3rd extruder

I have my 3rd extruder connected to E2 of the dueX4. I can heat the hot end using DWC. I can't get it to heat with my starting script in Simplify3D. Ex 1 and 2 work fine.

M563 P0 D0 H1 ; Define tool 0
G10 P0 S0 R0 X0 Y0 ; Set tool 0 operating and standby temperatures
M563 P1 D1 H2 ; Define tool 1
G10 P1 S0 R0 X41.97 Y0 ; Set tool 1 operating and standby temperatures
M563 P2 D2 H3 ; Define tool 2
G10 P2 S0 R0 X51.97 Y0 ; Set tool 2 operating and standby temperatures

Start script S3D
T2
G10 S[extruder3_temperature] P2 R0 ; Set target temp
M116 S[extruder3_temperature] P2 R0 ; Wait for extruder current temp to reach

Also the yellow and red indicator lights on Ex3 on paneldue 4.5 do not work.

Merry Christmas

Can you post the first 50 or so lines of the gcode file produced by S3D that you expected to heat the 3rd extruder?

The M116 command should be just M116 P2, although the extra parameters you added should be ignored.

M104 S190 T0
T2

Maybe that is the problem, because the G10 line for T0 is out commented?

The problem I can see is this line:

G10 S[extruder3_temperature] P2 R0 ; Set target temp

You evidently expected S3D to substitute for the temperature variable, but it didn't.

When defining a new tool in DWC if my 3rd extruder is connected to E2 on the Duex4 what should the Heater and drive be set at? I have it set to Heater 3 and drive 2 (it works but not sure why)
Is M563 for the 3rd extruder correct?

Yes, I agree. I will continue to try different settings in S3D. my 1st and 2nd extruder are working as they should. Can you please check my M563?

Your M563 P2 command looks good to me.

Don't know how but I fixed it. (wish I did) I am doing all this testing while I wait for my DueX2. This is a pic of my Test Bed
Thank you for your help.

David, Also the yellow and red indicator lights on Ex3 on paneldue 4.3 do not work. version 1.15beta2.
I just saw the update I'll try that. is there any other way to install the update besides the usb port? Can I use DWC?

Currently you can only update PanelDue firmware via USB. I have it on my list to support updating it via DWC.

Updated to latest version of PanelDue and the 3rd Ex/heater indicator lights don't work.

Thanks, assuming i can reproduce that I'll fix it in the next PanelDue firmware release.

I can confirm that. I also notice some inconsistency with PanelDue, so I will use this chance to tell about it
Perhaps there is some misunderstanding from my side as well, but basically we have 4 hotend icons on PanelDue, numbered 1 to 4. I would guess they supposed to represent Tools? Or is it a Heater representation?
I have a 3-in-1-out configuration, so only one heater and 3 extruder drives. If I change tools, only the first Hotend icon is active (numbered 1), always. It seems I can change the temp settings, but I cannot manually extrude or retract the filament, unless I am set to Tool 0. I find it also confusing, that Tools are 0-x and PanelDue shows 1-4. But it will be OK, if it shows the heaters. I do think, that Tools are more appropriate here though.
If I would change the tools in DWC, and try to extrude on PanelDue - sometimes the DUET hangs up and needs to be reset. the same happens if I try to select the second Hotend icon on PanelDue.

These are not complains really, it is just a feedback from a random user.

The icons at the top represent tools, but the figures in the columns represent heaters. I agree it is confusing that 4 tools are always shown. Work is in hand to change it.
