Thanks for the feedback.

Looking forward to trying 3.5.2

@KenW

The Zesty "founders" are still around and promising that parts will be available - we shall see.

@jay_s_uk said in A couple of idea regard endstops:

@fcwilt use g92 to set a position other than the min/max axis limit

I can do that sometimes. But when the endstop is past the min/max limit that causes its own issues.

Thanks.

@fcwilt D2HW_C201H.STEP

Thanks much.

Now my model of the E3D MotionSystem/Tool Changer, as modified and built by me, is complete.

@KenW said in trigger inputs not de-bounced?:

Somewhere I have a stack of plastic and stainless steel templates for logic and electronic circuits.

I had forgotten about those what with the "rise" of computer apps like KiCad.

As well as a few storage boxes of discete logic chips.

I have two draws full of current electronic devices that I use for making things using Arduino boards and the like.

I used the rolls of paper long ago when I painted trim along baseboards.

Rolls of paper? Drafting paper? For drawing schematics?

@gloomyandy

I am working with the E3D MS/TC setup.

The link was very helpful because it answered my other question in that other post. I should read the release notes more often, which won't be hard because to date it has been never. 😳

I like the idea of the extra switch. It would solve another question I have been thinking about.

Thanks VERY much.

@fcwilt originally i was going to put an address on each tool head so that the printer would auto configure , but i didnt have enough inputs free on my control board , so ended up doing the macro route , its still something im going to look at using an analogue input 0v=tool 1, 1v = tool 2 etc this way i only use 1 input .
then you could did the setup via global variable's or macros , i like the macro route as all the settings for the too head are in one place .

@jay_s_uk said in Have accel add-on board - cannot install plugin:

@fcwilt you've downloaded the repo. You need to download the file from the releases section as you would other duet updates

Thanks much.

I clicked on a link in a article and it took me to where that other file was. I guess they assumed I know how Github works.

@droftarts said in M140 question:

Probably worth checking it's not impacting memory too much! Check available memory with M122.

At what point should I worry?

My Duet 2 machines report "never used" as 6K , the Duet 3 machines report 22K to 90K.

Thanks for mentioning it.

@fcwilt PM sent.

That's up to @T3P3Tony

@OwenD

Thanks very much.

That should work just fine.

@chrishamm

Hmm.

It is working now.

All is good.

Thanks.

@niocio01

Thanks much.

It makes sense now.

@dc42 said in Question for users of the E3D Tool Changer hardware:

@fcwilt they are stainless steel cable ties. The ones on my TC are about 650mm long.

Thanks much.
