I have a standard V6 hot end running on a 1LC toolboard. I would like to switch to a V6 Revo Six hot end. Can I still use this toolboard or do I have to change to the roto toolboard.

@ortondale
Hi Thanks for the help, up a running ok.
Looks like a new bed plate called for!

@ortondale
What is the effective scanning distance from the bed? With the present scanning the coil is 4mm above the bed, is this distance to great.
Also I notice I’m not using the M558.1 command, not sure the effect this has

@ortondale
Specified K0 K1 in G29, G30, G31 commands and removed M375 in config.g
Reset the probe area to within the probe reach.
The bed scanned without any error messages showing 324 points but still no height readings

Does this prove that the coil and board are working ok and the error is in the coding?

@oliof Hi, running latest ver. 3.5.2

Z scanning probe point error

Finally got the Z probe to scan the bed but not returning a reading. At each probe point the message
(Skipping grid point X=# Y=# because the Z probe cannot reach it). The height map shows 0 at each point across the bed. Can someone point me in the right direction?

About to add Z probe scanning on next upgrade
At Formnect 23 Tony Lock introduced the SZP board along with three coil types, one of which was a design to allow a Bltouch to probe through the centre of the coil before scanning the bed. The other two coil types are the ones currently being supplied with the board. Can anybody tell me if the Bltouch coil is available, if so where from, or did Duet drop the idea.
If using one of the supplied coils is it workable to drill a hole in the centre and probe through the coil.

@ortondale thanks once again

@ortondale Hi Phaedrux

I don’t want it to run all the time
I require it to run say on second or third layer. Should the black negative be on pin out1 for this to happen or on out1.tach.

Sorry to bother you kind folks again
On testing my new install with Duet3 Mini5+ and toolboard 1LC v1.3, I find the parts cooling fan run continuously from power up. The hot end fan is ok coming on at temp 45c.

Connected fan to OUT5 on main board and it worked ok, coming on at second layer.

Have I got the wrong pins connected on the toolbord?
Should it be +VOUT and out1 pins not GND and +VOUT

Also in Web Controller both fans show up, but when I adjust /move one slider the other slider moves the same.
Any advice would be appreciated.

@gloomyandy

You are right about the SD card. Had taken it out to check this allusive macro file that might cause problems and forgot to put it back.

I have had another go at making sense of the Yat readings and I think I’ve found the problem.
I have two internet speeds with slightly differing address. It seems the board doesn’t like the 5 GHz address. When I entered the slow speed address the board connected ok.
Now just waiting to see how long it stays connected.

Question : When is the green LED for the WiFi modual supposed to be active, is it when power is supplied, or when the modual receives a signal. At the moment this LED does not light up

Your thoughts appreciated

@KenW Just checked my copy and have the same macro file.
Are you saying this deletes the config.g file?

@KenW Went through the set up procedure for new board while connected to USB to PC as per Duet instructions, using saved copy RepRap Configurator files.
Now it doesn’t even respond in YAT

Duet 3 Mini 5+ WiFi
Just installed new duet3 WiFi board. After a couple of days lost connection and had to reload files over USB.
Again today loss connection, but this time unable to connect over USB.
Noticed that the ESP Led next to the WiFi module is not illuminated as it should be. Have I to assume that the module has given up. All other Led on the board are on ok.
If so how do I go about getting it sorted.

Just upgraded printer with above boards replacing a Duet 2 Maestro set up.
At the same time upgraded to latest firmware

As I understand by putting ! in the command line it should invert the end stop position

Any help to solve this problem would be much appreciated at 78 years of age the old grey matter is getting a bit thin.

Problem Solved
Switched motor plugs around on X and Y
Reversed motor direction
Changed end stop to X1
Home X axis changed from G1 H1 X255 to G1 H1 X-255
Go back a few mm changed from X-5 to X5
Reset probe point and mesh bed configuration
All is well
