Automatic Bed Tilt Calibration, G30 S4, and G30 S-2

BStump

I need a way that automatically works to reset the Z=0. Currently no sign the tilt correction is taking nor the Z=0 is being reset correctly.

I tried to use your suggested macro and it errored out

But it does sort of run and the second iteration does look like it compensated for the Z=0

@bstump what version of RRF are you running?
Post the output of M115

But simple thing like

if !move.axes[0].homed || !move.axes[1].homed || !move.axes[2].homed
   M117 "Homing"
   G28

cause errors

It is like it does not like many commands or expressions

@bstump none of my macro will work for you then. Its for rrf 3.2 and above.
You may want to look at upgrading as its so much easier to accomplish in RRF 3. The latest is RRF 3.3.0

to quote @Phaedrux

Upload these 3 zip files, one at a time in the system tab. Don't extract them. Reboot after each. Use M115 to verify the firmware has been applied.
https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/releases/download/2.05.1/Duet2Firmware-2.05.1.zip
https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/releases/download/3.0/Duet2and3Firmware-3.0.zip
https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/releases/download/3.3/Duet2and3Firmware-3.3.zip
That will get your firmware and DWC up to date.

You can see the change logs here:
https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/wiki/Changelog-RRF-3.x

For your config, might be a good idea to run through the configurator tool and generate a fresh set for RRF3.
https://configtool.reprapfirmware.org/Start

Backup your existing config files in the sys folder in case you want to switch back to RRF3. IT’s easy to switch back and forth, just upload the zip file for the version you want and then upload your config files.

These documents will come in handy during the conversion.

We are on 2.05.1. Do we need to implement that first file? Looks to be the current RRF.

@bstump 2.05.1 is not the current RRF and hasn't been for ~18 months

One question: do you have a printer with multiple tools?

One suggestion: take the time to update to the current v3 firmware - there are many, many improvements and fixes. It involves some changes to your configuration files but it takes less time than you might think. I put it off for a long time only to find it wasn't that much work.

Were there I/O mapping changes from 2.05.1 to 3.3? We have an error coming up with regards to the LED Current callout is M42 P27 S100 but it says the P is too high.

Did you see this regards v2 to v3:

In RRF3, before you can use M42 you must create a GPIO port using M950. Then in the M42 command, the P parameter is the GPIO port number, not the logical pin number. Duet 2 supports up to 10 GPIO ports, numbered 0 to 9. No GPIO ports are allocated by default.

In RRF3, the F and I parameters are no longer supported in M42. Instead, use the F and I parameters in M950 when you create the GPIO port.

Example - RRF2 code:

M42 P3 I1 S0.5 F500 ; set Heater 3 pin to 50% PWM at 500Hz

Example - RRF3 code:

M950 P0 C"exp.heater3" Q500 ; allocate GPIO port 0 to heater3 on expansion connector, 500Hz

M42 P0 S0.5 ; set 50% PWM on GPIO port 0

Does each extruder have it's own Z probe?

@fcwilt We found the change logs https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/wiki/Changelog-RRF-3.x#reprapfirmware-30 and https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/RepRapFirmware_3_overview, and are going thru them to adjust our macros.

No, it is shared between the primary and secondary extruders.

Thanks.

Nice drawings.
