RepRapFirmware 3.0 is released!

The RRF config tool generates this code:
; Endstops
M574 X1 S0 P"xstop"                                    ; configure active-low endstop for low end on X via pin xstop
M574 Y2 S0 P"ystop"                                    ; configure active-low endstop for high end on Y via pin ystop
M574 Z1 S2                                             ; configure Z-probe endstop for low end on Z
Which is not correct; according to the M574 documentation the S parameter should be 1 (microswitch-type endstop), and I suppose I need to do the inversion on the pins. Which seems to work:

You are correct. We'll get configtool fixed.

Next is Z homing. My RRF3 homez.g script, taken from the configurator and adjusted coordinates:
...
The G1 H2 X115 Y115 fails, and actually moves to X115 Y0? I suppose it moves the CoreXY motors independently. Removing the H2 does not work; you cannot move axes that are not homed yet.

The H2 should be removed. Surely X and Y have been homed by that point? It doesn't make sense to try to home Z using a Z probe if you can't set the XY coordinates.

DaBit

X and Y have been homed before Z.
I tested by accidentally removing the H2 at the first Z-lift too, my bad.

This works:

; homez.g
; called to home the Z axis

G91                ; relative positioning
G1 H2 Z5 F6000     ; lift Z relative to current position
G90                ; absolute positioning
G1 X115 Y115 F6000 ; go to first probe point
G30                ; home Z by probing the bed
G91                ; relative positioning
G1 Z5 F6000        ; lift Z relative to current position
G90                ; absolute positioning

Anyway, the RRF configurator is generating (imho) wrong code for this too; it produces a H2 for both the lift-Z and X/Y positioning moves.

RRF config tool generated homez.g:

FYI for anyone else moving from early beta (before 11) I had to do the following:
Define heaters and associated temp sensors
Use M308 instead of M305
Activate the pullup resistors for endstops and z probe if needed since they are not active by default
I had remapped the bed heat and part cooling fans previously and had M950 H0 C"nil" and M950 H2 C"nil" but removed them since heaters are no longer automatically assigned.

Is the the paneldue running on the DUET3 with this release yet?
saw that IO_0 should be reserved for this.

Yes, it does. Connect it to IO_0 and it will work. If you are using Duet3 + SBC then everything related to job files and macros will not work on PanelDue because it cannot see those (maybe also contents of /sys, haven't checked that).

Hi

I am not sure if this is off topic in this thread...sorry...

The symbols (double arrows) for Baby-Steps in the Print menu on Paneldue in combination with Duet3 and RRF3.0RC2 look different from RRF2.05 and are kind of missleading to me...
Could there be an option to change them to something simpler like before?

I am having real fun using the Duet3 and RRF3.0. Damn good job!

They used to show up and down arrows, but users complained about this because on machines that move the bed in Z, the arrows pointed in the opposite direction to the resulting bed movement. So now they show the gap between the nozzle and bed increasing or decreasing.

FWIW:

As someone who has both kinds of printers, those that move bed, and those that move nozzle, I could never figure out the old icons. The new "squeeze or separate" make it much more clear for all cases.

Hornetrider

Yeah, I got it.

Didn't think about it, regarding the Z axis as moving bed...

Thin I will get used to it as soon as I have updated my second printer to RRF3.0...

Thanks for all your hard work @dc42! Love this update! Converted my HyperCube evo over and all is well (corexy)

Just wanted to chime in that 3.0 is running on several RailCore's with both Duet 2's and Duet3's now with no reported troubles. Thanks for the great work @dc42 !

dc42

@kraegar, thanks for the feedback.

Do you have an application for conditional GCode on the RailCore?

kraegar

@dc42 We definitely do! Auto-leveling until below a set threshold is the obvious first one. But I've had quite a few others as well - I have a systems admin background, so being able to script within gcode has been something I've wanted for a long time. Very much looking forward to it!

kraegar

This is the "upgrade guide" I made for our users have been using to convert their RailCore's with a Duet2 to RRF3, if it's helpful to anyone else. It's taking our base RRF2.x config, and making it RRF3 compatible for new builds. There's a text document to describe the process for upgrading.

@dc42 Must say this runs nicely, once I got over an error on my part, must learn to RTFI :-).

I did 15 hours of printing with RRF3 on the Duet. No failures due to RRF3. Random things I noticed:

I had to recalibrate the BLTouch triggerpoint to nozzle Z-offset. Difference with RRF2.05 is 0.12mm smaller.
Printing PusaSlicer generated brims at 60mm/s sounds a bit rougher than it did with 2.05. While printing the actual part I noticed no difference.
Some weirdness with 'pause print' and then not being able to cancel it in DWC. Might as well be an issue with running DWC on my (Android 7.1) phone; that usually takes a few reloads before DWC is displayed correctly anyway.

Difference with RRF2.05 is 0.12mm smaller.

I can confirm that for a Maestro.

Hello i just upgrade and after upgrade it's show that
![alt text]( image url)

what i did wrong?

Matej

dc42

I haven't tested RRF 3.0 with DWC 1.22.6. I suggest you upgrade to DWC 2.0.4.

matej1006

how i do that and what changes are with this DWC

dc42

Move the SD card to a PC and unzip DuetWebControl-2.0.4-SD.zip into the /www folder.

You can find DWC release info at https://github.com/chrishamm/DuetWebControl/releases.
