RepRapFirmware 2.0beta1 available

So far I haven't run into any type of bugs. The longest print I ran was 2 hrs. I had one reset but it could have been power related, I have my battery backup unhooked right now.

The file upload speed appears to be slightly faster but it could just be the files I was uploading. I was seeing 700+ on the upload speeds.

Otherwise it seems to behave the same as 1.21.

Thanks. If you get another reset, please run M122 to check the cause.

I also moved to latest 2.0 beta. So far I did only some air cutting with a G2/G3 test scenario. After a thorough testing, the offending G-Code could be executed at 2100mm/min with 1.21 firmware, and also with 2.0 beta. At 2140mm/min both firmware versions had similar issues (WorkBee sounded like breaking apart and missed steps). Tomorrow I will have more machining to do and I will be using 2.0 beta if nothing looks horribly wrong.

The G0 (maximum feedrate) and G2/G3 (only one of X/Y and one of I/J) improvements reduced the GCode files by at least 10%. Overall that is a really good thing!

@dc42 , I still have the file upload problem.
When upload is finished, DWC shows error and resets, the file itself has been uploaded correctly.

you can watch the problem in action here.

In the video you will see that I downgrade to 1.21 and then redo the same test without any problem

Thanks. Since I implemented the fix I have had the problem recur, but only with files in a narrower range of sizes. I will investigate it further next week. Meanwhile, a workaround is to reduce the number of files in /gcodes, for example by moving some of them into subdirectories.

Thanks for the detailed testing and feedback - this is realty appreciated!

I've had really good success. I've printed several dozen parts and some were 6 hour prints. No noticeable differences and no hangs or other issues. I do everything from DWC although I have a PanelDue installed. I was doing some research/testing for a future blog post and must have done 10 mesh grid compensation runs and many more calibration runs on my delta.

Nice to see how fast the devolpment of the 2.0 Firmware is going forward.
But @dc42 i thought you don't wanna implement new Features for now?

Added experimental Z probe type 10 (Z motor stall)

I'am exited to see if it works.

timcurtis67

Possible Bug? I trying to print with my U axis (IDEX) and the pressure advance was not working correctly (D1). The pressure advance seems fine for (D0).

The head slowed down on X Y moves and the extruder was pulling the material way back too far. I ended up reverting back to 1.21 and the same print now works fine.

Also after updating to 2.0 beta the files won't upload without an error. The complete file is uploading (checked the file after upload) but it says the is an error and disconnects.

One last thing was when I paused the print the Duetwifi board reset. (see M122 results).

I should mention that when I was using 2.0 Alpha I had zero issues with file uploads. Beta doesn't upload correctly for me?

Shen

I'm having a problem with stall detection as Z probe. Every time when I run two G30 commands in a row, the probe always fail to trigger on the second G30. However, I can run my homez.g script that uses stall detection as endstop as many times as I want, and it would always trigger.

dc42

Can you confirm that it is failing to trigger at all, rather than triggering too early?

dc42

@mhackney, thanks for your feedback.

dc42

@timcurtis67, thanks for your report. The loss of connection after uploading a file when there are many files on the SD card is a known issue, but the other two issues puzzle me. If you load 2.0beta1 again, please try sending M572 without parameters and check that the pressure advance values reported are as you set them in config.g. The reset is puzzling because the software reset data suggests a deliberate reset as if M999 had been sent or the Emergency Stop button pressed.

Shen

@dc42
Here is the video showing 4 G30 executions. The first one is successful, the second one fails. After the second one I ran M84 Z to release Z motors so I can balance the bed. The third G30 runs fine, the fourth one fails again. It's always the second G30 that fails.

Shen

Also I forgot to mention. This only happens when I set M558 A3 to probe three times, and it ALWAYS fail to trigger on the second G30. When I only probe once(M558 A1), it's successful every time.

Shen

Ok, I found that if I lower the bed after the first G30 then the second G30 would work. Maybe the second G30 did not reach high enough speed? but then why would the second probe in the first G30 succeed? Strange...

Thanks dc42,
I will reload 2.0 beta again tomorrow and send the M572 and report back. I am running the exact same program on 1.21 without any issues. Its been running for about 4 hours now.

My setting that I use 90% of the time (in that case as well with the error) is M572 D1 H.3 for the U extruder and M572 D0 H.3 for the X extruder.

Hi,
I have just tried 20beta1 and probably had a problem with retraction / absolute extrusion.

The skirt was printed fine, but then a retraction happened for travelling to the wall of the first object.
But it looked like no un-retraction happened after the travell. It printed a lot of air until something was visible again.
The same happened when it travelled to the starting point of the second object.

So I went back to 1.21 and tried to print the same file again. Worked fine...

That's odd, because i haven changed the motion code at all. The changes in 2.0beta1 that are most likely to have broken something are:

Replaced the library version of strtod by our own. So parsing some formats/values of floating point numbers may have been broken.
Replaced the library versions of printf etc. by our own. So the display of values to DWC and PanelDue or the saving of values to config-override.g might have been broken.
Changed the behaviour when G30 is used after using G29 to generate a height map or load an existing height map.
Changed the behaviour of G0.
Reduced the size of each output buffer (to the size that was already used on the older Duets), but increased the number of them. It is this change that indirectly cause network disconnects after uploading GCode files in some cases.
