@droftarts Thanks. For now , it looks solved. I did a format with the SD_Card format tool. Checked: only one partition, put the files back and now it starts up again and find it's configfile. I will do the next days intensif testing with the stop and emergency stop and see if the problem still exists. But for now it looks the double partition was the culprit.

@droftarts I am also thinking it is something "soft" related. your explanation makes sense because on the pc I am using in my atelier I couldn't see the linux partition, so I was under the impression that only one partition existed. It is only when I opened the SD-card with the diskmanagement tool on my other pc that I saw the second partition and probably changed something, so it stayed visible for the windows 7 installation on the atelier PC. I will do a complete repartitioning and try again and come back after testing.
Thanks

@droftarts and @Phaedrux as you suggested I started a new thread. Finally found some time to check out the SD-card reader on my 6xd.

Problem: Often (10% of the time?) when I stop my delta printer with the emergency stop in the web interface or with the STOP-button in PanelDue my config-file gets deleted and my delta is not starting up anymore. I have the idea (couldn't check it yet) that the panelDue STOP-button is more destructive. the web interface only deletes sometime the config-file, but I can just put it back and everything works again. This happened rather regularly because I am in the phase of finetuning my servos and very often have to shut down the machine with the emergency stop. I used two weeks ago for the first time the STOP-button in the PanelDue interface and this time not only the config-file disappeared but also the filesystem or the partitioning got messed up. i got it back in windows 11 via diskmanagement. I just got the filesystem corrected again, so i hope i can get this behavior reproduced.

As requested I connected via Yat to my board and run M115, M122, M22 and M21.
Please find the output in attachment Yat SD Card.txt
But you will find in this output that the SD-card is found and recognized.
But if I check the panelDue and click on the SD-card it says no files found. (does it show the files on the SD-card or only the one in the panelDue slot SD-card, which is not used by me)
It also doesn't start up the web interface, and this has almost to be for sure because it doesn't have access to the config file: no ip-adres, no homing option,...)
When I take out the SD-card, the structure of the SD-card seems altered. I made one partition as told in the manual. I named the SD-card/partition "Delta".
IN windows 7 (my atelier PC used for uploading files to my printer and where I created the partition originally) the Delta partition is not accessible anymore in explorer and the name is gone. There is also a new partition (made by duet3D?) called boot and here I find a similar file structure but in this file structure the config file is missing. If I go to disk management I can see now two partitions and an unallocated space of 9,7 GB
At home I have a windows 11 pc and there I can see both partitions and both are accessible.
So, it seems to me that duet is somehow altering the file structure of the SD-card and makes it unreadable in the process. I suspect it is booting from the boot partition but it can't find the config-file.
In attachment some screenshots of the content of the 2 sys-directories in the boot and the original partition (Delta). In the boot partition the configfile is missing.
further some photos of the soldering of the SD-card holder. They look ok.

Lots of information. Shoot if you have questions.

The same problem here. I have a 6xd board. And very regularly the system deletes my config file. It happens always after an emergency stop in the web interface.

Now i used for the first time the STOP button in the paneldue. After this STOP i rebooted and the duet is not connecting with the web anymore. In the paneldue i got a startup but without configfile. So no connection with the webinterface and no homing, so no printing. When the SD-card was checked in Windows. the SD-card was not readable anymore in windows and after complete format as ex-plained in the duet documentation it is ok for windows but stil not readable according to duet. (No errors with windows check and the files are there in Windows)
So now i can start up my delta. i get a screen in paneldue. it can't find the sdcard and i get no internetconnection anymore. So, i suppose it is starting up from eprom but is not reading anything from the sd-card file.

Using all the newest firmware for as well the board as the webinterface

Any idea?

@droftarts Thanks that worked, but i had to do it manually, doesn't seem to work with the rrf configurator. I take it up with @chrishamm

Hi,
Duet Web Control 3.5.2 shows the extruder temp for as wel my extruder as my bed temperature. Although in the graph you can see the temperatures are different.
I in cluded as wel my configfile as my webview. I creeated my config via the rrf config tool. Any ideas. ?

@jay_s_uk thanks. i forwarded it to him.

