My uSD card died so I thought I'd try the RRF configurator to speed up setup.

Heater 1 has a PT100 on it and I set up what I thought was the correct setup. RRFC spit out this line:

M305 P1 X200 R2200

It should have been:

M305 P1 X200

RRF seemed to get confused with the 'R2200' parameter. Once I removed 'R2200', the sensor worked fine.

For the moment everything else seems fine.

I’m of two minds about it. Closed loop offers intriguing possibilities but it has to be done just right to be any improvement. The biggest issue is it will cost more money, be more complicated (and more parts to fail) and it isn’t guaranteed to be an improvement. Unless you’re a big name manufacturer, add $30 per motor on your machine. I’ve even seen a few different examples where closed loop feedback made the print finish look worse.

Also, TMC drivers have eaten away some of the features once thought exclusive to closed loop.

The Maestro docs say nothing about how to turn on the 12864. I haven't actually tried "just plugging it in" but I assumed there's something to configure as it seems like everything else on Duet needs to be configured before using.

Apart from one page on how to write your own menus, this seems to be the only meaningful thing in the Maestro docs about the 12864:

The Duet 2 Maestro also support the PanelDue colour touchscreen. Connectors for a 12864-type mono graphics display and rotary encoder are also provided (these are not yet fully supported in firmware).

I haven't actually started setting up the Maestro but I've set up a DuetWifi and DuetEthernet a year ago.

@deckingman I dug it up here: https://somei3deas.wordpress.com/2017/04/18/stepper-motor-and-electronics-cooling/

@jrdm I designed and printed one. Works surprisingly well.

I have a friend that is offering to sell me me a couple Duet Tool Board 1LC v0.6 he isn't using.

Is this still supported, and if so, how long will support last compared to current versions of the 1LC?

@jay_s_uk Thank you, I figured the answer was available but I didn't know how else to get there from here, my searching wasn't working.

See title.

Can I set one up as an expansion board for the other? Or must I use 3HC?

I can do 6HC + 3HC (just needs 3 drivers) but I happen to have 2x 6HCs and would like to avoid spending extra money if I can for now.

@jrdm

@jrdm I designed and printed one. Works surprisingly well.

I need to replace standoffs for a couple of these boards. What’s the specification for it?

@huai3895 what brand motor?

What servo do you intend to use?

@Veti said in RRF 2.03 pressure advance causes 20% overextrusion:

@gloomyandy

i think the biggest problem is that they cant do a full revolution

On one hand, that shape of servo can be had in continuous rotation, on another hand, it’s not a servomotor, what is meant when some people say they want a servo on a CNC type machine like a 3D printer. Hobby servos are very limited on what they can do for that kind of use because the type of input doesn’t allow for the level of control needed. Hobby servos also use deep multistage gearboxes, which induce excessive backlash.
