You can't configure the bed heater as a heater without a temperature sensor, but you could configure it as GPIO and control it using M42.

@pinkmaro -

I don't think this is a Duet problem, it's the drive itself going to sleep.

What kind of drive is it? Some drive manufacturers have a utility program or procedure to flip off the sleep mode built into most drives these days, it's a power saving feature. Sadly, not all drive makers have made it possible to bypass the sleep mode.

Jump on the Tech support forum for the drive maker, someone there has surely asked this question.

Note that often third party companies like LaCie will make a drive using someone else's drive like Western Digital.

Your post always enlightens me on something new! I didn't know about M208!! Thank you! will go and change my code ^^ cheers

You can set the step pulse parameter using the T parameter in the M569 command. You don't need to change the pulse width when using the drivers that are built-in to the Duet, but you do need to when using most types of external driver.

Glad it's working now.

The firmware upgrade around 1.18 and 1.19 was quite involved, but it's now very simple and straightforward with only a single zip file to upload to update everything.

@pinkmaro Seems a little silly to not just use a thermistor since it's designed to monitor and wait for a temperature to be achieved before starting a print.

But, I guess you could use the filament runout sensor configured as a simple switch. It would basically wait until filament is present and pressing the switch before proceeding with the print.

It's hard to know whether it's just the CPU that's been damaged, or other components too. If the blue LED on the WiFi module turns on as soon as you apply power and stays on, then it's likely that at least the WiFi module is damaged too.

It's a long shot, but you could try erasing the firmware, by fitting the Erase jumper and applying USB power for a few seconds. Then remove the jumper, connect to a PC via USB again, and see whether the Bossa port appears.

Yes you can do that. First send G92 X0 Y0 Z0 to pretend that the printer has been homed. Then you should be able to use the jog buttons to move the axes, and see the XYZ coordinates change.

@pinkmaro V1.0 was an internal version. the version we shipped was 1.1. I have updated the KiCAD files and documentation on Github to say v1.1, however there are no changes to the design:
