limit switches are wired as show

Tue, 29 Sep 2020 08:13:04 -0700

Hi, I’m currently setting up my machine. The limit switches are all as pictured, however the status showed “Yes” switching to “No” when pressed. According to the set up procedure these should be “No” when not activated. The red lites on the Duet board are also all on. Please advise as I do not want to proceed to Home the machine until I’m sure. Thanks

Getting web interface controller on mobile

Wed, 09 Sep 2020 00:44:03 -0700

I’ve seen on another post that you have mentioned that “You can bring the web interface up on your mobile, which is normally easier than using a computer.”

Is there anything specific needed for this on the mobile or just the IP address in the browser on the phone?

We have a ethernet only workbee which is all connected OK but the PC does have a USB wifi adaptor.

I notice that VCarve has the ability to start a job directly from the software. Is this something which the workbee is compatable with?

Precision shim recess size mismatch?

Fri, 04 Sep 2020 10:21:46 -0700

Are the recesses in the acme thread blocks supposed to be 0.25mm undersized to the 10mm x 5mm x 1mm "precision shims" the assembly instructions show being installed there? If they are how are we supposed to install them? Are they intended to sit over top the recess? Specific step as an example of what I’m talking about: 3. X-Carriage Assembly

What is the significance of the limit switches' wiring lengths

Tue, 18 Aug 2020 01:40:59 -0700

I notice that the (V2.2) three limit switches (now located!) have three differing wiring lengths. Is this : Shortest -> Z axis, Middle -> X axis, longest - Y axis?

Thanks,

Error 9 in YAT

Thu, 20 Nov 2025 09:45:06 -0700

Hi there,

I am trying to connect the controller of my mashine to my laptop. When I followed the manual, at the end of step "1. Connecting your Controller via USB - Windows" I encountered the Error 9 after typing M115 into YAT.

But the USB connection is valid, I selected the right port and right before this step, the Terminal form was filled with the correct information.

Maybe I missed something, but I also double checked it. Sorry I'm quite new to this topic.

thanks!
