RepRapFirmware 3.01-beta 3 released

[dc42]

Get it from https://github.com/dc42/RepRapFirmware/releases/tag/3.01-beta3.

Users of RRF 2.x are reminded that you cannot upgrade directly to this release, you have to upgrade via RRF 3.0; and that substantial changes to config.g are needed when transitioning from RRF2 to RRF3.

I can now see Fans 0,1 & 2 in DWC which weren't there in beta2. Is this something to do with:

A fan that hadn't explicitly been configured using M106 with some parameter other than P or S was reported to DWC as being non-controllable

If I comment out these lines from config.g they disappear

M950 F0 C"fan0"     ; Default Fan definition as these were removed in RRF 3.01beta1 (V38)
M950 F1 C"fan1"     ; Default Fan definition as these were removed in RRF 3.01beta1 (V38)
M950 F2 C"fan2"     ; Default Fan definition as these were removed in RRF 3.01beta1 (V38)
 

Apart from fan0 on the Duet which is the part cooling fan by default all my other fans are on the Duex. Fans 4 & 5 are thermo controlled and therefore invisible, Fan 3 is LED lights and is manually controlled so visible.

The current version of DWC makes fans 0, 1 and 2 visible by default if RRF reports them as controllable. To make other fans visible, click on the Change Visibility link in DWC. In RRF3 you can of course map fans 0, 1, 2 to whatever outputs you wish.

We are having discussions on which fans to make visible by default, so this may change in a future version of DWC.

[tekkydave]

Ok, thanks. I don't want to see fans 0-2 so I'll just delete the 3 M950 commands.
Presumably this doesn't apply to fans on the duex.

Yes, only use M950 to create fans you only want to use. Bear in mind that Fan 0 is the default print cooling fan; but in RRF3, Fan 0 can be on the DueX if you wish.

I have my part cooling fans on the Duet as they are 24V (Vin = 24V). The other fans are all 12V so connected to the Duex. It's handy to have the option of 12 or 24V for fans that the Duex gives.

Hi,
I tried the new meta commands the first time but run in some error message:

M98 P"0:/macros/test"
Error: in file macro, line 5 column 5: 'elif' did not follow 'if

The macro is a simple test:

if state.currentTool = 0
	M106 P9 S0.10
elif state.currentTool = 1
	M106 P9 S0.20
elif state.currentTool = 2
	M106 P9 S0.30
elif state.currentTool = 3
	M106 P9 S0.40

In generally it is working to the right command it issued for each tool. But every time I get the error message

[dc42]

I confirm this issue. It appears that when you have multiple 'elif' parts, if there are multiple 'elif' parts after the 'if' or 'elif' with the true condition, the error message is generated on the second one. So if the condition on line 1 is true, the error is generated on line 5; and if the condition on line 1 is false but the condition on line 3 is true, the error is generated on line 7.

I will fix this in the next beta.

Based on the description, that must have been a challange to track down. So much so, that I'm looking forward to the github commit to see the before/after code.

One more question:
When is the state.currentTool updated?

After the tpre.g or after the tpost.g?
Normally it should after the tpre.g, right?

Based on when tool offsets are active (or not) in the various macros, the machine appears to consider the tool NOT mounted in pre, and to consider it mounted in post. I would expect that state.currentTool would follow.

Of course, @dc42 can give the definitive answer...

That's the intention. It should be set to n-1 just after executing tfree and to the new tool number just before executing tpost.

Yeah tried it today... Working fine

Been printing steadily and haven't seen any issues to report yet. Still tinkering with conditional gcode

This is now fixed, source code committed, and new binaries put on Dropbox.

@dc42 Apparently you and @chrishamm aren't on speaking terms because the DSF doesn't get the current axis coordinates with the latest 3.01betas.

Which DSF version are you using?

Does M408 S2 report the correct coordinates?
