@jltx In the standalone there is no configuration file. I put the the program files in the home directory, within an FTP share, so that I can access the videos over FTP. You can also access them from a web browser. The configuration is done upon launch with command switches. This is what I use, it is for 2 cameras:

sudo python3 /home/pi/ftp/files/DuetLapse/DuetLapse3.py -duet 192.168.1.8 -minvideo 3 -maxvideo 12 -seconds 3 -detect none -dontwait -restart -camera1 stream -weburl1 http://cam.local:8081/101/stream -camera2 stream -weburl2 http://cam.local:8081/102/stream -basedir /home/pi/ftp/files/DuetLapse -standby -deletepics -verbose -keeplogs -port 8094 -extratime 2 -fps 30

This produces a maximum of 12 seconds of video (less if the print time is very short). If the print time is longer, the frame rate goes up instead of the duration of the video. At the end, there will be 2 seconds of a still image of the finished print. This is for a corexy printer, if you have a bedslinger you will need to have commands to center the bed for each snapshot, and you would probably want to do it between layers.
In order to run duetlapse at startup, I put the preceeding command in my "/etc/rc.local" file.
In order to automatically trigger duetlapse, you need to create 4 (ideally) .g files in your printers' system folder. I have it set up like this:
DuetLapse3Start.g

M291 P"DuetLapse3.start" S1 T5 ;Start DuetLapse3

DuetLapse3Pause.g

M291 P"DuetLapse3.pause" S1 T5 ;pause DuetLapse3

DuetLapse3Continue.g

M291 P"DuetLapse3.continue" S1 T5 ;resume DuetLapse3

DuetLapse3Stop.g

M291 P"DuetLapse3.completed" S1 T5 ;Stop DuetLapse3
G4 S10   ;pause for 10 seconds

in my pause.g file, I add this line:

M98 P"DuetLapse3pause.g" ;Pause DuetLapse 3

This pauses the timelapse when you pause the print.
In my resume.g file I add this line:

M98 P"DuetLapse3continue.g" ;resume timelapse

This resumes the timelapse when I resume a print.

In order to trigger the timelapse upon the start of a print, I need to add commands to my slicer's start and end gcode.
To the start gcode:

M98 P"DuetLapse3Start.g" ;start timelapse

Place this after your command to turn on LED Lighting, if you have it.
To the end gcode:

M98 P"DuetLapse3Stop.g" ;Stop Timelapse
M400	;Wait for timelapse to stop

Place this line before your command to turn off your LED lighting, if you have it.

That should about do it

@jltx it works for me currently. I'll try and get some info for you later on.
Edit:
Just saw you wanted the plug-in version. I'm using standalone. If you want help with that though, I can help.

@dc42
So in my case the S parameter should be 100?

@droftarts
So I fooled around with a bit more and while I did eventually get my XY ortho compensation adjusted, the calculator doesn't seem to work properly. Here are the results of some tests I did. The value "skew" is what the calculator spat out using the numbers above.

1
AC 140.5
BD 142.15
AD 100
Skew: -0.0116755
2
AC 141.25
BD 141.84
AD 100
Skew:  -0.0041683
3
AC 141.6
BD 141.36
AD 100
Skew:  0.0016965
4
AC 141.96
BD 140.98
AD 100
Skew:  0.0069275

Things went in the right direction for a while, but then the numbers started getting further apart. I decided to take a guess and used a skew value of -0.008. I got this:

AC 141.42
BD 141.44
AD 100

Almost perfect!
I punched those numbers into the calculator just to see what would happen and it gave me this value:

Skew:-0.0001414

Now what are the chances that is right? I didn't even bother testing with that value.
It occurs to me that the calculator has no input for the current skew value. It has one for skew mm, but in all the examples on the documentation that was set to 0 and the part of the documentation I'm following does not use skew mm, it uses skew factor as part of the diagonal measurement method.
Is the test meant to be run with a skew factor of 0 set in config.g?
Thanks

Note that there is no need for a delay after each message

Sweet! Appreciate your work. Great stuff.

@droftarts
So this is the new config file from RRF config tool, I made the changes you mentioned. Some of the stuff in custom settings is copied over from my old config.g, but most of it is disabled for now.

As for the laser, I do have a tool, but I don't always use it. I've had that setting in my config.g in the past without my UI changing. I guess I should only enable that setting when I'm using my laser?
As for the steps per mm settings being switched around, I did that so I wouldn't have to multiply all the values by 16 and have crazy large numbers to deal with. I switched them back and used 16x microstepping with interpolation.
I have calibrated my extruder, but it was quite a while ago.

