Thanks phaedrux. BTW it is cartesian I designed for IDEX, I only have one X head setup on it for now though.

@dc42
NEMA 17.
1.8° Step Angle.
200 Steps Per Revolution.
1A Phase.
0.48Nm Holding Torque.
40mm Body.
19mm Output Shaft (5mm diameter)
750mm wire lead with Molex connector

Motor current set to .8 amp.

I think I have it sorted out. One of the wires in the cable has a short. I cut the connectors off and checked the wires without any connectors which is surprising considering the Y axis motor and motor wires never move. I might expect a wire to wear down on something like the direct drive motor over time but not the Y axis. Seems to be working now with a new cable. What Molex connectors are these? I want to order some backup connectors.

@phaedrux
I hope its not the board. I really like the Duet2Wifi. I just don't have the tools here so I'll have to look at it again tomorrow. Tried 3 different LDO motors that I know work and it's all the same, so I'm thinking a bad wire somewhere since it did the same thing on the E1 driver.

@phaedrux
Yea all the same issues. But it's acting like a bad connection. I'm thinking there has to be bad wire somewhere even though all the connections look good. I'll deal with it tomorrow.

@phaedrux
Hmm same issue. The motor gets jerky and the Y fails to home.

@phaedrux
Duet2Wifi.
There is no M584 command. Everything above that is for wifi network.
That's what the RepRap configurator gave me.

@phaedrux I looked at that. Not sure what stepper motor number to put for Y is it just YE1 ?

@phaedrux already tried a couple of different motors. Not sure how to use the extra extruder stepper for the Y-Axis.

@dc42
My printer has been working fine for a few weeks now. All of a sudden (because stuff always happens suddenly) my Y-axis is making a horrible noise and I'm getting this warning---motor phase A may be disconnected reported by driver(s) 1

I checked the wiring and connections. All good. Is this a bad stepper? Hope this is still under warrantee because this is the second board Filistruder has sent me. The first one had a bad EO stepper. I'm starting to have buyers remorse.

@droftarts Heh, I keep scrolling past the start. Thanks for the help Ian.

@droftarts Did Cura spit that out with Marlin or RepRap? Which are you using now Marlin or RepRap? I'm building an IDEX not sure which slicer I'll be using.

@droftarts well that worked. It's odd though. I got the Chamber Heater warning only when using the plugin to send g-code to the Duet board. If I uploaded the g-code manually from Cura 4.2.1 to the Duet I got no Chamber Heater warning. When I activated the Build Volume Temp in Cura it was set to 28, changed it to 0, and now the plugin seems to work without the warning.

@droftarts I'll give it a try when this print is finished. Wonder why they added it by default, unless all Ultimaker Printers have heated chambers?

This seems to be a problem with the Duet2Wifi plugin for Cura. I get a Chamber Heater not connected warning only when I use the plugin to send the gcode to the Duet2Wifi. It's like this plugin is adding a chamber heater but I don't have it in my Cura start or stop gcode setting, nor do I have it activated on my Duet2Wifi. Normal slicing and transfer to the Duet by manual upload works fine. It's only when using this plugin to send to the gcode to the Duet that I get this chamber heater warning.

@gtaman
Thanks gtaman
That was mostly right. I left the meter long extension in and upon inspection, the Dupont connector on the BLTouch end of the meter long extension had a couple of broken tabs. I like that the BLTouch comes with spare Dupont connectors. Working now.

@gtaman
Yes it does

Received a new replacement Duet2Wifi board and everything is working, except for the BLTouch. I have tried two different BLTouch's and I am having the same problem with both. When homing Z the probe touches the bed, retracts, then extends again and acts like it is in error mode, while the Z continues moving down to the bed.
M280 P3 S160 I1 resets the error mode.
M280 P3 S120 I1 Self test works.
M401 will extend the probe.
M402 will retract the probe.
It is wired as described in: https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Connecting_a_Z_probe
