Second Hotend Missing From Touchscreen

Currently stuck on step 14 of this guide. The second hotend does not display AT ALL (see below).


Something's missing here...

There’s a blank gap where the second hotend should be, so it seems at least that the firmware uploaded correctly (about screen pictured below):



arduino configuration screen with firmware succesfully uploaded for referrence

I have double and triple checked the hotend heater cable connections, thermistor cable connection, and the hotend fan cables for the second hotend. Everything is connected as it should be according to the guide. The fans on both hotends are receiving power seeing as they do both spin up upon powering on the unit, so it doesn't seem that the problem is pertaining to the fan power leads. Additionally, I also checked for any physical irregularities in the wires, and they all seem fine.


PLEASE HELP.

I believe the software for the touchscreen dual extrudes is not yet released, nor is the Marlin files. I’m in same boat...

The instructions of the dual hotend have been updated now and new software is available as well.

Looks like the software update they put out last night must have done the trick because after re-downloading the updated marlin firmware and touchscreen firmware and re-applying both the second hotend is now showing up as advertised. Thanks for the heads up, FG.

Update seems to have worked

    Problems with Z axis

    Question 
    So i'm finally assembling my Proforge 2S. It's finally built and most thinfgs so far are ok but I am at the testing stage and having issues with Z axis. When I move the the gantry via the touchscreen it just goes down with both button presses and it rattles a lot. It seems like the up button is actually moving it downwards better while down just moves it slightly and/or gets stuck. The rattling sounds like drilling a wall. I thought some screws are lose but i rechecked everything and all seems fine. I also checked the jumpers and steppers. Jumpers are all in and if i understand correctly both TMC2100 steppers have to be set identical (unlike A4988). Please help someone :(
