      This issue is happening with filament and other macros as well.

      I have a nice Z-probe calibrating macro but if I execute it right after resetting the Duet it works. If I execute it again or after other macros execution it just set the printer as "busy" and does nothing at all.

      If I execute it line by line it works fine and without issues.

      To try to find the culprit I chopped the macro into several short macros... But the issue is happening right at the first test!!

      The test Macro is as follows:

      M291 P"Please wait while the bed is being heated up" R"Please Wait" S0 T0 ; Display message
      M140 S60 ; Set bed temp to 60
      G32 ; Home all axis
      M116 ; Wait for heating
      M292 Close message
      M291 P"Please wait while the bed is being heated up" R"Please Wait" S3 T0 ; Display message
      M98 P/MACROS/SUBMACROS/BEEP.G

      Now... If I execute this simple macro right after resetting the board then it works flawlessly... But If I execute it right after that it just set the printer as Busy and does nothing at all. I do not heat the bed or show any messages.

      I am having this issue with my filament macros, any macro that uses M292 to show any messages. Not sure when it starts having issues but the latest two RC firmware has the same issue for sure.

      Thank you.

        ok... Pinned down the issue when using M291 with the parameter S0 - If I do not use S0 (using S1 instead) then the issues of halting the printer without doing anything does not happen.

        Nope... happened again even with all S0s as S1s

          Can you post your homeall as well? Would help to see what is happening when you call g28

            Please tell us which firmware version you are using, and try 2.02RC4 if you are using an older version.

              @dc42 I have this issue at least since 2.02RC3 at least (not sure about earlier betas). Currently with RC4.

                Please provide the contents of beep.g too, and I will try those macros out on my printers.

                    Just now. Turned on the printer. Did a G32 command (bed.g attached) and clicked at the Z Probe calibration macro (below). And.... Busy doing nothing.....

                    Just to reinforce: This "busy halt" does not occur if I execute the macro line by line at the console.

                    Here is the macro:

                        By the way... I cannot play any "tunes" without adding these timers between each M300. At least with the PanelDue attached.

                          PanelDue has no flow control, deliberately to avoid holding up the Duet. But I could implement a short queue of beeps pending in the PanelDue firmware.

                            I'm sorry, I can't reproduce the problem using either your test macro or the full macro (I had to make up the contents of 4 more macros thai it called).

                            By the way, your test macro is missing a semicolon before the comment "Close message" on the M292 line.

                            How reproducible is the problem?

                            My best guess as to why it is hanging is that when you cancel the M291 message box, the M292 command to tell the Duet that it has been cancelled is not being received and/or processed. So I have two suggestions:

                            1. Connect a PC running YAT or Pronterface etc. and send M111 S1 P3 to enable GCodes debugging. Then you will be able to see whether the M292 command is received.

                            2. Next time it appears to be stuck, try sending M292 and see whether that un-freezes it.

                              Just happened again...

                              Freshly started board.

                              G32

                              Sent the macro from the 22/11/2018 message above. Appeared the messages informing that the bed and hotend would be heated. Clicked ok and.... halted.

                                  Attached bed.g, calibration macro and all sub macros related.

                                    @dc42 I'll..... But the printer is far from a computer and heavy...... As soon as I am able to move it and connect an USB directly I'll try 😄

                                      @dc42 Please, in order to avoid moving it unnecessarily, is it possible to monitor via telnet or something?

                                        Yes, use the M586 command to enable Telnet.

                                          Next time it appears to be stuck, try sending M292 and see whether that un-freezes it

                                          ok.... It receives the M292 command, confirms it, but the printer still busy doing nothing 😄

                                            Can you send M122 and get a report?

                                                Thanks. I can see two odd things in that report:

                                                http is doing "M291 P"Please wait while the bed and tool is being heated up" R"Please Wait" S1 T0 " in state(s) 0 0
                                                

                                                It is still waiting for the M291 message box to be acknowledged, as if it hasn't received M292. So sending M292 should get it running again.

                                                Scheduled moves: 35, completed moves: 36
                                                

                                                Doing one more move than was scheduled doesn't sound right. But I don't think this is part of the problem you are seeing.

                                                I'll review the M292 handling and see if there is any way that a M292 command might be missed.

                                                  @dc42 Thanks!

                                                  I am not sure when this issues started (I think it is with this latest 2.02 series of betas and RCs) but I did not have them before with the same macros.

                                                  For now I'll just comment all non critical M291 from these macros 😄

                                                    @dc42 Same issue with RC5 - not using M291 S0 T0, swapped all of them to S1. The first M291 S1 message does not even appear.

                                                      If it doesn't appear, no wonder it gets stuck! It's waiting for the M292 command to be returned from DWC to tell it that you have acknowledged the message box. I can't think why it wouldn't appear, other than a network issue. Does your system have a PanelDue, and if so does the message box appear on it?
