issues installing on PI 3 B+

sankafola

great so i have a working system now maybe i should make a youtube short one on my channel to show how to do it , i never found a video explaining ,

now for the pic taken i take that and i put them together with a someftware like final cut to be like a movie clip right ?

another question about the m3291 as i understand this one make the printer take the head away from the printed area and then the duetlapse take a pic right? if yes then this is not working now in my setup unless there is extra setting to activate that in duetlapse.config

@sankafola

Please read the instructions. Duetlapse will create a video for you.

The Duetlapse documentation describes options for moving the head out of the way before a picture is taken.

The same for M3291. It has many uses.

@stuartofmt

am looking for these documents how to do that movie because none is created at the end of the print , so i need to change some setting maybe in the Duet
Lapse config file or in the M3291 if you can just point me where to get these info to start to use it right way , thanks

stuartofmt

@sankafola

To help I need some more information, usually the video will be created at the end of the print job (unless somehow you have told DuetLapse not to).

Using a small print job (say 5 minutes)

Please post (better as file attachments)

your duetlapse config file
the M3291 commands you are using (if any) - usuallly these will be in the "start print" "end print" of your slicer.
The complete log file.

After several minutes (but before the end) of printing please capture:
A screenshot of the status tab
A screenshot of the video tab
A screenshot of the files tab

As a side note - it is best to start off with something simple until you get the hang of it. For exampe:

you do not need to use M3291.
from memory, I have included a simple test configuration / approach in the documentation.

hi

1- my config file

-basedir /home/pi/DuetLapse
-duet 10.0.1.126
-port 8082
-seconds 30
-detect none
-weburl1 http://10.0.1.110/stream
-camera1 stream

the command i use is python3 ./DuetLapse3.py -file DuetLapse3.config
and my command for the videostream as follow
sudo python3 ./videostream.py -port 80 -camera 0 -size 4 -format MJPG -host 10.0.1.110 -rotate 180![Screenshot 2023-12-30 at
2- am not sure how to use the M3291 yet am only using the config file above

3- i tried to attach the complete log file but its giving me error here is a part of it

i did print a small part and got 100 pic but no video was made , how to turn that on to make a video at the end ? because i see only that i can press on snapshot before the end of the print , how do i change my setting to make a video at the end ? you see this in the log " make video is not running "

another question how can i make the camera take a pic only when the head is moved to the postion in the config file

Again - please read the documentation.

There is nothing wrong.

2023-12-30 10:19:32,811 - makeVideo - Error: Camera1: Cannot create video shorter than 5 second(s).
Length would have been 3.6666666666666665 second(s).

You have video min duration set to 5 seconds.

This is all explained in the documentation.

I suspect that you also did not replace your M3291 macro with my original (which would explain the errors about M3291 (they are being handled in the code and are not affecting anything).

@stuartofmt

I didn’t know that I need to edit the M3291 I will check that out

One question is the editing of the M3291 will make the camera take the pic when the printer head is moved and paused or it’s another setting because I search for that part in the document but couldn’t find it

i only want it to take the pic while the printer head is moved to postion as in the config and paused

Thanks for your patience

You must not edit the M3291 macro. Just replace the version you made with the one in github. There is something wrong with your edited version (perhaps the name - perhaps something else)

To move the head to a given position before taking the picture - read the section about -detect -pause and -movehead .

There is also an example in the useage examples documentation.

happy new year

1-i copied the M3291 macro from the post you made if you have a link to download it from github please provide
2-so the normal operation is the cam will take let say 100 pic and at the end it will make a mp4 video , what setting in the duetlapse.config that ask for that ?
minivideo and max video ?
3-am able to move the head and pause no issue but the camera takes the pic not while the head in pause or moved to the place i asked to be moved to its random so i wonder if am missing a setting in the config

I do not mean to be rude, so please do not take it that way but:

The last few weeks started out because you jumped into the middle of an installation without reading the instructions.

https://github.com/stuartofmt/DuetLapse3/blob/main/Documents/Getting Started.md

In particular (1) trying to install on an unsupported release and (2) not following the pre-installation checks. As it turned out, the plugin version (the only version tested on 3.5 beta of the software) works, without change, on a standalone setup.

The weeks in between have been a mix of "jumping around" and, to be fair, wresting to get some of the 3rd party software libraries installed but again, this is covered in the installation instructions.

To be successful with this sort of software, you need to be methodical and avoid "spot reading". I have put a lot of time and effort into the documentation and appreciate feedback where it is unclea, outdated or requires editing. That way, together, we can make it better. What I cannot do is "read" it for you.

Please read through documentation, then if anything is unclear, report that and I can improve the documentation for everyone.

Answers below:

1-i copied the M3291 macro from the post you made if you have a link to download it from github please provide

Have a look in this document (its elsewhere as well but this will explain what M3291 is about)
https://github.com/stuartofmt/DuetLapse3/blob/main/Documents/Controlling with gcode.md

2-so the normal operation is the cam will take let say 100 pic and at the end it will make a mp4 video , what setting in the duetlapse.config that ask for that ?
minivideo and max video ?
