right, thanks for the quick reply, this makes slightly more sense to me now.

the issue i am having is my CAM (fusion 360) and post processer arent alligned with my CNC router setup, so when i tried to cut my first job the first movement the router makes from the home position starts heading to the other end of the Y Axis and ii get the following error:

3/17/2021, 5:22:18 PM M120 G91 G1 X-10 F6000 G90 M121
Error: G0/G1: target position outside machine limits

is it easier to change the config of the duet or the parameters of the post processor and fusion to be aligned with my router?

some confusion on my part on a previous post so deleted and reworded.

looking for some advice on the positioning of End stops in relation to axis minimum and maximum.

i have my end stops set up in the following configuration:

X- Low End
Y- High End
Z-High end

they were set up in this orientation rather than the standard due to access for loading stock and tool changes.

i'm getting an issue when homed that my tool position reads :

Tool Position
X 0.0
Y 1400.0
Z 120.00

Y/Z should read 0 when homed shouldn't they, if end stops are configured this way?

i have tried switching my mimima and maxima values around but this makes no difference, if its possible to do this would all of the HomeX.g/HomeY.g/HomeZ.g and homeALL.g files need to be changed also relative to the home position on the axis being 0 rather than 1400 as currently shown?

@UcantCNCme

Can anyone tell me which line in this GCode is sending the router off to an unusable section on the work area?

also what gcode do i input to set the current co ordinates as the start position (stock point) of my workpeice.

@Veti thank you I'll give this a try later

I'm a newbie to the world of duet and CNC, I have a lead 1510 with duet 3 6ch MB, I've built an enclosure in an attempt to keep by electrical components free from dust as I'm working with a lot of MDF.

I've fitted some 80mm dust filter covers over the fans.

May be Overkill but I'd like to use two PWM 80mm fans to cool the board under normal operation. Is it possible to control the speed of the fans directly from the duet using gcode? One fan blowing in at the bottom of the enclosure, one out at the top.

I.e run fans at 50% speed on power on, run at 100% speed when steppers are in motion with a run on timer for 30s as an example so fans aren't constantly switching speeds.

If this can't be done via gcode, could I use a pc fan governor with a thermostat for control fan speed based on temperature inside the enclosure or at the probe if mounted on/near the steppe drivers on the board.

I've purchase a 12v thermostatic switch with a probe I'd like to mount on the board near the stepper drivers. Can this be wired to the duet and the PWM fan speed be controlled by this?

ah right, good to know, thank you very much for your help. i need to start another thread regarding my XYZ touch probe now, hopefully i can get this thing up and running!

apologies your right, that m,st of been the version during the config, heres the M115

FIRMWARE_NAME: RepRapFirmware for Duet 3 MB6HC FIRMWARE_VERSION: 3.2.2 ELECTRONICS: Duet 3 MB6HC v1.01 or later FIRMWARE_DATE: 2021-02-11

i thought it had updated but just checked the config file and its still reading 3.2.3, retried to update firmware and my DWC is sticking on a grey screen.

ive home again and looks fine, thank you for you help, was the issue to do with the firmware do you think?

@Phaedrux that popped up after i pressed home all

right seems to be homing now however did get a error pop up:

M120
G91
G1 Y-10 F6000
G90
M121
Error: G0/G1: insufficient axies homed

im not at the router at the minute give me a few minutes and ill check, just installing firmware you sent thanks.

@Phaedrux im not in fornt of the router right now am i ok to send this to it?

3/15/2021, 9:13:07 PM M122

no response

@Phaedrux this was only added today is a i was trying to add PWM control for a fan thermostat i have for an enclosure i've built for the board.

@Phaedrux thanks for the quick reply,

the only way i could access the duet was taking out the micro SD wiped the config files and did a fresh install of a new config file from the rep rap configurator.

I've tried to put in all of the settings i used before but for some reason now my endstops no longer work.

endstops are OB Xtension micro limit switches, NO, Z positioned high end, Y positioned high end, X positioned Low end.

i tried to copy and past into the post bot all lines were out of format, here's what i have now:

hi all hope someone can help me with an issue i have struggled with setting up my CNC router and duet 3 for some time and i'm almost at the point of giving up and trying another "simpler to use" controller, but thought id reach out to the forum before giving up.

hopefully you guys can help.

id like to mention i am a complete newbie to CNCs and duet and this has been a real learning curve so far.

firstly i thought i was at the point of making my first part today and for some unknown reason my computer could not see Duet, this has never been a problem before until i foolishly tried to install the 3.3 Beta version and since i have this problem has arose of the duet not being found when i opened DWC, i was just getting a page not found error.

since this i have tried to revert to a previous configuration and in doing so have lost all my settings and my end stops no longer work and have damaged one in trying to home today. as whatever settings i had used before were not on the latest reinstall.

machine is as follows:

• Lead 1500 x 1000 (From RatRig)
• Nema23 high torque steppers
• Duet 3 6ch MB running v3.2.3
• list item Open Builds XYZ touch probe (which i cannot get to work but ill forget about that for now.)
  *Dewalt 26200 router - manual control

config file attached.
[1_1615840946612_Config.g](Uploading 100%) 

any basic recommendations to get my end stops working and me able to start cutting would be massively appreciated.

if anyone is able to spend some time working with me 1-1 (remotely) to get this up and running i'd be willing to compensate you for your time.
