Well... very interesting. It suddenly started working.

I am not 100% sure, but the thing that changed seems to be moving to Beta12 firmware.

@T3P3Tony Thanks! That's much easier.

@dc42 Ok, I will do that, thank you for all of the help.

@Veti

I understand, thanks for the explanation ... I will also include T0 in Config.

Thank you

@TLAS said in Duet Slicer Integration?:

@grizewald

I don't suppose you use any modern cloud environment, like GitHub, Fusion 360 or OneDrive? It's not about computing power, it's about mobility, universal compatibility, and creating a community ecosystem with ease of access to everyone.

Major advantages of using a cloud technology (or really just web ignoring the buzz word), could involve the following:

Saving slicing configurations that follow you, regardless of the device. Pre/parallel slicing using your standard configurations (view the g-code outputs immediately from your common settings to pick a starting point for refinement). Direct access (without installation) to any of the top slicing engines, on any device. Repositories of slicing configurations for specific printers, including manufacturer recommendations. Imagine "the nominal Bowden retraction is 2.7mm with a standard deviation of 0.7mm" for ultimakers, etc... Direct access (without installation) to custom slicing engines optimized for specific printers and/or setups. Code and slicing setups for multi-color materials or multi-tool setups that can be easily shared. Machine learning technologies that flag common failure settings for your geometry. "Changing to a 0.25mm first layer will increase the probability of a successful print for your printer by 20%"... etc...

Edit: I do agree with you about the personal network. I'd love to see whatever 'cloud' system is developed to have universal compatibility with a local network and distribute tasks / settings to all computers on that network with a lot of the benefits of a cloud but not actually leaving your own network.

I confess I was being rather cynical in my comments, probably because I've seen so much buzzword marketing and empty promises made in the computing industry over the decades. Remember "the paperless office"? 🤣

I do use web based services in my job and I personally collaborate with others on open source projects via GitHub etc, but when it comes to my personal data and computing resources, they stay firmly locked behind my firewall and under my control. I was always wary of operations like f***book and other "it's free because you are the product" services and time has proved my caution to be well founded.

I would not personally use OneDrive for anything other than storing obfuscated and encrypted data where I am the only person in control of the encryption/decryption software and associated keys.

My employer uses all the latest fads like Jira, Office365, Dynamics, etc, etc. My personal view is that they are probably in breach of the GDPR (despite them harping on about how much good work they are doing with GDPR compliance) and certainly running the risk of exposing confidential business intelligence to third parties with sufficient resources and interest. It will come back to bite them in the end and every time Microsoft or Amazon's cloud servers experience outages, they burn countless amounts of money in lost productivity.

So I'm far from adverse to new technology and new ways of doing things, but I tend to look very critically at the business models behind new services and what their security and privacy implications are.

The bed is not a tool. The default bed heater is heater 0 and can be changed using the M140 command, same as in previous versions of RRF.

@steevebecker said in DUET 3 + RRF3 : monitor Temperature wihtout heater or tool:

Hi,
my config: Duet 3 6HC with RRF3 + exp 3HC

is it possible to monitor on DWC a thermistor temperature without defining a Heater and a Tool ?
how ?

Thanks

Yes, you declare a sensor using M308. If you give it a name, it will be visible in the Extras tab of DWC.

Take a look at DueUI. https://github.com/gtjoseph/DueUI

Nice! Add the Pronterface jog dial from this thread, and everyone will be happy...

You are more than welcome to create a config that does that. 🙂
Here's what mine looks like (and what's in the default config)

@WillGIam said in Duet Wifi Slow Upload + Not connecting via Interface:

After testing some Duet Wifis I wanted to use them at all of my printers. Today I was doing some tuning on my AM8, when I got my first disconnect. Its not that I cant see the Interface, it was that I got a "reconnect" state in the interface. Also I got very slow upload speeds.

Please clarify: did you get these problems soon after powering up or restarting the Duet, or after some time?

If it only happens after some time, please try firmware 2.04RC4. A small number of users have reported network connectivity issues after some time caused by running out of output buffers, and I now have two reports that changes I made in 2.04RC4 have resolved this problem.

@nhof said in remember password:

You can just set the password to "" and it will log in automatically with no password to enter.

/me embarrassed that I have not tried it 😄 thanks!

If this is intermittent then it means your wifi is intermittent, it is loading the raw web page (as you say, rather old school) and then failing to load additional parts of the page such as style sheets and scripting.
In this case working on wifi signal is the first step, and the page to start at is:
https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/WiFi_disconnections_and_AJAX_timeout_errors

This could also be due to ad/spam blockers in a browser, but it would be permanent if so 😉

Ok so i think i isolated the issue to a loose contact or similar inside the wifi chip.
Reason: Recently when it didn´t work i just tapped on the wifi chip and suddenly the LED light came on signaling that it worked, and indeed it did.

Question: If i have a hot air resoldering station, can i just set it to 300°C arbitrarily, hold it on the chip and maybe repair the bad solder joint?

@Wallabear said in IDEX U Axis not reporting location in web control?:

@dc42 thanks you for the help I will give it a try. I do not have a previous version of DWC1 on my sd card at the moment when I get a chance later I will download a version of it and put it on there.

I suggest version 1.22.6.

@Miasmictruth said in Whats the best way to manually control a fan when not printing?:

M106 S127

Wow I am sorry I wasted everyone's time. Turns my print cooling fan is dead, I didn't realize that. I moved one of v6 cooling fans over to output and it works just fine.

Either way thanks for everyone's help at least I knew the commands should work when I went to check it out this time. That helped me realize the issue.

@EasyTarget said in V_in on graph ?:

I'm not sure you can have the graph display Volts without changing DWC etc.

That should already be working by adding the unit in square brackets at the end of the sensor name

M308 S5 ... A"V_IN[V]"

@chrishamm said in DWC 2 "Dark Theme" Cursor colour in editor:

Yes, absolutely. I'll change the cursor color to white in the next version.

Much appreciated! Many thanks.

Hi,

There is a "mod" you can perform to add an external antenna which could help.

I had to add a dedicated WiFi Access Point for my printers as the existing one was just too far away.

@chrishamm said in DWC 2 - Stupid #$%# popup when trying to type console cmds:

I'll come up with a solution.

would it be possible to change the enter behavior as well? Either add tab/right arrow key to populate the input field from the autocomplete list, or having to press enter twice to send past command (once to select, and once to submit)?

For posterity's sake, updating the firmware fixed it 🙂

got it set up thanks for all the help
