So I've converted a TLM Delta to DuetWiFi and smart effector.
I previously used a Bl-Touch and have re-commissioned it after being idle for 2 years.

I am also running the latest stable RepRap 3.00

The problem I'm having is inconsistent homing.
ie: Sometimes, my Z will home at 500mm (correct).
Other times it will fail homing, and I will have to home again. (it will report a height like 935mm, ect)

As well, if I set my home height in config.g to the correct value, my smart effector will not reach the bed.

The only way I can get a proper calibration is to add 50mm to my homed height. This will allow a full calibration, but of course it's "fake" and once the printer attempts to home, everything is undone.

I know, just manually adjust "Z"... basic stuff right?
Except, I can't. Even if I enter in a new z offset, it is gone the moment the printer homes, or you turn it off.

I have tried, setting new Z with G92, saving with M500, entering the new z offset, ect...
I've tried with config-override.g, without.

Basically, my printer just does not "remember" where Z0 is, or where Z500 is.

I have checked my endstops, all trigger properly.
The Smart Effector is working as well.

I should mention I last successfully used this printer under 2.03, with a BL-Touch
Is there a bug with 3.00 that I'm running into?

I'm a bit at my wit's end right now, I'm sure I'm missing something obvious
Any and all help would be appreciated.

config.g homedelta.g bed.g

Thanks for the response.
I've put the M569 command in my slicer start code and it works fine.

I've got the printer up and running and all seems to be working.
I even did a test of a failed power supply: I used the reserect.g as a macro and had the printer resume from where the power cut off pretty much dead on.

I gotta say, overall surface finish and lack of noise are are big improvement.
(The loudest parts are the PS and HotEnd fans.)

Okay, so figured out how to remap Y Axis to E1, configured endstops.

Motion tests are good, everything responding as it should.

The big question is "Will it Print?"
I've shut off error pop-ups so I don't get bombarded with "Short to ground" for Driver 1
However the error's are still being polled by the Duet and show up in the log.

Will this error prevent me from printing?!?
I won't be able to test until my new hotend comes in at the end of the week.

It would be great if there was a way to have Duet ignore those driver 1 errors all together.

Yup. Y driver is bricked. not responding.
Lovely

Hate on MKS all you want, I've got 2 and they've never given me problems....
Not too impressed with the QC so far with this

So.. is there any way I can remap to a different driver (Second extruder driver?)
I'd like to get some use out of this board so I don't lose my investment.

Well, I finally decided to get around to converting my Tevo Little Monster
Turns out my Duet board is bad.

I've got the "Short to ground on driver 1 temp shutdown." error

I've had this thing for almost a year, and never realized it was junk.
Now I've a smart effector that is of no use to me now.

I bought the board in Canada and don't really have faith in the seller replacing it
I don't even know where the original packaging is.
