Responses on panelDue port

AndreS

Hi David,

I have a question about the responses to G/M-Codes you get on the panelDue port.

For M408 S0/1, M20 S2, M117 I get a response on the port.
If I disconnect the heater termistor, I get a response on the port, but not in json format ("message"), but plain text.

But, if I send M27, M119, M665, M666 there is no reaction on the port. (I checked with logic analyser).
Shouldn't be there a response on the the port?
Is there something to add in config.g to make it happen?

Testet on DuetWifi 1.15d, 1.15e and Duet 0.8.5 1.15e.
with:
M575 P1 B57600 S0

The lack of json format when reporting some errors is a bug that is fixed in the forthcoming 1.16 release.

You will get a response to M119, M665 etc. but only if you send those commands from PanelDue. Except for some error messages, responses are sent only to the same device that the command came from.

I send all mentioned commands on the panelDue port.

As said: M408 etc is good with response, M119 etc there is nothing.

I hooked up a logic analyser to RX and TX pins. Trigger is on RX, so I can see what is send to Duet.
If I send M408 there is a response after some milliseconds on TX. After M119 is send, there is a nice high line on TX for the next 4s. Thats the time I can capture with 800kHz sample frequency.

I just re-tested sending M27, M119 and M115 from PanelDue on a machine running 1.15e firmware. It works perfectly for me.

Are you sending those commands from the PanelDue itself, or from some other equipment? Bear in mind that there is usually a M575 line in config.g that requires a valid checksum on commands received from the PanelDue port.

No, i dont have a PanelDue. I made a little monitor myself. You can see it here https://www.duet3d.com/forum/thread.php?id=222. Its based on a Teensy 3.2 and a 2.8" display with touch.

I adapted some code from the PanelDue source: json-parser (added code to receive no-json data lines), processing received values (only the structure) and sending commands with line-nr and checksum.
It sends M408 with checksum and gets a response. Commands to set temperature are received on the Duet and acted on.
Data in json-message and without json-format are displayed in a console-window.

Yesterday I programmed a window to type in commands on a virtual keyboard and send them. At that time I had a M575 P1 B57600 S1 in config.g and the commands were send with checksum. If I send M140 S50 the bed will heat and G28 will home my delta. So commands are recognised. But M119 will get no response.

For testing I set M575 P1 B57600 S0 in config.g and took out code to send line-nr and checksum.
Behavior stays the same.
I'm confused. Is the PanelDue sending some special characters? I searched in the source code but cound't find anything special.

Some testing:
I connected Duet via USB to my PC and opened a serial console for debugging.
I send with my little Duetmonitor M111 P3 S1 and debugging is on. The message is also received on the Duetmonitor.
Then I send M408 S0. The command is recognised and I have attached a screenshot from the logic analyser.
Direct afterwards I send M119, and attached another screenshot, where you can see, that there is no response. In USB debugging both command are recognised.

USB debugging:

Debugging enabled for modules: GCodes(3)
Debugging disabled for modules: Platform(0) Network(1) Webserver(2) Move(4) Heat(5) DDA(6) Roland(7) PrintMonitor(8) Storage(9)

Send M408 S0:

Send M119:

I attach my config.g so you can have a look if there is something interfering.

The response to M119 and similar commands that don't have responses in json format is sent in the message field of the next M408 response. To receive it, the M408 command must have the correct R parameter, based on the sequence number in the last M408 response.

David, many thanks for your patience. That was the hint in the right direction, and now I get the responses to show in the console window.
I didn't know what in the g-code wiki is meant with: "non-trivial G-code response or error message".

Thanks again,
Andre
