RRF[3.5.1]/RRF[3.5.0] : Gcode bad command error

JayT

I am using Duet 2 wifi. Will share a few gcode files. As stated, this problem isn't in 3.5 RC4 much.
I am not able to upload gcode file directly. How do I share?.

dropbox or some sort of cloud storage if it's too large to upload

JayT

@Phaedrux : @chrishamm : It uploaded well please see with RRF 3.5.1version.

@JayT this sounds more like an SD card reading problem. Check SD card isn’t nearly full, back it up, then reformat it or try a fresh SD card. See https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/RepRapFirmware/SD_card#troubleshooting-sd-card-issues

@droftarts :
I will check on this , however...If its SD card issue, then why don't I get same problem when I flash 3.5 RC4/3 or on older version of RRF, for the same gcode file?
Can you try to simulate them in your printer with RRF3.5.1 for once, with Duet 2 wifi?

droftarts

@JayT I need to do a test Duet 2 setup next week anyway (I don’t have any printers running Duet 2 any more, only a 2D plotter), so will try simulating your files then.

Can you share your config.g, and any other files that config.g depends on (ie macros called) and daemon.g if used? Then I can set my Duet up the same, just with nothing physically connected.

In the meantime, try a different SD card. I don’t know if there’s been any changes to the SD card read/write code between 3.5.1 and older firmware that makes marginal cards fail, but there may be.

I notice you are not enabling networking. Are you running the simulation from a PanelDue?

M929 S3 P"/macros/log/DEBUG.txt"

Is there a reason you're running debug logging? This will impact performance, and means a lot of writes to the SD card. It could be that the level of logging has increased in 3.5.1, and is causing what was a marginal problem on the SD card to become a real one.

I set up a bench test, with a Duet 2 WiFi on RRF 3.5.1 and PanelDue, powered by USB, with your config.g. I enabled networking. I simulated all three files, which all completed fine.

Looking at the DEBUG.txt file the logging created, there's a lot of writes during simulation. I think this is causing a degraded SD card problems. Please try with a new SD card.

Yes, I ran simulation via PanelDue, not from DWC.
Thanks for trying. If gcode simulated well, ***Will try with new SD card.

Is that so for 3.5.1? I am writing to SD card with debugging enabled, to debug problems if faced during printing. This log file helps me to understand at times if the print fails or there are problems w.r.t gcode, if dwc isn't connected.
What solution do you propose then? Is there a way to create log some other memory place?

JayT

@droftarts :
I see this is happening only with 1/2 versions of cura generated Gcode. If I use latest Cura version gcode, I don't see this problem much. However, I will see if stopping the log , helps anyway.
Also, I do see that this problem does not appear in previous versions of RRF. May be something is changed w.r.t certain gcode interpretation.

@Phaedrux : Please mark this as solved.
