Yeah, I found that page after I asked the question lol. Thanks though! Turns out I could size down but the cost for a good DINrail PSU is so cost prohibitive, I'll just stick with what I have now.

@bearer said in Duet 2 Wifi power supply requirements:

should be fine, a good way to test is to pop the enclosure in a microwave, if it gets hot then it'll likely attenuate the wifi signal.

I can't tell if this is a joke or serious. This sounds like the "Charge your phone with a microwave" prank. Now I have to google if a microwave blocks WiFi signal lol.

Hello Hive Mind.

I plan on building an enclosure for my CNC machine controls (Duet, VFD, relays, and PSU) and was curious what the power requirements for the Duet are while running? Currently, I'm using a 24v/15a 3D printer PSU to run my Duet and in the interest of saving space, I'd like to go with a slimmer DIN-rail mounted PSU that can handle the load.

On an alternate note, does anyone think that a plastic enclosure with hinder my WiFi signal badly or should I get a booster or swap to an ethernet Duet?

@Danal Everything works as intended now!

Thank you so much guys!

@Danal I'm gonna test this since I never done that before

test line 1
test line 2

That is cool! Okay, I'll be back in a few hours with the routines. I'll tag you. Thanks.

@Danal I'm at work so give me a few hours to provide them. Do you want me to give the files or is copy/paste enough?

My duet is driving a 1000x1000 workbee cnc and I'm having some issues with homing. I had an M564 command in my config file which allowed me to drive the machine without having to home it to allow me to home the machine earlier but since taken the command out. Before taking M564 S0 H0 out of config, I was able to home everything individually and home all successfully. No, my machine will home Z, but not X, Y, or All. Additionally, it will not home all even if I have everything commented out except for the Z moves (which was proven to work with homing Z alone).

The machine's max area is X770 Y800 Y94. The errors I'm getting is a "G28 G0/G1 target position outside machine limits". I'm wondering if I were to put an M564 S0 H0 command at the beginning of homeall.g and M564 S1 H1 command at the end of homeall.g, will it turn off soft limits during homing sequence then turn soft limits back on when its finished? Does anyone have any other possible solutions to my issue?

@elmoret I've been trying but my Fan PWM ports will not respond to any command, all they display is the V_IN. I'm not too sure what else to do in my config.g file to grt them to work properly. You have any ideas?

I was looking through all the information for the new Duet 3 board and I didnt see if it carries any 0-10v signal support. Is there any support for this feature or will there be in the future? I know a few people have asked in the forums about something like this for CNC spindle control.

Please reread the documentation of M584. You are missing drive assignment for e

This is for a CNC machine, I don't have an E drive, just X Y Z.

@veti That solves half of my issues. Why can I not control Fan0, Fan1, or Fan2 speed on the UI? Is there something I need to configure in firmware to get them to populate on WebControl?

Hello Hive Mind.

I'm having some trouble with the Fan PWM pins acting like Always On Fan pins. All of my pins (Fan0, Fan1, and Fan2) have 24vdc on them. My UI on WebControl only displays "Tool Fan" under miscellaneous but will not control any of those pins but will not display the other fans. I'm kind of lost here trying to figure out how to get these pins to work as intended and/or adding sliders on UI for these fans. Any ideas?

Duet Wifi on Workbee CNC machine.

Thanks.

I have a question regarding the Duet WiFi model. How is the reception on the WiFi dongle when enclosed in a metal enclosure? I want to place my Duet and other components into a Hoffman enclosure for my CNC machine and want to make sure the WiFi will work or if I'll need to figure something else out.

I'm having a fairly annoying issue. I access my Wifi through web browser through 192.168.1.XXX. My issue is after some periods of time pass, the XXX value changes which forces me to hardwire into the Duet and restart the setup procedure to figure out what the new XXX value is to access through web browser. How do I give it a static IP or what is an easier way to access the page without having to hardwire to find the new IP? As far as I can tell, the instructions during that part of the setup never go over how.

So I'm wiring my steppers to the Duet. Duet labels them as 1B/1A/2A/2B in order from one side to another. My steppers labels the wires as a Black(A+), Green(A-), Red(B+), Blue(B-). Can someone give me a hand to figure out which lands where?

I'm using the Duet on a CNC and had a question. Regarding the endstop wiring, can the core programming diferentiate between NO and NC wiring? Can you choose between whether you want the program to use endstop as NO or NC wiring?

@jacotheron said in Mach4 with Duet on CNC:

Basically with Mach3/4 and similar CNC machines, the controllers are quite dumb - they connect to a computer (or these days one can use a RaspberryPi or similar) via USB, and software on this computer sends the gcode commands one-by-one. A downside to this is the speed at which commands can be sent (if you have high detail curved surfaces, which are sent as segments, the machine may start to stutter; this is why these machines typically support the G2 and G3 commands for curves).

With a Duet mainboard, you can copy the gcode files over the network to your machine and then have it 'print' the gcode file - which runs the job (so it acts as both the controller and controlling computer at the same time). Since the Duet can read as fast as as it needs to and have a much better processor, having a high detailed curve as segments does not (at least in my setup) cause stuttering.

I have uploaded a Post Processor file for Fusion 360 in this forum - this is what I use on my machine and it works just fine (support for multiple tools etc).

With that being said, do you use a corner finder probe for XYZ to zero in on a corner or to compensate for angle deviation or do you use another method that I'm not thinking of? If you do zero a corner of the work, how do you do it?

I plan to use the Duet with Mach4 to control my CNC machine. Is Duet able to handle Mach4? I really need to know before shelling out for it. If not, what does everyone use for a g-code generator for their CNC?
