New firmware 1.21RC1 available

DocTrucker

Ah ok, that makes sense. Thanks for the explanation.

To save me bothering you in the future if there is a RepRapFirmware.bin in a release folder then it is safe to upload onto the v0.6?

dc42

Yes.

@dc42:

There are some new bugs in G29 bed probing in firmware 1.21RC1. I will fix them in the next RC.

Hi David, What is this bug related to? I'm having some issues with my bed levelling that is driving me nuts, but I think in my case is a mechanical problem (I've bought a new rods to discard the issue, hopefully I will get them by the end of this week).

Cheers

The known issues are:

G92 on a delta causes a square height map to be displayed
The new multi tap facility doesn't work with G92

Mechanical issue is still winning the raffle then xD

Do you mean G29 or G92?

This evening my Duet 0.6 quit midprint due to a software reset. Diagnostics points to the Network loop. I'm running with fixed IP address.

for the filament monitor, m591 r-1:-1 or similar gives 'allowed movement 2147483647% to 2147483647%' for the probe result - which makes sense to me but is probably not desirable. This is on P3 the rotating magnet filament monitor.

Is there a new way to enter the calibration mode?

thanks
Rob.

The parameters for filament monitors have been changed in firmware 1.21. See https://duet3d.com/wiki/G-code#M591:_Configure_filament_sensing. However, I haven't tested the rotating magnet sensor with firmware 1.21RC yet.

Thanks, I saw that - but don't see anything in the 1.21 section at all re: calibration mode other than that the 'data will be collected even when filament monitoring is disabled'.

Current print with R-1:-1 is generating calibration data so seems to be working and apparently -1 still puts it into calibration mode

thanks,
Rob.

Also on the report message for the P3 monitor, it seems to be truncated at the end:

Duet3D rotating magnet filament monitor on endstop input 3, disabled, sensitivity 28.80mm/rev, allowed movement 2147483647% to 2147483647%, check every 3.0mm, current position 298.5, measured sensitivity 26.29mm/rev, measured minimum 3%, maximum 6% over 6

From other messages I am guessing that is over 6xx mm extruded.

Otherwise 1.21RC1 working beautifully on my DIY Prusa i3 variant.

Cheers,
Rob.

@dc42:

I'll probably change the next RC firmware version to print a warning but take the average of all readings, if the maximum count was reached without being within the tolerance.

Looking forward to that!

Hello dc42

I have the 1.21RC1 firmware, but i had the problem with the 1.20 also

When i "uppload", or put "directly" a big gcode ( 64mb) to the sd card i get kicked out of the webgui. ( and when i reconnect i see that gcode is "loading" the gcode. And it is a * in the beginning of the filename. and get kicked out again.

I have to delete the gcode from the sd card to get into the webgui, so i not are beeing kicked out.

What can this be ?

Because calibration data is now always collected, there is no longer a separate calibration mode. Instead there is the S parameter to determine whether the output of the filament monitor is checked or not.

I just noticed that I'm not getting time estimates based on layer times nor the actual layer times anymore. Using 1.21RC1 on a Duet Ethernet.

I'm also seeing an issue where the Duet Ethernet becomes very slow after completing a print. Moves are executed at the speed commanded, but the time between commands is very long, almost a minute. Here is the diagnostics from Pronterface when it is in such a state.

Thanks for you report.

Regarding the printer becoming very slow, I have one other report of this, also on a Duet Ethernet. Next time it happens, please use M111 to enable GCodes, Move and DDA debugging. Then send a movement command. It will echo the gcode, then the move details, then do the move. What I am interested in is where the delay occurs.

With this release I have noted that the extruder motor is 'stuttering' on the retract move but never on the restart move. I lowered the acceleration and instantaneous speed change settings but no change. Right now it retracts 7mm @5600 mm/min.

Anybody else noted this?

Here is the Pronterface log after enabling debugging and executing a move. There is a delay immediately after sending the command. Once the command is executed the info is received more or less simultaneously. The move itself is executed smoothly as expected.

I notice when I pause and resume, it adds some strange extra move in after running the resume script. It's also writing a resurrect.g, not sure if it's supposed to do that on pause?

It moves back into place, then moves about 2cm out of the way at print height, then moves back.
