Magnetic Filament sensor issue
-
M591 D0 P3 C3 S1 R30:130 L23.77 E3.0
Here is my code, as you can see I have lowered the min drastically to try and counteract it stopping but to no avail. At this point I'm just of the mind that if it takes a lot of tweaking and and it's gonna be unreliable it's just not worth the hassle for a stupid filament sensor when a cheap $1 micro switch will do everything fine and reliably.
I only bought it because I enjoy using high end products and getting the information from it etc....I use nothing but Duet boards on all my printers they are great but this is getting ridiculous

@57buick, please upgrade to version 2.05 firmware. I added some extra diagnostic information for magnetic filament monitors at version 2.04.
-
ok once my 2 day print finishes Ill update the firmware again
-
where is the firmware? i googled it and it takes me to github but I dont see the file to download?
-
In github for RepRapFirmware look for the Releases page.

I was trying to figure out my sensors quirks a bit more today, and I updated from 2.04 to 2.05 ( firmware is here: https://github.com/dc42/RepRapFirmware/releases/tag/2.05). I was still having a problem with negative values being reported for the min range on M561 D0, so I reviewed the set up page again. I saw a new argument that I am going to test, but it might help you too.
"An (firmware 2.03 and later) 1 = check All extruder motion, 0 = only check extruder motion of printing moves (moves with both movement and forward extrusion)"
I'm hoping that this will keep my min range more reasonable, and I thought it might be useful for you too.

Thanks, that looks promising, I'll try that

Woah I just upgrade to 2.05 and now the web page looks totally different? and everything is larger and more confusing to find? is that normal?
-
@57buick That would be the new DWC 2.0. You can revert to the old version from the settings page. It takes some getting used to and it's still a work in progress. I say give it a chance and if you still don't like it you can swap back tot he old version.

I dont like it all, things are not organized in any way, I just converted back
