DWC comm error

denke

Dear DC,

I dunnot know if you are still interested in 1.21 bugs or not, if you arn't please ignore!

After an unsuccessful delta homing (I set the stepper currents too low causing missed steps on the motion steppers) DWC got disconnected from the duet wifi board, and it could not be reconnected until a Duet board reset. All three versions are 1.21. console.log messages are as follows:

Did you configure high microstepping in the M350 command? It's a known issue that if you use a combination of high microstepping and high speeds when homing, the MaxReps figure (as reported by M122) goes very high unless you use a slow homing speed, resulting in a disconnection. This is because of the additional overhead of checking endstop switches on each step during a homing move.

Microstepping settings:
M350 X16 Y16 Z16 E16 I1

Homing speed is 125mm/s.

I could not reconnect even minutes after the homing has failed, and all movement has stopped

I just spotted the 3 nan values in the machine coordinates. I will fix this in the 1.21.1 maintenance release as well as in 2.0. Thanks for your report.

You are welcome!
