Dual X-carriage enable problem

[dp90pusika]

When activating dual x carriage, sanitycheck wont let it compile:

error DEPENDENCY ERROR: Missing or invalid definitions for DUAL_X_CARRIAGE mode.

Pins are sorted out, steppers are defined, but it wont let me compile.

[jgauchia]

The same error:

#error DEPENDENCY ERROR: Missing or invalid definitions for DUAL_X_CARRIAGE mode.

[jgauchia]

Hi, first of all , sorry for my english

In pins.h

/***************************************************************************************/ #include "../Configuration_Pins.h" /**_*************************************************************************************/

#if X_HOME_DIR > 0 // Home X to MAX #undef X_MIN_PIN #define X_MIN_PIN -1 #elif X_HOME_DIR < 0 // Home X to MIN #undef X_MAX_PIN #define X_MAX_PIN -1 #endif //X_HOME_DIR > 0

When it's defined DUAL_X_CARRIAGE, X_HOME_DIR was -1 and X2_HOME_DIR was 1 . Well if X_HOME_DIR was -1 then X_MAX_PIN was undefined and sanity checks raising the error. Maybe in pins.h checking if DUAL_X_CARRIAGE was defined X_MAX_PIN doesn't be undefined???

I'll try comment this code , and error doesn't appears but gets another compiling error:

sketch/module/motion/stepper.cpp: In function 'void update_endstops()': sketch/module/motion/stepper.cpp:382:31: error: 'struct block_t' has no member named 'active_extruder' if ((current_block->active_extruder == 0 && X_HOME_DIR == -1) || (current_block->active_extruder != 0 && X2_HOME_DIR == -1)) ^ sketch/module/motion/stepper.cpp:382:92: error: 'struct block_t' has no member named 'active_extruder' if ((current_block->active_extruder == 0 && X_HOME_DIR == -1) || (current_block->active_extruder != 0 && X2_HOME_DIR == -1)) ^ sketch/module/motion/stepper.cpp:393:31: error: 'struct block_t' has no member named 'active_extruder' if ((current_block->active_extruder == 0 && X_HOME_DIR == 1) || (current_block->active_extruder != 0 && X2_HOME_DIR == 1)) ^ sketch/module/motion/stepper.cpp:393:91: error: 'struct block_t' has no member named 'active_extruder' if ((current_block->active_extruder == 0 && X_HOME_DIR == 1) || (current_block->active_extruder != 0 && X2_HOME_DIR == 1)) ^ exit status 1

I've a RAMPS board with two extruders, I'll add a extra stepper board controller for dual x carriage.

[jgauchia]

With new version and changed X_MIN_PIN and X_MAX_PIN something like (to test it):

#if DISABLED(DUAL_X_CARRIAGE) #if X_HOME_DIR > 0 // Home X to MAX #undef X_MIN_PIN #define X_MIN_PIN -1 #elif X_HOME_DIR < 0 // Home X to MIN #undef X_MAX_PIN #define X_MAX_PIN -1 #endif //X_HOME_DIR > 0 #endif.

new compiling error raised:

[jgauchia]

@MagoKimbra seems to definition of extruder_offset like original marlin wasn't created.

// Extruder offsets #if EXTRUDERS > 1 #ifndef EXTRUDER_OFFSET_X #define EXTRUDER_OFFSET_X { 0 } // X offsets for each extruder #endif #ifndef EXTRUDER_OFFSET_Y #define EXTRUDER_OFFSET_Y { 0 } // Y offsets for each extruder #endif float extruder_offset[][EXTRUDERS] = { EXTRUDER_OFFSET_X, EXTRUDER_OFFSET_Y #if ENABLED(DUAL_X_CARRIAGE) , { 0 } // Z offsets for each extruder #endif }; #endif

and in MK_main.cpp

_ } else if (dual_x_carriage_mode == DXC_DUPLICATION_MODE) { sw_endstop_min[X_AXIS] = base_min_pos(X_AXIS) + offs;

•    sw_endstop_max[X_AXIS] = min(base_max_pos(X_AXIS), dual_max_x - duplicate_extruder_x_offset) + offs;
  

•    sw_endstop_max[X_AXIS] = min(base_max_pos(X_AXIS), dual_max_x - duplicate_hotend_x_offset) + offs;
   return;
  

  } }_

can you test if it's correct?

[jgauchia]

Well, really doesn't works ... With Marlin and dual X , no problems... :(

[jgauchia]

Dual X carriage works¿?

