Hello everyone, I'm new here and new with duet controler aswell (grbl guy basically). I built a new cnc 1515 lead screws driven with 2 steppers on Y axis. I'm in trouble with the basics, here is my setup: X-axis , 1 stepper, 2 limit switches NC Y-axis, 2 steppers, 2 limit switches NC Z-axis, 1 steper, 1 limit switch for high position NC I would like to home to bottom left corner but my X-axis always go to X- to hit the right switch wich is not connected yet (don't know where to connect it). I would like to "squarred" Y-axis on both motors running separately during the homing as i have 2 switches. Is someone can help me with the home files aswell ? Thank you so much.

You are either going to have to stick with the firmware provided by Ooznest (home UP, RIGHT, BACK - machine co-ordinates maxima) or write your own based on the the firmware provided by Duzoki. (link to wiki below). If you really want to start at the front left of the machine it would not be difficult to write a macro to use G0 moves in G53 to take it wherever you want it. I believe if you don't use Ooznest's firmware you won't have the machine co-ordinates in your DRO. PS - beware of grbl users giving advice on this - it's not quite the same. Alex. Gcode Duet3D Documentation
As for wiring limit switches, NC need to be wired in series gnea/grbl unless the duet has two spots for each axis.
Thank you for thoses answers.Y @Alex Chambers : I thought that the origin of workbee was front left is it right ? because when i home Y axis it goes backward and i need to press emergency button as there is no endstop on the back Y axis i followed this guide 4. Testing Your WorkBee and my axis seems to go the right way but not when homing. What about the head position on workbee ? when i hit homeZ which seems to work correctly, the position is set to Z94 not 0. I'm a bit lost sorry... Fred
I changed my homex.g file in order to home X on the left switch by putting negative values but now i have an error saying : G28 X Error: G0/G1: target position outside machine limits
That's because you are used to grbl. The default home position for the workbee/Duet/Ooznest firmware is RIGHT/BACK/UP and machine co-ordinates are set to machine maxima - not zero. I haven't yet worked out how to set hard limits in Rep-Rap (don't see the point - soft limits works fine and hard limits would only come into play if the machine was missing steps and the controller was losing track of where the gantry is in the real world). I noticed that you defined a logical drive U and assigned it to drive 3, but you have already assigned logical drive Y to drive 3?
Ooznest's firmware only uses the switches for homing - it completely ignores them the rest of the time. On my phone at the moment and that makes it difficult to read your file, cross reference to the Duet wiki's etc, but will try to have another look at what you are trying to do later. Alex.
That's because of the second switch added on Y-axis on duet 2 . reprap firware v2.x requires a new driver set up for homing purpose the way i want ( as you told before: when losing track. Yes but also to squarred up my machine on the Y axis) here is the tutorial i used for this but didnt check the homing modifications yet :Independent Z motors and endstop switches in RRF2
ok now i put my X endstop switch on the right side and when homing X-axis i get this error: G28 X Error: G0/G1: target position outside machine limits here is my homex.g : ; homex.g ; called to home the X axis G91 ; relative positioning G21 ; Set units to mm G1 H1 Z145 F900 ; move quickly to Z axis endstop and stop there (first pass) G1 Z-3 F2400 ; go back a few mm G1 H1 Z145 F300 ; move slowly to z axis endstop once more (second pass) G1 H1 X1500 F2400 ; move quickly to X and Y axis endstops and stop there (first pass) G92 X1300 Z145 ; Set Home Position please - to your machine size.

