I had a similar issue. Take a very close look at the IR receiver (the one with the black lens). In my case, the solder hadn't completely flowed underneath the pad and adding just a little bit more made it spring back to life. According to dc42, this is the first thing they look for when one of these sensors doesn't trigger.

@dc42 said in InputShaping-Plugin-0.2.0-pre8-2 released:
@j3d the A parameter of M956 doesn't work yet.
Ah, so does it always evaluate to A0 currently?
I also needed to switch my accelerometer to 12 bit resolution in order to capture any meaningful results.
@mfs12 This is a really neat plugin, thanks for all your work!
I was wondering if you could make the A parameter of the M956 command editable? It seems to be hardcoded to A2 in InputShapingSession.js. I seem to get much better results with the following command in the documentation where A0 is used.
Acceleration measurements captured during movement typically show higher frequency components caused by the motors and belts. For this reason, you may get results that are easier to interpret if you collect data immediately after a sharp stop, using a command such as this:
; Duet 3 and 2, accelerometer connected to mainboard (M956 P0)
G1 X-50 G4 S2 G1 X50 F20000 M400 M956 P0 S1000 A0

Running the following resulted in null:
echo state.atxPowerPort
null
However entering M80 C"nil" before the M955 command seems to have worked.
I noticed the following in the change log for 3.4.0beta4. I wonder if these changes caused the issue?
state.atxPower is no longer flagged 'live'. It is present if at least one M80 or M81 command has been executed and the PS_ON port is valid.
M80 now has an optional C parameter allowing the PS_ON port and polarity to be changed
Though, as you can see, there is no M80 or M81 command in my config.

@alex-cr Everything seems to be working to the best of my knowledge.
Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing this. I am using the SD card that was provided with my Duet 3 Mini 5+. When I test it, it seems that the write speed is faster than the read speed?
M122 P104 S25
Testing SD card write speed...
SD write speed for 25.0Mbyte file was 3.74Mbytes/sec
Testing SD card read speed...
SD read speed for 25.0Mbyte file was 0.64Mbytes/sec
M122
...
=== Storage ===
Free file entries: 10
SD card 0 detected, interface speed: 22.5MBytes/sec
SD card longest read time 4.3ms, write time 166.2ms, max retries 0
...
What kinds of speeds are you all experiencing? I'm running 3.4.0beta5.
I'm in the process of attaching an accelerometer to my Duet 3 Mini 5+ on IO_4. It seemed to connect just fine with 3.3, but after upgrading to 3.4.0beta5, I now get the following error when issuing this M955 command:
M955 P0 C"io4.out+io4.in" I60
Error: M955: Pin 'io4.out' is not free
I am aware that io4.out is shared with pson, but I don't see any way to disable that function? This seemed to work just fine with 3.3, so I'm wondering if this is a regression?
@dc42 said in [Coming soon: Accelerometer Support]
Yes, use the temp daughterboard connector to connect an accelerometer directly. The SBC uses a separate SPI bus. However, currently accelerometer data can only be saved to file when running in standalone mode.
Will this still work if you have a temperature daughterboard installed? I'm utilizing the thermocouple board on a Mini 5+.
@jay_s_uk That worked great! Will this affect the torque curve? How did I know if this value is too low/too high? I guess by looking at the steps/mm output when you run M569 Px?
Sorry, I should have mentioned that that diagram is viewed from the X-Z plane. Eg left/right is X and up/down is Z.
I don't quite understand your edit @Phaedrux. If you were using a probe such as a switch or piezo sensor, you would be dragging the sensor across the bed. The diagonals that I had included would allow the sensor to clear the triggered state by still utilizing the dive height. This is important when it comes to highly warped beds, or for any sensor that requires contact with the bed.
Edit: Oh, I think your suggestion may work for analog non-contact probes and beds with a low amount of warp, but it would fail for anything else.
Sorry, I included the incorrect config. Here's what's on my board:

Hi everyone,
I've recently upgraded my Duet Maestro to a Mini 5+ after the ethernet controller died. One thing that I haven't been able to figure out is that the extruder motor now makes a strange whirring noise when extruding. This didn't happen on the Maestro, and I suspect it's caused by the change in stepper drivers between the two models.
Video: https://www.dropbox.com/s/xkfhbbf8rjpr45w/extruder_whirring.mov?dl=0
I've tried switching it into spread cycle mode, however the idle noise was driving me crazy, so I switched it back. I assume this is something to do with the driver switching between spreadcycle and stealthchop? The X and Y motors are the same model, and they don't seem to have the issue, so it seems like it arrises when running at a low step rate.
My config is straight-forward:
M569 P0.0 S1 ; physical drive 0.0 goes forwards
M569 P0.1 S1 ; physical drive 0.1 goes forwards
M569 P0.2 S1 ; physical drive 0.2 goes forwards

