Woot! I got it working! I followed the instructions posted by Danal here ("Just do it this way" code block): https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/15440/failed-to-connect-to-duet3-via-pi4-sbc/8

@infiniteloop Thanks - the culprit is the connection to my CR Touch. I'll need to take another look at how I have it hooked up. With it disconnected, the voltage is correct, and my endstops are working. Thanks for the guidance!

Okay, I can home Y if I home it first. Movement is correct. I can then home X, and it homes correctly. After that, the kinematics are all wrong - the Y motor doesn't turn at all, so all movements end up on a diagonal. If I home X first, then the kinematics are wrong, and I can't home Y.

Just to reiterate - prior to this, all movement was correct. I jogged the head all over the place while leveling the bed. It's only been since I created the mesh.g file and attempted a G29. Not saying that's what caused the problem - it's just the last change I made.

I have to go out of town for a day or two - I'll be back to work on this tomorrow night or the next.

Thanks for any help!

@fcwilt I ran the commands you said - everything moved as expected, both jogging and using G1 commands. X+ was to the right. Y+ was toward the back.

What should I do next?

As far as G32, bed.g, and G29, whatever I have is either the default or perhaps came along with something I copied from somewhere. Please feel free to tell me a more acceptable way to accomplish things like bed leveling or mesh compensation. There's definitely plenty I don't know.

@fcwilt Thanks - I appreciate your taking the time. I'm going to see if I can make a video.

Hmm. It looks like I'm supposed to just use a regular old M140 for the bed temp part of it.

@fcwilt That was it! Thanks so much! I need to be more mindful of my M's and G's I guess!

So while we're here - can you tell me the difference between the bed.g and mesh.g, and how I should use them correctly?

@jay_s_uk Okay, thanks so much for your help. It's working now.

For anyone wondering how I managed to get all the files uploaded, I unzipped the big tuning file, and then made smaller zipped files from the subdirectories. I had to go two levels down for the Acceleration tuning, as it had too many files. I had to zip up E Accel, X Accel, Y Accel, etc. separately. Got them all loaded finally.

Whew! Figured it out - had to go to the plugins tab and start Motion Webcam Server. All working now.

I might eventually want to change over to using this camera for timelapses, but for now this will work.

Thanks for the help!

I am running a Duet 3 with SBC and would like to have a webcam to view prints in progress. According to the docs, something called motion is included with the 3.4 firmware, which I have. I can't figure out how to get this set up, though. I have hooked up a camera (Logitech C270) to the RPi, and I put http://duet3.local:8081/0/stream in the webcam URL in DWC General>Settings. What other steps do I need to take? Is there a better/easier solution to setting up a webcam with the duet?
