DuetWifi; no tool selected

tenaja

So, in hopes of using variables, I updated my DuetWiFi to 3.1.1. The upgrade seemed to work fine, except now, using the same gcode, I get an error "No tool selected".

I have a T1 in the code, and do not see a change in tool selection, and m563 is still used.

Any "obvious" place to look?

Thanks!

Maybe run the code with M98 and see if there are errors before the T1 which prevents execution?

Thank you for the suggestion. I tried running a macro file, and had a copy in both the Macros folder as well as the Jobs folder, and I got an error "File not Found".

I was able to get the macro to run by entering the full file path. I still get the error "Attempting to extrude with no tool selected."

I also tried issuing a tool command in the Console, as well as through the terminal, and even included another one in the "macro call" file. Still, no extruder moving.

@tenaja maybe you have T0 defined rather than T1? Post your config so we can see if everything is defined correctly.

I did not change this after the FW update, so unless tool numbering changed, it has to be something else. But, despite this, I had already considered and tried T0, and it gave the same error.

Here is my config. I deleted the network setup, but it does work, both before and after the 3.1.1 update. Note, I am not using any heaters.

@tenaja your config.g is not sufficiently updated for RRF 3. You need to define the motors with M584, and update your endstop settings. See https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/RepRapFirmware_3_overview#Section_Summary_of_what_you_need_to_do_to_convert_your_configuration_and_other_files

Edit: in other words, define the extruder motor with M584, because it isn’t defined at the moment, so there’s no tool as you have defined it only with a non-existent extruder drive. You’ll have more success if you use the configuration tool. Run M98 P”config.g” to show errors in config.g, though this won’t show missing commands.

Might want to generate a config set using the web tool to get a good example of the syntax for RRF3 to compare against.

Ian,
Thank you for the suggestions. I ran through the config, and filled in the blanks as possible, but received the same error.

I believe my biggest problem is this is not a printer, and the config tools (and help files) are not really setup to handle devices that are not printers. There are numerous configurations required in setup that simply do not exist--such as "tools", heaters, endstops, and all the other goodies that a 2-axis "cnc machine" simply does not have or need.

The way I arrived at my original config was to use the config tool, and deleted the unnecessary "clutter".

Re-running the config with the new version did not produce a functioning config file. I could not get the E axis to move regardless... so I just remapped it to A, and now it works. I prefer not to do things like that, but sometimes you just have to quit wasting time.

I really do appreciate the time you took to help me. This forum has always had people willing to assist.

@tenaja If you could describe your machine requirements (you say 2 axis CNC, but with one rotation axis?), and post your config.g as it stands now, I'll have a look and see if it can be improved. Do you need to use the extruder axis? It looks like you're trying to use it as a spindle? Or is it to turn the spindle to follow a line (so not really a spindle, more to turn the cutter in the correct direction)?

Also, you said earlier when you posted your config.g:

I deleted the network setup

If you mean you have M587 in your config.g, you need to remove this from your config anyway. As well as being a security hazard, writing the access point parameters to WiFi chip every time you start the Duet may eventually wear out the flash memory.

try running config.g after boot up and see what errors you get:
