hope you all have a safe and happy holiday
from down under on a wet humid day , hope Santa delivers a filament dryer

when you go to back up the Macros and system files it saves them as the name "download" would be nice if it was macros[date] and system[date]

Cheers

@CCS86 i do the deviation check in the bed.g G32

and just use the mesh.g file G29 for fine tuning

Hi yes it will be all shared , plus we will also put in the acknowledgements and web links etc to all the other contributors

BME connected and working , i have used spi.cs2

M308 s11 y"bme280" p"spi.cs2" A"Ambient temp"
M308 s12 y"bmepressure" p"s11.1" A"Pressure[hPa]"
M308 s13 y"bmehumidity" p"s11.2" A"Humidity[%]"

A bit of info as the Pin out description on the BME not the same as Duet board

@R006
your x y home should be more like this

; lift Z
G91 ; relative positioning
G1 H2 Z5 ; move Z relative to current position to avoid dragging nozzle over the bed
G90 ; absolute positioning

; home X

G1 H1 X-305 F1600 ; coarse home in the -X direction
G1 H2 X5 F6000 ; move back 5mm
G1 H1 X -305 F400 ; fine home in the -X direction
G1 H2 Z-5 F6000 ; lower Z again

; homez.g
; lift Z
G91 ; relative positioning
G1 H2 Z5 ; move Z relative to current position to avoid dragging nozzle over the bed
G90 ; absolute positioning

; home Z
G1 X150 Y150 F6000 ; go to bed centre
G30 ; probe the bed
G1 Z20 ; move away a little

;Home all should be like this

; homeall.g
echo "G28 Home all.g "
M561						; clear bed transforms   (same as G29 S2)
M98 P"/sys/homey.g"  		; P define the parameter and is not part of the name
M98 P"/sys/homex.g"  		; P define the parameter and is not part of the name
M98 P"/sys/homez.g" 		; P define the parameter and is not part of the name

@nick9one1

you have a G28 in you end code, and in your start code you can do G32 for your beg.g file

@moth4017

Ok even though the firmware new that the tool T0 was selected adding T0 to the config seems to have fixed this issue.

Sorry, steppers I'm good at but as simple as they are, I suck at endstops.

@oliof
thanks, that's interesting to know, ive mainly seen them on Z axis , but have also seen them on X too now and again.

i suppose i could set a new sensitivity (S parameter) at the end of the homing routines .

@SonnyD1 i think the drivers are rated at 2.4A peak not continuous ,

@jay_s_uk

ok , im not sure if ill post it here but maybe on the Valkyrie Github ,

under the Drybox folder should be there in the next week or so

@fcwilt originally i was going to put an address on each tool head so that the printer would auto configure , but i didnt have enough inputs free on my control board , so ended up doing the macro route , its still something im going to look at using an analogue input 0v=tool 1, 1v = tool 2 etc this way i only use 1 input .
then you could did the setup via global variable's or macros , i like the macro route as all the settings for the too head are in one place .

Would be nice on the heated chamber set chamber to 80C and not start printing untill upto temperature

@dc42 Mark as solved ... i think

@moth4017

will this include non planer printing for the z axis?

Reprinting parts for new x axis going to put them on the surface table before reinstalling to check for twist .

@Adamfilip you have given me an idea ... if the stall detection of the extruder was on the fist layer , could you auto baby step the nozzle away from the bed ?

filament left on spool weight , with the spool weight removed .
