M291 messages ignored by PanelDue

flobler

Actually looking at it again I have failed to include "S3" in macro 2) and 3) for the initial message. This would totally explain the issues I have been seeing for those two tests.

So the problem seems to be more with what I am doing in the macros 4), 5) and 6) between both messages.

Let me fix this and re-test.

flobler

@mfs12 ok, so macro 1), 2) and 3) I shared above do work fine now that I fixed them. Apologies for that!

The simplified test macro "test-m291-flobler.g" you shared also seems to work fine.

But if I look at my non-simplified version of it there still seems to be an issue with displaying either of the two "S1" messages that are following the initial "S3" messages.

Both times M291 P"Loading FILAMENT..." S1 T60 are ignored by the PanelDue. They do show on DWC.

@mfs12
Thanks for your hard work.

I tested your script as is and it does as we expect.

Changed mine to look like yours and it still shutsdown the Pi after hitting cancel.

G4 P500
M291 R"** SHUTDOWN **" P" Are you sure you want to SHUTDOWN the printer and Pi?" S3
G4 S3
M400
M106 P10 S0
M7722



;G4 P500
;M291 P"S3 message" S3
;G4 S3
;M400
;M291 P"ok pressed" S1

I honestly do not think it is a PanelDue issue but RRF or DWC.
I re-opened my previous issue because something this simple should just work!

Regards,
Paul

@flobler I think i understand what is happening.

PD has only one popup to display at a time. This means M291 S1 messages are directly overwritten by the following M291 S3 message. And as PD is polling quite slowly it doesn't see the other message.

You could make sleep command of 30s (i think it's G4 S30) followed by M400 after M291 S1 call and see what happens.

M291 S3 P"S3 message"
M291 S1 P"S1 message"
G4 S30
M400
M291 S3 P"S3 message 2"

@paulhew sorry, i have no idea why this is failing... but i agree with you paneldue itself doesn't fail here. At least it looks like it.

flobler

@mfs12 sorry again for my late reply, I am currently moving and it is difficult to manage work, the move and these topics at the same time.

I tried what you suggested, but all it does is delaying whatever comes after the messages by 30 seconds and still does not display the second message (M291 S1) on the PanelDue (only on DWC).

mfs12

@flobler, "S1 message" is missed. This happens due to paneldue's polling interval of 500ms. If it's reduced to 250ms the "S1 message" is more likely seen. But same issue applies to DWC if a state update of the OM is missed then the message is lost.

@dc42 can this be improved on RRF side somehow so message are always catched?

mfs12

@flobler all messages which don't require any confirmation may be overwritten by any following message.

So if you want to be sure to see a S1 or S0 message which may be followed by another message you best add a timeout after the message, i.e. "G4 S20".

flobler

@mfs12 I tried that previously in this thread and it did not solve the problem but just caused a 20 second wait with the S1 message still not displaying on the PanelDue.

I just re-tried and saw the same behavior. This is what I did:

Test

M291 P"Do you want to load FILAMENT now? Press OK to continue or CANCEL to abort!" S3 ; requires user input to start the filament loading procedure
M291 P"Loading FILAMENT..." S1 T60                                                    ; message confirming that filament is being loaded
M291 P"Do you want to load FILAMENT now? Press OK to continue or CANCEL to abort!" S3 ; requires user input to start the filament loading procedure

The initial S3 messages pops-up on the PanelDue, I press OK and the following S1 message is being ignored. Instead both PanelDue and DWC direclty jump to the next S3 message.

Test

M291 P"Do you want to load FILAMENT now? Press OK to continue or CANCEL to abort!" S3 ; requires user input to start the filament loading procedure
M291 P"Loading FILAMENT..." S1 T60                                                    ; message confirming that filament is being loaded
G4 S30
M400
M291 P"Do you want to load FILAMENT now? Press OK to continue or CANCEL to abort!" S3 ; requires user input to start the filament loading procedure

The initial S3 message pops-up on the PanelDue, I press OK and then the following S1 message is only displayed in DWC and not on PanelDue, after 30 seconds the next S3 message pops-up on both PanelDue and DWC.

Any other ideas? I am setting this back to "unresolved".

Thank you for your help

@flobler, i ran the following test

If macro is launched from dwc the s1 message is displayed on paneldue.
If macro is launched from paneldue the s1 message is not displayed on paneldue.

To conclude, the sequence number on RRF side increment and when the state seq request is executed the S1 message is not delivered from RRF. To me it looks like an issue on RRF side.

I have to talk to @dc42 about this.

mfs12

@flobler, good news. It looks like we understood the problem so there might be a solution in reach.

flobler

@mfs12 awesome, thank you very much for investigating!

flobler

@mfs12 Is this the issue we are talking about here?
https://github.com/Duet3D/PanelDueFirmware/issues/239

dc42 created this issue in Duet3D/PanelDueFirmware

closed M291 S3 message not cleared #239

@flobler said in M291 messages ignored by PanelDue:

no, this is another issue.

flobler

@mfs12 it looks like upgrading everything to 3.4.0 fixed this for me and all messages are now displayed as they should thank you very much for your help along the way!!!
