Depends where you are located.

https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/13875/community-repairs?_=1623423266311

If you're not near any of the ones listed there or not in the UK you might be able to find a local electronics repair or cell phone/laptop repair shop.

So that would be, "no".

Or you could use one of the other endstop pins on the expansion header.

What part of "I don't want a work-around" is unclear? Stuffing a wire into the expansion header cures the symptom and not the problem. It also prevents future use of the expansion header.

I'll just replace the board.

M574 X2 S1 P"^xstop" ; configure active-high endstop for high end on X via pin xstop

Note the extra ^ character.

That's one of the first things I'd tried when trying to work out if I had a configuration error. The behavior didn't change.

Is there a repair service for these, or should I just order a replacement?

tnx.

Same issue - X end stop LED remains unlit. No response seen when opening the switch, either vie LED or via M119.

If you disconnect the X endstop and use a jumper wire to connect the two outer pins of the X endstop connector together (taking care not to touch the centre pin), does the LED light?

No.

@phaedrux said in Weird issue after 2.x -> 3.0 -> 3.2.2 upgrade on Duet2 Wifi...:

Are you sure the endstop stopped working exactly along with the update to RRF3? And you're 100% sure it's not wiring/crimp/switch?

I noticed the issue after the update. I've already stated that the machine had been unused for quite some time prior to the update.

You could go back to 2.05.1 if you have your old config and see if it magically starts working again.

Upload the 2.05.1 zip file to the system tab along with your old config.g

Same issue - X end stop LED remains unlit. No response seen when opening the switch, either vie LED or via M119.

@geneb this may be one of those odd occasions when downloading the firmware afresh (same version) and reflashing the Duet helps.

I tried reloading Duet2CombinedFirmware.bin again and while the flash process went without issue, the problem remains.

Fingers crossed that dc42 has some insight.

tnx.

You can try using the expansion header pins as an additional endstop.

https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Connecting_endstop_switches#Section_Endstop_Mapping

I could, but I don't want a work around. If the config is somehow involved, I need to know how to resolve it. If the x end stop as packed it in, fine - I'll just replace the board.

Is this a new DuetWifi? When and where was it purchased?

No, it's an older Duet2Wifi. The printer itself is a Rostock MAX v3.2 and was obtained in 2018. As mentioned previously, it worked fine prior to the upgrade, but that was over a year ago.

The LED on the X axis isn't lit

And it never lights up even when depressing the switch? Even faintly?

It doesn't light at all. Based on the behavior of the Y and Z axis LEDs, it should be lit at all times and go out when the switch is opened.

tnx.

@phaedrux said in Weird issue after 2.x -> 3.0 -> 3.2.2 upgrade on Duet2 Wifi...:

Can you run M98 P"config.g" and post any error messages it reports?

My apologies - I made an incorrect assumption about what that did.
M98 output:
HTTP is enabled on port 80
FTP is disabled
TELNET is disabled
Warning: Macro file config-override.g not found

@geneb said in Weird issue after 2.x -> 3.0 -> 3.2.2 upgrade on Duet2 Wifi...:

I've tried swapping the X & Y wiring and the problem remains.

Meaning that the X wiring and switch works when on Y endstop?
And the Y wiring and switch doesn't work when connected to the X endstop?

That is correct.

What does M119 report?

Endstops - X: not stopped, Y: not stopped, Z: not stopped, Z probe: not stopped

The LED on the X axis isn't lit, whereas the LED on the Z and Y axes ARE lit, and they go out when those switches are hit.

tnx.

@jay_s_uk
The v2.x configuration was this:
M574 X2 Y2 Z2 S1 ; set endstop configuration (all endstops at high end, active high)

The switches are all normally closed.

I'm just wondering if I've somehow missed a configuration step or the channel for the x end stop has completely failed.

Thanks!

I've got a Rostock MAX v3.2 system that I last used a couple of years ago. I recently updated it to v3.2.2 by going from whatever v2 build was on it, to v3.0 and then on to v3.2.2 - I was told this is the correct path for upgrading to v3.2.2 from a 2.x branch.

Anyway, it appears my X endstop input has stopped working. The switch physically works, but the LED for the x endstop channel isn't lit. I've tried swapping the X & Y wiring and the problem remains.

The end stops are configured like so:
M574 X2 S1 P"xstop"
M574 Y2 S1 P"ystop"
M574 Z2 S1 P"zstop"

Did my X end stop channel quietly die on me, or is there something else going on?

Thanks!

The Duet is built into the printer (SeeMeCNC Artemis 300). the enclosure temperature is solely driven by the heat coming off of the heated bed.

A friend of mine can't post here because every time he tries, it aborts the post with "Post content was flagged as spam by Akismet.com"

Here's his question:
"I have a duet 2 wifi and works great but i am considering building a enclosure for my 3d printer. I am trying to find the safe operating temperature for the board before I begin designing the enclosure. it will come in handy when designing the enclosure."

Thanks folks!

g.

@dc42 Ah, ok. Thanks.

g.

That's excellent! The problem is that there's no hint in the description for setting a baud rate (for serial) or a target address (for http or telnet)...

g.

I've gone through the list of M codes on the wiki and I haven't seen something that meets my needs...

Since there doesn't seem to be anything specific for sending data out of the Duet via M code, I was thinking about using one of the fan outputs.

The idea is to wire a fan output to an Arduino (of some sort) via an analog input. Then based on what the PWM level is set on the fan, the Arduino could take one or more different actions based on the input "voltage". I understand that I'll need a voltage divider circuit to keep from cooking the Arduino at the 12v the fan output can provide.

Is there a better way of doing this?

tnx!

g.

Thanks! I must have missed that the first time I surfed that page.

I know there's macros available for selecting tools (tpre0.g, etc), but is there a macro that will execute when a tool is de-selected?

I'm working with dual extrusion on a Rostock MAX v3.2 and it uses the same dual extrusion system as the v3 - essentially a "Y" splitter that feeds one of two filaments into a single hot end.

In order to change filament, the existing filament has to be pulled back past the splitter so that the new filament can be loaded into the hot end.

I can easily load the filament using the tpostN.g files, but I don't see a place where I can add the retraction step.

Thanks!
