  In a previous life, I was the admin of a large computer network. One of the best features of the Cisco gear we used was the command "show tech-support". It spits out a huge text file with the entire configuration of the device, along with a number of diagnostic command outputs, error and operation logs, component temperatures, version info, etc. The file could either be used in-place for diagnostics or sent to Cisco tech support for further analysis, sidestepping a lot of back-and-forth with the support people. It occurred to me that it would not be that hard to achieve something similar, either implemented in firmware or else done in DWC. That file, uploaded to the forum (perhaps via an automated mechanism direct from DWC?) would provide a huge amount of troubleshooting data very easily. Even better would be a way to unpack that data into a visualiser/validator tool that showed common issues, potential conflicts, firmware upgrade 'gotchas', etc. Again, this is something we had with Cisco where complex configurations led to difficult-to-spot and subtle issues. I appreciate that this is not trivial to implement but it wouldn't have to happen all at once and, once done, might actually cut down on the time spent troubleshooting, especially with 'new user'-type issues. adavidm

  @gtj0 said in M106/7 P parameter & tool changes: You can use M563 to associate fans to tools: https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Gcode#Section_M563_Define_or_remove_a_tool If you use the "F" parameter to set the physical fan for the tool, then that will be the default fan when that tool is selected. That's the answer, I think. Thanks for the replies, folks.

  @dc42 said in GCodes for the next-generation Duet: I don't see any need to change how tools and mixing ratios are defined. It's things that relate directly to I/O pins that need to change. Ahh OK. Light is beginning to dawn....... BTW I like what you are planning to do with temperature sensors being independent of heaters.

  They do it in Fusion 360, but only for turning the laser off 8-( : But this is easy to fix with a custom Postprocessor. G0 S255 M4 G0 S50 M4 G1 S0 also in Fusion change is quite low as you can only define one power setting per action. Other tools like laserweb use the S parameter in a much more aggressive way for laser raster (grbl): G1 X0.10 Y0.10 S0.0000 X0.20 S57.4706 X0.40 S57.8562 X0.60 S58.2353 for smoothieware it uses a value between 0 und 1.0 for S : G1 X0.10 Y0.10 S0.0000 X0.20 S0.5765 X0.40 S0.5739

  For some reason the Duet was unable to read the file www/reprap.htm. This could mean that the SD card failed to mount - but then it wouldn't have executed config.g, so it wouldn't have processed the M552 S1 command to connect to your router. I suggest you consider the possibility that your SD card may be on the way out, so back up all the files on it and have another SD card ready.

  If the IN pin allows you to control the laser power right down to zero, then I suggest you feed the Duet PWM output pin (the one you specified in the M452 command) into that pin. You could use a separate GPIO pin to do on/off switching at the start and end of a job too if you like. Alternatively, if the cutting speed is slow you could wires it as you have done for Smoothie but reduce the PWM frequency. Please note, RepRapFirmware does not yet adjust the PWM during acceleration and deceleration the way Smoothieware does. I plan to implement that before the 2.02 release. However, I'd like to get some feedback on the current implementation first, so that I know it is basically doing the right thing before I make any changes.

  In practice it doesn't matter whether the trace is cut or not, because the Duet normally tolerates receiving 5V into the STP pin of an endstop input. However, it is only on the 1.04 boards that we can guarantee that 5V won't damage the board.

  I'm glad you sorted it. The MAC addresses normally used by the Duet have the "Locally administered" bit set, because they are not assigned by a manufacturer of Ethernet chips. Perhaps this is what your router was objecting to. @v0i9viper said in duet 0.85 no network unless I change the MAC Address: I still get a 4mm z offset from somwhere when running mesh compensation. all probee values are 4.XX instead of 0.xx. weird. What type of Z probe are you using; and how do you home the Z axis?

  @jacotheron Thank you for a detailed reply. I really hope you didn't write all that just for me. I basically agree with you about all you wrote. I did my research and read a lot of forums, different opinions and articles. I wish you would've seen MPCNC I mentioned before your reply - it could've saved you a bit of writing. I agree with you about using NEMA17 motors for a router being weak but MPCNC uses 5 NEMA17 - 2 on X and 2 on Y axis. Also if you check the gallery or forums it seems it works well for wood routing, even aluminum. The guy that developed all that recommends NEMA17 53Ncm or 59Ncm, Dewalt 660 (600W) router and RAMBo board but I really would like to use DuetWifi because it is more powerful, can be extended in the future and has wifi. I really don't care about speed, the machine could work all day and night for all I care. It will be used a few times a month. Later on I could improve performance, buy a spindle, new motors, build another frame, whatever. This is my first CNC experience and I just wish I could make a working machine for as little money as possible so I can play around. The only thing that worries me now is electronics and software.

  Just a quick update as to the progress: My DuetWIFI and PanelDue have arrived. I have also received my BondTech extruder and BLTouch sensor. These, of course, are some major players in the build. Last night I took the time to cut all of the aluminum v slot (openbuilds.com) and brought them back to the studio. If you have never cut aluminum, I will tell you that it creates a massive amount of "glitter" and I will be cleaning my shop of it for months to come. LOL! (This photo was before I cut it to square the ends.) Here it all is cut and waiting to be tapped. So, now I start to assemble the frame! It is going to take longer than I want as I need to film the entire process for our YouTube channel, but it will be worth it! Stay tuned!

  What is means is that the master list at https://reprap.org/wiki/G-code lists two meanings for each of those codes, and RepRapFirmware doesn't implement the second one.
