New firmware 1.20 Release Candidate 2 - please try it!

If you read the Wiki M568 isn't a new command - it's been deprecated and is no longer necessary.
M913 isn't new in this release either - it's been around for ages. However I do agree that it seems pretty pointless when we can use M906 to set/change motor current at any time.
M667 looks like it's being deprecated too as M669 serves the same purpose. I guess M667 could be taken out but that would mean that everyone using a Duet on a CoreXY would have to change their config.g to use M667 instead. However, M550 serves a completely different purpose and I personally wouldn't want to have the machine name in the same line that defines the kinematics.

@chrishamm:

Thanks again, it should be fixed in my new RC3 which is available here: https://github.com/chrishamm/DuetWebControl/blob/dev/DuetWebControl-1.20-RC3.zip

Please let me know if you find anything else.

Hi Chris,

I can confirm that the Extrusion Factor sliders now all works as expected using DWC 1.20RC3. Also, I've just been through and extruded 20mm of filament for each tool 0 to 4 and it was so nice to be able to use drives 0 to 4 instead of having to remember that the label "Drive1" was associated with extruder 0.

@crishamm
Ref my earlier post about extruder drive position in the Machine Status panel, I can now confirm that the behaviour is not limited to printing but appears to affect any extruder move. To elaborate, I ran home all which zeros the extruder positions. Then set active temperature for all tools to 180 and extruded 20mm of filament from each drive in turn. After using drive 0, the Extruder drive panel showed D0 at 0.0, D1 at 0.0, D2 at 20.0, D3 at 0.0 and D4 at 0..0. Using drive 1 shows 20.0 for Drive 3, and using drive 2 shows 20.0 for drive 4. Using drives 3 and 4 has no effect on the values shown in the machine status panel.

To be clear, the extruder drives are all working as expected but the drive position as reported in the Machine Status Panel is incorrect. The effect is that plus 2 is being added to the drive number so the value for Drive 0 is being applied to Drive2 in the panel, the value for Drive 1 is being applied to Drive 3 etc.

Cheers

Pause print and resume failed for me from the PanelDue. The hot end resumed extruding a couple layers above the print. Running 1.20RC2 and latest DWC release candidate,

When I try to connect to DWC I get this error:
Could not establish a connection to the Duet firmware! Please check your settings and try again.

I'm able to ping the DuetWiFi, wifi signal is -59, it's on a static Ip and I confirmed that the mac address is correct . Am I missing something obvious?

Firmware: 1.20-RC2
DuetWiFiServer: 1.20beta10
DWC: 1.20-RC3

Admittedly I do not stress the Duet much, but FWIW, RC2 is working well for me.

1. Did you install DuetWiFiServer.bin twice as suggested in the upgrade notes?

2. If you send M552 S1 from USB or PanelDue then it will report success/failure of the attempt to connect to your router.

Thanks for the feedback! Which Duet do you have?

Thanks for the feedback. I'll test pause/resume again.

The Dark Theme on the new Webcontol is a little bit wrong.

Try updating DWC to 1.20RC3.

There is no DWC 1.20RC3 here: https://github.com/dc42/RepRapFirmware/tree/dev/Release/Duet-WiFi/Edge

I've just released 1.20RC3. This has only minor changes from 1.20RC2.

The following have been reported in this thread:

1. "Starting with Beta11, with the M584 changes, with the U axis hidden if I run G29 the printer starts probing, but after the first row the U drive, which is my second Z motor starts moving up rather than down."

I thought I had asked for more detail about this issue, but it looks like I didn't. Has anyone else seens a similar issue? Hiding the U axis should make no difference to the behaviour of the Z axis, but it will prevent explicit U moves being made.

2. Various WiFi disconnection issues. Please note the instructions to install DuetWiFiServer-1.20b10 twice. You can use older DuetWiFiServer versions with RRF 1.20RC3 if necessary, but if you do then the M587 command to list configured wifi networks may not work. I expect to have DuetWiFiServer 1.20beta11 available early next week.

3. A report that pause/resume caused the print to resume too high. I have tested this on 2 printers and I can't reproduce it.

4. Various DWC issues, which I believed are resolved in DWC 1.20-RC3.

Some have been resolved but the extruder position issue that I reported above is still outstanding.

Is there anything unusual about that directory, for example its name?
