@jay_s_uk Apparently that was the issue. I bought a USB 3.0 cable and made it up and now its working. Don't know what to do with that data yet but thats a different issue. I'm making progress thanks to the help. Thank you.

@droftarts adding a code example for the G10 showing the offsets and explaining how one get them. I’m any case, I’m complete I think.

@Phaedrux so that was one thing I just figured out. I unplugged one motor and homed Y. I repeated this for each motor and discovered how the obvious escapes me sometimes. The motors are mirrored so obviously one would be backwards. Fixed that now moving on. Still trying to get a complete homing cycle. Thank you very much for the reply.

@Phaedrux Yes I found it. I had two wires swapped on the U axis endstop. Thank you very much. I'm still not up and running but its progress. WIFI Module fires right up now.

@moth4017 so I lowered it to 1900. Repeated the G32 that was triggering the error and it completed this time. I'm pretty sure that will be enough current. If not, now I know I will have to add additional cooling to the boards. I may end up doing that anyway. Thank you for the help but I think you've solved my issue for now.

@Phaedrux Ok so my board is mounted horizontally with 10mm of air on the bottom side. I am going to raise that amount as much as I can and add a 24v blower wired to "Always on" that will blow across the bottom of the board on the drivers. Also, I turned down the current to 65%. I don't plan on speed printing with this printer so I will run some tests to see if that's enough. Based on your advice these items will resolve my issue. It will take some time to complete the hardware adjustments so for now I will consider this issue solved until I can run some additional tests. That is, unless you disagree?

@Phaedrux said in Filament Runout Sensor:

You can also use the Duet tool change files (tpre.g tpost, etc) and enable and disable that way.

How would I do that specifically?

@Phaedrux

Well if you have multiple tools you may only want the selected tool to be enabled.

Ok I understand now. Gonna make the change and test it out. Should I only enable the T0 in the config.g for single extruder printing and enable the T1 with "M591 D1 S1" in startup gcode on my dual profile in the slicer for dual printing? Would that work?

@Phaedrux No I'm not. That has to be the issue. I'm confused though. The dictionary says that S0 is the default. Why would disabling it be the default? And is says S1 is for printing from SD card which I am not. What should it be?

I cannot seem to get my filament runout sensor to work on my IDEX. I am running a Duet 2 WIFI/Duex5 with a simple switch purchased from here:

https://www.amazon.com/Creativity-Printer-Filament-Detection-Detecting/dp/B087325BPG?pd_rd_w=i1Mxx&content-id=amzn1.sym.724fac2e-0491-4f7a-a10d-2221f9a8bc9a&pf_rd_p=724fac2e-0491-4f7a-a10d-2221f9a8bc9a&pf_rd_r=BF869218EYJ0ZC31PK4J&pd_rd_wg=8W884&pd_rd_r=ffe67b47-8739-41aa-8853-6f8f9e62661c&pd_rd_i=B087325BPG&psc=1&ref_=pd_bap_d_grid_rp_0_38_t

Here are some pictures showing how I have it wired. With its current wiring, the LED on the Duet2 board lights up when there is NO filament present. The LED on the switch lights up when filament is present.

Here is the endstop/runout sensor section of my config.g:

; Endstops
M574 X1 S1 P"e1stop" ; configure switch-type (e.g. microswitch) endstop for low end on X via pin e1stop
M574 U2 S1 P"duex.e6stop" ; configure switch-type (e.g. microswitch) endstop for high end on U via pin exp.e6stop
M574 Y1 S1 P"duex.e5stop" ; configure switch-type (e.g. microswitch) endstop for low end on Y via pin exp.e5stop
M574 Z1 S2 ; configure Z-probe endstop for low end on Z
M591 D0 P2 C"xstop" S0 ; configure filament monitor (simple switch) for E0
M591 D1 P2 C"duex.e4stop" S0 ; configure filament monitor (simple switch) for E1

What do i need to do to fix them so they operate as intended? If I have left out any necessary information, I apologize. Please do not hesitate to ask any questions or for more information.

@droftarts adding a code example for the G10 showing the offsets and explaining how one get them. I’m any case, I’m complete I think.

@droftarts Ok that fixed a couple things. If the offset is negative then I put it in as a positive and it worked. It also did the tool switch properly as well. My T1 now reads:

M563 P1 D1 H2 F2 X3 ; define tool 1 that used high end U carriage
G10 P1 X0 Y0 Z.34 ; set tool 1 axis offsets
G10 P1 R0 S0

Now I move forward and work the X offset piece. I have a better understanding as to how it works, what and what to do. As usual you've come to my rescue. Thanks for your help!

@droftarts said in IDEX U Axis calibration:

With both tools at the same Z height, or the difference accounted for in the G10 P1 Zn.n command

Right... I read that and I dont understand what its telling me to do. On my T1 G10 line is it telling me to put that offset amount in the Z? So that it would read like this: G10 P1 X320 Y0 Z-.34 ? Then for my X, I would do an alignment print and adjust the change in the X value?

@droftarts The Z offset is perfect for the X. I ran a test on the U and discovered there is a -.34 difference in offset between the X and U. How do I put that in my config (T1 G10?) so that the printer know to adjust for that offset after a tool change. I'm not concerned with duplication/mirror mode ATM. I just want them printing at the same height after tool change so I can move on the tuning the X.

@droftarts I am working the Z offset right now and am focused solely on that ATM. X will be next and possibly a later post. Yes I have read that documentation in its entirety as well as G10 and M563. If I could get an example of what right looks like in my case I should be able to figure it out. That portion of the documentation lacks good examples and explanations.
