Using the Filament Sensor with a Host
-
I am attempting to utilize the filament runout sensor when running a job via Repetier-Server over serial. What I am looking to do is just send a host action command to the server when the filament runs out. Here is the relevant line of my config.g
M591 D{var.Tool_Num0} P{var.E0_filSensTyp} C{var.E0_filSensPin} L{var.E0_filSensCal} A1 S1 ;Configure Filament sensor for tool (D#) Sensor (P#) on pin (C"#") and calibration (L#) enabled on any extrusion move (A#) and enabled at startup (S1)And here is my pause.g file, which just sends a host action command to Repetier-Server. I've tested the command independently by just entering it in the Duet web interface console and this does give the intended result (pausing the print) on the Repetier-Server side.
;pause.g M118 S"//action:pause" ;Pause job on the Repetier-ServerThe pause action triggers when running a job though the SD card, but not when running a job over serial via Repetier-Server. Is there a way to enable the filament runout sensor when running a job over serial?

@printerquestions Starting from RRF 3.5.0-rc.1 you can use M591 ... S2 to keep the filament monitor enabled all the time (which is what you need for Repetier AFAIK).

This worked for me. For future reference in case anyone else is using this with Repetier-Server, the pause.g action did not execute even after the change to my M591 command, but it did send a different notification that I was able to catch via Repetier's G-codes response to event and send the pause command from there. I used this regex in Repetier.
