Trying to set up a dual extruder but am only 3/4 there. First extruder works (T) temperature control is good, and extrusion is good, have successful prints with first extruder. The second extruder (T1) has temperature control, but will only extrude from the first extruder (T) no matter which tool (0 or 1 in Pronterface or Web Server) is selected. Verified that the second extruder works by swapping the delta/epsilon pin assignments and inverting the direction pin to compensate for that extruder being reversed (enable, direction, step), epsilon hardware and mechanicals work and the epilon extruder works as the first extruder. Using the Edge firmware dated 25-July-2014, Config file follows. Pronterface temperature graph shows good values for Ex0, Ex1, Bed.
Am I missing something?
