RepRapFirmware 3.01-RC6 released

[ChrisP]

Im assuming this is a firmware related issue rather that a DSF issue, but I'm not sure.

I've noticed that on powerup, the printer clearly isn't parsing filaments.csv properly as it forgets what filament is loaded. The csv file is there and has the correct information, but the web interface shows no filament is loaded and M701 returns "No filament loaded in the selected tool".

I'm currently running 3.01-RC6 with DSF 1.3.1

edit: loading filament sitll fails to show it on the web interface, but M701 reports correctly

I have upgrade from a fresh raspberry image to RC6. Now I would print, upload works then
Failed to connect to duet3.
DCS is not startet.

Power cycle doesn't work!

For everyone having unexplainable problems using SBC ( @chas2706 might fall under that) AND using my Exec On MCode tool please see: https://forum.duet3d.com/post/143593

Thanks for the info.
I use your Exec On MCode so I definitely fall into that category.

[gruen]

I'm back on RC5.

I'm waiting for RC7.

There are no plans for a RRF 3.01-RC7 release, because there are no known bugs in 3.01-RC6 known yet other than the limitations described in the whatsnew-rrf3 file.

[tobias_munich]

RC6 works for me in standalone mode and is stable.
SBC mode is still unstable.
think the reason is still the current version of the duet framework.

[jmjcoke]

I have tried, sudo service duetcontrolserver restart and I still have Drive is unmounted. Any help on how I can goto RC5 from here, I cannot seem to get duetframework to anything but 1.3.1.

[tobias_munich]

@jmjcoke the problem is not RC6, it’s the Duetframework.
if you run RC6 in stand-alone mode you shoudnt have issues.

[SpoonUnit]

Successfully setup and printed with RC6. Only issue is that my kill switch isn't working. It's setup with this, to invoke trigger2.g:

M581 P"duex.e2stop" S1 T2 C0

Trigger 2 is working if I invoke with M98, and M999 (the only command in the trigger) also does it's job. I've tried all 4 permutations of the command that seem to make sense:

M581 P"duex.e2stop" S1 T2 C0
M581 P"duex.e2stop" S0 T2 C0
M581 P"!duex.e2stop" S1 T2 C0
M581 P"!duex.e2stop" S0 T2 C0

None of them result in activation of the trigger when the button is pressed.

The command executes fine from the console, and worked as intended with RC1. I can't see any reference in the notes for each release between RC1 and RC6 for this, but could have missed something.

Is there a way to simply report on the state of a given pin?

This output doesn't give me confidence it's been made available, but I never needed to investigate to this depth previously, so I'm not sure what the output in RC1 was:

M409 K"sensors.endstops" F"v"

{"key":"sensors.endstops","flags":"v","result":[{"triggered":false,"type":"inputPin"},{"triggered":false,"type":"inputPin"},null,{"triggered":false,"type":"motorStallAny"}]}

I'm not sure where else in the object model to look. Could this be it?

M409 K"inputs[5]" F"v"

{"key":"inputs[5]","flags":"v","result":{"axesRelative":false,"compatibility":"RepRapFirmware","distanceUnit":"mm","drivesRelative":false,"feedRate":50.0,"inMacro":false,"lineNumber":0,"name":"Trigger","stackDepth":0,"state":"idle","volumetric":false}}

If so, I don't see any key there for the value.

Any help appreciated.

[deckingman]

@SpoonUnit Something did change with M581. I'm on a phone right now so not easy for me to say exactly what. IIRC you need to add an M950 with a (I think) J parameter.

[dc42]

@SpoonUnit, read the upgrade notes for 3.01-RC2, or https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Gcode?revisionid=HEAD#Section_M581_RepRapFirmware_3_01RC2_and_later.

[SpoonUnit]

Thanks.

This was the end result of the conversion, which now works.

; buttons
;RRF 3.01 RC1
;M581 P"duex.e2stop" S1 T2 C0

;RRF 3.01 RC6
M950 J1 C"duex.e2stop" ; Define Input J1 for pin duex.e2stop
M581 P1 T2 C0 S1 ; Connect Input J1 (P1) to trigger 2 (T2) always (C0) for inactive to active (S1 - also default)

One source of confusion was that M950 J1 alone reports this, regardless of whether the button is pressed or not:

M950 J1
Pin duex.e2stop, active: true

I guess this is reporting that the pin is active in the model, and not that the pin state is open. Where in the object model will J1 sit once defined? It doesn't seem to be in inputs or sensors.

Also spotted on the M950 example:

M950 J1 C"!^e3stop" ; Input 1 uses e0Stop pin, inverted, pullup enabled

Should this not read that Input 1 uses e3stop, instead of e0stop?

[chrishamm]

@ChrisP Thanks for reporting this, I'll try to reproduce and fix it.

M950 J1
Pin duex.e2stop, active: true

As you have not inverted the input, it should report 'active: true' when the input is high and false when it is low (i.e. shorted to ground).

Where in the object model will J1 sit once defined? It doesn't seem to be in inputs or sensors.

It should already be in sensors.inputs[1].

Also spotted on the M950 example:

M950 J1 C"!^e3stop" ; Input 1 uses e0Stop pin, inverted, pullup enabled

Should this not read that Input 1 uses e3stop, instead of e0stop?

Thanks, I've corrected the example.

[dc42]

I've just tested exactly that configuration: M950 J1 C"duex.e2stop". M950 J1 always reports "active: false" which is incorrect. I will fix this in RC7. M409 K"sensors.inputs" reports it correctly.

[SpoonUnit]

@dc42 Strange I get active:true, regardless of whether the button is pressed or not, whereas you get false. Good to know what you intended for it.

echo sensors.inputs[1].value

Reports true, where I expect it to report false. Regardless, the button is performing its intended function now.

[dc42]

Is the button NO or NC? What's happening is that the button state is being read when the port is created, but then M950 J1 is reporting that initial state, not the current state. I am testing with a NC button, so it's active when the button is pressed. With a NO button it would be active when the button is not pressed, unless you invert the pin.

[SpoonUnit]

I honestly don't know what N0 or NC is. However, I've just had a moment to test and I can see the sensors.inputs[1].value does flip when the button is pressed. I guess my button (just an arcade button) is NO (default:open ?).
