DCS Crash with 3.01-R10 / DWC 2.1.5 / DSF 2.1.1

Garfield

Very much appreciate the heads up.

Notes taken and stored ....

I just had a crash with this in the console

Warning: Lost connection to Duet (Timeout while waiting for transfer ready pin)

Don't know if its the same.
I'm having to reboot the pi to get back in.

that would imply DCS is blaming the duet; but not a guarantee DCS isnt at fault still i guess

The pi has been rebooted and as soon as I try and do something, I lose all connection to the pi. I can't even SSH into it.
Cutting power and gets it back up and running again.

First time round, the first thing I tried to do was run my tool unlock macro and the same thing happened again

jay_s_uk

Spoke too soon. The whole thing has died again.

Garfield

Back down at RC9 but my CPU fan is still not working correctly - really don't want to go back to RC7 but can't handle the constant noise.

I KNOW this fan can work correctly - has done so since RC1 .... why can't I see fan 2 on the dashboard ? (doesn't even appear in the display filter)

Has something changed in gcode ????

More hassle than I'm in the mood for

you could probably ssh in, stop DuetControlServer service and run it in the foreground to try and capture any relevant debugging info. installing and using screen would pervent DCS from being terminated if the ssh session is terminated.

sudo apt install -y screen and then run sudo systemctl stop duetcontrolserver followed by sudo screen /opt/dsf/bin/DuetControlServer -l debug

Garfield

At the time you couldn't ssh - the RPi wasn't responsive at all, if you had an SSH session open it just stopped responding.

I will try the screen though - what does that offer? - a non DWC web gui ?

if you've got access to console/ssh could you also run something like top and see if it spots something to suggest DCS get stuck in a loop?

its a terminal multiplexer / window manager or sometihng like so. it achieves that dcs will keep running if you have a network glitch. if you run dcs in the foreground and ssh stops all the processes in that shell are terminated - with screen they can keep running.

First message

[warn] RepRapFirmware got a bad header checksum

and then [screen is terminating]

I was getting those when I very first setup my D3 & Pi. Firmly re-seating the ribbon cable on both ends cleared them up.

Terminal dies as soon as the web connection does.
I'll try and run DCS through the session and see what it spits out. It'll be later on though as I'm on bedtime duty now.

A Former User

the only thing I could think of that with respect to DCS to complaining about the RDY pin is basically an interrupt storm which can grind the Pi to a halt. not sure if relevant though.

Garfield

Well this sucks - it's just done the same thing with RC9 ..... I had screen running at the time and it reported nothing ....

I feel the need for a compatibility matrix for the 3 main components - which versions of RRF work wich versions of DWC.

I'd like to help the team figure this out but I haven't a clue where to start and I need the printer at least 'functional' even if there are known issues. Right now it isn't even functional.

I'm using a 4 Gig RPi 4 if it is worth anything (yes I know its OTT) ...

unfortunate, but still probably still helpfull for chrishamm. what happened to the ssh session timed out after a while or was it terminated immediately?

Garfield

Terminated immediately ...

It's not a network glitch. When it happens it tends to take out the entire Pi. Completely. So using screen isn't going to help. I've managed to get the network to stay up about 3 or 4 times out of 40 or so crashes, in which case screen isn't needed as you can still issue commands.... everything just takes an age to respond. But yeh, as soon as the SSH connection goes a power cycle is the only fix.

That sucks. It's only been RC10 that I've had this issue on. To the extent that the first time it happened I went and checked to see if my router had died.

t~~hats interesting; it means the cpu is able to relatively cleanly terminate the session as opposed to just freezing; although it doesn't help you.~~ see below for correction.

Garfield

I wonder if something didn't uninstall or get overwritten in the 'downgrade' process. I never used RC9, I came straight from RC6
