G29 Bed compensation
-
I have recently switched over to the Duet WiFi and I'm having an issue with the G29 command not always running when I start a print.
The auto compensation works every time with no issues from the Duet WiFi Web interface.
I always run it before each print as seen below in my Simplify3D starting script.
The problem is sometimes it runs and sometimes it doesn't. I never change my starting script.
My firmware version is 1.18.1zprobe settings

Pretty sure you need to change the G29 in your start script to G32 for it to run the Bed.g file. (It may be different for a cartesian such as yours but don't think so)

so the G32 command just calls the bed.g file to run which has the G29 command in it right?
-
Think so? as I say I use a delta so it is called from the Autocal button
it may be different on a cartesian but don't think so Maybe David will be along soon to either confirm or otherwise -
Also you don't need to run G29 before each print you could just use G29 S1 which will recall the saved bedmesh file?

To use that S3D starting script, the grid needs to be defined using M577 first.

Did you mean M557? M577 is Wait until endstop is triggered
As you can see in my bed file I posted above I do use M557 command to define the grid.
Do you mean I need the M557 command in my starting script? -
Sorry yes I mean M557. Your bed.g file has a M557 command, but your S3D start script doesn't. So if you run G32 first, then the start script will work because M557 will have defined the grid. If you don't run G32 between starting the Duet and running the S3D start script, no grid will have been defined, so G29 will just report "no grid defined" to the console.
If you intend to use the same grid always, you can put the M557 command in config.g. Or you can add it to your S3D start script, before the G29 command. Or, since you have written a bed.g file that contains both M557 and G29, you can have the S3D start script use G32 instead of G29.

Thanks!! Makes a lot more sense now.