[dp90pusika]

I tested it recently, nothing is changed, it doesn't work at all

With dual x carriage enabled I get this sanitycheck.h compiling error:

In file included from sketch\base.h:52:0,

             from C:\Users\Dani\Desktop\Marlin 32_08.08\MarlinKimbra4due-master\MK4due\MK4due.ino:216:

    ^

exit status 1 Error compiling for board Arduino Due (Programming Port).

After commenting out the lines in sanitycheck.h:

right now I use this branch of marlin wich works for me: https://github.com/Wurstnase/Marlin4Due

And I'm testing https://github.com/esenapaj/Marlin for DRV8825 drivers because its broken right now, but everithing els is working, if you have diferent stepper drivers it could be working for you

[jgauchia]

I'm using DRV8825 steppers for axis movements and Ardunio Mega , not DUE. I need to work Dualcarriage and Nextion LCD,

[dp90pusika]

I have a working version for the Mega whit DRV8825 and dual x carriage calibrated, but I don't know anithing about setting up that LCD. If you give me an email addres I share it with you, saddly I don't remember which branch or version was it. So I have this one copy of it

[jgauchia]

It's a branch of MarlinKimbra?

[dp90pusika]

no saddly, it's from the main branch

[jgauchia]

Ok, no problem, I'm using Marlin main branch now, with standard LCD screen. Works well.

[dp90pusika]

Ok, than we use about the same firmware right now. I hope the developer will give you a hand with Kimbra soon.

[MagoKimbra]

Ok i check this... Your board?

[dp90pusika]

@jgauchia has a RAMPS 1.4 with arduino mega and an expansion board for one extra stepper.

I use a RADDS board with an arduino due

[MagoKimbra]

Ramps with expansion board, but the pins are mapped ?? Because the ramps is not pins to X2 !!!

[dp90pusika]

Sorry I don't really have the authority to speak in the name of @jgauchia, he is probably sleeping right now, we are about in the same time zone and it's midnight here. But I follow him on instagram and is seen her machine working correctli with the old Marlin main branch. So It is probbabli mapped correctly. And allso when I was testing MarlinKimbra I definiteli mapped the step, dir, enable pin s for the second x axes and still got this compiling error.

[MagoKimbra]

ok... Thanks for info... Check this..

[dp90pusika]

quick update: I was double checking Configuration_Pins.h and found this: #if ENABLED(X2_IS_TMC) #define X2_ENABLE_PIN 49 #define X2_STEP_PIN 51 #define X2_DIR_PIN 53 #endif but this has to be : #if ENABLED(DUAL_X_CARRIAGE) #define X2_ENABLE_PIN 49 #define X2_STEP_PIN 51 #define X2_DIR_PIN 53 #endif

Now it registers my pi setting and mowes on to the second compiling error: Kimbra compiling error.txt

[jgauchia]

Hi, Pins are mapped to 43,45 and 47 , (first was 41,43,45 but pin 41 is kill signal) Arduino Mega with a RAMPS 1.4 + Extra stepper Nextion LCD

@MagoKimbra @dp90pusika , correct, Printer works perfectly with standard Marlin adding pin assignments for the extra stepper board and Graphical LCD like fullgraphicsadapter

[jgauchia]

Now I'm upgrading bed for my printer, If you need to test the firmware I can do it without problems.

[jgauchia]

Hi! With new version MK4Duo seems to works well!

[dp90pusika]

for Due it's still not good i got this error:

In file included from sketch\base.h:55:0,

             from C:\Users\Dani\Desktop\Marlin 32_08.08\09.09\MarlinKimbra-4_2_9\MK\MK.ino:216:

#include <avr/io.h>

There is no io.h file in any of the directorys, if I comment out the missing includes, then it can't find the pinout of the arduino due.

[jgauchia]

@dp90pusika ammm ok, sorry For Arduino Mega it's good. I'm testing it now

[dp90pusika]

@jgauchia no problem, just tested it and gave some feedback

[bruce356]

@MagoKimbra, Hi I also have the Due + RADDS board with a Mendelmax Cartesian printer, drivers are DRV8825. I have installed dual X-Carriage using separate motors and drivers (using E3 driver for X2, Pins used are - enable-49, step-51, dir-53).

How to configure MK4DUO to make this work?

Whenever I enable //#define DUAL_X_CARRIAGE (in Configuration_Feature.h) on compiling (Arduino v1.6.11) this error pops up - LOGICAL_X_POSITION(inactive_extruder_x_pos).

Have you had a chance to look at this, or is my config method wrong and if so how to fix it please.

Thanks for any help - Regards
