@dc42 Thank for replying.
But I was wondering what parameters I have to put in the motor settings to have a perfect rotation of 360°. Because the 33 is a value that I approximated using my eyes but it's not a perfect rotation. Or is there a command to control a stepper motor only in degrees of rotation and not in a linear axis ?
Otherwise, thank you very much for your response!

Hello, I use a stepper to rotate a turntable and I would like to control his rotation with degrees. Currently, I have only found a value in X to enter to make a 360° rotation (G1 X33 F1000). But this is not at all optimal, do you know a command or a way to perfectly control the rotation of the stepper motor shaft in degrees?

I'm using a Duet 3 6XD 3.4.6 with a NEMA 17 0.5Nm 1.7A with a step of 1.8° (M1173041). I also have to use an external driver for the motor (TB6600).

Hello @Phaedrux, I'm not trying to control a printer, I make a machine with a stepper motor, 3 thermocouples and 3 ssr that control heating lamps.
Since the last time, I changed my config with the config tool in order to make it more complete but it does the same thing.

And as long as I'm in conversation, do you know how to control the motor to make it turn a certain number of degrees (it controls a turntable).

Thank you for replying

Hello, I'm working on a Duet 3 XD with PanelDue 7i 3.5.0
On DWC, I can display temperatures on the tools board but how can I show them on the PanelDue. Is-there commands to add ?
In the config file, I define the temp sensors like this :
M308 S1 P"spi.cs1"Y"thermocouple-max31856" K"K"
Can someone help me ?

I working on a project with a Duet 3 6XD and I have to control, using macros, a SSR. I still can't manage to control pins, I tried with heaters pins, fans pins and IO.
Per example, I create a pin heater : M950 H1 P1 C"out0" T1
Then I try to power the pin with M42 command but nothing happens, there is no voltage difference between the pins. Can someone guide me ?

@jay_s_uk Thank you really ! The board works

I just got a Duet 3 6XD and after a few tests, the status led turned off, the PanelDue is white, and the ethernet leds are off. By looking on the documentation, this means that the firmware is erased. But when I go looking on the board SD card, the files with the firmware etc are still there. What does this means so ?
Thank you in advance
