Hello, thank you for sharing this. I have a question — I own a ToolChanger controlled by a Duet 3 MB6HC board, and there are 4 tools installed. Tool “T4” is a Smart Orbiter V3.0, which is connected to a ToolBoard 1LC V1.3. I was wondering whether it is possible to use the functionalities of the Smart Orbiter V3.0 by connecting them directly to the ToolBoard 1LC V1.3. Thank you in advance for your reply, it would be a great help.

That's why we are here!

If we cannot help, we can mess things up in style. 🤠

@Simonjb yes, the reason for this bug appeared after 3.5.4 was released. It’s been fixed, but there hasn’t been a release since. See the last couple of updates here https://github.com/Duet3D/DuetWebControl/activity

@phoenix Interference can certainly be an issue. Microwave ovens, cordless phones, baby monitors, or noisy electric motors (eg old fridge), so have a look a look around the immediate area to see if there's anything that could be causing it.

It's also worth looking at the LED on (or next to, depending on Duet 2 version) the WiFi module when it disconnects, to see if it is actually disconnecting; the LED should be on constantly when connected, but will flash when it loses connection and tries to reconnect. If it is staying on constantly while you have the error, then it may be a firmware issue.

To test the Duet's WiFi itself, change it to AP (Access Point) mode. You can connect directly via WiFi, and see if you get dropouts then. See https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/Machine_configuration/Networking#configuring-duet-in-wifi-access-point-mode

Lastly, have a look at the router. Do any other devices drop out? Some routers try and move the Duet WiFi to 5GHz, rather than 2.4GHZ, but then fall back to 2.4GHz, which might cause a disconnection/reconnection. There may be an option in the router to fix the Duet to 2.4GHz.

@droftarts I didn't even think the accelerometer showed up in M122?

Here's the latest, but I can't spot an Accelerometer mention?

When I opened up to take a picture of the wiring, I noticed a piece of unconnected wire that had fallen off and was resting on the Duex. I guess I'm lucky not to have shortened anything, but the issue is definitely resolved 🙂

Thanks @gloomyandy for your indirect help 🙂

@phoenix There is no infinite rotation in RRF.
But there are workarounds. You can define your spindle as a very long axis. It will take days to reach the end. In a way, this can be considered infinite
Another workaround for G-codes unknown to RRF is to write your own macro.
In your specific case it would be named G76.1
Now you have to postprocess the gcode file you want to run by search&replace G76 with G76.1
When you run the file, RRF will automatically start the macro when the line comes up.
If G76 has some parameters you can postprocess them too, but it gets complicated. Maybe it's easier to write several macros for each thread-pitch you want to cut.

@T3P3Tony I should have mentioned: I get the same behavior using a 10cm lead. pretty sure it's not the wire length.

Thank you!
