Duet 3 3.2 Beta2 + SBC jerking motion

Garfield

Duet3, attached SBC.

All updates are done via the console of the SBC.

I've attached the config.g but I don't think it adds much - this problem does not exist on 3.1.1 with the exact same file. I verified this behaviour by printing the exact same test piece using the exact same gcode. 3.1.1 does not demonstrate the behaviour.

I didn't keep any pictures of the ripple - I will have to reproduce - I didn't think this was anything other than my problem - reverting the firmware was a last resort, I wasn't expecting the problem to go away.

The test model gcode is too large to upload uncompressed. It is essentially a 5mm thick box, 75mm sides with a 75mm radius on one corner. Be aware though that this prints fine on 3.1.1.

Be aware - this is a gcode file that has been zipped - the extension should be .zip but I couldn't upload that.

I'm going to set up and try to run without the SBC (never done this so result could take a while)

There are some known issues with Beta2 used with SBC. I suggest you revert to Beta1 until Beta3 is available.

Garfield

Appreciated Dave, I was about to report but have refrained since doing so would have been premature - and the kiss of death.

So far running direct with no SBC and 3.2 b 2 I've had a print running 30 mins or so with zero issues so far.

If you need me to do any testing let me know. I've created a completely new SD card to run local and can easily pop the Pi back on.

Garfield

Said it was the kiss of death ....

So no jolts or odd behaviour - except now the print failed 1hr 14 into the print with Error 1 - Cannot read file.

File reads fine via the Duet GUI, can be downloaded, edited, viewed to the end etc etc
File reads fine with the SD card on the PC - scanned with notepad++ - no defects in file -

I will try again and see if it chokes at the same point.

Garfield

Was just a glitch - file has printed fine now for hours ... all print defects are gone, the jolts are gone with the Pi removed from the equation.

Thanks for the confirmation.

I had this issue with the Pi4 plus Duet3 on the 3.2 beta as well, went back to the stable to avoid it. Now after upgrading to 3.2rc1 I am still having this "jolting" issue.
I need to run the sbc as ethernet connection is not an option in my workshop.

Phaedrux

@tristanryerparke Can you give some more details about your setup? config.g, etc.

tristanryerparke

Gantry style five axis machine. Nema23 on X,Y. Nema17 on Z,A,B. Duet 3 mainboard and one toolboard controlling the b axis and z probe.
Dual motors for Y axis, auto squaring with U axis.

RC2 is now out, can you test with that?

tristanryerparke

@Phaedrux Just tried with RC2, no luck and jerks happen in the same places on same file.

Phaedrux

@tristanryerparke I'm just noticing in your config some rather large spacing between some values. Is that intentional? Can you send M98 P"config.g" to check for errors? Can you send some of those commands like M208 or M201 etc by themselves to see if all of the values for all axis are being set as expected?

tristanryerparke

@Phaedrux yes the spacing was large just for readability/comparing values for axes.
I have removed the spacing so config.g now looks like this:

Running 3.2 stable now and the issue is still happening. M98 P"config.g" runs fine with no errors.
Here is video of one of the clunks:
https://youtu.be/egwhWUq8yAg
As you can see the system is not losing steps, it just stops for a fraction of a second without accelerating/decelerating.
Maybe I should make a new thread for this issue?
Let me know.
Cheers,

Is this different than the initial issue?

Are those rotational axis? Did you notice the note in the release notes for 3.2?

tristanryerparke

@Phaedrux I believe this is the same issue as the what the OP had.
I did read the notes for 3.2, A and B axes are rotational and should be defaulting to that within the first M584 command, correct?
I will try now explicitly defining them as rotational.
Also something interesting:
I just started messing around with the M595 command to see if I could fix the clunks.
So far I have tried S=5, S=10, S=50, S=100 and S=1000.
All of these made the clunking way worse!
Very strange.

Ah, sorry, I didn't notice that you weren't the OP.

Yes please create a new thread.
