Firmware 2.02RC5 now available

@dc42 said in Firmware 2.02RC5 now available:

@resam, thanks for your analysis, that looks like the explanation. The odd thing is that I ran pause/resume tests on my delta, and I didn't see a problem.

I believe that I've encountered this same issue a few times. My resume.g is identical the one posted by @resam , though mine also contains a M906 to reset the idle current for the stepper motors (I set the idle current to 100% in my filament-change.g)

In my case, the nozzle crashing against the print has, I believe, caused physical damage when the part fan duct was shoved against the side of the print, and pressed hard against the wires from my heater and Pt1000 thermistor. (Apparently, smashing the side of a PT1000 where the wires come out can be bad for the PT1000.)

Note: I'm not trying to make any claim for the destroyed thermistor. I completely recognize that I'm using RC firmware and that's one of the risks I take. On the other hand, I'm hoping that @dc42 can get a fix for this particular issue out more quickly considering that it can cause physical damage.

I also have a problem with 2.02RC5. As you can see I have 2 tools defined, and for one of them I have Z offset.
When I try homing T1 Duet ignores Z offset (I go to 0 on end). 2.02RC4 works as intended.

I'm sorry it may have caused damage. I've added a warning in the what's new file and also on the release page for 2.02RC5. I've already implemented a fix in the RC6 source.

I think I was just bitten by the resume bug. I was printing with some stonefil filament that is rather brittle. The filament broke midprint and I paused it so I could reload it, when pausing it dropped the print head to Z5 instead of raising it by 5, and I didn't really notice it as a problem. When I resumed the print it moved the print head diagonally back to the resume point and in the process smashed into the print popping it off the bed. No damage that I can see thankfully.

Here's my pause and resume files just for the sake of completeness.

For now I recommend that anyone using 2.02RC5 comments out any G1 R1 command in the resume.g file.

@frafa,

I've found why it doesn't allow you to do a G30 immediately after prox and distal homing. It calculates the XY position from the homed position, then when preparing the G30 move it has to calculate prox and distal positions back from XY. Because of a slight rounding error in the round-trip calculation, it thinks the prox and/or distal position is slightly beyond the homing switch limit. So it abandons the G30 move.

For 2.02RC6 I have saved the XY and arm positions in the position cache, so that it can bypass the calculation of XY from the arm angles. This allows G30 to be performed immediately after prox and distal homing.

The "Add test" move you added should work around the problem. Please can you explain what you mean when you said "Print test ok but impossible to put it in the right place because no absolute movements ...".

Alternatively you can use a regular G1 X... Y... move at that point to put the print head at a specified XY position, which is what my homing file did before I removed that command to investigate the problem with G30.

frafa

David In advance thanks for your changes in 2.02RC6

Humm of memory ... because the test of impression I had realized it on version 2.02RC3..4 ?
in short the impression started from my homing position,
it was not in the right place because no absolute movements

Last night my print stopped dead in it's tracks with the nozzle stopped in mid print. The DWC was apparently reset, because there was no history in the gcode console. There was no saved state file. All this sounds like it could be down to a power outage, EXCEPT that the hot end and bed were still at the temperature from the job, and M591 D0 reports the history between 64% and 95% as if the job were still in process. It's 2.0RC5 Maestro. I'm moving my UPS so I can plug the Ender into it.

--Ideas?

I'm afraid I just turned it off and went to work. If it stores beyond that I can check when I get home.

Sadly, it does not persist this information across (any kind of) restart.

But that sparked the following idea in me: what about saving the results of a M122 together with date and time (if available) to e.g. /sys/diagnostics whenever RRF does detect a power loss and is not printing at the same time (since then creating resurrect.g etc. must be a priority)?!

Good idea. Especially for debugging.

I was getting some seriously weird behavior tonight with the candle holder I have been trying to get to print. Sliced in S3D when I started the print no heaters would activate and nothing would home. It just said "processing". At one point I got this:

Error: Bad command: 30.454 Y91.117 E2.8345
Cancelled printing file PLA/candle_tree_V2_95.gcode, print time was 0h 2m

That line is missing the first few characters, and it took 2 minutes to error. The file is like 35MB. Once I changed from 0.2 to 0.3 layer height the file was 26MB and suddenly everything works more or less as expected. This could be a S3D bug (4.1.1) or something with the Duet? The trouble seemed to start when I tried to add some Z lift, but that could be coincidence.

wilriker

@3dmntbighker Have you checked the GCode file for this specific line? If it is in there then this is a S3D bug.

P.S.: File size should not be an issue here.

Here is the line in question from the file:

G1 X130.454 Y91.117 E2.8345

It looks almost identical to the lines above and below. I see nothing wrong with that area of the gcode.

3dmntbighker

I think I verified it's S3D 4.1.1. If I get a file print that doesn't even activate the heaters, I can quit/restart S3D, and re-save the file, and it prints. S3D is a bit of a disaster lately (ever?). I think I'm switching my work flow to CURA.

wilriker

@3dmntbighker This sounds a little bit to me a if you are using S3D as a print server - which is not recommended anyway.
But this line is totally ok. RRF complained about a line that did not start with a G or M or T. So my question was if such a (broken) line exists in the file but it does not.

Apart from all of that I hear a lot of complaints about S3D lately. Development has virtually ceased - probably because a lot of the developers seem to have switched to develop ideaMaker for Raise3D instead.

Print server = NO (upload to SD and print)

I opened the gcode file in BBEdit and searched for the string in the error. As I said the line in the file was completely normal. But there could be garbage elsewhere in the file that caused Duet to freak out. Quitting S3D and re-saving it after resulted in a working file.
