G29 fails when saving on SBC

[Tapetenhobel]

Hi,
I replaced my Duet2 wifi with the mini and hooked it to a Raspberry Pi 4. Everything is running fine, but one of my macros fails when it's trying to read or save the heightmap.
Errors are:

Jan 23 15:42:33 duet3 DuetControlServer[5006]: [error] G29: Failed to load height map from file : Access to the path '/opt/dsf/sd/sys/' is denied.
Jan 23 15:42:33 duet3 DuetControlServer[5006]: [info] 99 points probed, min error 0.004, max error 0.326, mean 0.157, deviation 0.085
Jan 23 15:42:33 duet3 DuetControlServer[5006]: [info] Height map saved to file heightmap.csv
Jan 23 15:42:33 duet3 DuetControlServer[5006]: [error] G29: Failed to save height map to file : Access to the path '/opt/dsf/sd/sys/' is denied.

I'm using the official image, uploaded my, previously running, macros and the rest of the config, made some final touches and tried to print.
The heightmap.csv is saved, but not with it's new name (65.0C_heightmap.csv) in sys.
Are macros banned from reading and writing to sys?

Can you post the results of m122 please?

Sure:

Can you post the commands or macros you are using the create the heightmap? Does a simple g29 work to create heightmap.csv?

@Phaedrux said in G29 fails when saving on SBC:

Yes, the heightmap.csv is saved, but not with the new name. Loading the map from Console with the full path also works OK.
Here's the macro, I think I found it here somewhere:

It sounds like you upgraded from an older version but for some reason the permissions were not correctly set. Please open a terminal on your Pi or connect over SSH and run this sudo chown -R dsf.dsf /opt/dsf. Then you should be able to save the heightmap again.

I just tried to save a custom heightmap using G29 P"foo.csv" and it worked as expected.

Sorry for the late reply.
Well, that was my first ideal also, so I setup everything from scratch, same result, before I posted here
All the files where uploaded from DWC, so I assume they have their rights set correct.
The problem is: saving the heightmap works itself from DWC's Console, but not from the Macro above.
I realize that the topic is misleading, but I can't change it. To sum it up:

• Saving a heightmap with a different name (G29 P"foo.csv" from Console works fine, no issues
• Reading and saving a heightmap from within a macro leads to [error] G29: Failed to save height map to file : Access to the path '/opt/dsf/sd/sys/' is denied.

@Tapetenhobel The square brackets are not needed so I'd remove them. But thanks for reporting this problem, I can confirm there is at least an issue with G29 (S0) when you attempt to save to a dynamic filename. That will be fixed in the next build but your macro shouldn't be affected anyway. I just tried G29 followed by G29 S3 and it worked as expected on my setup (without square brackets).

check the linux permission and ownership of that folder and the folders leading up to it

[Tapetenhobel]

@chrishamm
OK, I will give it a try and report back. Thanks

[Tapetenhobel]

@chrishamm
OK, obviously removing the square brackets fixed it. Out of curiosity, why are the brackets a problem on SBC?

G29 S0 (or G29 without parameters) does not support a filename parameter. See https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Gcode#Section_G29_Mesh_bed_probe. This facility was supported when G29 was first introduced into RRF, but was removed subsequently because it required additional RAM. Use G29 S0 followed by G29 S3 to probe and save the height map to a named file.
