Sure,

Also, note it is at a horrible angle to show a print... the head blocks it. Camera power cord was very short, and I didn't really care about the content of the vid, just did the script work or not.

Phaedrux · 28 Apr 2020, 05:21

That's great. Can't wait to start using it.

Adrian52 · 7 May 2020, 04:55

Great program, but I still have not got it quite right. I am currently using. /DuetLapse - duet 192.168.1.16 -camera pi -detect pause, with M25 and M400 added to each layer in gcode (easy to do in kisslicer). The problem is that two frames are taken, one when the head is moved away by pause.g, the second a bit later, when the print has resumed. I also get an error message on the console 'm24: cannot print because no file is selected'. It looks as though the m24 is being sent twice.
I have edited my pause.g so that there is no z shift.

Danal · 29 Apr 2020, 16:53

I will take a look. Could you post a section of gcode that includes a pause, and the content of your pause.g and resume.g files, please?

Adrian52 · 29 Apr 2020, 18:13

@Danal Thanks. This is the gcode transition from layer 1 to 2:

Danal · 29 Apr 2020, 18:57

Thanks!

Also.. If you pulled the script from github after Sat Apr 25 21:27:50 CDT, it no longer looks at Z. It looks at layers. Which works MUCH better.

Danal · 29 Apr 2020, 19:01

Aha!

M25 is not for pausing from within a file being printed. Please change these to M226.

Adrian52 · 29 Apr 2020, 20:06

@Danal thanks very much - will give it a go.

Adrian52 · 29 Apr 2020, 20:54

Still getting the same behaviour with M226 in the gcode, with or without z move, using freshly pulled scripts.

Danal · 30 Apr 2020, 00:43

Thanks for checking that, I will give this a look.

Adrian52 · 2 May 2020, 15:03

If you are using the raspberry pi camera, note that it has a default 5 second timeout. If you include -t 1 in the camera parameters, it works much more quickly. I have also started including -ex sports, which uses a fast shutter speed, and -mm matrix, which seems to give a better exposure; -n gives nopreview.
With the faster response, I now sometimes get more than one extra picture per layer - I got 547 for a 0.2 layer benchy, instead of 240.

I will add those to the defaults

Is an effort with pla. Used detect - pause, with M226 in the gcode at each layer change. The extra frames have to be deleted before running ffmpeg again

I don't get it, I don't see that this line changed since forever?!

looks like F-Strings are in from 3.6 only raspbian on pi3b+ latest comes with 3.5.3

@arhi Very interesting, I don't get that, and that line is not a syntax error. Hmmm... Let me think of a way to pin this down.

F-strings are 3.6 python from what I read online, and stretch has max python 3.5.3 ... I'm now going to move to buster and see if it uses newer python

Excellent detective work. I had no idea f was that recent.

arhi · 6 May 2020, 22:57

@Danal I don't use python at all so I don't have anything but what's normally there with the distro... so, troubles with buster too it comes with newer python but again
