Duet3: Tool Coordinates N/A in DWC

[Danal]

Board: Duet 3 version v0.6 (MB6HC)
Firmware: RepRapFirmware for Duet 3 v0.6 3.0beta11 (2019-10-13b2) I also tried the Github "first beta" release of RRF 3, same results.
Duet Web Control 2.0.2

Symptom/problem description:

My Duet3 has properly showed tool positions as I've been working with commissioning a new printer. The other day, suddenly, they've changed to N/A. I've rebooted, changed firmware, etc. several times. Still looks like this. See the n/a upper left, but the X and Y are properly homed (and blue)

[dc42]

Please send M408 S2 and report the response.

[Danal]

After power on and home all:

M408 S2
{"status":"I","coords":{"axesHomed":[1,1,1,1],"wpl":1,"xyz":[45.000,40.000,5.700,0.000],"machine":[45.000,40.000,5.700,0.000],"extr":[0.0,0.0]},"speeds":{"requested":0.0,"top":0.0},"currentTool":-1,"params":{"atxPower":-1,"fanPercent":[0,0],"speedFactor":100.0,"extrFactors":[100.0,100.0],"babystep":0.000},"sensors":{"probeValue":0,"fanRPM":[-1,-1]},"temps":{"bed":{"current":-273.1,"active":0.0,"standby":0.0,"state":0,"heater":0},"current":[-273.1],"state":[0],"tools":{"active":[[190.0],[190.0]],"standby":[[170.0],[170.0]]},"extra":[]},"time":670.0}

After T0:

[dc42]

It looks to me that RRF is reporting the coordinates correctly. So I think the problem may lie with DuetWebControl. Please try putting /reprap.htm at the end of the IP address in your browser address bar, which will load whatever version of DWC1 you have on your SD card.

[Danal]

@dc42 Thanks, will do!

[Danal]

@dc42

DWC1 uses "RR_xxxxx" style HTML interaction with the firmware. Unfortunately, RepRap V3 doesn't seem to support this.

All documented RR_xx HTML 'get' requests result in 404 when fetched from a V3 system.

[dc42]

I'm sorry, you are running a Duet 3 using an attached RPi and I overlooked that.

A new DSF/RRF/DWC package was released last night. I suggest you try it.

[A Former User]

@Danal said in Duet3: Tool Coordinates N/A in DWC:

DWC1 uses "RR_xxxxx" style HTML interaction with the firmware. Unfortunately, RepRap V3 doesn't seem to support this.

I think that is a DWC2 vs DWC1 thing, not necessarily RFF2 vs RFF3. Although I have't looked into the DWC2 equivalent as Telnet was easier for me in that case.

[chrishamm]

@Danal Please try out DWC 2.0.4. If it does not fix your problem, please share your config.g and I'll try to reproduce it.

Printer is a "Jubilee" CoreXY tool changing printer. More info on Github. Printer was originally built with Duet2 and expander. I am first person to try to build one with Duet3. Therefore, config.g is only partly converted.

I've done a few network traces with the Chrome developers console. I do not ever see DWC2 attempting to fetch any form of status.

I do see all commands DWC2 issues. Movement, homing, etc. I do not see any responses to these commands, no payload returned. Therefore, they cannot be returning a status to be parsed.

Typical examples, G1 commands: (Also, this shows DWC2 saving the settings file, which it seems to do quite a bit, even when no settings change).

And a double click into one of the command ("code") network events:

Same event, no response:

And the remainder of the console shows nothing, even though DWC2 is/was connected for over an hour with this console open. No status requests.

[dc42]

Are you running the Duet 3 in standalone mode or with an attached RPi?

[Danal]

@dc42 said in Duet3: Tool Coordinates N/A in DWC:

Are you running the Duet 3 in standalone mode or with an attached RPi?

RPI, specifically a 4, running an image downloaded from the "SBC setup" instructions in the Dozuki. Both firmware and DWC have been updated (multiple times) beyond the original image, via the DWC system upload dialog.

The captures/traces are from a Chrome browser on a Windows 10 machine, with a URL that points to the Pi.

I can, if it helps debug, VNC into the Pi and run a browser on the Pi desktop.

[dc42]

We've alerted chrishamm to this thread because we suspect a DWC or DSF issue, given that M408 S2 reports the coordinates.

[Danal]

Further data points:

I git cloned the DWC repository; did an npm install, followed by an npm build and uploaded the resulting sbc zip via DWC system dialog.

After these actions I DO see an always open connection called "machine" (that I was not seeing before). I see an interchange every half second or so. However, the display is still all "n/a"

The payload in these machine interchanges typically looks like:

{"electronics":{"vIn":{"current":24.4},"mcuTemp":{"current":47.5}}}

If I execute a move of X, there are more fields, indicating the coordinates have changed.

{"electronics":{"vIn":{"current":24.4}},"move":{"axes":[{},{"machinePosition":10.0},{},{}],"currentMove":{"requestedSpeed":0.0,"topSpeed":0.0}},"state":{"status":"idle"}}

And last, a G1 that moved both X and Y:

{"electronics":{"mcuTemp":{"current":47.4}},"move":{"axes":[{"machinePosition":50.0},{"machinePosition":50.0},{},{}],"currentMove":{"requestedSpeed":0.0,"topSpeed":0.0}},"state":{"status":"idle"}}

Hope this helps...

And... it seems that Chrome developer console network must be already recording when a web socket opens... otherwise it does not see it at all.

That explains why I was sometimes seeing the ws://.........../machine socket, and sometimes not. It has nothing to do with git clones, or any other method of getting the build onto the SBC. It is only dependent on starting recording before a reload (and thus before the open of that socket).

[Danal]

Recently wired the first extruder on the printer that has the Duet 3. Position for it is being reported correctly.

[chrishamm]

I'm sorry but I haven't had a chance to look further into this yet. It looks like the drive position isn't properly set in the DSF object model and I suspect the key to that is the status response returned from RRF.

Can you post the output of "M408 S2"?

PS: If you're running DWC2 via npm, I can recommend installing the VueJS dev tools. With that addon you can look into the model data behind the UI (Vuex).

[Danal]

No prob on the "busy"... I perfectly understand.
