main@onstep.groups.io | CNC3 RA will only drive one direction

Jamie Flinn

#41458

I have the Wemos D1 R32 CNC3 board now operational using TMC2208 and ONstep X...Both axis are moveable and DEC is fine - RA however will ONLY move in once direction - have verified it is not the drivers, cables have been in use in 4 other setups (as have motors) so it must be something in the config but do not know where to start - pinmaps?

Running via phone app connected to the WIFI but doubt that is related - reversing the cables allows me to move in opposite direction -

Any Ideas?

Hence I am wondering if these perhaps have changed or need changing - I know 1 winding is being powered as I can move 1 direction....

and this TMC2208 would be running in normal mode

#define TMC2208 6 // allows M0,M1 bit patterns for 2x,4x,8x,16x (stealthChop default, uses 256x intpol)

Axis 1 is the problen - axis 2 is good

// Axis1 RA/Azm step/dir driver

#define AXIS1_ENABLE_PIN 12 // [must be low at boot 12]

#define AXIS1_M0_PIN 32 // SPI MOSI

#define AXIS1_M1_PIN 33 // SPI SCK

could you try standard Onstep not OnstepX, i don't know if it supports TMC2208 without modding pinmaps etc?

Jamie Flinn

#41493

loaded 4.24 and now have RA operating but DEC is not moving at all - lol.....
Kevin can you let me know your combinations and any markings on your boards - I will try to mimic exactly (also drop your config so I can do that too)

Thanks

kevin

#41497

I don't have TMC2208, i just have LV8729 drivers. mine just worked with standard hardware, just swapped the config.h for one generated from the config generator. You shouldn't normally need to modify the pinmaps.
As i have just written in another topic "slew problem" ,and others if my name is in blue you can see my posts, I had issues if i powered the Wemos with USB and external power.
Someone has had issues because they didn't remove the resistor on the CNC V3 shield.
using TMC drivers, don't know if that includes TMC2208, have a power up and down order requirement so a Diode, usually Schottky, needs adding try searching the topics with Schottky .

Thanks - I am back on 4.24 with the TMC 2208 and actually was able to connect via NINA on USB and drive the motors - BUT this allowed me to find some other very weird issues that were causing my other problems

IT appears that when the CNC is plugged it the Bluetooth and serial coms become unstable and dont last - I found my only wat to connect is to start the wemos 1st - press reset (long press) - then wait then power the CNC

I configured to start tracking on boot so I can see when it is live - randomly I can connect via nina - using serial monitor I can also sometimes do a :GVN# and get valid response - BT also comes and goes like a yoyo when the CNC is attached - BUT when it is just the wemos power by usb it seems fine (confirming that)

So my suspicion here is there is something unstable in the CNC that is causing corruption in the wemos - lots of gibberish shows up in serial monitor when this happens and I lose com port and bluetooth
Working on finding a pattern to reproduce consistently -

#41503

Try not powering the Wemos from the external power. unless you have fitted the diode you will need to power up the CNC first then plug in the USB. If you have a meter you could try measuring the 5v and 3.3v lines, i found if ihad USB and wemos external power the 5v was down at about 4.4 and the 3.3v was down at about 2.6 volts.
I had a quick google and the tmc2208 although can be a drop in replacement it can also be UART controlled ( stored in internal eprom) and that depends on what version you buy, and presumably also how you previously used them.
Do you have any non TMC drivers to try.

#41523

Update
A4988 in all slots - using 4.24OnStep
Power CNC and wemos from split 12v (13.2 volts) - connected with USB
Cart du Ciel is now connected AND driving both axis BUT ONLY WHEN I HAVE A GREEN A4988 IN RA AND RED A4988 IN DEC!!!!!!!!!
This is the THE most bizarre trouble shooting I have ever done - WHAT THE %$#$@ is the difference between red and green?
OMG my head hurts on this
BT still drops when you try to connect to it but at least I have both direction on both motors

kevin

#41526

try it with ONLY USB power to the Wemos board, I found it doesn't need 12v if you always have USB powered like i do for my ascom driver.

kevin

#41527

also read top line of this, https://reprap.org/wiki/StepStick, check the resistance values they may be different between red and green boards. also applies to different makes of other drivers. Different resistances mean different driver currents for the same measured Vref.

I have the same problem, I downgraded to 4.24 from x and I was able to get it running as well but i didn't have to change the drivers
