Cannot print anymore

That is why I stop upgrading the firmware now unless I have an issue that the revised firmware fixes. If it already works, I stop upgrading just to get to the latest and greatest bugs.

Shadow, while being at the cutting edge is not always a good idea I agree, in this particular case it was not an issue in 1.17b but a absolute vs relative extrusion mismatch

Haaa, I've already had to unsolder and soler in a new processor, I'll be the guinea pig. I'm also a software engineer by trade so I expect bugs. If everything works perfect the product life cycle was Way too long and should have been shelved long ago.

Sorry, it is happening again.
This time after I completed a print. Redid something in the model, reprinted it and boom, server crashed and extruder stepper going back and forth.
I have M83 in my start file, in fact it is in there twice I saw. So retried with only 1, no difference.I had to switch off the printer and leave it for 10 mins before it would print normally again. Switching it off, waiting 10 sec's and switching it on again, did not solve it.

@Lykle,
I notice that way back near the top of the first page of this thread, you gave your start gcode which has this line
M80 ; lights on
What is that all about? A quick look at the wiki tells me that M80 is used to turn an ATX power supply on from standby. Have you got some sort of lights that run from a separate power supply? Could this line be screwing things up for you? Can you comment it out and see if that fixes the issue?

Good point.

Lykle please send a link to your gcode, and config.g cheers

I think the "M80; lights on" goes back to Lykle's BI V2.5 printer default settings before he upgraded to DuetWifi. The BI printers running the Rumba board used the ATX on/off commands (M80/M81) to turn on and off the LED lights. Repetier had a nice button on the screen, so they hijacked that command as the LED switch.

Thanks lykle
From the point of view of the configuration the config.g and the start gcode both set the printer to relative extrusion. the file is also sliced for relative extrusion so thats all good.
I don't think this is the issue but I noticed that your config.g is for a delta printer but you have a different maz speed for your Z axis than your X/Y these three axis should all be the same.
You have a M501 at the end of your config.g - whats in your config over ride gcode file?

Thank for the speed comment. I will make them identical. Never gave it any thought,
I notice that I can print normally now, but I have to do a Home before I can print, otherwise the extruder starts misbehaving. This is not a real problem, but it seems to be new. I don't remember eve having this issue, but I am back at 1.15b so I must have just happen to miss it during that time.
Anyway, thanks for the help.
