I've a custom tool changer build based on Duet 2 Wifi + Duex5, giving me a total of 10 Stepper drivers and all of those drivers are in use.
Now I want to include a stepper driven wiping station for all tools, and would require another driver. Could this be solved with the Dual Stepper Driver Expansion Module from Duet?
@fcwilt Thanks for the quick help. Changing to relative E distance worked.
is there any other work-around? I always thought you are supposed to use absolute extrusion values for higher precision?
Using PrusaSlicer, "use relative E distances" is unchecked. So I guess absolute?
Hi,
I have a tool changer running a prime.g script after picking up a tool.
Prime.g is supposed to brush over the nozzle, purge the nozzle with filament, brush again and start printing.
What I find is happening, that after the purge I'd like to have 3mm retraction, but I get approx. 10mm (10second long, not sure how much). Does anyone see where it comes from?
purge.g:

@deckingman Thanks. This solved the heatbed not showing issue.
The heatsink cooler turning on depending on hotend temperature does still not work. Incorporated your changes and tried with S0 and S1. Both did not work for me.

Hi all,
I'm having an issue where my heatbed is not visible in Duet Web Control using RRF3. On rrf2.x it was visible.

Additionally, my thermostatically regulated fan on the e3dv6 heatsink is not working (12V fan plugged into duex.fan4. Not using Duet 2 Wifi ports due to system on 24V, fans on 12V). In case someone is able to spot the mistake there. Thank you for your help.
I've also been unable to get the dyze thermistor working on rrf3. If anyone found a solution, I'd be happy to hear it.
For anyone interested: the second drawing/image works. However, the Ground Pin on Duet 2 Wifi next to PS_ON had to be connected to power supply ground. I am, however, unsure why that's the case.
@Danal looks to me as if PS_ON switches PS_ON_IN via mosfet to ground. I think using 12V should not be a problem.
@Danal thanks for taking the time.
I think I will leave the RPi control away for now to get a simpler system. Yes, push button is ON only.
I will provide the Duet 2 Wifi with 5V from always on 5/12V PSU.
I will run 12V to one end of relay, the other end goes (1) through push button to ground and (2) to PS_ON pin.
I prefer 12V to 5V (or 3.3V) for higher signal stability since Push button is wired ~1 meter away of the Relay, and PS_ON should manage the 12V input as far as I read. Still confused about how the PS_ON actually works, tho.
If you can, please do lecture me on PS_ON an its correct usage 
The momentary switch is only to start the relay for the 24V power supply for few seconds to provide power to the Duet. Duet then takes over with powering the relay/itself using M80/M81.
As I understood it M80 will switch PS_ON pin to ground (via a PMV40UN2 mosfet) (source: https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?416,680735). Meaning I will have to provide +V to it. On the other hand, GPIO pin on RPi outputs +V and cannot sink current. Or am I mistaken?
Thanks for your help.
@Danal revisited the schematic. I'm confident it should work the following way, requiring a mosfet for the RPi to switch the relay to ground. PS_ON is able to easily sink 12V so it should be fine.
Edit: added image below. I think the wiring with the Duet is not going to work, since Power_ON only ground 5V and does not output it, if I understood correctly.
@Danal it should act as an easy access point from outside of the network and provide the image for Duets IP camera feed. I was thinking about using it for an "automatic printing" hub for standard setting prints, e.g. upload .stl to it, and it automatically slices and sends file to Duet. But for now, Camera and access point only.
Hi everyone,
I'm struggling a bit with figuring out how to best wire my electronics.
I have:
32W 5V/12V DC dual-out power supply (for LEDs, Raspberry Pi, Arduinos. Might need to buy higher W supply)
500W 24V power supply
Duet 2 Wifi v1.04
Duex 5
Raspberry Pi 3B+
Kudom Solid State Relay (25A 240V AC // 4-32V DC)
NC momentary push button
I want the 5V/12V to be always on, and the 24V powering the duet&duex&motors to be turned On and Off using the relay via (a) a momentary push button at the front of the printer, (b) via a raspberry pi (making it possible to fully control printer from afar) and (c) via Duet Webcontrol (off only, end of print). I want all 3 possibilities to be working independently. Is there a way to achieve this?
I imagine it would be possible with just (1) connecting 5V from always-on power supply through NC momentary push button through relay to ground; (2) connecting Raspberry Pi GPIO.Out through relay to ground; and (3) Duet 2 Wifi Power_ON through relay to ground. All 5V connections will be equipped with a diode.
Would this work or am I missing something?
Thanks for your help!
