      Hey Everyone,

      I seem to be having issues with my printer after updating the firmware. I have gone from 2.02 rc3 to 2.03. I have a duet ethernet and a duex2.

      The issues I am experiencing are as follows:

      1. After turning the power on to the printer and starting to run my bed leveling macro, sets bed to 55 degrees and the heater to 130 (I use a precision piezo) sometimes when it starts to heat the hotend, it will get to about 60 degrees and then the printer restarts itself. Using the old firmware was never an issue. I then rerun the macro almost straight away and it is fine.

      2. Sometimes when leveling the bed, the firmware thinks the probe has been triggered even though the light on the precision piezo has not gone blue. This then gives false bed leveling. Pressing the emergency stop button usually fixes it. It will do an entire bed leveling macro thinking that this is the case

      3. For some reason, with prints I had printed on the old firmware and they printed fine I am getting the nozzle dragging on the print causing layer shifting. None of my settings have changed. (Not sure how this could be)

      4. I am getting a lot more connection dropouts with the duet web control. I am running 2.0.0 RC7

      Any help would be appreciated. Config below

      Kind Regards,

      Sam

        Any time the Duet restarts itself, run M122 to see why. If the reason was Software, post the Software Reset Data here.

          @dc42 Thanks for your reply. I will do that tonight. I ended up having to walk away from it last night as I was getting too frustrated.

          Do you have any idea what could be causing my issues with the Piezo probe?

            I don't think it's firmware related, more likely it's caused by a bad connection.

              @dc42 I will check that tonight as well. It just seems strange as I haven't shifted my printer at all for a good week and had multiple perfect prints and then I updated the firmware and it started straight after that.

              I will report back tonight.

                @dc42 Hi David,

                I got home tonight and started the printer up. It seemed to take about 10 seconds for the printer to turn the PWM fans off and for it to display the 4 z axis motors on the Panel Due. I then homed the axis and ran my macro for bed leveling. It heated the bed up and started heating the hotend. It increased the temperature by about 10 degrees, then the DWC dropped its connection and the fans went to full speed. The panel due still displayed all 4 z axis motors. I restarted the printer and then the axis have disappeared and the fans are running full speed. I had the printer lose its config file a couple of weeks ago and I have a feeling it has happened again. I will connect to it via usb shortly. It maybe the cause of the issues I have been having.

                Regards,

                  @samlogan87 When it misbehaves, can you run M122. Your symptoms are very similar to those that can occur if you get I2C errors. This should be fixed in 2.03 - read the notes here https://github.com/dc42/RepRapFirmware/blob/dev/WHATS_NEW.md.

                  So run M122 when it misbehaves and post what is reported for I2C.

                    Hi @deckingman i can’t now. I can’t connect to it via Ethernet and the panel due can not find the board either. Just about to try connecting via USB.

                      HI @dc42 and @deckingman

                      So I can connect to it via usb. There were lights on the ethernet port and Yat said that the ethernet was running, however I could not connect to it.

                      Below is what I sent.

                      m115
                      FIRMWARE_NAME: RepRapFirmware for Duet 2 WiFi/Ethernet FIRMWARE_VERSION: 2.03 ELECTRONICS: Duet Ethernet 1.02 or later + DueX2 FIRMWARE_DATE: 2019-06-13b2<LF>
                      M552
                      Network is enabled, configured IP address: 192.168.1.40, actual IP address: 192.168.1.40<LF>Error: Attempt to move motors when VIN is not in range<LF>Error: Attempt to move motors when VIN is not in range<LF>Network running, IP address = 192.168.1.40<LF>
                      M552 S0
                      Network stopped<LF><LF>
                      M552 S0
                      <LF>
                      M552 S1
                      <LF>Network running, IP address = 192.168.1.40<LF>

                      So what I did was to stop the ethernet, re enable it again and it started working. I can now connect to it and this time it has not wiped my config file, which I am happy about.

                      So it seems that something has gone haywire again. Am I best to format the sd card and start again? I am wondering if the issues I was having were due to something fishy going on

                      Kind Regards,

                        @samlogan87 I'd run it as is but as soon as something fishy happens, run M122 and post the result.

