Firmware 2.0RC6 and 1.21.1RC6 released

[BMMal]

I was several hours into a long print when the machine appears to have missed a portion of a travel move mid-layer. The move was mostly in Y but also had an X component. It does not appear that any steps were missed in the X direction but about 18.5-19mm worth of steps were missed in Y. It might be coincidental but my Y offset for the tool active when this happened is -18.5.

It's likely some mechanical problem but at this point but I'm not sure if there is anything meaningful in the diagnostics below.

@dc42 There were ~70. Half of those are test macros and related subroutines that maybe shouldn't be in there. (The entry-point macros are in /macros but I didn't want the subroutines to show up on the "macros" DWC UI menu.) The other half are config.g, but factored apart such that reusable parameters were in one place.

https://github.com/daveidmx/VORON/tree/feature/config/Firmware/DuetWifi/V2/daveidmx

For example, here are my homex.g and homeall.g, written such that the actual Z-hop moves and X/Y/Z probe moves are in their own files. They are re-usable and only need to be changed in one place.

; homex.g
M98 P"homing_zhop_up.g"
M98 P"homing_probe_x.g"
M98 P"homing_zhop_down.g"

; homeall.g is a slightly optimized XYZ homing script that probes X, Y, and Z together without an intervening Z-hop between each axis
M98 P"homing_zhop_up.g"
M98 P"homing_probe_x.g"
M98 P"homing_probe_y.g"
M98 P"homing_probe_z.g"
M98 P"moveto_center_xyz.g"

Maybe these should be shipped off to /macros?

Hi All,
There was a problem when i use RC6 without any problem. When it printing i changed M566 value from paneldue then error message appeared and printing stopped.
Old value was M566 X800 Y800
New value was M566 X1200 Y1200

and M122 result,

Thanks. I'm hoping to get a fix for the file limit soon, but if not then I'll suggest to Chrishamm that he adds support for subfolders of /sys in DWC, that way you won't have them showing up in subfolders of /macros.

Error status: 8

Thanks for your report. I suspect that it was random that the problem occurred when you sent the M566 command, however if you find that you can reproduce this fault then please let me know.

What's happened is that accesses to the SD card failed. In older firmware versions, this usually caused the print to stop where it is with the heaters left on. We have one OEM customer who is a very heavy user and has seen this happen occasionally, going back to firmware 1.21 and earlier. In 2.0RC6 the handling of SD card errors has been rewritten so that the print is terminated properly, error messages are sent and the heaters are turned off.

At this state I am not sure what causes these errors. Perhaps it is just a temporary hardware glitch or an ESD discharge between a stepper motor body and ground. I am considering adding a mechanism to re-initialise the SD card interface and retry the transaction when a SD card read or write error occurs, as long as the card detect switch indicates that the card hasn't been removed.

Were you able to access the SD card via DWC or PanelDue after the error occurred, without either resetting the Duet or sending M21?

The error status 8 indicates that output stack overflow occurred at some point. This is not uncommon, especially when using multiple DWC clients.

Thanks for your report. I think there was an SD card read error, but for some reason it didn't cause the print to terminate. The Error status 24 indicates that you had output stack overflow (which is not uncommon) and that an SD card transaction took much longer than expected. The SD card longest block write time is also much higher than expected. The Slowest loop time is probably related to that.

PanelDue v3.0a 5" FW 1.20(b15) can't connect after update DuetWifi to FW 2.0(RTOS)RC6 (2018-05-29b4), works well until now. PanelDue displays "Connecting...", tried to reset setting. Connected via 4 pin cable.

If you are powering the Duet with 5V power only, that's normal for now. There will be a new PanelDue firmware release in the next few days that supports the new Standby status returned by RRF 2.0.

Yes, using only with 5v.

One more thing: when jogging not homed axis I see errors in g-code console:

M120
G91
G1 X-0.1 F3600
M121
Error: G0/G1: insufficient axes homed
Error: Pop(): stack underflow!

I sent M122 from DWC after that shutdown all system so i didn't test it.
