@tcpl have you seen the work by @JoergS5 on this?

@dc42 for multiaxis rotary/linear systems like this it may be worth using a naming convention that fits with the stacked linear & rotary build up, e.g. as Joerg uses in his doicumentation:
https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/Machine_configuration/Configuring_RepRapFirmware_for_a_Robot_printer
e.g.
CoreXYACbed : CoreXY ganry, AC both connected to the bed, A nearest to workpiece

@JoergS5 very sorry for your loss.

Thanks for the update on what you are planning.

@airking7

Please test the latest release to confirm its fixed?

@fcwilt said in My filament control system just ran aground.:

But I am using (was using it) just to set a number of filament related settings, such as hotend temperature.

Why not just set these using M568:

@fcwilt said in My filament control system just ran aground.:

IF it were possible to have an option setting in the DWC to have it send T0 P0 that might very well solve all my problems, IF it is the invoking of the pre/post/free code that is also responsible for controlling the heaters.

What do you mean about a setting in DWC? What button do you want tomprrss and not change to a specific tool, but to carry out some tool related action?

@dc42 part of the discussion is here:

@achrn have you considered releasing this as a plugin via plugins.duet3d.com

@patterson6 we have no plans to discontinue them at this point.

If you are making machines as an OEM then please reach out to sales@duet3D.com anyway so we can put you on our OEM mailing list.

@janusofdoors glad you have worked out what the connection issue was.

The reason we have the event is so that different machines can have different responses to loosing can connection, and also different responses depends on the specific expansion board that has lost connection. There is unlikely to be a default that everyone is happy with, and changing the default does mean that anyone upgrading has to notice that the default has changed and take action to create event files. I do think having the config tool generate an example event file that acted differently if a job was running or not and.paused during a job could be a good compromise.

@fcwilt see the documentation here:
https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/wiki/Object-Model-Documentation-Beta-&-RC#toolsstate

Should change when a tool cycles between active standby and off.

@patterson6 we still have stock and it's not discontinued but as fewer deltas are build I expect resellers are less keen to stock it. Please email sales@duet3d.com and we will help you out.

@fcwilt if you want to load and unload filament then, AFAIK, you need that tool to be active. It sounds like what you want if for the filament handling system to run the Tn command, but use P0 (e.g. T1 P0) so that the tool change macros are not run. Is that correct?

@oliof yes it not ideal. For some situations the idea of a per tool keepout zone can work.

@fcwilt I see what you are saying. I have a range of different tool sizes in my tool changer and the pickup head without a tool fitted is what I set my axis limits with (because I home without a tool picked up). With a tool picked up I cannot reach the limits without crashing.

On your machine would the tool specifically limits always be inside the machine limits?

@TNO_Marc please email sales@duet3d.com. The online shop accounts are currently for OEMs and Resellers purchasing in volume. We also may be able to assist with a reseller near you.

@SamKudarauskas you will need to detect it's held down in the trigger then have a while loop that looks for the release, if it's released within a certain time then carry out action A, if after that time, Action B

@droftarts

@konvalm please email sales@duet3d.com

@omtek one for @chrishamm

@Razani yes those are the same diodes. The change is due to different 5V power supply current maximums now we support 48V.
