hope you all have a safe and happy holiday
from down under on a wet humid day , hope Santa delivers a filament dryer

when you go to back up the Macros and system files it saves them as the name "download" would be nice if it was macros[date] and system[date]

Cheers

Hi yes it will be all shared , plus we will also put in the acknowledgements and web links etc to all the other contributors

BME connected and working , i have used spi.cs2

M308 s11 y"bme280" p"spi.cs2" A"Ambient temp"
M308 s12 y"bmepressure" p"s11.1" A"Pressure[hPa]"
M308 s13 y"bmehumidity" p"s11.2" A"Humidity[%]"

A bit of info as the Pin out description on the BME not the same as Duet board

Backing up the system/macros files and folders , if you select all the files and folders in either system or macros it wont let you save to a zip file until you unselect the folders , can this be changed so everything can be zipped?

@nick9one1

you have a G28 in you end code, and in your start code you can do G32 for your beg.g file

Also i have noticed that i cannot connect to the printer, if the printer is on before the PC which i use to connect to the printer . pressing the reset button on the printer then gets a connection .

Sorry, steppers I'm good at but as simple as they are, I suck at endstops.

@moth4017

Ok even though the firmware new that the tool T0 was selected adding T0 to the config seems to have fixed this issue.

@magnets99 hi
that what i did to find the error was to comment out each macro, it would be nice if the file could be listed as well as the line number and the column

@Phaedrux the error isnt in the config it was in another macro called by the config file, but you dont know which macro that causes
the error message

i have this error in the console
Error in start-up file macro line 36: in file macro line 36 column 26: meta command: expected an expression

but its not in the config file as line 36 is:-

its in another macro somewhere ?

Backing up the system/macros files and folders , if you select all the files and folders in either system or macros it wont let you save to a zip file until you unselect the folders , can this be changed so everything can be zipped?

in the above dialogue box can there be an option to add number of measurements in x and y , instead of distance.
eg, X=5 y =8

from the settings above i ran an auto tune to see how long it would take , ambient air 18C
M303 H0 P1 S100
the PID tune took 37 minutes and i got back this response

Warning: heater behaviour was not consistent during tuning
Auto tuning heater 0 completed after 4 idle and 25 tuning cycles in 1620 seconds. This heater needs the following M307 command:
M307 H0 R0.812 K0.268:0.000 D3.35 E1.35 S1.00 B0
Edit the M307 H0 command in config.g to match this. Omit the V parameter if the heater is not powered from VIN.

My first auto tune took much longer

so my bed has been working fine with those settings above and the results were not much different .

previous settings working ok "M307 H0 R0.838 K0.331:0.000 D3.08 E1.35 S0.90 B0"
settings after the PID tune "M307 H0 R0.812 K0.268:0.000 D3.35 E1.35 S1.00 B0"

@DonStauffer the bed PID tune does take a long time i have a 340mm x 340mm x 8mm thick Keenovo 700W /220Vac , if you have a heated or insulated chamber even longer .
here is my PID tune if it helps

My sensor is in a hole drilled in the edge of the aluminum bed . not using the one on the silicone heater

M307 H0 R0.838 K0.331:0.000 D3.08 E1.35 S0.90 B0

if you send M307 H0 in the console you will get a report
Heater 0: heating rate 0.838, cooling rate 0.331, dead time 3.08, max PWM 0.90, mode PID
Predicted max temperature rise 198°C
PID parameters: heating P69.2 I2.156 D149.1, steady P69.2 I6.103 D149.1

@mirellehgf something as simple as a silicon sock on the heater block can help , especially if your part cooling fan is blowing on it .

@gloomyandy i did look , great

When there is an error in a Macro file the error message in the console is like this
Error: in file macro line 32 column 33: meta command: unknown variable

Can it also name the macro file instead of just "Macro" it would make tracking down the issue much easier .

cheers
