[3.6.0-beta.3+1] Extruder stall detection

T3P3Tony

@Leonard03 its currently flagged for After 3.6.0. Once we have 3.6rc1 or 3.6.0 stable out we will have a better idea of what will be in 3.7.

Leonard03

@T3P3Tony Understood. Thank you for the clarification. I will wait

@Leonard03 did extruder stall detection work for you in firmware 3.5.x ?

@Leonard03 for clarification: extruder stall detection does work for the purposes of using an extruder stall to load filament using a G1 H1 Exxx command. Such a use of stall detection does not raise an event.

I have updated https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/issues/930 with info on how to determine whether a G1 H1 E move was terminated by an extruder stall or not.

dc42 created this issue in Duet3D/RepRapFirmware

closed Feature request: when using stall detection filament loading (G1 H1 Exx) flag whether a stall occurred #930

I am sorry for the long time not saying anything. Sadly, even with the 3.6.0-beta.4 the extruder stall detection not seem to work. As stall detection is unavailable for the extruder.

I have this macro to test this:

M17 E0
M302 P1

M913 E40

T0 P0

M83

M915 E0 S-60 H10 R0 F0


var ex0pos = move.extruders[0].position
G1 E-1 F1200  ; small E move of more than 1 full step to ensure that the extruder is not stalled
G4 P250
G1 H1 E67
M400
if (move.extruders[0].position - var.ex0pos < 67)
  echo "Extrusion stopped by stall"
else
  echo "Extrusion completed without stalling"

echo "diff:", move.extruders[0].position - var.ex0pos
M915 E0


M913 E100

No mater the M915 parameters, if driver 3 (in my case) is assigned to an extruder, stall detection does not trigger. If the same driver is assigned to an axis (eg V) stall detection is trigger immediately without any move

~~By the way, for the M915 parameters, E0 sets the correct parameters but P3 don't~~

Another update.
I don't know if is relevant for this issue or not but an observation. Using the macro above, even if cold extrusion is disabled and heater is below minimum extrusion temperature, extruder motor still executes the move, even if DWC report the error "Warning: Tool 0 was not driven because its heater temperatures were not high enough or it has a heater fault"

@Leonard03 have you tested extruder stall detection in RRF 3.6.0-rc,1+1 or rc.1+2 (available at https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/y03luwmbypirbxncla3rk/AAJFLPFsVdFylemyhkXsAac?rlkey=7cq4svp4rzl2ztdffpzq2ghjk&dl=0) ?

Leonard03

@dc42 Yes, now I have 3.6.0-rc.1+2 (2025-03-15 15:41:04) with the same results.
But at tis point, I can confirm that the G1 H1 Exx ignores the M302 command

Leonard03

Is there any update for this?
