I wanted to post a project I’ve been working on. Here’s my attempt to install a duet smart effector with the E3d titan aero hotend. So far the effector works pretty well, got some more testing to do. But in this configuration the effector does get triggered, and the exsturder does work.
This whole system will be working with a duet WiFi, as well as the duet3
Thanks for the help the issue was not having M564 H0 in my config file. Your "list of changes" page only describes this issue with Cartesian printers. Not delta's, so i was bit confused. I know you have a ton on your plate so again thanks for everything you do!
For anyone reading this, i have a delta with motors on the top of the printer. I had to change all my stepper motors too the opposite setting to get them to work again.
example
M569 P0 S1 ; Drive 0 (X) goes forwards
M569 P1 S1 ; Drive 1 (Y) goes forwards
M569 P2 S1 ; Drive 2 (Z) goes forwards
M569 P3 S0 ; Drive 3 (E0) goes forwards
Had to change is to
M569 P0 S0 ; Drive 0 (X) goes forwards
M569 P1 S0 ; Drive 1 (Y) goes forwards
M569 P2 S0 ; Drive 2 (Z) goes forwards
M569 P3 S1 ; Drive 3 (E0) goes forwards
and then add
M564 H0 at the end of my Config file in order to get my printer to home correctly. Also if you have code written for a probe that has to be deployed, but you are not using one on your printer. Remove it, it messes with the printers movement for some strange reason.
@Phaedrux It was perfectly fine until it was plugged in directly. This happened after I removed all cables to the PSU and connected everything.
I figured out the problem thanks for helping me troubleshoot, turns out, one of my connectors to the power socket was bad. You guys rock!
@Phaedrux Got it working now! it was my fault for not reading your directions currently!
Thanks to the both of yous!
Generally when I’m trying out long over night prints. What will happen, is the printer will just stop, mid print and cool down. When I look back at the log, I tall display, net work disconnection, and it will have no knowledge of a print even being ran. So there no way to continue. It’s a common issue when running over night prints for what ever reason.
This is particularly in my duet 3 printers.
Is there any way possible to have these board work completely without the need of an internet access? Im continually having connectivity issues between all my printers where I have etiehr printers not being able to connect to the network, ir printers getting disconnected and ruining prints. I have 5 machines total running duet Wi-Fi’s or 3 boards. And they are very temperamental next to each other.
Is it possible by using a duet touch screen I can operate the machines without the need to connect to a network? Would make my life a lot easier running this print farm.
Thanks!

As of right now the printer does work as intended minus the headache of the homing.
If i home anywhere on the bed after performing an action.
for example if i run a red calibration, then home. the printer will think im at my home height starting from where the printer head is at. doubling the effective home height.
i hope you understand.

@Phaedrux It funny you say that, my previous firmware had me connecting to the endtop,
Ive changed the position looking though some old post and found the correct connection that's working fine now.
My final issue is homing.
When i home now, instead of doing one pass up to the end stops, and moving back down for a 2nd pass. it just stops after the 1st pass directly on the end stops. then it doubles my z height, from 300, 600.
and i get this error.
G28
Error: G0/G1: target position not reachable from current position
When i did as you said and changed my end stop config, the printer would not home or moves the
axis at all,
@dc42 said in JohnSL's FSR on a dute Wifi 3.4.4 not working:
@eddygara for the JohnSL board connected to Duet 2 I think you may need:
M558 P8 C"!^zprobe.in" H5 F120 T6000 ; set Z probe type to switch and the dive height + speeds
The correct setting will show a Z probe reading of 0 normally. For the Duet 2 you need the ^ character in the pin name. When the bed is tapped so that the LED on the JohnSL board flashes, DWC may or may not briefly show a Z prove reading of 1000.
Putting in that new change did no help. The board no longer reads 1000 on the z probe, but it will not activate when pressed on the bed.

This line is nonsense
Try G1 H1 X300 Y300 Z300 F4000
Will this fix the probing issue of the FSR? Or is this to fix my homing command?
Thanks for the help!
@Phaedrux this the connection pins to the fsr sensor board.
here is where the pins are attached
