Duet3 config with limit on 7 temp inputs

Danal

You can run M308 with nothing but an S to determine the existing definition.

Try commenting all of these out of your config.g, reboot, and see what M308 S5 (or whatever) tells you as you define each one.

Example from my machine (that has two tools on it at the moment):

12/25/2019, 9:49:20 PM	M308 S0

M308 S7 P"3.temp1" Y"thermistor" T100000 A"Test"
Error: Pin 3.temp1 is not free Using the S308 after defining says that it does not exist.

Hmm, I still get the error after I get past board 2 sensor 0. Also, sensor 0 on board 2 reports 2000C. I just wired it, but I tried swapping thermistors and that did not affect the output.

good idea for troubleshooting though, thanks!

Ok, so I did a little more ~~playing around~~ erm, testing. I found that the 7th sensor always reports 2000C. If I change the IDs of the expansion boards, the problem follows the board with id of 2, so this is not a hardware problem.

Danal

Sounds like a bug, indeed. @dc42 what do you think?

deckingman

My memory is a bit hazy on this but I seem to remember a post from months ago where it was mentioned that there is a limit on the number of temperature channels which can be defined and David increased it. Unfortunately I can't remember what the limit was nor what David increased it to.

RobMink

I am no programmer, but I took a look at the firmware. (I know, famous last words!)
this is in RepRapFirmware.h

#if SUPPORT_CAN_EXPANSION
typedef uint64_t SensorsBitmap;
#else
typedef uint32_t SensorsBitmap;
#endif

static_assert(MaxAxes <= sizeof(AxesBitmap) * CHAR_BIT);
static_assert(MaxExtruders <= sizeof(ExtrudersBitmap) * CHAR_BIT);
static_assert(MaxFans <= sizeof(FansBitmap) * CHAR_BIT);
static_assert(MaxHeaters <= sizeof(HeatersBitmap) * CHAR_BIT);
static_assert(NumDirectDrivers <= sizeof(DriversBitmap) * CHAR_BIT);
static_assert(MaxSensors <= sizeof(SensorsBitmap) * CHAR_BIT);

it seems that using can expansion only doubles the list from the base amount of sensors.

typedef uint64_t SensorsBitmap;
#else
typedef uint32_t SensorsBitmap;
#endif

also, if I am not mistaken,

static_assert(MaxSensors <= sizeof(SensorsBitmap) * CHAR_BIT);

would be 8*CHAR_BIT

I have not looked into the code enough to verify that my hunch is right, I could be totally off base, again, I am no professional programmer!

EDIT: Nope, I think I am off base, never mind!

dc42

I suspect that problem is that you have previously configured sensors on the expansion boards, then rebooted just the main board. Currently, restarting the main board does not restart the expansion boards (this will be fixed in a subsequent 3.x firmware release). So when you change the pin usage in config.g, you may need to press the reset buttons on the expansion boards, or alternatively power the system down, wait until the blue LEDs have gone out, and then power it up again.

RobMink

@dc42 I wish it was the case. I have tried that, and just tried it again, and alas, when I run M308 SN where N is 4-7 I get errors, also, now I am getting two sensors on the 2nd expansion board to read 2000C

@RobMink said in Duet3 config with limit on 7 temp inputs:

M308 S0 P"0.temp0" Y"thermistor" T100000 A"Bed"
M308 S1 P"1.temp0" Y"thermistor" T100000 A"Head0"
M308 S2 P"1.temp1" Y"thermistor" T100000 A"Head1"
M308 S3 P"1.temp2" Y"thermistor" T100000 A"Head2"
M308 S4 P"2.temp0" Y"thermistor" T100000 A"Head3"
M308 S5 P"0.temp1" Y"thermistor" T100000 A"Head4"
M308 S6 P"0.temp2" Y"thermistor" T100000 A"Head5"
M308 S7 P"3.temp1" Y"thermistor" T100000 A"Test"

I don't get any errors when I run that sequence, but there is something not quite right:

26/12/2019, 14:37:52 	M308 S8

When i query the sensors individually, it only prints the sensor name and current reading for sensors connected to the main board. I will look into it.

dc42

I also tried running the second sequence:

M308 S0 P"0.temp0" Y"thermistor" T100000 A"Bed"
M308 S1 P"1.temp0" Y"thermistor" T100000 A"Head0"
M308 S2 P"1.temp1" Y"thermistor" T100000 A"Head1"
M308 S3 P"1.temp2" Y"thermistor" T100000 A"Head2"
M308 S4 P"2.temp0" Y"thermistor" T100000 A"Head3"
M308 S5 P"2.temp1" Y"thermistor" T100000 A"Head4"
M308 S6 P"2.temp2" Y"thermistor" T100000 A"Head5"
M308 S7 P"3.temp1" Y"thermistor" T100000 A"Test"

That works for me too.

Are you sure that you don't have any other M308 commands earlier in config.g?

Thanks, I have reproduced that.

dc42

I found the problem. For now, don't assign heater numbers greater than 5 to ports on expansion boards. Will be fixed in RC2.

RobMink

Nice work, thank you!

dc42

There are new builds of Duet 3 main and expansion board firmware at https://www.dropbox.com/sh/3azy1njy3ayjsbp/AACquxr2m00eV568RZg5QG5wa?dl=0 with this fixed.

RobMink

Confirmed Fixed.
