It would be really nice if Duet Web Control could Log the temperatures and positions with timestamps that it receives from the board to a CSV locally on the machine where Duet Web Control is running in the Browser.

Hello,
It would be extremely useful to support using an absolute linear encoder to close the position loop on BISS-C Absolute Linear encoders as the linear element in a dual loop configuration.

To that end, there is a relatively (~$10USD) affordable IC that is SPI accessible that can handle 2 BISS-C/SSI encoders.

In this case, instead of using the duet magnetic encoder on the motor and a quadrature encoder on the load,
you could use either a quadrature encoder on the motor and a BISS-C Absolute linear encoder on the load.
Alternatively, the IC-MB4 supports 2 BISS-C encoders when used with external RS-422 transceivers so you could just use a second absolute Biss-C encoder on the motor itself, so you don't have to phase the motor upon power on.

The TMC4671 (https://www.trinamic.com/products/integrated-circuits/details/tmc4671/) can support steppers, Three-Phase, and DC motors/voice coils all running closed loop with Field Oriented Control for steppers and three phase motors.

Having an expansion board running one or more of these of these drivers with a power stage of 4 half bridges would allow maximum flexibility for motors/feedback.

There are dual feedback inputs so you can have one feedback mechanism for commutation and one for the actual position loop. They support both incremental ABN encoders, Hall sensors, and BISS-C/SSI encoders.

This would allow you to drive essentially any motor in step/direction mode from a duet.

Sweet tiny extruder with a micro geared dc motor for the smallest direct drive possible (https://www.pololu.com/product/3055)? You got It!

Drive a linear motor for the absolute fastest speeds for benchy printing? You can do it!

Motor torque feedback for extruder pushing force tracking and grinding prevention? Totally doable.

Want to drive a voice coil optical stage that you got on ebay just because? Easy.

Got your hands on some optical scales from a CNC and never want to use limit switches again? Sure.

That's a lot of functionality for a 12USD chip...

It would be really interesting to support Image serving in the M291 command to better allow setup procedure to be shown that aren't easily described using text.

Use cases would be things like CNC setups, cleaning procedures, bed prep procedures, warnings to clear certain areas, etc.

I( have a couple of procedures where it would be really helpful to allow operators to check visual references against an image.

This could even be a pi exclusive feature if the Duet 3 MB6HC can't handle serving image files.

See this reference from HAAS on what this could look like. Massive Cheese warning....

I have a similar situation where this would be very useful in general for heater outputs for multi-heater beds and extruders and other things.

You'll want to use the general IO headers for this.
Choose one, I usually start with IO_1.
Connect 5V_ext to V+.
Connect Ground to Ground.
Connect the Signal pin to IO_X.in

@t3p3tony Running in standalone mode.
2 boards were showing the error when I checked for you. Here's the M122 output.

M105 doesn't output anything because we have no heaters set up.

@droftarts Tried fixing that, no change, running config.g manually reports no errors.

@dc42
Errors persist for a couple of minutes at a time.
They display temperatures of other sensors on the same expansion board, it is intermittent though.
The main board has never had any duplication

I have a temperature sensor array using 1 duet 3 main board and 4 exp3hc boards with PT1000 sensors hooked up to all ports.

Temperature sensors on the expansion boards only (not the main board) seem to duplicate the value of other ports on that board even though they are at very different temperatures.

This seems to be a per expansion board thing so the 3 temperature sensors per board will only seem to sporadically duplicate sensors on the same board.

All boards are on 3.3 stable. I have tried other versions and they seem to do the same thing.

Also, is it possible to have the change the graph temperature range?

Config is below.

Ex. 2 different sensors with very different temperatures, but they read the same.

Just set steps per unit to1?

@dc42 is there more detail on how segmentation works? If I pause mid move with segmentation on, move a motor, G92 a couple axes and then resume, will it resume mid segment?

Hi, I'm trying to tune a pesky unstable heater. Autotuning is unstable for various reasons, so I am having to tune M307/M301 Parameters by hand.

Do I need to turn off the heater to change the heater model/PID parameters or can I change them on the fly? It's hard to tell whether the new parameters have taken effect.

If I run a M301 to try some Legacy PID parameters and I want to switch back to an M307 heater model afterwards do I need to reset the board before doing that to remove the overrides or can I just send an M307?

@dc42 Thank you, this is very useful!
