Startup error on RRF 3.5.0 rc1

jens55

@jay_s_uk , config.g attached below as per request.
Please also note that I upgraded the wifi server (2.1beta4) and DWC is 3.5.0-rc.1
I also commented out the M92 E400 line to see what would happen. I got the same error but for a line further down and got:
Error in start-up file macro line 51: in file macro line 51 column 22: M350: array too long, max length = 0

@dc42, I removed the second Z microstep configuration in M350 but the error code remained unchanged.

jay_s_uk

@jens55 you need to remove the doubled up Z values from here too

jens55

@jay_s_uk on which line please? Note that as per @DC42 line 52 (M350) was fixed.

jens55

@jay_s_uk I removed all the doubled up Z lines in stepper_settings_default.g but the error message is still there

jay_s_uk

@jens55 can you post the output of M98 P"config.g"

jens55

@jay_s_uk

m98 p"config.g"

There were a couple of other errors reported but I fixed those and re-ran the command

maybe this one not being fully formed? missing the 0:

jens55

@jay_s_uk

Changed the formatting on both M98 lines - no change

dc42

@jens55 said in Startup error on RRF 3.5.0 rc1:

Error in start-up file macro line 46: in file macro line 46 column 35: M92: array too long, max length = 0
Line 46 in config.g is:
M92 X80.20 Y80.15 Z400.00:400.00 E400

Going back to that original message, the error states that it expected an array of length 0. You also said that if you separate the E value into a separate M92 line, the error moves to that line.

The likely cause is that you have no extruders configured at the point at which that line is executed. If it's a CNC or laser machine that has no extruders, just remove the E parameter. If it's a 3D printer and you do need extruders, move the M92 line to a position later in the file than the M584 command that creates the extruder(s).

Edit: this is indeed the problem, your M92 E command is at line 49 and the M584 command is line 56.

jens55

@dc42, thank you. I moved M584 to before the M92 commands and now , after a minor other fix, everything is working and there are no error messages.
