Firmware 2.03 (Duet 2) and 1.24 (Duet 06/085) released

[dc42]

I have just released these at https://github.com/dc42/RepRapFirmware/releases/tag/2.03. Compared to firmware version 2.02, this release includes around 80 new or improved features and around 50 bug fixes. The full list and upgrade notes are at https://github.com/dc42/RepRapFirmware/blob/dev/WHATS_NEW.md.

I slipped in a late new feature: a "jerk policy" which is set by the M566 P parameter. The default value is 0 which replicates the previous behaviour. Setting it to 1 or anything higher allows jerk to be applied in circumstances in which it is not strictly needed, for example when transitioning between travel moves and printing moves. This mimics the way in which some other firmwares behave. Please note, it may not work well when used in conjunction with high values of pressure advance.

So reading through the Whats new file, I saw the comment about offsets being in the tool files for IDEX printers. Any clarification on what this means for existing configs?

"Tool changers, IDEX printers and similar using tpre#.g and tpost#.g files: tool offsets are now applied within the tpre#.g and tpost#.g macros."

My tool definitions in config.g are this: (Having issues with the duplication one as I mentioned in another post but that's besides the point)
*; Tool 0 X - Left hand Extruder
M563 P0 D0 H1 F0 X0 S"Left Titan Aero" ; tool 0 uses extruder 0 and heater 1 and maps X to X, use fan 2 as the print cooling fan
G10 P0 X0 Y0 Z0 ; Set tool 0 axis offsets
;G10 P0 R0 S0 ; Set initial tool 0 active and standby temperatures to 0C

;Tool 1 U - Right hand Extruder
M563 P1 D1 H2 X3 F1 S"Right Titan Aero" ; tool 1 uses extruder 1 and heater 2 and maps X to U, use fan 1 as the print cooling fan
G10 P1 X0 Y-2.95 Z0 ; Set initial tool 1 active and standby temperatures to 0C (was -.71 before adjusted the Left X axis down)
;G10 P1 R0 S0 ; Set initial tool 0 active and standby temperatures to 0C

; Duplication Tool 2
M563 P2 D0:1 H1:2 X0:3 F0:1 S"Dual Duplication Print" ; tool 2 uses both extruders and hot end heaters, maps X to both X and U, and uses both print cooling fans
G10 P2 X150 Y0 U-150 S0 R0 ; set tool offsets and temperatures for tool 2
M567 P2 E1:1 ; set mix ratio 100% on both extruders*

Does this mean I need to move the G10 lines to the Pre/post macros? Just curious what the actual guidance is based on that mention in the documentation.

the configurator needs to be updates with a choice for this firmware because of the M669.

Not necessary, because the M669 K codes that RRF 2.02 supports are also supported in RRF 2.03 and they set the appropriate default matrix.

Thanks! Time to update my boards!

I'm not sure what qualifies as "high levels" for pressure advance, but most likely I'm going to leave the jerk settings to default anyway, so it probably won't matter.

[DocTrucker]

Thanks for the continuing updates to the 1.x firmware. Will update later this evening.

Tested it out last night on a 6 hour print. I even tried the Jerk policy of 1 to see if I could tell the difference. I wasn't sure what to look out for, but the print completed successfully at any rate. XY jerk of 700, PA of 0.045.

Since updating to 2.03, I think, that there is a new issue.

Within long prints, the display and the web interface twice got unresponsive about in the middle of a print (after around 5h).
But the print was finished correctly. After finishing, the duet display (7´) and the web interface still show the bed and hotend temperature that where used during the print.

The "STOP" button on the display reacts, but failed to connect to the duet board again.

Power on/off fixes the problem.

In the 2.03 RC the fault did not appear.

I also observed that!
At first I thought only of wireless problems but also the PanelDue did not react anymore.
I also had this in 2.03 RC, Final 2.03 I have just installed today.

What's the latest firmware version known to run stable?

2.02 was the last stable release.

What version of DWC and PanelDue firmware are you running?

I downgraded to 2.02 and all is running fine again. I kept DWC 2.0.0, no problem with this.

Not sure if this is a bug or a feature/limitation, but if using M918 P1 E4 to enable a 12864 display the PanelDue serial port does not get the {"beep_freq":7000,"beep_length":2000} message even if the serial port is set up with M575 P1 B57600 S0. Which seems odd as {"message":"HELLO WORLD"} from M117 Hello World is sent to the PanelDue port even with the 12864 display enabled, removing the 12864 from the config results in the beep messages being sent to the PanelDue port without any other changes made.

(Also M918 P0 is rejected as unkown display, so only way is to reboot. Same behavior in v3 in both cases)

That's the way it is written. But I can make both the 12864 and PanelDue bleep in the next build.

I didn't anticipate any requirement to disable the 12864 display once it has been enabled.

I just tried as the g-code wiki listed Pn Directly-connected display type: P0 = none (default) which the firmware rejected, I don't see the need to un-configure it, but maybe the wiki was a bit unclear in that respect.

As for the beep with and without 12864, I'm okay either way, was just surprised that there was a difference between M117 and M300 without any indication of it being by design or not. If supporting efforts like https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/10720/duet3d-monitor-adding-a-big-status-light-to-your-printer is a priority I can see having the protocol as complete as possible even if not used with a PanelDue would be beneficial.

I have removed the P0 option from the description in the GCode wiki.

That's why I changed the code yesterday to send the beep to both displays. This change is already in the RRF3 beta build and it will also be in RRF 2.03.1 when I release that.

Awesome!

Another "maybe" bug.
I have duet 3d wifi on a delta printer, with the new function "M665 L260.0:260.0:260.0" to give the firmware the diagonal rod offsets, if I leave them the same as in the example everything works fine, now, if I change the values after calibrating with the hexagon I get (and thats what I got when I was running Marlin) L267.3:267.1:266.9, a 0.2mm difference between the rod pairs, my printer misses steps while homing (the second bump, but not in the first one) and misses steps while calibrating and printing.
I, then, proceed to experiment, the greater the difference, the more steps it misses.
So I'm now back to the L267.1 (the mean of the tree pairs) until this is fixed, it happens too to others in my printing community.

Here I provide you my homedelta, config override and config in case you want to check them out.

2_1561532460509_homedelta.g 1_1561532460509_config-override.g 0_1561532460509_config.g

Thanks for your report - I've added it to my list to investigate.

The recommended way to handle scaling errors is not to adjust the rod lengths but to use M579.
