@chrishamm using curly brackets works, thank you!

@gloomyandy thanks for pointing that out - I did not keep that sentence in mind when I read this page.

Then I consider this question answered for now... the only open question is: why does it work as it should after the slow-motion exercise?

Edit: in case someone stumbles upon this: this thread here (https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/18010/duet-3-stealthchop-2-tuning-for-nema23/27) describes the problem in more detail (sadly, no real solution there as well from what I can see, just a nice video where @fractalengineer got his stepper to croak the Star Wars melody 🤣 )

2nd Edit: Instead of following the advice "all three values equal" on https://docs.duet3d.com/User_manual/Connecting_hardware/Motors_tuning I used the following values:

M569 P0.0 D3 H5 V25 ; H set to a low value to keep microstepping active (5 simply worked fine for me...), V set to a value *above* the maximum printer speed (check with M569 P0.0) M915 P0.0 T1 ; T set to a low value to disable CoolStep

My problem wasn't caused by the 1HCl board.
Instead daemon.g simply doesn't run often enough to catch a changed value in the object model in time.

I found the issue:

I have another axis defined, which I don't use for normal printing.
If this axis is not homed then pause.g isn't executed.
Homing all axis solves my issue

@p8blr This is planned for v3.6, see https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/issues/765

T3P3 created this issue in Duet3D/RepRapFirmware open Allow aborting macros Including homing moves - "not quite an emergency, but STOP" #765

@p8blr Noticing that the printer is running the first G1 BEFORE the M291 as if it's not blocking. If the printer isn't homed, it complains that the axes aren't homed. However, this only seems to be the case with Upload & Start, if I run the print from the jobs queue, I do not get these errors. Interesting that it's also skipping the M116

Edit: I take that back, just got the same error as before running from the job queue.

@dc42 Probably.
But the random "freezes" I'm experiencing shouldn't be related to that, as I'm now on the official release version, right?

@engikeneer I believe this is fixed in 3.5.0-rc.1.

@nikscha currently commanding torque mode does not enable the driver, hence the need to command M17 or a normal move first. I will raise a Github issue about this.

https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/issues/911

dc42 created this issue in Duet3D/RepRapFirmware open EXP1HCL torque mode doesn't enable the driver #911

@misterjtc this is being worked on, but at this stage I don't know which improvements will be ready in time for the next 3.5 release candidate and hence in 3.5 stable.

@davidjryan Thanks for reporting this, it will be fixed in the next version.

@gloomyandy MB6HC with 4x 1HCL and 1x 1LC, was on 3.4.6 before.

@dc42 Thank you - that seems to work. A value of 100 seems to give a nice result on this model.

@Aurimas like that but without the M400 commands. Also you can have a block of G1 commands after each M596 command rather than just one.

@dc42

I am using the latest version of the firmware, 3.4.6.

Here I have created a post regarding the pausing: link.

Edit:
fccf6844-3430-4cc3-8f3a-48fa116e38d3-obraz.png
I have gone through the information regarding daemon.g on the docs page once more. Is it possible that a G4 S30 is making the code to be 'a loop that takes a long time to complete'? I assumed that no matter the parameter of G4, it will return the control to the main process.

I will try to redo my daemon.g to contain a loop with shorter pauses, instead one G4 command.

@chrishamm said in [3.5.0-rc.1] plugin will not install:

@stuartofmt I don't know why those www files are owned by spi, they should be owned by dsf. The plugin service runs as dsf, too. Also, user 1001 doesn't seem legit.

Setting everything under /opt/dsf with chown -R dsf:dsf * fixed it but ...

I have seen this with another recent install where the owner was 1001:colord . So it seems a bit random.

This was on a fresh install of bullsey and using the following script to install. Maybe something in the underlying duet3d install script ? P.S. I just noticed I had apt-get in the last few instructions but doubt that is the culprit.
