RepRapFirmware 3.01-RC1 released

try putting a 1 second delay

Yep. Sorted. Thanks!. I did wonder whether it was just going to get stuck that way. So, the second pause does fix it, and perhaps that's sensible anyway. You're in control about how much to wait between cycles. I guess if you're going to fix it at some value, that value could be set by another GCODE before entering the loop perhaps.

The short piece of code does generate an interesting result on the progress bar

SpoonUnit

Actually, now I'm a bit confused ...

This was where I (stupidly) put the pause ...

while true
	if heat.sensors[6].lastReading > 30
		G4 P1000
		break

But it worked anyway (?), so it paused even without the sensor having the right value.

Also PrusaSlicer isn't terribly excited about the GCODE ..

!!!!! Failed to process the custom G-code template start_gcode
Parsing error at line 18.
if heat.sensors[6].lastReading > 65

SpoonUnit

It seems Slic3r uses [] to denote variables, so if they're found, it immediately tried to process and then fails. I wonder if an alternate form can be made available along the lines of:

heat.sensors.6.lastReading

This then doesn't trip the error. For now I can post process to just put the [] back in.

why not use the macros provided by RRF to do start/stop stuff?

There's your answer, the firmware can't detect the thermistor. Maybe a bad crimp connection?

no, i did not change anything except leaving out C7.06E-8 in the first m308 - did not even touch the printer.

SpoonUnit

@bearer It's a good idea. I can write a few different macros for the few variations I would typically have for startup. Thanks for the suggestion.

A Former User

@SpoonUnit if you need variety you could still control it from the slicer and have M98 execute the file of your choosing. (not sure if parameters are implemented yet, but think it on the to-do list)

SpoonUnit

@bearer Yep. That's exactly what I was thinking once you suggested using macros. I already store retraction settings in retraction.g, so this is just an extension of that type of thinking.

Oh, you mean parameters for running a macro!. That would be nifty.

@dc42 connected the thermistor to temp2 - same result.

further info:

M308 S2 P"temp2" Y"thermistor" B4725 C.000001

results in

M308 S2

returning

Sensor 2 type Thermistor using pin temp2, reading 12.8, last error: success, T:100000.0 B:4725.0 C:10.00e-7 R:2200.0 L:0 H:0

the same holds true if the thermistor is connected to temp1.

the temperature reading is still ~20C @200C

Strange. I just sent:

m308 s5 p"temp1" Y"thermistor" B4725 C7.06e-8 a"temp1"

to a Duet 3 MB6HC running in standalone mode with an E3D thermistor connected to temp1. In the Extras tab of DWC it reads 23C, which is about right.

Are you running in standalone mode, or with attached SBC? If with SBC, what version of DSF are you running on the SBC?

How do you know it is 20C too high? What else are you using to measure the temperature? Is it a genuine E3D thermistor cartridge?

spllg

@dc42

yes, it's a genuine e3d thermistor
my pla is specified to be printed 190C - 210C but can't be printed below 215C (better 220C)
i installed a 2nd thermistor (from a cheap chinese hotend which printed reasonable @195C

as i'm kind of losing faith, yesterday i also contacted e3d.

dc42

Do you have any fixed resistors that you can connect in place of the thermistor to check whether the Duet+RRF is giving the correct readings? For example, a 150 ohm resistor should give a reading close to 260C.

spllg

@dc42 going to check tonight.

Good Afternoon,
I have recently updated to this firmware from the 3.01 Beta3 release and have been experiencing crashing during prints.
These were the following errors that were displayed on the console:
13/02/2020, 14:49:06: : Warning: Lost connection to Duet (Timeout while waiting for transfer ready pin)
13/02/2020, 14:49:06: : Connection to Duet established

13/02/2020, 14:49:06: : Error: M308: Response timeout: CAN addr 2, req type 6011, RID=30

I was not experiencing these errors when on the release 3.01 Beta3 firmware.

I also ran a diagnostic on the error, and this was the output:
