New experimental firmware 1.20beta2

[KeeganB]

Is anyone seeing any weird behavior with controlling heaters?

on fresh power up both the hot end and the bed heaters are set to "off." When I click them in DWC I can cycle through to active, but then it goes into "changing tool" mode and I can't do anything until it hits target temp…?

That's normal behaviour if you have tool change files that wait for your tools to reach temperature.

Ah, I found it! I think these must have been created by the RRF configurator. I recently used it to redo all of my config files fresh in an attempt to solve my wifi issues. Thanks David.

I think I figured out an issue. It has something to do with how the Duet powers up and initializes. If it powers and hits some race condition or if I try to home it before it finishes some part of the startup routine – which is not clear when it does, it doesn't home correctly, if I wait a couple of minutes after power up. It appears to work properly.
Is there a way to add something to end config.g to print a message to the console -- Ready or something like that?

Additional, i'm not able to print Files with Spaces or Brackets in the Filename anymore.

They upload just fine, but they are not able to print cause they will not be found. The Filename is not the same anymore.

Uploaded a File Test Cube (0.4).gcode

Trying to print:

[[language]]
M32 Test Cube (0.4).gcode
Error: M32: GCode file "Test Cube .gcode" not found
 

As you can see, eveything after ( will be cutted. Even if the Space after Cube is visible, no Special-Character can be used.

The open-bracket character starts a comment in standard CNC gcode, so filenames with brackets in them should never have been allowed - just like filenames with semicolons in them. In the 1.20release I intend to allow filenames in commands such as M32 to have double quotation marks around them, which will provide a way round this.

I've just released 1.20beta3 which fixes a number of bugs in 1.20beta2. See the whats_new file for details.

Ah, was not aware of this. Sorry if i've overseen this.

Will test beta3 now

Btw the standard I am referring to is http://ws680.nist.gov/publication/get_pdf.cfm?pub_id=823374 and section 3.3.4 describes comments. We have increasing interest in using Duets to control CNC machines, so I am striving for a greater compatibility with CNC gcode, without having to use a separate build of the firmware.

Confirmed the Error is gone for config-override.g

Thanks, waiting for Final of it But, i hope that we see always an ongoing release of Firmware(s)

Mhh, tried to do a simulation via WebIf and it stucks at 0.5%, also it is not possible to cancel the print. Need to press Emergency-Stop

I confirm there is a bug in simulation mode, in 1.20b2 and b3.

Latest stable firmware is always at https://github.com/dc42/RepRapFirmware/releases. Read the upgrade notes first, especially the ones for upgrading from 1.18 to 1.19.

My fault, i wanna know if i can use the latest Beta Version from my current Version or do i have to use Beta 1 and after that Beta 2?

[dc42]

Yes, you can upload directly to the latest beta from 1.19.2.

[dc42]

I've just published 1.20beta4 to fix a couple more bugs.

[DjDemonD]

beta 4 working for me, just completed a print no issues.

Thanks for the feedback.
