past the end stop?

I don't understand what you are saying. Tool 0 is my left nozzle, but when it's homes, it would be at 0. Why do you say it would be at some negative value of 0? My right nozzle, Tool 1 would then be at 33 when the head is homed.

I reset my G31 to X0.0. I had been trying to see if it had something to do with the dual extruder. It still tries to go past my end stop. The sensor is over Tool 0 so when the head is homed, the sensor should be at 0 also.

When I use the G29 command to probe my bed, I get some strange behavior on my X axis. I think it may have something to so with my the way I have my X axis set up. It is a dual head printer so when X is homed, the left nozzle is not over the board. I have tried to configure that in the config.g file but I may not have it right.

When the probing starts, the head moves up to Z40 and X35. Then the X moves toward the endstop and tried to move past it. It then probes the bed but I don't think the X readings in Web Control are accurate. I had to reduce the right parameter for probing so the head didn't move past the end of the bed on that side.

When it's done probing, it tries to move past my X endstop again.

I do get a map, I haven not tried to print with it yet so I don't know how coordinated will line up.

I'm running with firmware 1.20. Here is my config.g file.

Thanks for the reply. I did it the same way, by putting the card in my computer. I unplugged and plugged the USB cable in several times, tried it with and without power to the board. I tried uninstalling the duet device from the device manager. I finally tried it in a different USB port and it loaded. I had a new com port but that's not a bug deal.

I was updating my firmware, following the instructions for 1.19. I connected with Pronterface and started the upgrade. I got this message.

Now I have no COM port in the device manager, it just says duet with the yellow triangle. I can't get a COM port so I can't connect to start with wifi.

No, I have direct drives. Looks like it was because the slicer I was using (CraftWare) does not support relative extruder positions. I switched to Slic3r and I was able to get it to work.

Thanks for all your help.

I picked up a new card today so I could get the adapter and plug it into my computer. I'm able to save to the card now. Thanks.

I don't really understand what is happening here. I'm printing a test piece, just setting up my printer with the DuetWifi for the first time. The object is 100mm long and 5mm wide. When it prints, the long sides look ok, but the extruder doesn't seem to slow down on the short ends and I get big globs of plastic. Acceleration on the X and Y axis slow the head down when it's about to change direction but the extruder looks like it might even be speeding up. I can't prove that one way or the other at this time.

I've tried adjusting steps/mm for the extruder but that didn't work.

Any ideas?

Here is my config.g file.

I'm trying to make some changes to the config.g file on my Duetwifi. I'm just getting started here so I may just be doing something wrong. When I try to edit the file is get and error that says it can't save the file. If I have Pronterface connected, it says "Error: Upload finished in state 6". I can't seem to find anything telling me what that means in the forum.

I've also had trouble updating the firmware. When I install it is asks if I want to install it but when I click yes, nothing happens and the version does not change. When I upload the server file it says it can't update the Wifi server update file.
