I'm having a similar problem with my extruder not turning, but my movement axes working okay. I'm putting a RepRap duet V0.8.5 onto a Replicator 2.
My firmware is the "RepRapFirmware FIRMWARE_VERSION: 1.09m-dc42 ELECTRONICS: Duet 0.85 DATE: 2015-12-08"
I'm using Slic3r with Pronterface right now and I'm getting very inconsistent behavior, especially day-to-day when I come back to work on it again.
Sometimes I get the "Attempting to extrude with no tool selected." message, sometimes I don't. It seems pretty random like sometimes I have to type T0 after I get the error and it goes away, sometimes it works on the intitial upload with no problem, sometimes it still gives me the error message after I type T0 again. It's literally a crapshoot every time.
Maybe it's because I'm saving my gcode to dropbox which is taking a little bit of time to write over the old file before I quickly load it into Pronterface to test new edits. I think my problem might just be in assigning tools (between the M563 line in the Config.g, and T0 with M563 S1 in the Start gcode), but I don't know where. My extruder basically stays locked during the print and I can't feel it turn except for a moment right when I press print when the current locks it up.
Even today, for example, my Slic3r crashed, I reopen it, reloaded my printer .ini profile bundle, and now the same little cube is printing just the perimeter and not doing any infill while it was fine yesterday...
My config.g file is attached and my start code is simply:
G92 X75 Y75 Z0 E0
M302 P1 ;allows cold extrusion with RepRap, otherwise "M302" alone works
T0 ;selects tool0
;M563 S1 ;allows for tool nomenclature compatibility between Slic3r and RepRap (Tools 0&1 vs Toos 1&2)
I don't even want to do homing yet because my endstops are still screwed up, fortunately for my purposes I don't actually require them to work to get printing.
Any advice on how to properly get the extruder assigned and turning would be greatly appreciated!!
