@omni IIRC panel only sends M24 to the board and board then calls resume.g and resumes the print after M25/M226. The way to cancel is iirc M0/M1/M2/M112 ... again just sending code from panel to board... what you could do is add some M117 to the resume.g and cancel.g to display some debug message to know what script was executed by the RRF so you will know what code was sent..

I know I myself often click on cancel instead on resume on octoprint web interface (printer not related to RRF in any way) 'cause the buttons are not logical at that point .. maybe it is a human error

@T3P3Tony said in PanelDue designations:

@arhi its an option for a display controller thats on the market. These chips sit between the PanelDue or other controller and the LCD screen itself.

cool, so duet has nothing to do with that design it's just a type of LCD .. clear

(I'm rather inexperienced with all the cpld/fpga stuff .. I learned it and do use them in my projects from time to time but even after years I'd not call myself even a junior in that field due to really low number of projects I used them in ... so wherever I see interesting application of them I try to get as much data as I can so I learn / gain some new ideas)

@dc42 said in PanelDue designations:

@arhi there is or was a 7" display that used a CPLD chip instead of a conventional display controller.

Interesting This was designed by you/duet or was some off the market display? Never seen one of those, thanks for the info

@dc42 said in PanelDue designations:

7C is for a 7" display with a CPLD controller

CPLD ? Is there a schematic available for this somewhere (super interested to see what you used CPLD for on paneldue) ? Thanks

@crookid the 15$ board from TL is amplifier for PT100 that should be a copy of the ultimaker PT100 amplifier.

On the marlin you would connect the output directly to a analog input pin (no 4k7 voltage divider resistor) and you would set the RTD type to 20. If you look at Marlin source:
https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin/blob/57ca996c31e39b6935e2a24451040fa4379dc23e/Marlin/Configuration.h#L515
you see that

 *    20 : Pt100  with circuit in the Ultimainboard V2.x with mainboard ADC reference voltage = INA826 amplifier-board supply voltage.
 *                NOTE: (1) Must use an ADC input with no pullup. (2) Some INA826 amplifiers are unreliable at 3.3V so consider using sensor 147, 110, or 21.

so, in order to use this amp board (from triangle labs or from ultimaker or ..) you need clear analog input pin on the DUET.

If we look at the duet schematic:

the thermistor0,1,2 have 4k7 to advref (pullup/voltage divider) so you cannot use them, but you should be able to use any of the thermistor4-7 pins to feed in the output of that amplifier board.

That should work wrt how to connect. Now, how to configure PT100 amp in the firmware to show proper temp values - I have no clue, someone else will have to step in

@dc42 said in Does anyone here work on Superslicer?:

able us to display thumbnail images on Panel

Sounds great! Only SS and PS? How about S3D and IdeaMaker?

Both s3d and IdeaMaker are closed source so none of us can add anything to them. When at least one other slicer support this and the paneldue is parsing this we can request on the s3d and ideamaker forums for them to support this feature too.

Now, s3d is dead so nothing will happen there for sure, IdeaMaker is awesome (my slicer of choice) but they are pretty slow to implement features that are totally unusable for their own printers. They only recently added octoprint integration (they had network upload and network printing with their own custom printers for years) .. but since they already embed some image in gcode if I remember correctly for their own printers this might go faster than octoprint integration

@o_lampe said in Duet 2 Ethernet and SBC:

@arhi @PCR @deadwood83
Sorry for digging out this old thread, but I was curious if it would make sense to make a Duet2 adapter board for the RasPi Zero 2W?

I have very bad experience with rpizero boards so...

As for the duet2+sbc, I made this for test, it worked and I let it be, I focused on making some adaption software as external network app and not something that would run on sbc... and that was looong time ago (from when this thread was live) and since then I maybe had 2 hours of printing time total .. too busy with work ... hopefully I'll be able to come back to 3d printers in spring but I got me some resin printers dunno if I'll spend much time with duet boards I want to spend some time with them first

@petriheino said in PA tuning:

Hi, Im trying to repeat this test and trying to find solution.

@arhi did you found any solution for it or which way did you go with retraction/PA settings?

did not turn on any of my printers for almost a year.. too much work to be done, no time for hobbies so nothing done about this

@masso said in Configuring S42B Close Loop Stepper Controller:

@arhi check if ..

not running marlin, was stepping from my own rig, very slow, like 1sec on, 1sec off, so that was not an issue... configuration and calibration were all ok, oled on all 5 drivers ... it's just not working ok, skipping steps, missing positions .. dunno if it is firmware or hw problem I gave them away my time is waaaaaaaaaaay to valuable to be wasting them on debugging PRC hw

@fcwilt said in CAM software recommendations:

My bad - I thought you were asking about computer aided modeling, not manufacturing.

no worries, it is sw to recommend for everyone to try imho, many would find it super intuitive.... I hoped they published CAM too with a different view of the cam process than these other tools, who knows, maybe they will

@jens55 said in CAM software recommendations:

@arhi, maybe it's time to give freecad another try .....

