Octoprint

[oliof]

@andy-cohen using Duet boards with a gcode sender like Octoprint is rare because it limits the capability of RRF to control the print unlike with DWC. You could either do OctoLapse with a timed trigger, or look into DuetLapse as an alternative.

@oliof Using Octoprint limits RRF? How? Does it not call macros? If it’s real time control as in cancel or speed or pause that’s ok… so long as my macros are called such as on a toolchange.

@andy-cohen see https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/RepRapFirmware/RepRapFirmware_overview#printing-over-usb-connection-octoprint-cura-simplify3d-etc

@oliof I see. Thank you. I looked at the Duetlapse docs. It does not do what I need. Octolapse does. It’s an easy trade off.

[Andy Cohen]

@andy-cohen Octoprint attaches all automatically and it works with zero issues.
However, Octolapse? Not. It comes back saying that my FW does not have the M114 command which Octolapse requires. AFAIK RRFW has the M114 command.

You mean get current position?

@andy-cohen maybe you need to set RepRapFirmware to Marlin compatibility mode with M555 P2, which changes output format of a couple commands. See https://docs.duet3d.com/User_manual/Reference/Gcodes#m555-set-compatibility

[Andy Cohen]

@oliof Good idea! Will try!

[Andy Cohen]

@phaedrux yup. The developer says its used for timing. Not sure, but I do know that I get really awesome vids using Octolapse.

@oliof Nope. Did not work. Good idea though.