@dc42 Thanks, solved it. But then should the rrf configuration tool be changed because when you select the 6xd board you can't select the spi.cs4. It gives the spi.cs outputs from the 6HC

Hi,
I am using a fixed acclerometer via a stacked daughterboard on a 6xd duet3d.
I connected 2 tempsensors via rtd1 and rtd2 on the temp daughterboard and the accelerometer as suggested in the duet3d manual. The suggestion is now to configure the accelerometer via
M955 P0 C"spi.cs4+spi.cs3" ; all wires connected to temp DB connector, stacked on temperature daughterboard
Following this logic the temp sensors should be configured like
M308 S0 P"spi.cs1" Y"rtd-max31865"
M308 S1 P"spi.cs2" Y"rtd-max31865"
Only 1 of the temp sensors seems to work.
I want to exclude an error in the configfile before i start to alter the hardware

I thought the spi.cs numbering goes from 0 to 3?
How comes that the accelerometer is using spi.cs4?

what should be the right numbering in the configfile for as well the accelero meter as the tempsensors.

@oliof i don't get the homing error anymore, so i would think it works now. The moment when i move my z-axis 100 up with the command G1 Z100 F300 nothing moves, but the webinterface says now the z-axis is at 100?
Something is completely off, but i have no idea what.
This is my config.g file and my servos are JMC 180 with brakes. If anybody has any idea.

@Maestro Thanks,You were right M17 did it, but it didn't solve my problems. Even if i unlock the brakes, i am unable to move the servo because the duet3d firmware doesn't let me move any servo before i home everything. the problem is that i have to tune my servos before i can home anything. And for the tuning i need to move my servos. chicken egg problem.
The command M564 S0 H0, which should enable moving the servos before tuning is not allowed on deltas.
Any way how to move my unhomed axis on a delta?
Maybe better to change the title of the topic, How to move stepper or servo without homing on delta?

Re: How to enable and disable brake on 6xd?
Hi,
According to former post for enabling and disabling a servo brake i tried to assign Out6 on my 6xd board to the brake of my servo P0.0 with following command:
M569.7 P0.0 C"out6"
when i later use the command M569.7 P0.0, it seems it doesn't do anything on port out6.
I would expect the port out6 to read 12V.
I connected out6 to an ssr which needs between 4V and 30V input to open. The output is conected to 24V which is needed to open my brakes on the servo.
Am i doing something wrong?
firmware of the 6XD is 3.52

Are the OUT_3, OUT_4, OUT_5 PWM connectors on the 6XD only PWM controllable or also analog voltage controllable? To connect and control 3-wire fan? And if yes, How?

@jay_s_uk ok thanks

Hi,

The documentation about combining the pt100 and the accelerometer is a bit confusing for me.
The documentation states: If your Duet mainboard supports more than one temperature daughterboard (Duet 3 6XD), and you have one temperature daughterboards installed, you can connect the accelerometer to the top of the temperature daughterboard.
Do they mean that I install the pt100 board as standard and then connect the accelerometer on the same SPI connector on top of the connections of the pt100? A schematic would clarify a lot here. I would not even mind drawing it, if I knew which points to connect with which one. I want to keep the accelerometer constantly connected.

@Phaedrux thanks

@Phaedrux
If i understand it right: 1.5m is not a problem with the 4-wire cable with molex connector, but without sd functionality. Sd functionality is only possible with a length of max 40cm
?
With my former duet 0.85 i had regularly some problems with network connectivity, so i am used to troubleshoot directly via the SD. But habits can be changed

Hi,
I was reading through the documentation of the paneldue7 and couldn't find a straightforward answer on my question.
I want to connect an Paneldue7i (version 2.02) with an 6xd (v 1.1) with a long connection cable of 1.5 m. I would still like to use the SD card reader because my 6xd is mounted on top of my printer (2.6m high) and not really accesible. I will do most interactions with the webinterface but would still like the possibility to work via the Paneldue7i if not to difficult.
The flatcable (10 wires) is clearly not an option because more then 40cm. What are my options and how do i have to connect them? If the 6xd is similar to one of the version of the 6hc, it would be handy if somebody adapt the documentation to clarify.

Edit: In the specific wiring page for the paneldue the 6xd is also mentioned , so documentation is in order, my reading skills .....

@fcwilt Thanks, that answers all my questions. I will indeed go that route: the 6XD for all servos and closed loop steppers. and if i have a normal stepper i can always choose to use the 3HC addon or the tool card or an extra external driver. Solved.
