Thanks, after thinking about what you said I tried swapping my H and L in the CAN connections and I've got one of three tool boards running now.

Sure thing,

Just to say that I was running the 1LC previously with a CAN connection and it ran well, I'll take some photos and post my config.

Hi @jay_s_uk ,

Have swapped from a Duet Toolboard to this and flashed the firmware (I think) and connected it to the CAN port on my Duet-modified OrangeStorm Giga and I'm unable to connect to it.

Set the DIP switches to this -

But the Ali site says the exact opposite -

I'm assuming the info on the TeamGloomy page is the correct one, I've flipped the 120ohm jumper up and no joy- I get power lights and a rapidly flashing "working" LED but it just stays rapidly flashing.

So I'm stumped, the error I get when I boot is :

CAN response timeout: board 124

Followed the flashing method, saw the drive put the firmware on it and the working light went solid and then started rapidly flashing again so I assume it flashed properly. Could it be that I received a SHT36v3 and not a SHT36 MAX V3? Is there some way of identifying it on the board?

Thanks in advance,

Nate

Hi everyone,

I've converted my Elegoo Giga into a Duet-controlled machine and wondered if someone could help translate the start code that heats only the required beds (there are 4 x 400mm2) ,

Here's my attempt, which at some point seems to override H0 (my heatbed 0) and in DWC where I have four heat beds, H0-H3, Heat bed 0 gets changed so I have two Heat Bed 1s.

@chrishamm

Hi,

I've recently installed the Motion Plugin and it all went well to start until I ran into the same problem as @kiendeleo . I've plugged in an external USB and restarted after reading this post (running 3.5.2) and for whatever reason it looks like it's using up the SD card space. I've had a look through the .conf file to see if I could get it to not save images and while it looks like all the settings are turned to 'off' I'm still running into the low disk space issue and failing prints. Any advice would be welcome.

Thanks

Nate

@gloomyandy Thanks, you're right, I was trying to use M671 incorrectly I think.

It is probably easiest to just write a macro for this and use that with the bed-level screw positions I've got.

-N

@droftarts

Thanks, had a look at M671 and it should've been obvious that there is a 4-point limitation.

For some reason, I thought I had it working on my long print bed before as a bed-leveling screw array versus a more modern pivot point definition. if that makes sense.

-N

Hi,

Previously I had a manual bed level array that had 10 positions for the Y Axis bed leveling screws (code below is now

M671 X75:450:825 Y0:320:635:950:1265:1585:1950:2250 P0.5    

And running 3.5.0-rc3 I now get an error that says that the M671 array is too long. Is there something I'm overlooking in another setting?

For some reason, I don't have a bed.g file anymore either.

Thanks,

Nate

@OwenD Amazing thanks very much

@OwenD Thanks, that can be run like the M106 command in the macro?

Re: Creating a timed fan Marco and Meta

Hi,

Following on this topic, I've got a similar large format Cartesian printer with a 6HC main board and 3HC expansion boards which I've equipped with a small (M5Stack) dc motor to periodically vibrate for a second to make sure pellets are not binding in the feed passage.

I've got the DC motor connected to the IO_1 of my 3rd 3HC and it runs (constantly, I know this is on 100%, this is just for testing) with this in my config.g -

; Pellet Shaker
M950 P1 C"3.io1.out"  Q450       ; create output/servo 
M42 P1 S1 ; set 100% PWM on GPIO port 1

What I thought I could do is modify the code that @infiniteloop and @OwenD helped @kmoore for his pellet feed-

; filamentmonitor.g
; Check filament progress, feed pellets if needed
if job.file.fileName == null 
    M99 
if {{global.filamentProgress + 11500.0} <= move.extruders[0].position} ;
    set global.filamentProgress =   {move.extruders[0].position + 11500.0} 
    M106 P0 S255 
    G4 S3 
    M106 P0 S0

But in my case, I'd like to switch on a fan connection on the 6HC using the M106 command and pulse the pellets a bit.

Is there a way of adding control over the DC motor connected to the IO_1 pins within that macro?

Thanks very much, Nate

Thanks @droftarts

I'm guessing it's an uncommon setup as you say, in this case it's two expansion boards each with a Y motor and a Z motor and a corresponding endstop.

