    • RE: Z endstop at high end should set Z position to maximum

      Flashed 2.03

      PT1000 on C gives approx 1.1V and Error shorted sensor. Disconnecting the sensor gives a different error. Seems I am on the right port.

    • RE: Duet Maestro Laser Control

      @DeltaCon

      Indded that's what I suggested. AFAIK you could specify a lower frequency if your laser allows modulation this way. I'd rather use this as a discrete output to turn the laser on and off.

    • Duet Maestro Laser Control

      I am going to finish my machine using the Duet Maestro board. I have a 43mm mount where I want to mount e.g. an extruder or laser.

      Can I use the heater pin to control the laser? Of course with a different configuration loaded.

    • Home All Speed

      Were can I recall the firmware version. Is one of the latest.

      My actual HomeAll.g

      G91 ; relative positioning

      M584 Z2 U3 V4 ; split Z
      G1 H1 Z5 U5 V5 F1800 ; move Z, U and V up until the endstop is triggered

      G1 H1 X240 Y200 Z150 U150 V150 F1800 ; move quickly to X or Y endstop and stop there (first pass)

      M584 Z2:3:4 ; Join Z, U, V
      G90 ; absolute positioning

      Works like expected until the X or Y endstop is hit and then gives more speed to the remaining X or Y homing. Yet I did not figure if or how it is related to Z axis.

    • RE: Three Z Axis Endstops

      Many thanks to all. I guess I got it.
      The x8 is a relic from the time I used TB6600s for the Z Axis and is just preliminary. I will change this later. Wish I would be that far already.

    • RE: Three Z Axis Endstops

      This is the console output for M119. How do I associate the endstops to the axis and tell min or max endstop?

      M119
      Endstops - X: not stopped, Y: not stopped, Z: at max stop, U: at min stop, V: not stopped, Z probe: not stopped

    • Three Z Axis Endstops

      I have three Z steppers called Z, U and V with separate endstops . The V endstop does not work. I changed cable and switch. When I have all endstops lid the V stepper tries to turn. I bet it is a typo. But I cannot find it. One typo I fixed. But this didn't do the trick.

    • RE: Temp sensor fault when extruder motor engaged

      Cross talk? One cable is running closer to the stepper cable? Switching of the stepper might cause large transients. I assume the filtering capacitors on the thermocouple board are way to small. I do not know how to put a shield on the thermocouple cable since it has two different wires and the end at thermocouple board makes the cold junction opposed to the hot junction at the heating block.

      I just viewed the picture of the product. They omitted the capacitors at all. Works fine on production test, but not in real world.

    • RE: if top speed = requested speed motor stalls???

      The opto coupler in those TB6600 are a mess. I read from many people that they had problems and from supporters, that those TB6600 take the most support effort. I pulsed them with an AWG (Waveform Generator) and hat lost steps at constant rate. Note: You need to discharge the LED in an opto coupler to minimize pulse width distortion. It seems the protection circuit in those drivers prevents this, what leads to lost steps. This could also explain why accellaration works fine because the DC point might get shifted.

      The transfer ratio of these opto couplers is very bad. This might result in the fact, that even if you are overloading the controller you do not have enough current to drive them propperly.

      I know they are only EUR6.00 in China. Adding the same amount of money for quality couplers make them work. But at this point the difference to the dual stepper add on board is not very much. You should consider how much money your life time is worth while. Meanwhile I see the mod as a proof of concept and hopefully get the add on cards today by DHL Express.

      Thanks to all

      Just deleting the R does the trick. I read somewhere that on newer boards the defaults are OK.
