RepRapFirmware 3.6.0-alpha.2 for Duet main boards available

@edsped I see connection errors too. Do your connections errors go away if you put the PanelDue on the Setup page so that it stops polling the 6HC?

edsped

@dc42 I'm working through it now. Some of my issues appear to be related to running the Jubilee on an IOT network... I've had ongoing connection issues with the paneldue and leave it disconnected unless I have issues with the web interface. I'll follow up once I get my network in order and run a few tests.

edsped

@dc42 Still getting connection errors. Paneldue is disconnected FWIW.

edsped

@dc42 Did a fair amount of reworking of my network and I'm 45 minutes into a print without a disconnect... I believe my issue was more networking than the alpha firmware. Next try, running DWC and the Paneldue together.

@dc42 Thanks for the information.

Hi am seeing a new error today. A few minutes into a print, the printer stopped with the following error:

Error: Movement halted because a step timing error occurred (code 3). Please reset the controller.

Here is the output of M122 after that:

Does alpha 4 still work with toolboards running 3.5.2? I'd like to give this a try, but the toolboard on my Micron is a Fly RRF 36 and it doesn't look like team gloomy is releasing 3.6 alpha builds.

@curieos Looks like a question for @jay_s_uk @gloomyandy

Yes it does.

gloomyandy

@Notepad I don't think there are any expansion builds publicly available for 3.6 yet. We did make a build of 3.6 for mainboards available here: https://discord.com/channels/711873626080804914/762765744278208512/1263573562090848286

As DC42 confirmed existing 3.5.2 builds for expansion boards can be used with 3.6.

balajiramani

@dc42 checking if there is any update on this issue?

oliof

@balajiramani multiple issues have been discussed here, it helps if you're specific on which one you are asking about.

curieos

I've done a couple prints now on my Micron, and input shaping is looking way better. There's a symptom I didn't realize was due to the old input shaping algorithm; large ringing artifacts on organic supports. My guess is it's due to the high segmentation of those moves, but I could hear the printer make an almost grinding noise. That's all gone now.

The main quirk I'm noticing is slow probing. I'm running a klicky PBC and before, when the probe triggered, it would retract near instantly. Now it pauses after triggering for a brief moment. I have it set up to do multiple samples, and it seems like the first sample is always the slowest when retracting, but every sample has a brief pause.

Pressure advance also seems kinda weird. I need to rerun the tuning pattern to be sure I'm using the correct value, but it looks like turning it on at all has a very negative effect on surface quality. It's most pronounced on the latest print, but that's still in progress.

dc42

@curieos thanks for your feedback. Re the pressure advance, is the extruder driven by the main board, or by a tool or expansion board - and if so, is that board running 3.5 or 3.6 firmware?

curieos

@dc42 It's on the mellowfly toolboard running 3.5.2

dc42

@curieos OK, please upgrade to 3.6.0-alpha.4+3. See my next post.

dc42

All those running 3.6.0alpha builds, please see my announcement at https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/36421/reprapfirmware-3-6-0-alpha-4-3-available-for-testing/1 and upgrade to that version. If you find any issues, please continue in that thread. I shall lock this one shortly.
