Preview version of CNC optimized DWC.
-
Hello,
I've just noticed that with DWC CNC 3.3.0-RC3 and RC3-CNC04 my spindle appears to have disappeared from the the "Spindles" panel:
I'm not sure when this happened but, if memory serves, with previous versions the spindle panel showed the spindle status and turned bright green when the spindle was running?
The spindle is configured as follows and responds properly to M3/4/5.
;Configure Tool 0 as the CNC Spindle M950 R0 C"exp.13+exp.8+exp.9" Q2000 L500:26200 ; Create spindle index 0, PWM frequency 2KHz, rpm tweaked to yield 24K ; and the following connections: ; spindle speed PWM pin : exp.13 pin ; spindle run pin : exp.8 ; spindle direction pin : exp.9 M563 P0 R0 S"Spindle" ; Create Tool 0 with Spindle 0 and call it Spindle G10 P0 X0 Y0 Z0 ; Set Tool 0 axis offsets M568 P0 F0 ; Set Tool 0 to default RPM of 0 T0 ; Select Tool 0 ;Configure CNC Mode M453 ; CNC Mode
When the spindle is running at 8000 RPM it appears in the object model as:
Not sure why it says "configured = false"?
I'm using:
Board: Duet 2 Ethernet (2Ethernet)
Firmware: RepRapFirmware for Duet 2 WiFi/Ethernet 3.3RC3 (2021-05-26) -
@cjm I’ll take a look at it. I didn’t make any changes to that control but it is possible something in the OM changed.
-
@cjm The structure of the spindle in the object model has changed so I will be making some adjustments to fix it.

@sindarius Thank you!
-
@Sindarius many thanks for all your work on this. I have installed touch jog but it doesn't show up under settings. I see it under control but cannot configure it. Any thoughts please?
-
@mdhazell are you getting any javascript errors in the console?
-
@sindarius I need to check that but haven't noticed any errors. Thanks for getting back to me. Is it worth uninstalling and reinstalling it?

@mdhazell Did you turn on the plugin in Machine-Specific Plugins tab on the Machine-Specific settings?
-
@sindarius Yes, turned on and, as I say, it shows up under Control, just not under Settings.

There are no settings for it right now. The jog control appears under the control section. What are you trying to set?
I do know that the theme needs to be fixed on it for light them.
-
@sindarius ah, that might explain it. I thought I had seen screenshots where you had to configure which buttons on the controller did what function.

@mdhazell That's a different plugin that does something similar.
https://github.com/Sindarius/DWC_GamepadJogger_Plugin
This one lets you use keyboard or a gamepad to perform actions. You do have to configure this one.
-
@sindarius OK, thanks for that and really sorry that I was leading you down the wrong path. So, I tried that plugin but it complained about the manifest file. I'll try and get the exact error and paste it in here for you tonight. Looking at the file it seems to be looking for 3.2 whereas I'm using 3.3.

@mdhazell In the short term you can probably just open up the zip file and go into the plugin.json file and change it to 3.3. I'll look at updating that plugin as well.

Does 3.3.0-rc3 of DWC-CNC support the final 3.3.0 RRF release?
-
@Sindarius I've just updated to RRF3.3 on my Duet2 WiFi and also updated to your latest DWC CNC 3.3.0 in the hope of getting back the z-probe status but the dashboard no longer shows current axis positions at all so not sure what's going on.
I have attached screenshots of the dashboard and general settings below.
-
@crossbow I have found the issue and am going to have a new release available in a little while. Will edit this post when complete.
Edit:
New version is here https://github.com/Duet3D/DWC-CNC/releases/tag/3.3.0-CNC06 -
@sindarius Thanks a lot !!!
-
@sindarius is it possible to show in LASER and CNC Mode in the sensors area as marked below also temperature values?
I do have a flow meter which are configured as fan rpm input and a thermistor to get the water flow and temperature.
Maybe it is easy to show all analog sensor values, here are mine in Object browser:
Many thank's for your support!

@sindarius thanks, that works brilliantly now
