DWC 3.4.0 beta4 troubles
-
I am not sure if it is me or the Beta:
On the DWC main screen, in the heaters section, there is a 'control heaters' dohicky (not a tab) in the right top corner. It seems to have acquired the functionality to turn off the bed heater which is great in theory but in actual use, nothing happens when I click on 'turn everything off'.
If somebody could confirm that this is a 'thing' and not just an old fart fat finger syndrome please ?

For me the "turn everything off" button works, but there seem to be a couple of problems with it.
The first being that you have two slider buttons rather than a radio button.
This allows setting both the tool and bed temperature at the same time, but they both end up the same temp.
The second is that it activates the bed, but not the tool heater. This may be deliberate.
The third is that the temps in the drop-down list are drawn only from the tool temp settings, even if you only have "set bed" active. -
@owend, I tested it again and got the same issue ... I only use that feature when the print has had an issue and not all heaters have turned off (g-code file was aborted). Previously, when I clicked on 'turn everything off', all tool heaters would zero but the bed heater would not turn off and I had to do that manually.
Thank you for confirming there are issues (although different from what I see) -
@jens55 Can you post a screenshot of the new buttons? I'm not sure I have it at all (on the SBC version).

@gloomyandy, here you go:
First screenshot is the main page, second screen shot is after clicking on 'control heaters'.
I was messing about with that and had one instance where things worked but then, as you can see in the second shot, the bed did not turn off (screenshot taken after clicking on 'turn everything off')
Anyway, I need to look at it some more because sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

@jens55 Thanks! I don't think I've ever clicked on "Control Heaters"!

@jens55 It works as expected on my setup, although it may take a moment if the machine is still doing something (like homing all axes). Do you see any errors in the JS console when you press it? If not, can you please share your config.g?
@OwenD Radio buttons may be better, I'll check if we can change it. And yes, it's deliberate that setting tool temps doesn't activate the tool heaters right away because that may not be desired (basically DWC just sends
G10for every tool). But good point about the temp presets, I'll change that too.The switches at the bottom are inteneded only for controlling the active/standby temperatures whereas the button at the top is meant to turn everything off. A horizontal line to separate these two control methods may be adequate though.

@chrishamm, first I must acknowledge that I forgot about delays when the heaters are trying to get up to temperature and everything might be blocked.
Let me give you my sequence of events
All heaters are off, all axis are homed.
Activate bed heater, ser temperature to 60C.
Wait while bed heats up
Click on 'control heaters'
First try set temperatures to zero, sliders on the bottom are both in the 'off' state
Click on 'turn everything off'
Nothing happens the setting window is still open, the bed heater is still on.econd try - both sliders are set to 'on'
Click on 'turn everything off'
Same non-action as before.
Note that the 'turn everything button' shows that it was clicked by a colour shiftI am not sure what I am doing wrong but IMHO when I click on 'turn everything off', all heaters should just turn off. In previous versions, all the tool heaters would turn off but the bed never did.
Not sure how to get to the JS console (firefox on Ubuntu 21)
