New firmware 1.20 Release Candidate 2 - please try it!

[strips]

Flashing RC3 yesterday wifi seemed to work properly and worked a few seconds after power up now and then this:

[...]
Recv: Error retrieving WiFi status message
Recv: Error retrieving WiFi status message
Recv: Error retrieving WiFi status message
Recv: Error retrieving WiFi status message
Recv: Error retrieving WiFi status message
Recv: Error retrieving WiFi status message
Recv: Error retrieving WiFi status message
[...]

Wifi debug does not give me any more info. Web server is dead.

M999 resets and I get connected to wifi:

Recv: FIRMWARE_NAME: RepRapFirmware for Duet WiFi FIRMWARE_VERSION: 1.20RC3 ELECTRONICS: Duet WiFi 1.0 + DueX5 FIRMWARE_DATE: 2017-12-16
Recv: ok
Recv: Wifi module is connected to access point Tomato24, IP address 192.168.1.111

Then 15-20 seconds later without doing anything is crashes again with lots of "Recv: Error retrieving WiFi status message"

This is a new one for me.

David, that is what I did.

Connected to DuetWifi by USB (octoprint in bigbox). The M111 S1 P14 really does not give my anything after it failed. I need to try again and enable before it fails to see if I get anything before.

Funny… not changing anything today everything works

So I have to call this one off for the moment

Please try the new 1.20RC4 and DWS 1.20RC1 that I have just released.

The Machine Properties tab is not reporting the motor currents in RC4 or RC3. Not sure about earlier versions. Could be a DWC thing too I suppose?

@dc42:

…
1. Use M140 H0:2:3:4 to configure multiple bed heaters, instead of M140 P0 H0, M140 P1 H3 etc.
...
Thoughts?

That sounds very good to me.

Don't understand why you installed a release candidate rather than the full release one https://www.duet3d.com/forum/thread.php?id=3817

Just to try is, because the full release do the same on and off. Now I an´m back to the full release.

On RC4 now and so far so good! Running through levelling and calibration routines because of a rebuild.

Maybe a bit late to claim an issue with RC4 now that it is officially released.
I have some G1 or G0 moves in the end code of the slicer to park the effector at X0 Y0 Z160.
These moves get misinterpreted by DWC and it always shows layer count 799. Thereby the estimated print duration based on
layer time x #layers is totally wrong too.
I tried G0 and G1 moves, both with same result.
If DWC would check for moves which include an extrusion, it would detect the last relevant layer.

Sorry, if that has been posted earlier, I'm not a regular visitor here…

[dc42]

That's a well-known issue. The solution is put a comment starting with ;E or ; E at the end of the G0 or G1 command line that does that movement.
