Filament monitoring while printing via USB

[jay_s_uk]

@benecito no, thats the point of my response, sensors.filamentMonitors[0].status is from the object model...
there isn't another way to query something

[benecito]

@jay_s_uk all right - so the conclusion is, that we can't use any filament monitor as of now?

[jay_s_uk]

@benecito you can use them on the mainboard but it looks as though the reporting over CAN-FD needs work. but hopefully someone like @dc42 can chime in

[benecito]

@jay_s_uk But that's my point - even when connected to the mainboard sensors.filamentMonitors[0].status will stay at "ok" when I run out of filament

[jay_s_uk]

@benecito that may be a bug then. what firmware version are you running?

[benecito]

@jay_s_uk 3.5.0 beta 3

Hi, are there any updates on how to enable filament monitoring while printing via usb? Is there a new enable mode which needs to be used?
Thanks, Timo

[jay_s_uk]

@timoschuett you use S2 in M591 https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/Reference/Gcodes#m591-configure-filament-sensing
only supported in 3.5RC1 and newer

@timoschuett see the M591 documentation:
https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/Reference/Gcodes#m591-configure-filament-sensing

The S2 parameter.

@timoschuett please be aware it does not really work yet.

[jay_s_uk]

@benecito have you reported any problems with it that you're having?

[benecito]

@jay_s_uk we're in contact and diagnosing the issue yes

[timoschuett]

Thank you guys! I must been blind while reading the wiki earlier, have not found anything about it. Now i`ve found it
@benecito what exactly "does not really work yet" ?

[dc42]

@timoschuett we have one user (only one AFAIK) who has an intermittent issue with a filament monitor connected to a Duet 3 Mini. Apart from that, I believe all the outstanding issues have been addressed in the 3.5.0-rc.1+ firmware builds, which are available at https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/tjznycpk7bv7sj71p0ssl/h?rlkey=096p4nvgmigyrb20jj8olg3wu&dl=0.

@dc42 Perfekt, sounds promising. I will give it a try on monday