Well they did not do anything significant in past year, just standard bug fixes and moving forward so I doubt you will change your mind. It's just how our minds work and what our previous experiences are ... mine LightWave -> SoftImage -> SolidWorks + SolidCAM -> onShape -> f360 -> freeCAD makes me like the freeCAD way of doing things better than the way they are done in F360, since you already tried out both F360 and freeCAD and you prefer F360 I doubt you will change your mind ... there's nothing significantly different implemented in FreeCAD in past 2 years that would make that happen ... that is why it is good to have variety of tools we can chose from so everyone can find what suits them ... even when I was using F360 every day I hated every moment of it... freeCAD has waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more bugs than F360 and is sooooooooo unpolished compared to F360 and is visually "childish and ugly" compared to F360 but still even with all that it's a joy for me to work in it ... try it of course, I go back and try F360 every 5-6 months to see if something changed but..

@fcwilt said in CAM software recommendations:

I've tried several but I settled on this one:

Moment of Inspiration

I did not know MOI now has CAM module too? I know it was rather interesting concept for CAD but it had no CAM support at all?

@jens55 said in CAM software recommendations:

I find that fusion is just much superior

To each it's own. I pay a lot for SW licences, I have no issue with paying for licences and I don't use "fixes/cures/medicines/cr%$#ks" for almost 15 years... The major issue with this policy for me are 2 apps, altium designer and solidworks. I did not find a suitable replacement with acceptable price. Altium I replaced with kicad, it is not from the same planet as altium, but I tested everything up to 1000$ perpetual licence and kicad was better than all of them so I moved to kicad... for solidworks, I was actually very happy with onshape, F360 I never was too happy with and now with FreeCAD I'm not nearly as happy as I would be with SolidWorks but I personally find it way faster and waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more powerful than f360 ... but that's me, taste and all.. Even when I was using F360 (before their last move) I had to open freecad from time to time to open, fix, convert some parts that F360 could not deal with... anyhow if you like F360 free version - great that Autodesk is giving free version kudos to them, who like it should use it.. I use netfabb from Autodesk, I used it before it was purchased by Autodesk (paid 4 digit euro price for it, still have the dongle...) I use it now when it is Autodesk, still no1 tool for manipulation of stl's out there IMHO (yes I have meshmixer and meshlab and...)

I moved from onshape to f360 when onshape messed up their policy for the free ride, then I moved from f360 to freecad when the f360 crippled the free version ... took me way less to adapt from f360 to freecad than it took me to adapt from onshape to f360 (I normally used to use SolidWorks, and back in the day I used lightwave and softimage) so you should have no issues migrating to freecad... just one hint - get nightly build, not the stable version

btw I still use openSCAD a lot for the CAD, I really recommend everyone try it out, it's not for everyone but for those who like it, they will love it .. there is some talk about using openSCAD for CAM here but I never tried

U used PyCAM back in the day, no clue if it's still being maintained, I know it was pretty stale for a while .. looking at github repo that's supposed to be new home for it and looks like no one touched it in a good way for 3 years so looks like attm freecad is the best open source, free, CAM solution out there

I didn't read the whole thread so apologies if this was already in but ESP module is nice and cheap but does not play nice with all wifi hw out there... There are AP's that ESP will just not talk to. I had terrible issues with few AP's (one was some PRC noname repeater, one was tp-link dual something, and one was some xfinity router) ... the noname one I gave to a friend who use it for travel, works great but just don't work with ESP, no matter what you do, xfinity I tried everything also, does not work, got rid of it, tp-link, I changed the original firmware with openwrt and it not works ok with ESP modules ... I see you are using xfinity, might be impossible to solve the problem (maybe, dunno, maybe someone can), the easiest solution is to have second, el cheapo, access point that works ok with ESP modules connected to that xfinity with it's own SSID that you can use for your "internet of things" that's using ESP in huge percentages..

@dessiverse said in USB Connection Unreliable when Printing:

@dc42 The problem is that when trying to print via OctoPrint there's an error being thrown Too many consecutive timeouts, printer still connected and alive? So I can't use OctoPrint with the Duet board. It seems like this problem is happening specifically when G29 is running.

There is config in octoprint to tell it about "long running commands" that will solve this problem for you.

ADUM3160 usb isolators are awesome for solving issues with ground loops

it's cheap and solves the problem by completely isolating USB. I use it on all equipment that has contact with high voltage (12V is high voltage as 12V on the USB data line will kill the USB port on the PC and probably a whole motherboard too depending on the day you are having)

@neodue ah, I forgot about that post, I had them printed and mounted on the bed as more than enough space here, I just believe since it is solved now as much info as possible in single place so when someone tomorrow ends up reading it they will know how to reproduce

@apak glad to hear, I assumed since you tagged me you were talking about other stuff :D, but yes, I mentioned both things so makes sense ... great that it works!!! I myself converted few from wifi to eth I hate wifi on static equipment
