M671 like function for Delta printer

tecno

Manual says:
The console output can be cleared, or downloaded as a plain text or CSV file, from the drop down menu on the right.

Where do these files be saved?

I think, the delta calibration routine already has such bed tramming. But it adjusts the endstops instead.
Look in your config-override.g and find the endstop adjustment values. just have to recalculate these values for a 0.5mm pitch.

I hope, I'm right and I understood your intentions correctly.

@tecno after G30 S-1 object model variable sensors.probes[0].lastStopHeight will be set. You could save those values in local variables, then write them to file use an echo command with redirection.

It is here it goes over my head, where are the files saved Download as

@tecno They are saved to whatever place your browser sets for downloads. I usually have my browser set to ask me where to download stuff (you can change this in your browser's preferences/settings). You can also usually look in the Downloads history to see where it has saved it, if it downloads automatically without asking. Probably your 'Downloads' folder.

Error: Bad command: Echo "Hi Ian"

@tecno lower case 'e' in "echo". However, that doesn't explain why your browser isn't saving the console.txt. What version DWC and RRF?

@droftarts

@tecno your browsers may be set to block downloads? not sure why but i just tested this as well and it works with Chrome on windows.

@T3P3Tony
No problems here with dowload, just tested to dowload stl file from thingiverse.

Can this be a languae problem, my OS is in Swedish.

tecno

Any ideas what is causing this problem??

@tecno
Exactly what steps are you taking?
If you're trying to use echo then you have to use the correct syntax to write to a file.
https://docs.duet3d.com/User_manual/Reference/Gcode_meta_commands

If you're trying to save the console then click on the icon with the horizontal lines and select download as text or csv

The file will be saved wherever your browser normally saves files.
If it doesn't then there is something blocking it. Either browser settings or anti virus perhaps.

I have no problems dowloading files.
I can run backups with ```
c:/backup/rfm backup -domain bigdelta -password ******** c:/backup/bigdelta 0:/

Tested M122 on 3 of my printers now and it works OK, a window with where to save pops up so it isOK.

But this I get nowhere

Want to have the output from macro to a CSV. So what is my problem with this?

OwenD

@tecno
I'm going to have to eat my words on this one.
There does indeed seem to be some sort of issue with saving echo commands that are not sent from the DWC channel.
I tried putting M118 in the macro as well with no joy.

Your only option at this point is to use echo to write to the file directly from the macro.

echo >"0:/sys/savedData.txt"
G30 S-1 ; do probe at current point
echo >>"Stopped at height " ^ move.axes[2].machinePosition ^ "mm"

tecno

@OwenD
Trying this

echo >"0:/sys/savedData.txt"
M562                    ; clear any bed transform from mesh leveling
G90                     ; absolute positioning
G1 Z50 F4000            
G1 X0 Y0				; 1 point
G30 S-1
echo >>"Stopped at height" ^ move.axes[2].machinePosition ^ "mm"

And get this error:

M98 P"0:/macros/test"
Stopped at height 0.758 mm
Error: in file macro line 7 column 28: meta command: expected an expression

Above creates 2 empty files