@osterac
It's doing another weird thing. When I uncomment this line in the config file:

M452 C"!exp.heater4" F200                                    ; laser uses heater4 pin,  PWM frequency 200Hz

The web interface looks like this:

It goes back to normal when I comment that line out and restart the mainboard (but not if I just run the config.g file).
Ideas?
Thanks

@osterac
I tried wiping my SD and starting from scratch with reprap config tool and RRF 3.4.5 but the problem remains

@T3P3Tony
Unfortunately I'm still having the problem where it is printing very thick lines. They are ~1.5mm thick when they should be 0.8. The prints look awful.

PS I also get this when I run my config.g file

Error: Heater 1 not switched on due to bad model

The number of lines in the wall is different in the gcode vs what actually printed
YACS xy.gcode

It's also way out of square (more than before)

@droftarts
@T3P3Tony
Slight problem,
with the new firmware, my printer moves diagonally on XY and seems to print very thick lines. It is a corexy printer.
Also it says it can't save my wifi ssid, so my ssid and password are there in plain text (I censored them).
This is my config.g:

@osterac
So will I be able to use extratime at some point in the future?

@T3P3Tony
Setting does take on 3.5b2. thank you.

@droftarts
Okay, but as I said in my original post, when I try to use the skew factor, my settings aren't saved and m556 reports all zeros.

@droftarts
I printed this and my measurements for the xy test were
ad 100 (exactly)
ac 142
bd 139.42
I'll look at that thread.
Thanks

So I've been trying out M556 by following the instructions here.
I used the gcode macro to calculate the skew and the provided stls. When I punch the values into the macro, however, I get this:

M98 P"0:/macros/Calibration and Tuning/Calculate Skew"
Skew factor: 0.0183381
Skew distance @ 100 mm: nan mm

"nan mm." If I change the AD value from 100 to 97, it looks like this:

M98 P"0:/macros/Calibration and Tuning/Calculate Skew"
Skew factor: 0.0183597
Skew distance @ 97 mm: 31.35235 mm

But 97 is not what I measured. I also tried 75, that worked, then I scaled the test model down to 75%, printed and measured it. I punched in those values and got "nan mm" again. If I just use the skew factor like this in config.g:

M556 S1 X0.0183381    ;Axis skew compensation

then run M556, I get this:

m556
Axis compensations - XY: 0.00000, YZ: 0.00000, ZX: 0.00000

So the setting didn't take.

If I use the skew distance value from the calculation where I said AD was 97, like this,

M556 S100 X31.35235      ;Axis skew compensation

I get this from M556:

m556
Axis compensations - XY: 0.31352, YZ: 0.00000, ZX: 0.00000

So that does take, but I can't use that method unless I can get the macro to work properly.

Has anyone got this figured out?
Thanks

PS I'm running DWC/RRF 3.4.5 on a duet 2 wifi.

@stuartofmt
As for the multiple stop commands, it may be because I printed several things after duetlapse got stuck so commands were sent to duetlapse from that. In my end gcode I use this command:

M98 P"DuetLapse3Stop.g" ;stop timelapse

Which calls a .g file that contains this command:

M117 DuetLapse3.completed ;Stop DuetLapse3
G4 S10 ;Wait 10 seconds

I have several of those files, one for start, pause, continue, and stop. I have references to them in my start and stop gcode, and in my pause.g, resume.g, and cancel.g.
I tried doing a run without extratime and I was able to get a video. here's the log file.

2081_1_YACS_vertical.log.txt

It may look a little odd because I started recording and then started a print and duetlapse caught on to that. I ended the recording before the print was done.

@stuartofmt
I did a graceful terminate and waited a couple of hours but it is still updating the log file. Web UI says this:

@stuartofmt
I did a print with those settings. It managed to capture the jpg files, but it's 30 minutes after the print and it is still writing to the log file and hasn't deleted the images or made a video yet. Log file attached.
598_1_printer_square_calibration.log.txt

@stuartofmt
ran a print with the new script. log:
604_1_xyzCalibration_cube.log.txt

@stuartofmt
I executed the command that you listed

wget --auth-no-challenge -nv -O ./test.jpeg "http://cam.local:8765/picture/1/current/"

and an image file was created. I downloaded it and it was what I expected. I updated my router firmware and changed some settings, I also added a -port modifier to duetlapse, but I still get the wget --auth-no-challenge error and no images are captured. Here's another log file if it helps.
604_3_Fidgit3_resize.log.txt

PS I also did an apt full-upgrade on my duetlapse pi and my camera server and updated to the latest dev version of motioneye.
