[3.4.0rc1] DWC and RRF feedback/bug report

@maxgyver are you running in standalone mode or with attached SBC?

Do you have an attached PanelDue, and if so, is the M291 message displayed on that?

Do you have just one DWC session to the Duet, or more than one?

I am running with attached SBC (RPI4+RPI Display) So I am running two DWC sessions at once most of the time. The messages do not show up on the RPI Display as well.

M291 S3 messages are not being displayed in DWC when called from a macro (with or without if statements), start.g or command line.

I can also confirm that M291 Was working through all the betas.

@maxgyver Can you please share some demo macros that let me reproduce this problem? I tried different M291 S combinations, multiple browser sessions, and a PanelDue as well. M291 inside an if block worked for me, too.

I have also noticed regular short pauses of roughly 500ms during printing moves. The issue is more prominent during the first few lines of a Print. I did not notice this during jogging the axis or when running a simple speed test macro that is moving the printer's axis at increasing speeds. I am printing in closed loop mode at the moment. Pressure advance, heater feedforward and input shaping are deactivated.

I have a 6HC Mainboard+SBC + 3HC Expansion (RRF 3.4.0rc1) + four 1HCL v1.0 Boards (RRF 3.4.0rc1+2)

EDIT: I just did another test. In open loop mode, the described pauses do not happen!

Most of my macros use M291. They all worked flawless in b7. None of them works in rc1.

Here are some examples:

Change Material Tool0.g
bed.g
M291 Test.g

The "M291 Test" Macro shows the M118 messages until M291 S3

EDIT: And blocking M291 can be continued by sending M292. So the issue is really just the message box not being displayed.

@maxgyver thanks for those macros. I've tested the M291-test.g file on a MB6HC in standalone mode with one DWC session and a PanelDue. It works for me except that if I close the Test2 message in DWC as soon as it appears then the Test3 message does not appear.

chrishamm

@maxgyver Thanks, but all three macros complete as expected on my rc1 setup. Can you disable your adblocker (in case you're using one) and check if that has any effect? Every single message box showed up as intended both on rc1 and my latest rc2 candidate.

PS: When the message box is supposed to be shown but it isn't, it may be worth having a look in the JS console as well (open via F12).

@maxgyver @oozeBot I just finished two new preview builds for DWC for SBC and standalone mode. I did find potential problems in the message box component but they've never shown up on my test setup, so please check if this version fixes your problem.

This is the correct link for the standalone version.

@chrishamm

unfortunately the new version did not fix the issue:

I tried Chrome and Firefox with all plugins/Adblocker disabled.

I also ran a macro containing M291 and was able to log the attached error report from the browser console. log.txt

@maxgyver please see this post https://forum.duet3d.com/post/271971 and run the test I described there.
