[DSF Extension] Exec On MCode (was: Shutdown SBC)
-
-
@chas2706 Thank you for implicitly pointing out a hole in the installation instructions. I amended that to GitHub already and will fix it above in an instant.
-
No problem, again thanks for your help and for producing a fantastic plugin.
-
Important Note
The current version of Exec On MCode is NOT compatible with DSF 1.3.0+. It will connect but fail at a random point in time which might lead to breaking side-effects. I will release a new version tomorrow or Monday. Until then, don't use this tool with DSF 1.3.0+.

Important Note
I plan to temporarily remove this feature can you confirm that all I need to do this is to delete the extension?
I did not enable it to run at start up.
Many thanks for pointing this out. -
@chas2706 If you don't start it (automatically or manually) there is no need to do anything. It can sit in the filesystem that won't have any effect until you execute it.

Release 4.0
This version works with DuetSoftwareFramework 1.3.0 and later.
Unfortunately due to breaking changes in the API of DSF this is NOT backwards-compatible with older versions of DuetSoftwareFramework.
This release also has a new parameter
-trace
that will enable output of the underlying requests/responses to/from DuetControlServer.It can be downloaded as usual from GitHub Releases page.
-
Release v5.0
This release updates
godsfapi
tov2
and thus is only compatible with Duet Software Framework 2.1.0 and later.New Features
- A new command-line paramter
-version
to output the version and exit
Bug fixes
- After a handled code is intercepted and before the assigned command is executed
Flush
will be called to make sure we are in sync with the machine
It can be downloaded as usual from GitHub Releases page
- A new command-line paramter
-
So many possibilities, so little time. I'd like to take a week off from my day job to do all the things that things like this can enable.
-
Release 5.1
This release makes
execonmcode
compatible with Duet Software Framework 2.2.0 and later.It can be found at GitHub Releases page as usual.
-
got this error
dial unix /var/run/dsf/dcs.sock: connect: no such file or directory
any idea?
-
Sorted it out! The PI has to be connected to the Duet!
-
made a little videos how to install it. Mainly for my own reference later
-
@wilriker are the parameters capped at 3? If not, what are there limits? Thanks
-
@oozeBot It should be at least 23 (every upper-case letter except G, M and T). Possibly also every lower-case letter, but I never tried that.
The application itself has no enforced limit.
-
I posted a response a few minutes ago, but deleted it after I finally realized my mistake..
One note on this that's worth mentioning is the % in the service file has to be escaped like %%. Here is an example file:
[Unit] Description=Duet API listener Test After=duetcontrolserver.service Requires=duetcontrolserver.service [Service] ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/execonmcode -mCode 4567 -command "./test.sh %%A %%B %%C" Restart=always RestartSec=10 [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target

-
Is this compatible with the latest beta?

Yes, it is. Though it's not built according to the DSF Plugin Specs, yet.

@wilriker Good afternoon, I'm a newbie in the RFF/Duet world and I'm starting to move in all directions but I realize I need more helpt than expected....I want to install this https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/19225/timelapse-video-through-execonmcode?_=1604845400929
on my Rapsby to have the capability to take timelapses of my prints. It is based on execonmcode...I am not a Raspberry/Linux expert too so I'm in trouble to undesrtand what I have to do...I have read the README.md contained in the latest version of the execonmcode but I don't exactly what to do
- this is maybe the most stupid question you have ever heard: execonmcode has to be installed in the Raspy not in the Duet's SD, right?
- Have the Raspy being connected via USB to the Duet or is enough that both are connected to the same LAN via WiFi?
- To make the script work I have understood I have to make it work as a service and configure it like this:
[Unit]
Description=Duet API listener for Timelapse Video by oozeBot
After=duetcontrolserver.service
Requires=duetcontrolserver.service
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/execonmcode -mCode 5575 -command "./scripts/timelapse.sh %%A %%F"
Restart=always
RestartSec=10
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
but on github I can't find documentation about services and about where ti write down the previous lines of code I found just in the readme:
- Optional: use the
shutdownsbc.service
systemd unit (included in the repo) to run it at startup and let it shutdown the SBC (customize to your liking)
but here again I haven't understood why now you call it shutdown again...
I now maybe I'm asking too much but could you help me understanding?
Thanks!
Andrea
