Ok, thanks. I'll give it try.

RE: DWC Layer chart stuck at layer 1
No, I have Cura 4.7.1 but no other slicers.
Could it be something in the start or end codes ? -
DWC Layer chart stuck at layer 1
Hi,
While printing a simple cube I noticed the layer chart doesn't do anything, it remains at layer 1. Also the text above the layer chart doesn't update layers, only percentage print time.
RRF 3.1.1 , DWC 3.1.1Is this a bug or is there a setting I'm unaware of ?

RE: Motors not working as they should
@dc42 That's something to remember. The new black flags work perfectly though.

RE: Motors not working as they should
Didn't have this problem with the SKR board that used to be in this printer. The new flags will be ready in 30 miniutes.
Thanks again. -
RE: Motors not working as they should
They are yellow but not transparent.
I'm printing them in black as we speak. -
RE: Motors not working as they should
I think I found something. I noticed the LEDS on the optical endstops only dim but do not entirely extinguish when the axis hits the endstop. When I use a black piece of plastic to interrupt the switch the light extinguishes. When homed (by hand) M119 only reports the X endstop as triggered, not the Y axis. Could it be the PETG triggers on the printer are not thick enough to trigger the Y endstop and just enough to trigger the X ?

RE: Motors not working as they should
I know, that's what I wanted.
-
RE: Motors not working as they should
Yes.
M574 :
Endstop configuration:
X: high end switch connected to pin xstop
Y: high end switch connected to pin ystop
Z: high end Z probeI can stop the Y homing movement by triggering the endstop by hand.
Yes, I wanted to move just one motor
-
RE: Motors not working as they should
Ok, progress. Homing now moves the correct axis but only the X endstop triggers. At the Y endstop it wants to keep moving.
-
RE: Motors not working as they should
Yes, I wanted to test the X and Y separately.
-
RE: Motors not working as they should
I did exactly that and it helped, my axes move correctly now. + moves to +, the origin is at left front and the endstops at the right- back. But they don't respond correctly to the inputs from the DWC.
I did the
G91
G1 H2 X10 F3000
and it moves correctly, to the right and the back diagonally. -
RE: Motors not working as they should
All is not well yet. I have the motor directions correctly set up now, but moving has several issues. When I try to move the X axis, the Y axis moves and vice versa. When I try to home the X axis, the Z starts to move. When I try to home the Y axis , the X axis homes.

Great thanks. My homework assignment for tomorrow.

RE: Motors not working as they should
Thanks, I'll have to study that. I'm new to Duet and new to corexy so it's a bit of a challenge.
I'm aware of the distinctions of homing and motor directions but they never seem to do what I want : x and y endstops at the right and back, 0,0 at the front left. And I have to discover where to make changes and what codes to use. But I'll get there.
The commissioning guide is for the Ender 3, isn't there something a bit more tailored to my situation ? -
RE: Motors not working as they should
Ok, upped the current to 1200 mA. The motors sound ok now but are still homing in the wrong direction. Changed the direction all is working well now.
Thank you very much -
RE: Motors not working as they should
So I should run them at 1.2 A ? I can do that.