The video shows a 50mm extrusion at 5mm/s.
Motor specs:
Voltage: 4.96V
Current: 0.8A
Resistance: 6.2 ohms
Inductance: 10mH
Torque: 2.4 Kg*cm
I'm running on a 24V supply.
Has anyone run into this before?
Currently, when a point is probed, the head must move in X to the point, probe all the way down to the bed, then raise all the way back up, when it will move in X to the next point. This could be optimized by moving in X while simultaneously raising the head. I don't see an option to perform this using G29. I believe this modification could reduce probe times by quite a bit.
Thanks @gloomyandy, I misunderstood. Changing it to:
M350 Z16 I1
M92 Z400
M906 Z300
M569 D3 P0.2 V20
G1 F60
G28 Z
G1 Z10 F60
G1 Z0 F60
made it silent. Thank you so much!
@o_lampe
The lead screw is oiled, and it still makes the noise when the bed has been removed. The lead screw is straight.
Setting the motor current to 300mA made no difference.
I changed my test gcode to include your change. No difference.
I changed the max requested speed in the EMF calculator to what I actually set (60mm/s) and the results are better, however in practice, it's still quite loud.
Approximate peak back EMF due to rotation per motor: 3.9 V at 60.0 mm/s
Approximate peak back EMF due to inductance per motor: 6.4 V at 60.0 mm/s
Step pulse frequency: 4.8 kHz at 60.0 mm/s
Speed at which torque starts to drop (low slip angle): 121.6 mm/s @ 9.7 kHz
Speed at which torque starts to drop (high slip angle): 163.2 mm/s @ 13.1 kHz
@gloomyandy Unfortunately setting the driver to spread cycle didn't make a difference either.
I'll put in an order for another motor. Fingers crossed!
I should also mention that I am running the printer on 24V.
According to the EMF calculator for 800mA, it says:
Approximate peak back EMF due to rotation per motor: 6.5 V at 200.0 mm/s
Approximate peak back EMF due to inductance per motor: 56.5 V at 200.0 mm/s
Step pulse frequency: 16.0 kHz at 200.0 mm/s
Speed at which torque starts to drop (low slip angle): n/a
Speed at which torque starts to drop (high slip angle): n/a
For 400mA:
Approximate peak back EMF due to rotation per motor: 6.5 V at 200.0 mm/s
Approximate peak back EMF due to inductance per motor: 28.3 V at 200.0 mm/s
Step pulse frequency: 16.0 kHz at 200.0 mm/s
Speed at which torque starts to drop (low slip angle): 106.7 mm/s @ 8.5 kHz
Speed at which torque starts to drop (high slip angle): 126.5 mm/s @ 10.1 kHz
The back EMF due to inductance is very high. Is this the cause?
Hi everyone. I've been experiencing some issues with my Z axis motor. It is a 42HB34F04ASG-09 from Bohong. The specs are:
Step angle: 1.8
Rated voltage: 13.2
Current: 0.4A/phase
Resistance: 33 ohms/phase
Inductance: 45 mH/phase
Holding torque: 2.4 kg/cm
The integrated lead screw is TR8 with 4 starts, 300mm.

As can be seen, I have set the Z axis stepper current to 400mA, with x16 micro-stepping with interpolation. With these settings, I am getting a lot of noise:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/k89gnkdi3inhgwb/16_interp_400mA.mov?dl=0
This is using the following gcode:
M350 Z16 I1
M92 Z400
M906 Z400
G28 Z
G1Z10
G1Z0
I installed a stepper damper between the motor and the chassis hoping that it would reduce the noise, however it didn't make any difference.
I have tried every micro-stepping setting (interpolated and not) and its compensated steps/mm, and it didn't make any difference with the noise. The only thing that made a difference was increasing the current.
This is with 800mA:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/iqo8btcrsayl4ys/16_interp_800mA.mov?dl=0
It removes the high frequency, but it is still very loud.
Has anyone run into a problem such as this before? How can I reduce the noise?
Thanks!
@Phaedrux I have sent off an email, yes.
