PanelDue 3.3 Button colors and print status bar not updating.

Nurgelrot

I have 2 PanelDues v3 (fysetc version) running the new 3.3 release of the paneldue firmware. When using the Dark Theme1 The Home buttons don't always update their color to indict that the axis are homed. Also the Progress bar on the Status page for a print doesn't update - never fills in as the print progresses. Did something change in a config I can update or anything else I'm doing wrong? Or is this something that got missed?

Where do you connect them to? Can you share screenshots and a step by step process how to reproduce? Does you printer support Object Model?

@mfs12 Both of them are connected to Mini5's one via the ribbon cable the other via io.0. I just did what I should have done before posting here and re-flashed them. Same print as last night on the one with the ribbon cable is now showing the green progress bar correctly. The home buttons not updating has been random I'll try and snag a picture and config/status dump if/when it happens again. Hopefully it was just me and I've fixed whatever I did by re-flashing. So nice to be able to do it right from DWC.

These where both new displays So the first flash was from 1.24 (I think) to 3.3 via Bossa. The re-flash was via DWC. Who knows if that had anything to do with it.

Thanks I'll post here if I can make it show up again.

Hey @nurgelrot, thanks for reporting back.

I mark this topic solved for now. If it re-occurs feel free to reopen it again.

undefined @mfs12 I was able to get a photo of it this time. about halfway in nothing is showing on the progress bar. If navigate to another tab it it will update -second shot. Seems to be random when its going to choose to not update And like I said sometimes it the homing buttons not updating but I haven't got a shot of that yet. PanelDue Firmware Version 3.3.0 This printer is using the ribbon cable but it happens on serial too.

And a m122 if its useful...

Hey @Nurgelrot, I wrapped up your problem and trying to investigate it.

In general quite a lot changed in recent versions. Especially from 1.24 but also from 3.2.11. And there will be another iteration with 3.4.0.

Feel free to check the releases on github for major changes:

https://github.com/Duet3D/PanelDueFirmware/releases

I tried to wrap up your process... is this accurate?

setup

hardware PanelDue v3 (fysetc),
firmware PanelDue 3.3.0,

process

select dark theme 1
start a print
wait status page or home buttons are not updated

expected

everything is properly updated all the time

questions

does this happen also with other themes?
how long is you ribbon cable?
do you get any errors in console tab?
are standing in setup tab? (in this tab no communication to RRF is done!!!)

Nurgelrot

@mfs12 Okay I figured this out and its okay to mark it resolved (it was never an issue hahahaha I'm an idiot) The screen isn't updating cuz it's in it's idle and dimmed mode. The lighting in my shop is such that it near impossible to tell the difference between the dim mode and the not dim mode most of the time. So I'd start a job from the web console and walk over to the display later that has been dim the whole time and the bar wouldn't be updated. Soon as I touch the screen it updates. Same with the home buttons. looks like it not homed but as soon as the screen wakes up the buttons assume their proper colors.

Sorry for the noise.

dc42

@nurgelrot it should still update in dimmed mode, just not quite as quickly.

mfs12

@Nurgelrot thanks. for the feedback. Actually what @dc42 is saying is right. When the screen is dimmed communication with the printer just works as normal and PD should receive all updates.

So if you still observe weird things don't hesitate to start a new thread describing your problem.
