Firmware 2.0RC2 released

[wilriker]

DHT sensor support?! That sounds cool, especially as I have at least one of them laying around. How would they get connected? And is there any use-case already? I could imagine measuring humidity in a filament dry-box. Any other ideas?

[resam]

@wilriker DHT support is available since a few releases ago!
You can use M305 to configure two new channels for temp and humidity:

Channels 400, 401... are DHTxx temperature and humidity channels. The DATA line of the DHTxx must be connected to CS6 (was E3 Endstop on the expansion header) on the Duet WiFi/Ethernet. Specify the sensor type (11 for DHT11, 21 for DHT21 or 22 for DHT22) via the T-parameter

I tried installing this but now things don't work.

The software information shows:

Firmware Name: RepRapFirmware for Duet 2 WiFi/Ethernet
Firmware Electronics: Duet WiFi 1/02 or later + Duex5
Firmware Version: 2.0(RTOS)RC2 (2018-05-10b1)
WiFi Server Version: 1.21
Web Interface Version: 1.21.1-RC4

I can activate the bed and the extruder heater but I can't move in any axis.

Anyone have any ideas what I may have done wrong?

Were you already running firmware 1.21 ? If not then read the upgrade notes for version 1.21 and any other stable versions that you skipped.

[whosrdaddy]

@mperdue: in newer firmwares, you can only moves axes when they are homed.
If you want to revert to the original behavior, add M564 H0 to your config.g, or else you will need to add S2 to your G1 commands to allow movement on a non homed axis...

[mperdue]

I had skimmed the release notes prior to updating but, obviously, I need to read them more closely. The movement comments certainly address the immediate issues I was having but I think I’ll read everything before I do it again. Thanks guys.

Same for me. At some point the Web Interface lost connection and the print stopped. I was able to access the board via Telnet and generate an M122, but several atpempts needed before gettign the log because the Telnet would close connection before dumping all information.

OK, I've reloaded and gotten things moving again so I'm working on my homely.g file now. In the previous releases I've run I would start the home sequence by moving both the X and Y towards the origin simultaneously, then I would fine home each of them separately. I don't seem to be able to move them both at the same time anymore but I can live with that. A bigger issue is that I would also fast home the Z and then fine home it. I'd do this my moving the X and X to the center of the bed and then moving the Z at a reasonable speed toward the bed. Then I'd back off and do the actual probe.

The code I used

M401 ; Deploy probe
G1 Z-999 F1000 S1 ; Course home Z Only
G1 Z5 F1000 ; Back off home location
M401 ; Deploy the probe
G30 Z-300 S0 ; Probe Z

The G1 using the S1 no longer seems to work as it did so this script no longer works. The G30 works well but it is very slow so if the machine was shut down with the bed at Z 250 it will take a very long time to probe the Z. Is there something I'm doing wrong here?

On the plus side I no longer have to tell it to deploy the probe since the BLTouch now has a unique definition and is handled properly.

[dc42]

You should still be able to home X and Y concurrently initially, nothing has been changed in that respect.

Your method of Z homing is unusual. Normally you would use either a G1 S1 Z move and a homing switch, or a G30 Z probe, not both. But either of the following methods should still work if you want to do fast then slow Z homing:

1. Tell the firmware that the Z endstop (for the G1 S1 Z command) is the Z probe, by using M574 Z1 S2 in config.g.

2. Use G30 to do the fast Z homing instead of a G1 S1 Z move, but use an extra M558 command to temporarily increase the probing speed (F parameter in M558).

What is that? need a not-maestro explanation

[okercho]

Hi, I just installed the RC2 and from the interface I'm not able to shutdown the heater, it turned on automatically (at 0ºC for active and standby temp) and if I try to "control all, turn everything off" or to switch from active to standby (from the interface) it does nothing, but I can switch from active from standby in the paneldue though.

In the console I see this "G10 P0 R-273.15 S-273.15", but nothing changes.

I think nothing changed at heater config level between 1.21 and this RC, right? (at least, I didn't see it...)

Firmware Name: RepRapFirmware for Duet 2 WiFi/Ethernet

Anyone else sees the same?

@dc42

I've changed my Z homing code to work as in your second option and it works well. However, I've decided to disable the functionality for now using M564 H0. I'll revisit this after I get a few print jobs completed and I can give it my full attention.

@cata This is a 12864 display.

[Cata]

@johnocfii Yes, i know. But, can we have that on the duets?

I looked into this a bit a year or so ago. My understanding is that it would require another board to supply the smarts that are in the PanelDue displays in between the Duet and the 12864. With that level of hassle and expense, it would be easier to just get the PanelDue if you wanted a display. At least -- that is what I remember. I decided not to pursue a display.

[Cata]

@johnocfii You are wrong, i see the full graphics display with a 2 usd wemos working in the duet. Total cost = 10 usd. I want to know how is working in the maestro.

[dc42]

On the Duet Maestro we included 2 more 10-pin ribbon cable sockets and and extra chip to gate and convert the SPI bus to 5V, so that we can support 12864 displays. We did that on the basis that someone buying a budget board would be more likely to want to use a budget display.

To do the same on the other Duets you would need an adapter that plugs into the daughter board connector and the CONN_SD connector, to provide the gating and level shifting.

Another type of budget display that works with all Duets is an old smartphone running DWC.

[wilriker]

I upgraded to 2.0RC2 and currently my second print is running perfectly fine so far.

Only thing I realized was that after upgrading I did not reset the Duet (would that have been recommended anyway?) and when running a G29 (no Z probe, so manually adjusting via DWC buttons) movement commands where heavily delayed. So when clicking on a button to move Z up/down sometimes this was instantaneously and sometimes it would take up to several seconds for the printer to react. I have not reset the Duet afterwards and I have not yet tried this again (I will likely do it tonight or tomorrow as I have to move the printer again).

If you tell me that this is something that can be expected when upgrading firmware and not doing a reset then you can ignore this one.

@dc42 where stands dwc for. A Google search on dwc telephone dont give any good results
