I just set up my duet 3 with a raspberry pi.
I am upgrading a cnc machine from duet 2 wifi to duet 3 and am wondering if I can use the workbee control on the pi so that I can see the machine/work coordinates. Or maybe just show the machine coordinates as well as work coordinates in the duet 3 web control.
Thanks,

@Phaedrux Just tried with RC2, no luck and jerks happen in the same places on same file.
So a few days ago I implemented a dc42 ir sensor on a gantry machine designed to make paintings with duet 3. The idea was that the machine could probe a stationary reservoir of paint with the ir sensor, detect how much paint was remaining in the reservoir, and adjust brush dipping height. This worked extremely well until I started using black paint, which was not detected, and since the sensor triggers 2-3mm above the surface height, the machine dunked the ir sensor in black paint...
Wondering if anyone has a recommendation of a sensor or method of doing this reliably.
The reservoir is only 60mm in height. It would be nice to have +- 1mm accuracy.
One answer would be to use a longer range sensor like this adafruit time of flight :
https://www.adafruit.com/product/3316
This would allow me to limit the probing distance and never have the probe come near the paint,
but would require a little microcontroller to turn i2c into a probe signal (plugged into duet3 toolboard).
The issue with having a float based trigger (like in a toilet) is that paint builds up on it and changes the accuracy.
Anyone have other ideas? It would be great if the sensor I used had a digital output based on a 60mm trigger height. If we can read sensors on toolboards now is there an analog device that would work? Does anything like this exist that would detect acrylic paint and water?
Cheers,

@MintyTrebor With the 3.3rc1 update globals are now displaying correctly in btncmd!
Would it be possible to have a color option for the Object Model panel?
Or a color switch based upon value like the z-probe status in DWC?
Also, what about a secondary organization structure in which buttons and panels could be grouped? Kind of like this on the DWC dashboard:
Just some suggestions, I'm really loving this plugin so far.
Much simpler than my previous node-red dashboard setup.
Thanks,
T
This post is a continuation of what I believe to be this issue:
https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/19352/duet-3-3-2-beta2-sbc-jerking-motion
Issue:
I have a 5-axis machine with linear axes X,Y,Z and rotational axes A,B running rrf3.2 stable.
When sending a series of small segment, commands to the machine, a loud audible clunk happens intermittently.
The types of movements that create the clunks are simultaneous X,Y + A(rotational) moves.
Here is video:
https://youtu.be/egwhWUq8yAg
As you can see, it does not seem as if the machine loses steps, just starts/stops so quickly as to create a jolt.
Changing the M595 movement queue length (I have tried several values from 5 to 1000) only worsens this behavior to the point where steps are lost and even more clunks happen.

Here also a file which produces many clunks (which is running in video):
wrenches_fake.gcode
It is hard to see which lines of the code cause the issue as I believe it is a problem with sending small segments.
I have had this issue since upgrading to the first of the 3.2 betas, but it does not occur 3.1.1.
Any thoughts?

@dc42 I can confirm that sending M595 P100 on the 3.3 beta firmware has resolved this issue.
Thanks
@gloomyandy yes sending G0 E100:200 works perfectly, extruding the specified amount on each extruder.
Is it possible to write the whole OM to a file on the sd card? Using duet3 + SBC 3.3rc1.
I was thinking maybe with execonmcode, but wondering if there is a native method.
My use case is a tool-changing machine with a docking switch, if docking fails I would like to save as much information on the machine state as possible before aborting/pausing the file.
Thanks,
T
@dc42 I would also like to join the beta crew, and would purchase several once everything is refined.
Thanks
@dc42 Hey David,
What kind of current rating are you thinking for these boards?

@gloomyandy yes sending G0 E100:200 works perfectly, extruding the specified amount on each extruder.
@dc42 Sorry, should have mentioned in the original post, 3.3rc1 with DSF 3.3rc1.
Just discovered this bug today while trying to extrude values based on several variables.
My setup is MB6HC + SBC running RRF, DSF and DWC versions 3.3rc1 for all.
global extruder1val = 10
global extruder2val = 15
;for a tool with two extruders
G0 E{global.extruder1val}:{global.extruder2val}
The G0 (also tried G1) command only works for the first extruder, the command gives no errors and on the dashboard only the value for extruder 1 increases.
Same applies to to the following:
G0 E5:{global.extruder2val} ;only 1st extruder moves
G0 E0:{global.extruder2val} ;only 1st extruder moves
G10 P0 X10 ;the current tool with two extruders
echo tools[0].offsets[0] ;returns 10
G0 E5:{tools[0].offsets[0]} ;only 1st extruder moves
I wonder if this is a bug in the way commands with colons are parsed if they contain expressions?
For the time being can anyone think of a workaround that would allow simultaneous extrusion based on variable, parameter or any expression?
Update: For now I can use extra axes but would still like this functionality in the future.
I see in this thread a similar issue, but @dc42 mentions it will be solved in 3.3?
https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/20788/m572-s-d-parameter-doesn-t-process-expressions/5
At this point just wondering what the status of this fix is
Thanks,
T
@owend tried cutting and pasting your code, still got the same error. Maybe its not avaliable on SBC yet?
T
Hey all, I can't get the "exists" function working to check for a macro parameter. Since it was in the list of functions in the meta commands page I expect that it is used like so:
if exists(param.C) = true
echo param.C
else
M118 P0 S"No C parameter"
But the above script gives me this error:
Error: Failed to read code from macro grab_slotx.g: Failed to evaluate "exists(param.C) = true": expected an identifier
Am I doing this right? All the documentation I could find was that the "exists" function is now implemented.
Thanks,
T
