Getting Error on first print
-
I finally started my first print with a Duet 3 mini on my Makergear m2 and I'm printing a file that I had printed prior to changing out the Rambo 1.4 board.
The print seems to be going good but I keep getting this following error message on the 7i screen
"Error: in Gcode file line _______: M118: missing parameter 'S' "
I never had this error prior to the Duet and I'm not sure what would be causing it. I use Simplify3d for the slicing and the file I'm printing was uploaded to Octoprint and I then downloaded from there and uploaded to the Duet via my phone.
Any help much appreciated, thanks

@Theboz1419 I assume the sliced file was for Marlin that probably treats M118 slightly differently

In RRF (RepRapFirmwre), an M118 posts a message somewhere (PanelDue, log file, DuewWebControl, etc). It has a parameter "S" which is the message being sent. Your error message implies that there is no S parameter in your gcode file. You can easily find this if you open your gcode file in any text editor and search for "M118". You'll see what parameters are included and can also add an S and your message (in "quotes"), then try printing again.
But the best thing is to set up your slicer for RRF firmware, most likely in the printer definition.
