Head crashing in RRF3.22
-
I just upgraded to RRF 3.2 and then 3.2.2 from version 3.0 on n E3D toolchanger
I read the Release Notes (and thought I understood them) and the notification that " it should be sufficient to upload file Duet2and3Firmware-3.2.2.zip through the System page of Duet Web Control."
The problem:
under 3.0 and 3.1.1 after homing is complete ,a tool change request picks up the tool and applies the offset, so for example a G1 X150 Y100 Z0.4 moves to approximately the centre of the bed at a height 0.4 mm above the bed surfaceHowever
Under 3.2 Homing was achieved. The tool pick up was successful and the bed immediately moves upwards once the tool is priming on the wiper.
When the G1 command is given the bed is above the nozzle height, the nozzle collides with the bedUnder 3.2.2 I cannot home, the Z home switch never triggers and the bed tries to continue upwards until it stalls ( This may be because the Z home switch was broken by the 3.2 tests, I will take it apart again)
Additionally in 3.2 and 3.2.2 sending Tn P0 ( virtual tool selection) followed by a T-1 results in the bed rising until the Z home triggers. ( this was done before 3.2.2 failed its homing, the zhome switch was working after this trial)
Since I cannot believe that I am the only person trying to 3.22 on a Duet 2 with Duex board, there is obviously something I am missing.
The next steps are to revert to 3.1.1 and check the Z home switch, but I would like to know what change I should have made to the sys files that I obviously did not.
-
Can you share your config files as well?
Does this change from 3.2 perhaps come into play?
If a tool change is requested but changing tool would cause the Z max limit to be exceeded because of the changed tool Z offset, the tool change is now aborted
-
@Phaedrux I thought about that line ( and the"Added lastStopHeight to the Z probe object model") but assumed that the Z Max would be when the bed was at its lowest extent: ie the biggest object one could print. After all, when the toolchanger does a HomeZ there is no tool in the toolhead, the offset of the tool would be irrelevant.
I noticed the problem because I was trying to get a Hermera in T3 running reliably, the offset from Tool 0 seemed to change every time the tool was deployed and I hoped the software upgrade might be part of the solution.
I can now confirm that the last attempt on 3.2/3.2.2 broke the Z homing microswitch...but luckily E3D have recently started selling them in the shop!

It may be helpful to post your four homing files as well using the </> tag.

Just out of curiosity why do you set the offsets of each tool twice?
Thanks.

@fcwilt "Just out of curiosity why do you set the offsets of each tool twice?"
Because I copied the config.g from one published by ( IIRC, DC42) when I was too confused / tired /lazy to upgrade from RRF 2 manually and I really, really wanted to see my Xmas present working... (yup, going on 10 years old)
And , I guess ,that since that was how it had been laid out by someone who knew better than I , I supposed there were probably good reasons to do it that way, like initialising the tools , and it didn't seem to affect the working at the time.And it's a lot easier to find all the tool offsets in one place
Now you mention it, if RRF3 interprets the config by taking the first set of tool offsets and ignoring any subsequent offsets then I would get the results I've been seeing, as if the tools had zero length.

@robinS3 " ........PAUSE FOR EXPERIMENTS"
So, Experiments.
I replaced the Z homing microswitch, left the machine in 3.11, commented out the first set of tool offsets ( X0 Y0 Z0) and with a certain trepidation, homed Z.
No problem.
I then set a tool offset on T0 of 50mm and sent T0 to pick up the tool .
Tpre0 collects the tool
sets to relative moves
Lowers the bed ( but no offset has yet been applied to the tool, hence the warning in Tpren)
resets to absolute moves
and moves out ( the tool is now over the bed at the safeheightTpost0 then moves the tool to the wiper, wipes the tool ,
On completion of Tpostnthe bed rises to 0 (presumably the last height set before TPREn)
And then applies the tool offset setting (very noticeable when there's a 50mm offset)I then reloaded RRF 3.2.2 and repeated the same set of actions.
I got the same results so there doesn't seem to be a problem in normal working
The fault is not reappearing.. I don't now what seems to have cured the system, except that the Hermera tool does not always dock correctly and sometimes you end with a locked but empty toolhead. The fault originally appeared after several such failures,So I shall try to reproduce the failure...or perhaps just get on and print something!

@robinS3
The thread was marked solved, but isn't!If you do a virtual tool pickup (aka Tn P0) and then do T-1; as I did this morning to preheat the tool , the bed homes up and stops when it stalls against the toolhead.
It read a Zheight of -2.35 and had fully compressed the Z probe microswitch and the arms of the tool head were touching the bed
If you then select another tool, it seems that the last bed height may be set to -2.35 so that when the system puts in the tool offset on completion of Tpostn it is set in reference to the last bed height, expecting that to have been either a real tool (subtract tool offset and get the Z homed position) or Zhome itself.
Console records:

19/02/2021, 08:47:11 Connected to toolchangerWhat it doesn't show is that this time I did a Z home (button click) after the T-1 so T0 seems to have the correct bed alignment ( so console doesn't catch everything!)
It gets a bit more complicated later, yesterday I was about to print after a random series of virtual and real pickups when the toolhead failed in a real pickup of Tool 3, my Hermera tool. I noticed the retracted (and toolless head) appeared way off axis.
The Dashboard indicated X=302.1 and Y=200 , correct for this head in the Tpostn position (it doesn't wipe yet because I don't have a dynamic wiper that applies tool offset ) but it was off by the tool offsets ( ie moving the tool in X to 302.1 +19.72 lined up the coupler and the tool and adding the Y offset to (so it appeared to be at Y270 when it normally picks up at Y227) . However the coupler is now locked because it thinks it has a tool coupled, so unlock the coupler, go to docking position and try to drop the tool and as the toolhead retracted it dragged the tool off the dock. ( typically this is because the alignment is not exactly right, and my maths may have been 'rounded')
So I switched off the machine, had a cup of tea and switched everything back on without virtual pickups etc. It printed using the Hermera.
However, a word of warning....don't use TnP0, T-1, Tn sequences immediately after Z homing, and if you do, add another XYZ home in before relying on your tool offsets.
I also discovered (too late) that G10 P3 will print all the tool offsets applied to the Tool P3. (It's implicit in the RRF practice but not explicit in the documentation for G10)

The thread was marked solved, but isn't!
If you mean this thread, as it is your thread you can change it to unsolved.
