I upgraded the wires to 10 AWG, this is the largest I can use with x2 entering the GND terminals. I noticed my config file was slightly wrong, so I modified that. In addition I changed the stepper wiring on the Duex board so it would only control the Z axis, and after running a test print it seems that it has once again failed for the same reason, this time was quite catastrophic. I have uploaded photos here. -> https://photos.app.goo.gl/TwkdnaHme8Bu8YQ79
This is making me extremely upset, considering upon a software reset, all motor drivers immediately begin to work properly, the Duet board sometimes picks up on the error, but never stops the machine or gives me an error that I can actually diagnose. So far purchasing the Duex5 has only caused more problems than good since I have just been trying to re-calibrate my machine after installation, and it has resulted in drastic mechanical failures of my machine due to over travel of individual lead screws.....The PCB I soldered myself worked great at providing me 5 more additional external stepper drivers, but I want to use the fans, heaters, thermistor and servo capabilities of the Duex5. There is something going on with the TMC2660 onboard the Duex compared to the A4988 drivers I have kicking around so I am considering creating my own ribbon cable that branches the signals I need to the required boards. This isn't ideal, but I want my machine to be working right.
