synchronize prompts between DWC and PanelDue

Phaedrux

Ran into some issues with my Argon Pi4 case and the GPIO passthrough to the Duet 3. Will have to try again tomorrow as it's late now and I still have to dig my PanelDue cabling out of the conduit to reach.

@Phaedrux Thanks. We are still somewhat new to Duet and getting defects properly captured has been a bit of a challenge. One thing that I should have mentioned is that we have multiple Duet3 / RPi setups. We are testing the issues on multiple machines prior to posting..

I took some time this morning to take a new Duet3 and PanelDue out of the box, configured it to run in stand alone mode, and then updated both to the latest firmware (3.1.1 and 1.24).

When running the sample macro from the PanelDue in standalone mode, the prompt is displayed like it should. This confirms the issue is unique to a Duet3 / RPi setup as I've tested this on multiple setups.

Another issue I just confirmed, unless I just don't know what I'm doing, is that Macros are not showing up on the Control tab in both standalone and SBC mode..

Thanks

When ran from DWC, it does prompt on the PanelDue as expected. But when ran from the PanelDue, it only prompts in DWC - nothing is displayed on the PanelDue. I believe this should be easy to reproduce.

I can confirm that this is the case. When run from DWC is appears on both, when run from paneldue it only appears on DWC.

Thank you for confirming. This functionality is very important to us..

I could reproduce and fix this problem. The required fix is included in RRF/DSF 3.2.0-b1, which are now available from the unstable package feed.

@chrishamm Thanks! I'll test this today..

@chrishamm I can confirm this is now working as it should. Thank you!

I would like to point out that Macros are still not showing up on the PanelDue when connected to the Duet 3 / RPi from the control tab..

Is your PanelDue running firmware 1.24? Look on the Setup page of PanelDue to check.

@dc42 yes, they have all been recently upgraded to running 1.24. But maybe it's that we really just don't know what we are doing though as we just tested on a Duet 2 with the same results..

I've spent some time googling, but nothing seems to point me in the right direction on how to get macros on the Control tab other than adding #_ in front of the file names? I'm sorry if this is rudimentary.. I just can't find where it is documented.

@dc42 - We just got this figured out and am still surprised. It was our M563 command in the config - I had the following: M563 P1 ...

Changing this to: M563 P0 ... fixed the issue!

Apparently displaying the macros on the control tab is extremely sensitive to Tool 0 being defined.. luckily, I was able to find another thread that lead me down the path to try this.

For sanity sake, how wrong was it for us to start at Tool1 instead of Tool0? Thanks

Yes, that's correct. This limitation is removed in the new PanelDue 3.2 beta firmware.
