3.5.0-beta.3

Proschi3D

I switched to the latest beta firmware.
Since then, this message has appeared before every print start

Error: in file macro: G1: G1/G2/G3: intermediate position outside machine limits

Phaedrux

Any idea where that error line would be?

Proschi3D

@Phaedrux No, unfortunately not. When I go back to the beta 2+ the error doesn't come up

Phaedrux

If it's when you start a print there must be a G1 command somewhere. You could tag them with M117 message commands and see which one is causing the error.

Also I'm not familiar with your printer or setup, so you could share your files and some details.

@Phaedrux I found the G1 command, the error is now gone. The strange thing, however, is that the error did not occur on the beta 2+.
Thanks

I've had similar things happen too, where a piece of bad code (I've myself put in there because I'm a dumbass) suddenly starts throwing errors in a new RRF build and i can't for the life of me remember where on earth it might even be.

So i end up throwing echo's i at the start of each macro trying to find out where the fudge it's located. And when i finally find it. it's totally logical that it's throwing faults, and it probably should have earlier too lol.

This time, when I went from b2 too b3 i suddenly started getting a error from my Toggle Chamber Lighting macro, because i was using else wrong (again because I'm CLEARLY a dumbass).
What it was:

;Check if the LEDs are on or off, and act accordingly
if state.gpOut[0].pwm = 0
  M42 P0 S1                                                                    ; Swith GPIO port 0 on
else state.gpOut[0].pwm = 1
  M42 P0 S0                                                                    ; Swith GPIO port 0 off

How it should have been all the time:

;Check if the LEDs are on or off, and act accordingly
if state.gpOut[0].pwm = 0
  M42 P0 S1                                                                    ; Swith GPIO port 0 on
elif state.gpOut[0].pwm = 1
  M42 P0 S0                                                                    ; Swith GPIO port 0 off

But all RRF 3 version up until now have been fine with it and ignored it, I'm glad it finally made me aware of the problem though 🤣

@Proschi78 said in 3.5.0-beta.3:

Error: in file macro: G1: G1/G2/G3: intermediate position outside machine limits

The error usually occurs when segmentation is enabled (either because the kinematics uses segmentation or because you have explicitly enabled segmentation using M669) and the print head is in a location outside the printable area defined by M208 after taking account of tool offsets. For the print head to be outside the printable area, one of the following has usually happened:

You have executed G1 H1 or G1 H2 moves (these moves ignore the axis limits)
You have use G92 to specify the position of the print head
You have executed a M208 command so that a position that was previously allowed is no longer allowed
You have changed the tool offset using G10

However, it may be that there is a new bug in 3.5beta3. In order to track this down, we would need your config.g file and the sequence of commands that causes it.

@dc42 It was a G1 command in the intro line. The right extruder came too close to the left one. I shortened the movement by 5mm and the message disappeared. Thank you for your explanation
