Laser sensor - no celibratiuon data?

Phaedrux

There is some confusion. When you upload a gcode file to the Duet through the web interface (or via slicer) it gets stored on the SD card in the Pi (or on the duet if you're not using the Pi.)

The situation where the sensor will not work is when printing a file directly over a USB connection sending the gcode file one line at a time. You are not doing that so do not worry.

Have you seen this?

Good, I stopped my worries.

Indeed, I used that howto to configure the sensor. I'm printing a file directly from the "jobs" menu, just to be on the save site.

I use this indirect housing for the sensor:
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3673768

I can see that the ball bearing is rotating slowly while the printer prints.

And I think that the sensor detects the filament. The led is flashing with a high frequency and only green. A lot of green and single red flash if the filament is not moving.

I rechecked the wiring: I think that the 3,3V and GND wires must be OK, because that should be the minimum to have a flashing LED. The "OUT" is wired to "io3.in".
Is there any way to debug the signal on that pin? Can I enable some debug logging to see that there is traffic on the "in" pin? Or should I use my oscilloscope? And what should I see there?

@Phaedrux
I'm sorry that I have to bring this topic up again. I still have not figured out what is going wrong at my setup. Is there any way to make sure that that the data wire between the sensor and the board is working? Or what else could be wrong here?

@Chriss, which version of RepRapFirmware are you running?

@Chriss, which version of RepRapFirmware are you running?

Sorry, I have forgotten:

Board: Duet 3 MB6HC (MB6HC)
DSF Version: 3.1.1
Firmware: RepRapFirmware for Duet 3 MB6HC 3.1.1 (2020-05-19b2)

Chriss

@dc42

Any other idea here? I plan to use two of the sensors for my new build. Should I order them and test with one of the new? Just to make sure that it is not a problem with the sensor?

Cheers, Chriss

Please confirm that the tool you are printing with uses extruder 0.
Are you running in standalone mode, or with attached SBC?
Please can you upgrade to firmware 3.2beta4 and try again. If it still doesn't work, post your complete config,g file so that I can replicate your setup.

@dc42 said in Laser sensor - no celibratiuon data?:

Confirmed, I have only one extruder/tool at the printer.

Are you running in standalone mode, or with attached SBC?
In SBC (raspberry attached)

Please can you upgrade to firmware 3.2beta4 and try again. If it still doesn't work, post your complete config,g file so that I can replicate your setup.

Wow.... Yes... I will do that. Give me some time here please. I want to finish the current print first.

I will solve the Error reported in row No. 2 before we start any further actions. I'm very, very sorry! I need to make much more use of "M98" before I open a thread here.

@dc42

Here is the easy way to reproduce the problem:
Connect your extruder to your 3HC and the filament sensor to the mainboard and you will see the "problem".
Connect the sensor to the expantion board and everything works as expected.

(Yes, I need to weak the min / max to work with the ball bearings but this is a other problem where I shall not need any help.

I think that you guys should mention that in the wiki page for the sensor. That will save other people a lot of time.

I have updated the documentation as you suggested.

@dc42

from : https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Duet3dFilamentMonitor_LaserVersion

Connect the filament monitor to one of the IO_ connectors on the Duet 3 mani board or on a tool or expansion board.

"mani" ?

Sorry...

Thanks, now corrected.
