How to extrude until trigger
-
@nicolab28 said in How to extrude until trigger:
exactly, a solution not very elegant, but which remains in the concept of all gcode.
Why so much difference between the management of the XYZ and E axes?
Finally it probably saves me, I will test this step!
I don't think anyone has asked for extrude-until-trigger before. What is the use case?
-
Yes but how to affect E0 endstop to U axe?
I need to wire it? -
it's for create a MMU.
I want to push/retract the filament until a position. Perhaps there is another method?For my MMU, I use one extruder for direct drive, and 2 stepper for selecting et bowden.
For the moment I use an 5 multi filament. this one https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2785379
I use a sensor before the direct drive, to know exactly where the filament is.
So I need to push until trig. -
Another question
how to do an
if (E5 trig sensor) then G1 U-100 -

I need to wire it?The first axis you create using M584 will use the E0 endstop, and the next will use the E1 endstop.
I use a sensor before the direct drive, to know exactly where the filament is.
Are you sure you can't use extruder stall detection instead?

I use
M584 X0 Y1 Z4:5 E3:6:7:8:9 U6 P4
So E3 use E0 endstop
E6 and U6 -> E1 endstop ...Ok I will try
If i do
M584 X0 Y1 Z4:5 E9:8:7:6:3 U6 P4
So E9 become E0 endstop
E6 and U6 -> E3 endstop ...
And I can do this on the fly without loosing my tool definition?
My T1 def:
M563 P1 D0:1 H1 S"Tool 1" ; Define tool 1
M567 P1 E1:0.975 ; mixing
G10 P1 X0 Y0 Z0So I need to do this
M584 X0 Y1 Z4:5 E3:6:7:8:9 U6 P4
T1
G1 E-100 S1 ; with E1 endstopAre you sure you can't use extruder stall detection instead?
When I'm looking for Extruder stop I saw "stall" in a gcode title command, but I was thinking that was for loosing step for the XYZ axes, I will take a look.
Conditions in GCode are planned to be supported in RRF 2.03.
YES YES YES!!!
Varaiable too?
when? 1 week, 1 month or 1 year?
A python/php/lua would be grate -

E6 and U6 -> E1 endstop ...No, because extruders are not axes. U will use the E0 endstop.
-
OK,
even if Z use driver 4:5 it doens't take E4 E5 endstop
P4 from M584 say E0 for 4th axe U and only 4 axes
So I need to use P8 for U V W and A? B? -

I took a look in the doc, but I don't understand how stall detection will help me. how did you see the thing?
I did not take the time to test the M584, for the endstop, I'm experiment without for the moment.

Back from holidays!
Ok it works, if I affect a 4th axis "A" it has the E0 endstop.
By mapping the axis A to the extruder E0, I can extrude and control the position of my filament.M569 P5 S0 ; Driver 5
M584 X0 Y1 Z2 E5 A5 P4 ; Extruder E and A-axis on the driver 5
... set step / mm speed ...
M574 X1 Y1 A1 S1 ; Set active high endstopsSo if I want to extrude normally I use as usual G1 Exx
And If I want to get the filament back to endstop I use the function G1 A-1000 S1Thank you DC42 !!!
What is the M577 command for? in which situation to use it?

Another question...
Can we use the laser filament sensor as endstop for an axis? If yes, how?

That's not supported, or planned at present. Would you be wanting to extrude until the filament monitor detects motion, or until it detects no motion?
-
both ... It's mostly to have contactless sensors.
2 extruders (a bowden and a direct drive)
In fact I have an extruder that pushes the filament to the second which is a direct drive.
I have an endstop that is just after the first extruder, which serves me to change filament. I retract until endstop, I retract a few millimeters again, and I change my filament.
And I push the filament until the second endstop, before the direct drive, I push a few millimeters to hang the direct drive, and I disengaged the first extruder that pushed the filament.My printer is big enough, my bed is 500x500, I have a long tube of ptfe, and it's quite complicated to be precise enough in the position of the filament.

You should be able to use extruder stall detection to use the first extruder to push the filament and stop when it reaches the direct drive extruder.
The way endstops are configured and used is scheduled to be reworked in firmware 2.03, so I'll bear your suggestions in mind.
-
I do not think I can use the stall, with the extruder pushing, because the filament must always be engaged in it.
With a servo I engage or I disengage this extruder.But it is to test for the direct drive.
Normally, all parts are finished product tomorrow, I will finally be able to make the first tests ...

@NicoLab28 im currently doing the same project running a MMU2 with the duet, your welcomed to use my macros if you like. they work ok so far but dont have many miles on them yet so use them as you will. they detect loading and unloading failures. the triggers are very new and not fully tested but seem ok so far
My axes:
A=selector B=filament gear C=idler pulleysi aim to install the laser sensor once it comes back in stock. you can see where ive added space for it.
cheers

thank you Gavatron3000!
I will look at this very closely!
Yours is a replica of MMU Prusa? -
Yeah it's exactly the same just no electronics
-
My duet seems to have died ...
I was quietly re-doing a home selector, before moving to the configuaration of the extruder. I heard a pitchhh, and a little smell ...I do not understand too much, yet I have already made bad wiring, but not there ...
Unless the M584 X0 Y1 Z2: 4 E3 A8 B9 C9 P6 is not advisable? We can?
I just ordered a new one, I'll try to see what's wrong with the hardware, but I can not access it by http ...

nothing by usb too!
hoping that the duex5 and the panel7 have nothing?
