G-code magic for advanced homing?

@monster What version of DWC are you running?

It may be you have an older version of DWC. Initially when pressing tab it was putting in the wrong indentation. In that case you either need to update DWC and redo those indented lines with the tab key or replace those tabbed indents with 4x spaces.

@bot
That axis gets unhomed I did figure out. That is sad.
But hey, how come both parts of IF are executed - that is quite a feature
I tested it now with messages (which aren't working correctly them-self) and with sounds. Seems like IF is out of scope
I guess what is left is what you said "tell the toolhead to go to the X10 Y10 position at the beginning of the homing script."
But then again once home requested it might be invalidated by unhoming all. I need to test it...

bot

@monster Ha! You're right, it might not be able to make any move whatsoever because of the unhomed flag.

littlehobbyshop

@monster did you try replacing those indents with 4 spaces?

monster

@bot hold on a sec! This part I already know! Basically if it homed before that my command in homing subroutine go to X10 Y10 works! So perhaps it is unhomed but still knows where is 10,10....
Bit weird though.

bot

@monster That is very interesting. So it moves to X10 Y10 if homed, and then continues with the script? But it omits the X10 Y10 movement if not homed?

Perhaps, as you say, it's not getting flagged as unhomed right away, and you need to indent the script as @littlehobbyshop says.

Nope:

if !move.axes[0].homed || !move.axes[1].homed || !move.axes[2].homed
    M300 S300 P200 
else
    M300 S100 P200

This plays (via webui) S100 sound

if !move.axes[0].homed || !move.axes[1].homed || !move.axes[2].homed
    M300 S300 P200 
;else
;    M300 S100 P200

and this plays S300 sound

Not exactly.
If homed before then it goes to 10,10 and then by relative moving goes to 0,0
if not homed then (i believe) it takes that X10 Y10 to move 10mm in opposite direction (away from end swithces) and then by relative moving still gets parked on 0,0

monster

@littlehobbyshop is there way to see a value of variable?
display it in message?
or much better would be to display it in log?
something like
"log move.axes[0].homed"
by anychance?

@monster This does beg the question, if an axis is homed, why do you want to home it again? Or am I missing something?

GCode meta commands are not yet supported by DSF, so for now on Duet 3 they only work in standalone mode. You need one of the RRF 3.01 release candidates to use them, but you are running 3.0. That's also why your m409 command doesn't work.

Well, this is good question ofc
Answers rather "creative"

Let's say I powered printer up, pushed home button.
After that a print would like to re-home it before starting - that is reasonable.
Or I simply ordered heads to move and now want to re-park them

There might be few more ideas why but of course you may say that they are not very needed and can be worked around, that is true.
So I guess best answer I could give is - why not? :)))) Just for sake of exercise on printer control

Is there a good way not to miss actual release?

Yes, go to https://github.com/dc42/RepRapFirmware and click on Watch.
