Macros on PanelDue's Control Screen

I don't run a pi, so can't be sure if it's the same, but on the D2, macros will only show on that screen if they are placed in the root of the macros folder.
Anything in a sub folder can only be accessed from the macros page.

Good call out - the test scripts are in the root Macros folder. Thanks

How are they named?

Can you test in standalone mode to isolate the problem to the rpi side?

@Phaedrux there is currently just a single macro in the root macros folder named 01_test.g. It shows up as test.g on the Macros tab, but does not show up at all on the Control tab.

While I understand what you are asking, I do not have any experience running the Duet 3 in stand-alone mode. I suspect it would work as I’ve found several other things that seemed to only break when running from the RPi’s SD card- specifically, no macros displayed on the macros tab before 3.1.1..

@Phaedrux - is there a better way to report defects than forum posts? Github? Thanks

I've brought it to attention, but it is the weekend after all.

@Phaedrux thank you. Sorry- I didn’t mean it like that.. I’m new to Duet and am literally asking the best method for reporting defects.

Phaedrux

You've found the right place.

@oozeBot How many tools have you configured? There is a bug in the current release that for 4 tools or more it won't show macros on the Control tab even though it could still show them for 4 tools (but no longer for 5 tools).

This is fixed in the new PanelDueFirmware 3.2-RC1 that I am about to release now.

Also there was an issue fixed in DuetSoftwareFramework 3.2-beta1 that might have caused this problem.

@wilriker thanks for the response. It was literally just last night I figured this out.

I am anxious to test the new release.. thanks!
