Hi all, Background info: I'm on the latest DC42 firmware and using a Duet 0.85. The machine is a cartesian and the sys example I'm using is based on a RRP huxley, however it's a completely different machine that will be used for cold extrusion. I currently have a PanelDUE and Pronterface to use as my input devices. So I've had trouble getting my endstops (onto switches) to work with the latestby 1andchin - Duet
Quotedc42 Different makes of stepper motor use different pinouts. So you need to find the pairs. With the motor disconnected, spin the motor shaft to see how easy it is, then short two wires together and try spinning it again. If it is harder to spin, you have found a pair. Otherwise try shorting a different pair of wires. Ah okay- for some reason although I'd read this it hadn't made sense in pby 1andchin - Stepper Motors, Servo Motors, DC Motors
Hi all, I realise this is a very frequently encountered problem, but I keep getting stuck with the documented advice and wondered if anyone could help. So my printer I'm making has a dual stepper Y axis, running of a Duet 0.85. I had both steppers wired up in parallel but kept running into issues with motors skipping. After reading around, I thought rewiring them in series would help (if I couldby 1andchin - Stepper Motors, Servo Motors, DC Motors
Quotedc42 Use the M119 command and the Duet endstop LEDs to test the endstop switches. For normally closed switches, when they are connected but not triggered the LEDs should be lit. I attempted again to get the microswitch endstops to work, but they just wouldn't. Whenever I connected them as suggested, the LED's on the duet and on the endstop did not illuminate and did nothing when triggered dby 1andchin - Extruded Aluminum Frames
Quotedc42 The STP pin is next to the stepper motor pins. So the order should be stepper motor pins, SIGNAL, +5V, GND. Okay- I've just tried that, however it doesn't seem to help the situation. The stopper LED's on the board only illuminate when the microswitches are closed. Unfortunately as well when they are triggered the stepper motors continue going. Any other ideas (is it likely to be a codby 1andchin - Extruded Aluminum Frames
Quotedc42 Hi, I'm sorry to hear you are having problems. 1. Please explain what you mean by "latest version of software". If you mean the (now defunct) RepRapPro 1.09 release, that doesn't support PanelDue. Try my 1.09m or 1.09r version, available via (follow the link to the version you want, then click Raw to download). Chrishamm's fork and Dan Newman's fork also support PanelDue. You may needby 1andchin - Extruded Aluminum Frames
I am on the 1.09 version- glad that I wasn't just being exceptionally silly!. Thank you David- I will have a play around tomorrow and see how I get onby 1andchin - Extruded Aluminum Frames
Hi all, I've been working on a salvaged custom aluminium printer and have refitted it with a DUET board, using the DC42 fork and a base system of a Huxley duo. I'm on the latest version of software as well. The first problem I have is that my panel DUE is in a perpetual state of "connecting". Although the screen is on and is responsive, it is not able to control my printer at all. I was under tby 1andchin - Extruded Aluminum Frames
