filament monitoring in RRF only active printing from SD card?
-
I am going to try to set up the load to a switch or filament sensor. ie encoder. but I see I may have a problem with that because I use the web interface to load files not the sd card. and I found this in the g code directory (For all firmware versions, note that filament monitoring in RRF is only active when printing from SD card.) so this is kinda a drag if it is a true statement for today's firmware.

@run-it if you are using the web interface to upload files then they are being stored on the SD card on the duet (in stand alone mode) or on the sd card on the SBC in SBC mode so that's fine.
Its only when streaming gcode line by line over (e.g. USB) that filament monitoring is not enabled because in that situation RepRapFirmware is not running the job, some external gcode sender is.

@T3P3Tony Awesome thanks look like I will be up and running soon thanks to all of you.
Now to set up the load and unload for 5 tools.
my thought is to first load filament for each tool the job calls for.
it would look like this. hit load macro and it loads for the tool selected up to the filament sensor and then unloads back to a safe point before the filament manifold. and for print. load to the sensor then slow down to continue loading direct drive and continue to the prime nozzle then wipe and return to print.
Then for the next tool, it unloads the previous tool to a safe point and then reloads the next tool like the above. Hope you don't mind me including this too. It's going to take a min for this one. Have you seen a load filament to a sensor set up like your magnetic filament sensor? Ps. did you see this question coming
Thank you again you all are great -