Ola everyone,

I've got a question about using expansion boards and M574 Axis levelling using endstops.

My machine uses one 6HC main board and three 3HC expansion boards, ideally two Z endstops (lower limit) and two Y endstops attached to two of the three 3HC expansion boards.

Is my Endstops code.

At the moment I've got the axis levelling line inactive because I'm unable to get this working and wanted to see if the endstops need to be connected to the main board (or the same expansion?) or do both the drives and the associated endstops need to be connected to the same board (all on one expansion or all on the main board)

Thanks

Hi,

Checking back in to see if anyone has any advice on how best to adjust the M307 code.

Previous to 3.0 I think it heated well with no issue and the new heater algo means that it really struggles to both Autotune and reach 70-75 degrees

M308 S0 P"temp0" Y"pt1000" A"bed Heat1"        ; configure sensor 0 as thermistor on pin temp0 T100000 B4725
M950 H0 C"out1" T0                             ; create bed heater output on out0 and map it to sensor 0
;M301 H0 P-10 I0.2 D50 T0.3
M307 H0 R0.051 K0.098:0.000 D32.76 E1.35 S1.00 B0
; old M307 H0 R0.066 K0.191:0.000 D45.54 E1.35 S1.00 B0 ;M307 H0 R0.076 K0.292:0.000 D42.95 E1.35 S1.00 B0 ;M307 H0 R0.070 K0.416:0.000 D62.44 E1.35 S1.00 B0                 ; disable bang-bang mode for the bed heater and set PWM limit
M140 P0 H0                                     ; map heated bed 0 to heater 0
M143 H0 S90                                    ; set temperature limit for heater 0 to 90C

That's the current setting for one of three heat beds.

Thanks in advance,

Nate

@nxt-1 getting the similar errors via windows

"2022/06/21 14:23:53 Error while downloading rr_status: Too many errors, resetting counters and stoping track operation. Will hide consequent errors..."

Any chance there's a fix for this @Torin ?

Thanks,

Nate

@jay_s_uk Just sent you a chat message. I'm struggling with both bed heating (from 3.4.0rc1) and now what seems like a current limiting issue with steppers running from an expansion board on 3.4.0rc2. Wanted to double-check that your script above can be used to regress to 3.4.0b7 on a 6HC board + 3HC expansion?

Thanks

Nate

Hi all,

After upgrading to 3.4rc1 I've been really struggling to reach 55-60 degrees after running auto-tune half a dozen times. I've adjusted the dead time until I get an 'Error: M307: bad model parameters' error, adjusted the R value all with seemingly little effect on the heating rate.

The bed I'm heating is 3200mm long and divided into three sections. Previous to the update there was a steady temperature increase and now the heating only seems to work 2-3/10 times if the bed section is started from room temperature. If the bed error is cleared and the section turned back to active while warm (35-45) the temperature seems to struggle to heat smoothly, fluctuates around the 'warm' temperature and slightly decrease before another error/fault arises.

I've tried setting the auto-tune from room temperature to S75 with the idea that the elevated temperature might give different PID results but now the auto-tuning won't reach the set temperature and cancelled with the message 'Auto-tune cancelled because target temperature was not reached' .

I've left one section with the previous M307 code and have tried using that for the other bed sections to no avail, nearly every attempt to heat the bed(s) fails.

Any direction would be great.

Thanks

HI @MintyTrebor ,

Have you ever come across an error like this:

Installation failed!

InvalidOperationException in InstallPlugin: Cannot perform command because the plugin service is not started

I was running 3.2.2 (this is all in SBC mode) and tried to install Alpha 0.8.17 which wouldn't work and so I upgraded DWC to 3.3.0-rc1 and then this error occurred.

Just tried Alpha 0.8.16 in case and got the same error.

Thanks-

Nate

I think this is probably what I'm seeing @droftarts and @engikeneer , while it doesn't seem to be present as much (or at all) in the Y axis, the X axis recently had a bracket upgrade that included some IGUS linear guides that seemed to be quite tight in the channel they run along.

I swapped out the helical gear from a 28 tooth one to a 44 tooth to see if that made any difference and it looks like the overall torque to move the now more supported bracket looks like I've introduced far more friction than I had before. Which in turn looks like it's either causing the motor to stall or the pinion to slip.

Thanks both for your help.
