  • RE: Probing X, Y, and Z for CNC job with tool changes

    @Aquilux Sadly Danal passed away a few years ago. https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/16819/danal-s-passing?_=1689795016117

    Maybe have a look at the WorkBee config files which can be found here https://learn.ooznest.co.uk/Wiki/WorkBee_Firmware_Releases Not sure if they have what you need, but worth a look.

    Hopefully someone else can assist.

  • RE: 4 pin 5V fan on 3 Mini

    ok I have got somewhere, connecting as above I could not get it to work.

    So I'm now connected:

    Fan Red (+) - VFD-5V_EXT
    Fan Black (-) - VFD-GND
    Fan Blue (PWM) - VFD-out6_buff
    Fan Yellow (FOO) - OUT3-out3.tach

    and in the config I have:

    M950 F1 C"vfd+out3" Q25000

  • RE: 4 pin 5V fan on 3 Mini

    @dc42 ok not quite working. If I config like:

    M950 F1 C"out3" Q25000
    M106 P1 C"Fan" S0 H-1
    

    Also tried inverting the pin with, which I think you are supposed to do with 4 wire PWM fans

    M950 F1 C"!out3" Q25000
    M106 P1 C"Fan" S0 H-1
    

    Calling M106 P1 S1 and M106 P1 S0 doesn't do anything.

    If I disconnect the Blue PWN wire the fan operates at 100% as it should (according to it's datasheet) so it's getting power.

  • 4 pin 5V fan on 3 Mini

    Hi, I have a 4 pin 5V fan I would like to use as a hot end fan on the on 3 Mini. Just want to check how to wire it.

    I'm supplying EXT 5V anyway to power LEDs.

    If I use OUT 3 to control the fan, can I connect as follows

    Fan Black to OUT3 - GND
    Fan Yellow to OUT3 - out3.tach
    Fan Blue to OUT3 - out3-

    Can I just connect Fan Red to 5V PWM - 5V_EXT ?

    Thanks

    @zapta you can do, happy to continue making little tweaks to it. Next on the list is multiple printers.

  • RE: Duet Buddy - a proof of concept remote monitor

    @o_lampe for me my printers are upstairs in my office. If I’m downstairs I put the M5Stack somewhere in my line of sight so a quick glance would give me an update on the status of the print. With a phone, I would either have to leave it on with the app running propped up somewhere or have to pick it up, unlock it and switch to the app if it’s not the active app. In this scenario it makes more sense to me to have a small dedicated display.

  • RE: Duet Buddy - a proof of concept remote monitor

    @zapta yeah I will send a pull request, it uses ArduinoJSON now so it’s just 1 file and very easy to add extra items to parse. My plan next is to have multiple printers in the config file so you can use the buttons to switch between them.

    @o_lampe yes that is possible. With regards to hardware the M5Stack is a nice cheap, portable unit with a battery and display, so ideal for a simple monitoring tool, yes you could use a phone but would you want to leave your phone display on all the time? You could in fact use anything with a display and WiFi to do something similar.

  • RE: Duet Buddy - a proof of concept remote monitor

    @pastthepoint @zapta I’ve rewritten this recently (I know it’s taken me a while to get round to it) and it works with duet3. I don’t use an SBC so can’t confirm if it works. Not sure what the difference, if any is with the returned json between duet3 in standalone mode and with an SBC. I can share the code tomorrow.

    Is anyone else getting 2 copies of the forum's daily digest email? I only have 1 account and since the digest email has been updated to the new format, I get 2 copies at around 18:00.

    @zapta yes, that's pretty much exactly what I was thinking. Spot on thanks!

    @fcwilt only seem to be able to find the breakout for drivers, will keep looking. Thanks.

    @fcwilt Perfect thanks. Yeah, I'll probably just make a simple breakout board.

  • Duet 2 Using the Expansion Header Pins for Extra Endstop

    Hi all,

    Just a quick question. I am in need of an extra endstop on a Duet 2 WiFi for a CNC machine, so 6 endstops in total.

    Is it possible to use the endstop pins on the expansion header directly. i.e wire my 6th endstop directly to pins 2, 3 and 4 for E2 STOP?

    It would be much cheaper than buying a Duex2/5 just for an endstop.

    Thanks,
    Richard

    This is so sad. Danal has helped me many times and anyone can see he made a huge impact on this community. He will be missed.

  • RE: PanelDue Improvement Tips

    While we are discussing possible changes to PanelDue, a CNC mode specific version would be amazing! Just built an MPCNC and well, let’s just say it’s not the most efficient interface for CNC.

    If anyone knows of a CNC build for PanelDue that I haven’t found or other CNC specific interface please let me know.

  • RE: Probing X, Y, and Z for CNC job with tool changes

    You can also use the Ooznest Workbee version of DWC which is customised for use with CNC. It also has an feature for probing using a touch plate.

    I’ve just set my CNC up with it and also need to figure out all these probing macros, just been setting xyz manually so far.

    The problem I have is I’m using all 5 endstops as endstops so need to figure out a way of attaching a probe plate to the probe input on the duet2 if possible.

    I’m also exploring the possibility of setting up this interface for CNC https://github.com/dddbox/dddbox as the PanelDue isn’t really helpful for CNC either. Unless there is some other PanelDue firmware that I’ve not found yet 🤔

    Has development stopped on DSF? Not seen any commits on the repo since January. Is @chrishamm ok?
