RRF 3.4 input shaping preview available

skrotz

@dc42 I was able to do a print and captured some stepper errors with debug output. Included is my config.g, the gcode I was printing, and the output logs. Hopefully this helps diagnose the issues some of us are having with RRF 3.4. This was with PA disabled , and input shaping enabled via M593 P"ei2" F41 S0.10

@skrotz thanks for that, it shows clearly some step errors on the extruder drive and that PA was not involved. I will investigate.

I ment this part here:

"if you use different frequencies per axis, the axes will move out of step. But the amount of out-of-step movement may be small enough to be acceptable, especially if the accelerations are low. It makes no difference whether the same or different input shapers are used per axis."

I think it is absolutely necessery and with klipper it also works...

Just for information We want the same perfect shaper here in RRF

i really think that at least different frequencies should be possible because i really don't see how the frequency should be the same on X and Y as the weight in movement is not the same at all, and thus the moment.

@psychotik2k3 could still be that the frequencies are close enough that the wider band from one configuration is enough to improve both X and Y

@dc42 This is exactly what happens in Klipper at high smoothing values. In recent versions, during the calibration procedure, the software gives the recommended acceleration values so that the loss of accuracy is not noticeable. I think it is definitely worth testing how it will look in rrf, even for duet3 only, maybe the loss of accuracy will be acceptable.

With your files I was able to identify and reproduce the problem. It is now fixed and I can run your test print using your configuration without errors.

We will release a new beta with input shaping within the next few days.

@dc42 great! More than happy to test out a pre-release version of it if you put it on the dropbox

I've just put the Duet 2 version at https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ja08b7qdzsl8kjc/AAAwUbkN2XJvurq5CuQTgx5Wa?dl=0. Please try it with care, this doesn't just contain a bug fix for that issue, the units used internally to measure speeds and accelerations have changed. It works OK so far on my delta, but I haven't tried it on a Cartesian or CoreXY machine yet.

@dc42 I installed the new firmware, did some basic homing and movement tests, and all seemed fine, so I went for broke and printed out the calibration cube with both input shaping and pressure advance enabled.. no clunking issues or anything that seemed amiss during the print. However, I still have some extrusion zits (in the same places as before, seems caused by input shaping) and the print looked extremely similar to a non PA enabled print, with slightly bulging corners. M122 after showed no errors but 2 hiccups.

@skrotz thanks for your fast feedback! It has prompted me to check the balance between axis movement and extrusion again, and I have found an issue that may explain those symptoms. More soon.

dc42

@skrotz I have updated the binary at https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ja08b7qdzsl8kjc/AAAwUbkN2XJvurq5CuQTgx5Wa?dl=0 to fix the extrusion issue that I identified.

@dc42 just done calibration cubes, with no extruder problems and no hics or step errors, but appears that pa is not working for me with the latest 3.4

skrotz

@dc42 Unfortunately things look pretty much the same for me with the newest code. Some small extrusion zits or bubbles on the print, and PA doesn't seem like it is working. I did get a few step errors also it looks like, printing out a calibration cube:

=== Move ===
DMs created 83, segments created 35, maxWait 140417ms, bed compensation in use: mesh, comp offset 0.000
=== MainDDARing ===
Scheduled moves 11545, completed moves 11545, hiccups 2, stepErrors 3, LaErrors 0, Underruns [0, 0, 0], CDDA state -1
=== AuxDDARing ===
Scheduled moves 0, completed moves 0, hiccups 0, stepErrors 0, LaErrors 0, Underruns [0, 0, 0], CDDA state -1

Things didn't seem or sound better or worse than previously. There are a couple of clunks I've heard during the prints I did on this firmware and the previous one.. I wasn't sure but now that I've done another print I'm fairly certain towards the end of the print in a couple of spots there was a distinct "clunk" noise, at the same place in both prints.

I will see if I can capture step error data again with this new firmware.

@skrotz and @Adrian52 please send M115 and report the firmware date/time that it reports.

@dc42 here's the log data with some stepper errors:

0725printerlog.txt
config.g
CFFFP_xyzCalibration_cube_205.gcode

on closer inspection the "zits" I'm seeing don't seem related to where the stepper errors occurred. They only seem to happen on the X side of the cube, at occasional points where it is changing direction for the X indented in the cube. It looks like overextrusion as it is a small blob. You have to magnify things to be able to see them, but it's happening a fair bit and is different/worse than RRF 3.3 which looks very clean. It seems to happen in exactly the same place each print, and has been pretty consistent throughout all the various 3.4s I've tried.

@skrotz what PA did you use when you had those step errors? Was everything apart from PA the same as in the config.g file you posted earlier?
