Smart effector not remembering sensitivity

dgrat

Definition of M672 S105:8:247 in the config file is useless, because I can just change the sensitivity every third run.
I guess there is another issue with the error handling, because the checksum check is false, but the led blinks three times.

dgrat

I think I got it, the LED blinks probably one time because of the check, and two times because it resets ^_^
I misinterpreted this as three blinks

	if (!nvDataValid && (PINA & BITVAL(PortADuetInputBitNum)) == 0)
	{
		nvData.flags = 0;
		UpdateEEPROM();
		FlashLed(2);
	}

What works is to put M672 in the bed file and finish with a reset 131:131.

@dgrat, thanks for your PR. I have accepted it, made some other minor changes, tested it, and published a new release at https://github.com/dc42/Duet3dSmartEffector/releases/tag/2.01.

Flashing the firmware requires an AVR programmer, such as AVRISP, TinyISP, or an Arduino running the ArduinoISP sketch. The pads on top of the Smart Effector have the standard 6-pin ISP layout. We use spring-loaded pins to make contact with them.

If you are based in the UK then I can reprogram your Smart Effector. Send me a chat message if you would like to arrange this.

@dc42 I am living in Germany, and I guess, I anyway had to learn it. I will test it out, when I get my pogo pin connector.

Okay I flashed the firmware with avrdude. Seems to work now.

I just got a old smarteffector that seems to have this very same problem.

No sensitivity store, and need to program it every power cicle.

Is it there any instruction on how to flash fw to smarteffector? It´s a V2. So don´t know the best or latest fw to install

Everything to know about the smart effector can be found here: https://docs.duet3d.com/en/Duet3D_hardware/Accessories/Smart_Effector

If you're still stuck, please create a new thread with all the details.

@apak Looking at the release history of the Smarteffector firmware, v2.01 "fixes a problem whereby if a custom sensitivity was set, it was not preserved over a power cycle", so it may be you have older firmware on the SmartEffector. Otherwise, I think you can just set it each time in config.g.

For flashing the firmware, see @dc42's notes above https://forum.duet3d.com/post/116211:
