Hi, are there any updates on how to enable filament monitoring while printing via usb? Is there a new enable mode which needs to be used?
Thanks, Timo

@timoschuett you use S2 in M591 https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/Reference/Gcodes#m591-configure-filament-sensing
only supported in 3.5RC1 and newer

@timoschuett see the M591 documentation:
https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/Reference/Gcodes#m591-configure-filament-sensing

The S2 parameter.

@timoschuett please be aware it does not really work yet.

@benecito have you reported any problems with it that you're having?

[benecito]

@jay_s_uk we're in contact and diagnosing the issue yes

@timoschuett we have one user (only one AFAIK) who has an intermittent issue with a filament monitor connected to a Duet 3 Mini. Apart from that, I believe all the outstanding issues have been addressed in the 3.5.0-rc.1+ firmware builds, which are available at https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/tjznycpk7bv7sj71p0ssl/h?rlkey=096p4nvgmigyrb20jj8olg3wu&dl=0.
