        I'm glad you are running the right firmware, I'll keep watching this topic to see if anyone else can help you with it. I understand your frustration with having to hit resume every 30 seconds. At the moment I have my magnetic filament sensor set to S0 so it can monitor filament, but it disables the sensor from pausing the print. So it kind of seems pointless to even be running the thing. I need to spend more time figuring it out some time. I hope someone here will be able to help you, they have always been helpful when I have come here with questions.

          Here is my code, as you can see I have lowered the min drastically to try and counteract it stopping but to no avail. At this point I'm just of the mind that if it takes a lot of tweaking and and it's gonna be unreliable it's just not worth the hassle for a stupid filament sensor when a cheap $1 micro switch will do everything fine and reliably.

          I only bought it because I enjoy using high end products and getting the information from it etc....I use nothing but Duet boards on all my printers they are great but this is getting ridiculous

            @57buick, please upgrade to version 2.05 firmware. I added some extra diagnostic information for magnetic filament monitors at version 2.04.

                  In github for RepRapFirmware look for the Releases page.

                    I was trying to figure out my sensors quirks a bit more today, and I updated from 2.04 to 2.05 ( firmware is here: https://github.com/dc42/RepRapFirmware/releases/tag/2.05). I was still having a problem with negative values being reported for the min range on M561 D0, so I reviewed the set up page again. I saw a new argument that I am going to test, but it might help you too.

                    "An (firmware 2.03 and later) 1 = check All extruder motion, 0 = only check extruder motion of printing moves (moves with both movement and forward extrusion)"

                    I'm hoping that this will keep my min range more reasonable, and I thought it might be useful for you too.

                      Thanks, that looks promising, I'll try that

                          @57buick That would be the new DWC 2.0. You can revert to the old version from the settings page. It takes some getting used to and it's still a work in progress. I say give it a chance and if you still don't like it you can swap back tot he old version.
