Not loading macro from G-code

Kryckan

I hope I just missed something here.
I have made a macro for the start of the print.

; Ready printer and calibrate bed
M83 			; Set extruder to relative moves
G21 			; set mm units
G90 			; set absolute coordinates
G28 			; Home Machine
M561 			; Clear any bed transform
G1 X140 Y117 F8000 	; Go to center of bed
G1 Z10 F8000 		; Go to 10mm over bed
G30 			; Probe bed and set Z-height
G29 			; Run mesh compensation
M593 F80. 		; Set Dynamic Acceleration Adjustment to 80Hz

; Extrude anchor
M703			; Set filament parameters
G1 X0 Y0 F5000		; Go to home origo
G92 E0.			; Zero exreuder
G1 Z0.6			; Move nossle down
G1 E45. F500 		; Extrude anchor
G92 E0.			; Zero extruder
G1 E-1.3 F25		; Retract filament
G1 Z10.0 F300 		; Move platform down 5mm
G1 Y20. F3000 		; Move away from the anchor
M99			; Go back to main program

Wen I run this in console, the macro starts.

 M98 P"0:/macros/start_of_print.g"

But when I have the same command in a program:

....
G90
M83
M106 S0
M140 S60
M190 S60
M104 S215 T0
M109 S215 T0

M98 P"0:/macros/start_of_print.g"

; process Process1
; layer 1, Z = 0.300
T0
; feature skirt
; tool H0.300 W0.480
G1 Z0.300 F120
.....

The duet returns:

Warning: Macro file 0 /macros/start_of_print.g not found

Any ideas?

Board: Duet WiFi 1.02 or later
Firmware: RepRapFirmware for Duet 2 WiFi/Ethernet 3.01-RC4 (2020-03-16b1)
Duet WiFi Server Version: 1.23

It looks like whatever is sending the "program" is stripping out the colon. How are you sending it?

You could try: M98 P"/macros/start_of_print.g"

BTW there is already a file "start.g" that gets called automatically at the start of a print from SD card.

Okay, so I think the error is not in Duet.
I was trying to start the print from my Repetier Server attached to the Duet. Seems like there is something getting wrong in the fransfer.
I think it removes the colon and maybe the quotes?
When I upload the G-code directly to the duet, it runs fine.

Damn! You are so fast at answering in the forum! I just love it!

Ahh, so the start.g would be a better place to set the macro then. I will try that.
Thanks.

Turns out I don't have a Start.g in the file system. ... and the cancel.g is just a bunch of HTML? Just got a load of errors when canceling the job.

Strange because I just flashed the Duet a week ago. Think I need to go over the file system.
Is the Start.g supposed to be in the system folder?

Yes, in /sys. But it only gets called when you start a print from the SD card, not if you print through Repetier Server.

@dc42

M98 P"/macros/start_of_print.g" works in Repetier Server.

Thanks.