G90 ; absolute positioning
thank you Alex, i can homeAll perfectly now but i dont understand why the head position is still at the maximum values 1300x1300x145mm which is the size of the machine i put in the settings. Does it means that i have to move in relative coordinates by moving the head manually or by using a z-probe to point the origin of my work piece ?
At the risk of telling you things you already know; The home position sets the machine co-ordinates system - with the Duet/Ooznest's firmware this is set at the maximum dimensions of the machine that you set in config.g (this is different to grbl! and confusing for grbl users) Your work co-ordinate system (you have six available with the Duet - G54 to G59) is an offset from the machine co-ordinates. What the machine co-ordinates actually are doesn't matter as all the work is done in the work co-ordinate system. You need to set the work co-ordinates zero (at the same place as you set the origin in your cam software). You can set this anywhere on your machine - just make sure you have enough room to make all necessary moves without hitting the limits (dimensions - not switches - the firmware uses soft limits by default - this line in config.g configures that [M564 S1 H1 ; Disable jog commands when not homed] and ignores any limit switches. Your g-code would normally set absolute co-ordinates, but it is still referring to the work co-ordinate system - ie; the type of move. The homing macros switch to relative co-ordinates (ie; move nnn from where you are) but switch back to absolute co-ordinates when they finish (ie; move to this point nnn from zero) I found it confusing at first that absolute co-ordinates refers to both a move within the work co-ordinate system and is used to refer to machine co-ordinates. Hope that clears things up (and isn't insulting your intelligence!) As you know G28 will run the home macro you specify (home all if you just send G28) but Rep-Rap g-code used on the Duet doesn't seem to have a G28.1 so you can't use it as you would with grbl to specify a position to return to other than home. I know you wanted to set up so that you could control both Y axes independently for squaring the machine, but frankly I have squared my machine three times - when I built it, when one of my stepper leads broke and one Y axis went bananas, and once when I stupidly ran the X axis into a G-cramp. All of those were in the first few weeks - I haven't squared it again in the last eighteen months because it hasn't needed it. Alex.
Alex, thank you for sharing those explanations. I understand what you mean but here is my dashboard on the duet web interface. I can't find where is the work coordinate , where it is ? do i need to switch a profile or something ?
What version of the firmware from Ooznest are you using? I strongly recommend updating to the latest (V1.0.7), especially as you are used to grbl. The latest version uses G53 for machine co-ordinates, which is what you will be used to. Update WorkBee Firmware Alex.
sorry to dig up an old thread but im having a similar issue i beleive, im running a duet 3 via DWC rather than the ooznest interface and my axis when homed for X/Y read the maximum value, i have my endstops configured in the following orientation: X - Low End Y - High End Z - High End when homed my tool posotion shows this: Tool Position X0.0 Y1400.0 Z120.00 is there a way of flipping the displayed Axis orientation on the GUI via the config? config below: ; General preferences G90 ; send absolute coordinates...

I don't have the Duet 3, but I also don't understand your question - what exactly do you want to flip? Alex.
PS - someone has developed a modification of the Ooznest interface for the Duet 3 - I'll try to find a link tomorrow if you are interested. Alex.
yes please very interested, I've sorted the issue with the home position zero setting now, do you know if the ooznest interface for the duet 3 has the xyz probe facility?
Sorry - haven't been following this myself, but I believe the User Interface for the Duet 3 doesn't yet include the probe firmware. The link I was given is below. This is a user interface modelled on the Ooznest one - it is not by Ooznest. Alex. Preview version of CNC optimized DWC. There is also this link to a facebook group discussion you might find interesting The WorkBee CNC Group : I finally managed to upgrade my Duet2 Wifi board to the latest RepRap firmware 3.3.2 https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10224051653574938
ah right, i already have this thanks, running 3.2.2 currently with the joystick jogger plugin, havent found a way to use the openbuilds XYZ probe yet with the duet 3 without writing my own macro which i havent mastered yet. tough it may be on the officicial ooznest UI as im sure ive seen videos of a probing cycle on there.
Yes - the Ooznest UI has the probe firmware built in, but that only runs on the Duet 2. Getting a bit late here in the UK, but I'll message you tomorrow with the code Ooznest used to use in the probe macros before they built it in to the latest firmware version. Alex.
thanks Alex, I'm also in the UK, I've just bit the bullet opted for the black box and interface, I'm going to store my duet 3 away for when i also purchase a 3D printer, right now i don't have the time to do as much tinkering as it will take to get my router working as it would 'out the box 'with the black box. the level of support for the duet 3 and cnc routers isn't there for me just yet, if i get to the point the black box isnt quite enough for my needs i may re-install my duet.
I am also waiting for the Duet 3 to "mature" in terms of cnc support - I really want it's ability, with the latest rep-rap firmware, to handle variables for things like bit setting - I'd like to semi-automate that. Alex.
