@baenwort said in per filament load/unload with multiple extruders per nozzle:

Since my macros are extruder specific I presume I need a variable in the filament area unload.g to tell which tool that filament is loaded in and select the right macro?

The example code should work as is in that regard. The FW will automatically refer to the extruder which is currently activated by tool selection. Is it even possible to select the unload filament menue from an inactive or standby tool?

@alankilian That's a great tip - Thanks.
@o_lampe Thanks for the link.

@gixxerfast said in M671 definition with gobal variable problem:

M671 X{global.posZ1,global.posZ2} Y{global.posY,global.posY} S5

Worked, sort off..

instead of X1:X2 Y1:Y2 it has to be parsed as Leadscrew1 (X1,Y1) and Leadscrew2 (X2,Y2)

M671 X{global.posZ1,global.posY} Y{global.posZ2,global.posY} S5

So X and Y could lean to error if parsed as variable

@psychotik2k3 it is for all macros. When any macro starts executing, various parameters are saved and then restored when the macro finishes or aborts. The list of these parameters includes the relative/absolute axis movement flag, the relative/absolute extrusion flag, the feed rate, the inches/mm flag, and the plane selected for arc moves.

New keys are being added to the object model with each release as it is developed. You may wish to update to 3.4 betas to see what else new has been added. You can get a read back of the object model from the plugin or by sending M409

@fcwilt
it lives ... it breathes

the {} were the solution

many many thanks: D

No, but maybe in 3.5.

for PrusaSlicer and Ideamaker its super Easy ;)=

@zapta

@t3p3tony @dc42

You guys are fabulous thankyou!!!!

@t3p3tony I thought it was probably running completely then pausing because it moved, dwelled, then popped up saying it was paused. I tried offloading the dwell and resume to another macro and calling that instead which seems to have removed the noticeable dwell but it doesn't resume so it's hard to tell if it's doing anything. I guess I'll just have to retry when it gets added

@t3p3tony Understood 🙂

@quicksilverstar also set https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/GCode_Meta_Commands for conditional gcode commands and variables.

@dc42 Thank you very much! worked perfectly

@mikeabuilder thanks. best place is intially a post in the firmware wishlist category here.

@dc42 @T3P3Tony Wow! Fixed in minutes, in spite of all the 3.4 development happening: that's next level. I really appreciate this! 👍

@messiahman have you rechecked your probe trigger height? thats the z value in G31

@t3p3tony said in sensors.endstops[4].triggered not set until macro exit:

I understand, my point is when you go through the while loop its unlikely to actually ever match the condition during the brief point that the stall occurs

Thanks! at this point, checking the position seems to be the only way to verify that the stall has occurred

@achrn said in params not working consistently RRF3.3.0:

Thank you. Is there a list of safe-to-use parameters?

(talking to myself) It occurs to me this is easy enough to check. From my testing:

A G macro may not use parameters G, M, or T
A M macro may not use parameter M

Someone asked about this macro, so I thought I should post the latest version of it that I am running as we now have variables.
Note that as I'm using a while true loop, daemon.g will only load one and keep looping.
Hence I have some variables to shut off sections.

So in config.g I have

; Global variable to run/not run daemon.g - checked in daemon.g and abort if false if !exists(global.RunDaemon) global RunDaemon = true else set global.RunDaemon = true ; Global variable to run/not run heater checks daemon.g - checked in daemon.g and abort if false if !exists(global.RunHeaterChecks) global RunHeaterChecks = true else set global.RunHeaterChecks = true while heat.heaters[1].current=2000 ; loop until thermistor values are stable G4 P1 if iterations > 10000 ; if it takes more than 10 seconds we have a problem with the thermistor M118 P0 L1 S"Thermistor failed to stabilize in less than 10 seconds" break ;echo "sensor stable time: " ^ state.upTime ^ "." ^ state.msUpTime if !exists(global.LastTemp) || global.LastTemp=null global LastTemp=heat.heaters[1].current ; Set variable to current extruder temp. else set global.LastTemp=heat.heaters[1].current ; Set variable to current extruder temp. G4 P10 if !exists(global.LastCheckTime) global LastCheckTime=0 ; variable for use in daemon.g else set global.LastCheckTime=0 ; variable for use in daemon.g if !exists(global.filamentDistance) global filamentDistance = 0 ; global for use to allow filament to feed for set distance after sensor trips else set global.filamentDistance = 0

In Daemon.g I have

; 0:/sys/daemon.g ; runs continually in background at approximately 10 second intervals ; We have initiated an infinite loop at the start so that we can do things at intervals less than 10 seconds ; daemon.g won't be opened again if it it still running ; everything must be indented by 2 x tabs becasue of the infinite loop at the start to allow checks at intervals less than 10 seconds ; We have created a global variable in config.g called RunDaemon ; If RunDaemon is set to "false" we exit the daemon without running anything. However daemon.g will still try to run every 10 seconds if it exists. if global.RunDaemon == false ;echo "exiting daemon" M99 ; don't run the daemon ;HEATER CHECKS ; this section of daemon.g checks for heater faults ; RRF doesn't currently check for faults when idle but by default will shutdown during printing if temperature excursion is > 15 degrees. ; Note: temp excursion value and time may be manually set using M570 ; checking if temp is rising requires a variable. ; G4 could be used but would also delay anything else in daemon.g ; this way allows other checks to run more frequently if needed however the G4 delays inside the loop will affect the frequency of daemon.g ; We are only checking the heaters every 10 seconds. This can be varied by changiing the global variable global.HeaterCheckInterval ; if the global variable RunHeaterChecks is false, then we skip this section but still run the remainder of the daemon while true if (global.RunHeaterChecks == true) && (global.RunDaemon==true) if state.upTime < 60 break; If uptime is < 60 seconds, break out so all fans etc have time to stabilise. if ((global.LastCheckTime + global.HeaterCheckInterval) > state.upTime) ; if checked in last 10 seconds escape loop and go to rest of daemon.g if present. offset will be zero at startup via config.g ;echo "skipping loop " ^ " " ^ state.upTime ^ " " ^ global.LastCheckTime+global.HeaterCheckInterval if global.LastCheckTime-state.upTime > 60 ; uptime must have rolled over so reset off set to zero G10 P2 Y0 echo "upTime has rolled over.

@chrishamm works perfectly fine thank you for helping me out!