                          So I just got the printer standing back up (the board is under it) and started running my macro for bed leveling. It homed the X, y and z fine and then started heating. It managed to heat to the correct temp without rebooting. It is set to probe each point twice. It probed the first point once and paused in the touching position and then probed again. It did it again for the second point and then was fine for 3 and 4. It then did it again every other time. It took a while to get the m122 dump as the DWC locked up.

                              @samlogan87 It looks like it isn't anything to do with I2C as I suspected it might be. So that's good. Maybe DC42 can make something of the software reset report.

                                @deckingman yeah it was not showing the signs I have usually seen with the i2c errors but then again I have not had it for long enough to maybe see them all. Hopefully he can shed some light as I have a few things to print.

                                  Sorry I know you are probably very busy, but do you have any ideas what I could be? It almost seems like it’s buffering between come operations like probing.

                                    So a bit of an update. I took the SD card out and backed up the files on it. I then formatted it and put everything back over onto the card and it seems to be working ok. I wonder if something happened with the SD card. I have changed the card to a 16gb one now as well.

                                    Kind Regards,

                                      Hey Everyone,

                                      So there are a couple of other things that are happening now.

                                      First I seem to have an issue with Z height and it is sporadic. Sometime after I run my macro, I do my usual baby stepping and it is fine and prints a nice first layer. Other times I run the macro and it homes, levels and then homes the z axis and when it goes to print, it is about 3mm above the surface. I cancel the print, and start it again without homing and it is fine. I do not run the macro. It is really confusing me now.

                                      The other issue is my end g-code in cura runs a M84 which should shut all the motors off. It doesn't exactly do that. DWC says the motors need to be homed to be able to move, however you can still hear the hum of the motors. If I go into the console, and type M84, it turns the motors off.

                                      @deckingman do you have any ideas what it could be.

                                      Macro:

                                      G28 XY ; Home XY
                                      G28 Z ; Home Z
                                      M190 S55 ; Heat bed to 55 Degrees and wait
                                      M104 S130 ; Heat Extruder to 130
                                      M109 S130 ; Heat Extruder to 130 degrees and wait
                                      G1 Z10 ; Move Z 10mm down
                                      M561 ; Clear any bed transform
                                      G32 ; Start 4-point probe sequence
                                      G28 Z ; Home Z
                                      G1 X0 Y0 ; Move to Home

                                      Here is my End GCode for Cura

                                      ; End Gcdoe
                                      G10 P0 R-273.15 S-273.15 ; Turn off Tool0
                                      M140 S-273.15 ; Turn off Bed
                                      M106 S0 ; Object fan off
                                      G92 E0 ; Zero Extruder
                                      G1 E-6 F300 ; Retract 2mm
                                      G92 E0 ; Zero Extruder
                                      G28 XY ; Home XY and U to Z max
                                      M84 ; All motors Off
                                      M290 R0 S0 ; clear babystepping

                                        @samlogan87 Hi Sam,

                                        Sorry but I'm a bit busy too (for the same reasons that DC is busy - the TCT show is fast approaching).

                                        I can't help with the probing as I don't use any form of bed level or flatness compensation. Your M84 is a bit odd. It sounds like the command to turn th motors off is happening while the previous G28 XY is still happening. So try putting M400 before the M84. That will wait for all moves to complete.

                                        Note. Whenever you run M84, all the axes will revert to showing as being un-homed. That's because with no holding current, it is easy to knock something out of position. So it is mandatory to always home all axes after an M84 command. Is there a particular reason why you want to turn off the motors at the end of every print?

                                          Hi @deckingman

                                          That is not a problem and I fully understand. This forum is fantastic and I really appreciate the help.

                                          Yeah it seems strange. With the M84 it use to work. I think I may start from scratch as I am now having issues with DWC as well. It says it is connected and I just tried pressing emergency stop and it did nothing.

                                          I will download the sd card files and write the firmware back to it. Maybe the firmware is corrupted slightly. It always use to be stable and I very rarely had issues. Now it seems to be odd ones that pop up and go away when I cycle power.

                                          In regards to running M84, I just do it as a matter of course. I usually have prints running during the day with the wife at home and she hates my printer at the best of times, so if I can make it quite and on after the print is done, I still partially stay in her good books 😂

                                          Regards,

                                          Sam

                                            @samlogan87 Maybe it's the card itself. If it was me, I think I'd be inclined to buy a new sd card, or at least try another one.
