Hi,

Is there still an active plan for a new Smart Effector?
If yes, would it be possible to share what would be main changes / improvements (CAN bus, accelerometer, dimension...)

I was looking at this thread https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/19522/smart-effector-including-toolboard-capabilities which contains a lot a great stuff.

Thanks

This is fully resolved in 3.4.0-b4 using Chrome, Firefox and Edge

@mfs12 Amazing upgrade since the last version I tested, it’s a way more user-friendly!
I just started to use it and the experience is smoother, it’s definitively a more “finished” feature

I love being able to setup the multiple algorithms and run of them together.

A few things:
1- Name field in the configure tab is reset to “unknown” after having deleted the records - Don't know if this is on purpose, it just surprised me.
2- Adding the possibility to zoom-in the graph or select the frequency range would be nice
3- That one is probably not an easy one: better assignation of colors. It seems to cycle over 3 set of colors (record 0,3 6 has same colors; 1,4,7 the same and 2,5,8 the same again)
That's a graph I generated to compare quickly 2 frequencies against the 4 type of compensations.

4- Being able to do a record with no move would be nice to capture the “default” machine vibration
5- It seems to have a validation like Start Position must be greater than Stop Position which prevent to do records with move going on the left
6- Can you confirm if the Start Position can be lower that 0 on a Delta? I cannot test it for the moment
7- Suggestion: Move the Delete button above the table with the records - the checkbox to select all is on the top.

I'm impatient to see some of the items from the road map being implemented

Just wanted to let you know that the issue I reported on the b6 for the Delta here https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/26033/3-4-0-b6-delta-print-leaning-moving-on-y-and-z/12 appears to have been resolved in the b7

I will try to make a few prints on my 2 deltas during the next days

I just went through the documentation and started to play a little with it on my Delta - It is a really good work.
I'm finding it pretty user-friendly and the documentation is really helpful.

One suggestion I would like to make: would it be possible to add a button to save the selected IS config into the config-override.g file or maybe update the M500 command.

@mfs12 Sign me up for French!

Just did a quick test, same piece printed at .3 and .15mm layer height.
The .15 is leaning more than the .3

It's more obvious than on the picture.

The 2 gcode files are in the zip file below
test-gcode.zip.txt

I hope that's useful to help with the troubleshooting.

@mfs12 That's a detail: when configuring the Input Shaping to none, there is a validation on the frequency - it's not really an issue but Algorithm = none and Frequency = 0 are the defaulted values.

Also, in the filename, would it be possible to include the parameters (frequency and damping) used?
It would be useful when comparing the different graphs.

@mfs12 I adjusted the status, they should all be 15 chr or less.
Let me know if I missed something

@dc42 Good news, I loaded this version on my 2 CoreXY and sensorless homing is working like before with the original parameters

I will try to run some prints on them today / this weekend and report any issue found.

@dc42 I will use either a v3 or v4 depending what I can find here, I cannot find any stock in Canada.

I'm planning to use some ferrule connectors but I'm open to better options/recommendations.

I'm considering to upgrade one of my Delta with a 100w Mosquito Magnum+ (24v; 2x 50w in parallel).

Can the heater port on the Smart Effector accept at least 4.2A? I searched in the documentation but I have not been able to find this info.

Thanks!

@T3P3Tony Thank you for the prompt response!
I might have found someone with the tools and skills to replace the components.
If it doesn't work, I will buy a new one.

Any idea when the new version of the Smart Effector might be released?

Sadly, today I had a short on one of my Smart Effector, it now blinks 7 times the probe appears to be dead.

I guess there is no easy way to fix it? I don't have access to fancy soldering iron or other specialized tool.

I'm made a new version for the Bred Air pump specifically designed to the Rapido (standard or UHF)

It can be downloaded here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5472580

This design is not compatible with the Revo as it is shorter, I am working on a new version with the tubes on the side.

I have been working on a dual berd air pump setup lately for high speed.

One this design the 2 pumps are combined before the pipes, the new version have one pump dedicated to in internal pipes and the other to to external pipes.

I'm not an expert on CAD

@chrishamm Installed it this evening on my Predator, it's fairly easy to use and compare the different graphs.

I would suggest 2 things:
1- Add the damping factor used in the records

I started to "play" with the damping factor to see the impact on the graphs but I lost track of the value used at one point.

2- It took me a little bit of time to realize that I needed to click on the check-mark for set the Shaper Center Frequency and Damping factor.

I think I was "deceived" because changing the Shaper Center value immediately moves the blue bar in the graph so I wrongly assumed it would use it when doing a new record.
I must admit that I didn't paid much attention to the summary in the first modal box.

This has been mentioned before, I don't know if it has been fixed in this beta but I'm getting this message as well

This printer has a Duet 2 Wifi and a Smart Effector v3

@t3p3tony Excellent, thank you so much for these detailed instructions!
I will try first on an old damaged Smart Effector v2 to make sure I can do it

@t3p3tony That's smart, I like it - Thanks for the prompt response!
This sounds pretty easy to do.

I have only one doubt: Can I physically connect (solder) the resistance on the Smart Effector pins T1 and T4 or it needs to be a separated circuit?

If it has to be separated, I will design a resistance holder with a connector and mount it on the Smart Effector.

I have a couple of Deltas and a few Smart Effector with different hotends, all of them have some magballs so technically speaking it is very easy to swap them.

I was wondering if there is a way to identify which Smart Effector is currently installed on the printer and then select the configuration to use (M665, M666, z-offset, hotend heater PID values, max temp...).
I would like to avoid using the slicer start script, I feel it will be prone to error.

I know RRF allows to load different configurations but if it could be selected based on the Smart Effector installed (using a serial #, internal ID...) and some conditional gcode that would be ideal.

As an alternative option, is it possible to query the sensitivity of the Smart Effector? This could be an (unperfect) workaround.

I'm pretty sure it's not possible but somehow I'm hoping to be wrong.
