waiting for status

Proschi3D

Hello,

How can I wait for a status, e.g. active, standby or off, in order to continue afterwards

chrishamm

@Proschi78 What status do you mean? In principle something like that will do:

while state.status != "processing"
  G4 S1

@Proschi78
I want to do a pid tuning and after the left extruder start tuning on the right.
I want to start the pid on the right extruder when the status of the left one is either stanby or off

chrishamm

@Proschi78 So you're talking about heaters. In that case something like this should work:

; tune heater 1 and wait for it to finish
M303 H1 S210
while heat.heaters[1].state != "standby" && heat.heaters[1].state != "off"
  G4 S1

; tune heater 2 and wait for it to finish
M303 H2 S210
while heat.heaters[2].state != "standby" && heat.heaters[2].state != "off"
  G4 S1

; tuning finished, save parameters to config-override.g
M500

@chrishamm

thank you very much I will test that

Proschi3D

@Proschi78 do I need something in deamone.g for that

@Proschi78 i would do that in a macro for tuning heaters. you don't want it in deamon.g because that runs all the time and your heater tuning will only (presumably) run once or maybe a few times per machine.

Proschi3D

@T3P3Tony have expressed myself wrong.
i meant do i need deamone.g to get the status of the heater?
or if the macro works without deamone.g

T3P3Tony

@Proschi78 daemon.g is a macro that the system runs every 10s, in other ways its no different for any other macro.

the information that you are using, e.g. heat.heaters[1].state comes from the object model:
https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/wiki/Object-Model-Documentation

so you can access it from any macro.

Is there a way to save the PID result directly in a filament config?

Proschi3D

@Proschi78 I got it.
Now I still have the problem that the file is always deleted and recreated.
Is it possible to only update the file and not delete it?

; tune heater 1 and wait for it to finish
M303 H1 S210
while heat.heaters[1].state != "standby" && heat.heaters[1].state != "off"
  G4 S1

; tune heater 2 and wait for it to finish
M303 H2 S210
while heat.heaters[2].state != "standby" && heat.heaters[2].state != "off"
  G4 S1
M291 S3 R"The results of the PID tune have been automatically saved" P"You can view the results of the PID tune in the PID_tune_E0.g file"

; tune heater 2 and wait for it to finish
;M303 H0 S60
;while heat.heaters[0].state != "standby" && heat.heaters[0].state != "off"
;  G4 S1
; tuning finished, save parameters to config-override.g
M500
M570 H0 P5 T15							; set heater fault detection back to default

@Proschi78
I'm not sure why you want to save the PID results in a filament config.g
The results should be the same regardless of filament.
Use M500 to save them to config-overide.g

In addition, I think you should change your wait state to

while heat.heaters[1].state = "tuning"
    G4 S1

So that you are actually checking if it is tuning.
The available states are here
For example your code would continue immediately if the state was "fault"

Proschi3D

@OwenD I call the PID over M703. The code works as I posted it above
