No output from G32 on DSF 1.2.4 / DWC 2.07

gtj0

There are issues with the latest DSF and getting responses sent to the correct (or any) location. For instance, if I run G32 in one instance of the UI the response used to show up on all instances connected but now it seems to show up only on the one that issued the command (but not always even there).

I started looking in the source for the issue to see if I can fix it myself but haven't really had time to dig into it as deep seems to be needed.

After an apt-get sequence, I still get it just fine.
Duet Web Control 2.0.7
Board: Duet 3 MB6HC (MB6HC)
DSF Version: 1.2.4.0
Firmware: RepRapFirmware for Duet 3 MB6HC v0.6 or 1.0 3.0 (2020-01-03b3)
Chrome browser, if that makes any difference.
2/15/2020, 7:14:53 PM G32
Leadscrew adjustments made: 0.118 0.120 0.109, points used 3, deviation before 0.115 after 0.000

Ok, this is weird. Right in the middle of working on some other things, I stopped getting responses to G32.

I had them earlier. I ran three G32 and watched the actual result get better and better. Later in the evening, suddenly, no output. Between those two, several e-stops (I'm working on probes that jam). Pi was up all the time.
Certainly no release changes, etc.

So far, I haven't been able to get it back.

Reboot of Pi, still no output.
E-Stop of firmware, still no output.
Power Cycle, still no output.

That last one baffles me to no end. Power cycle?

@Danal Well that's strange behaviour. I'm losing the console output immediately, as soon as DSF 1.2.4.0 is installed.
I really am confident it is the DSF, as I am now running on standalone mode with same firmware and same DWC version without issues.

Hopefully @chrishamm will get around to looking into this.

I'm glad it's not just me. This started as soon as I moved to Duet 3 h/w. If I press the level button on the panel due - then I get the expected output in both console and web interface via the pop up.

If I run G32 via the web console then the printer does run the macro as expected but I don't get any output.

Did anyone find a solution to this?

Yeah, I don't see anything in those logs that looks wrong.

Yes it is both weird and annoying.
The bed levelling must be working because my prints are still good but its not right that you get no feedback.
Do you think that the two issues may be linked?
i.e. there's no bed deviation result because it was only reported once?

I am still experiencing these problems on the latest build.
The G32 reporting mostly does not work although on odd rare occasions it does! and the fact that I still have to enter gcode commands twice in the console before they work is really annoying.

As a temporary workaround until this is fixed, you can display the G32 deviation by running M409 K"move.calibration". tested using RRF 3.01-RC4 (recommended DSF version for this release is 1.2.5).

Ok thanks for that.

Has development stopped on DSF? Not seen any commits on the repo since January. Is @chrishamm ok?

The Dev branch of https://github.com/chrishamm/DuetSoftwareFramework contains commits by chrishamm made 7 days ago. They were not packaged into a release on github; however, they do seem to have been used to build the 1.2.5 DSF release that is currently on the package server.

So he is around somewhere.

At the same time, may I make a plea for Duet to be more transparent about the roadmap? DC42 is doing an excellent job of communicating "next steps" for the firmware on the boards. However, the D3+Pi roadmap still seems vague.

Hi everyone, I am sorry for being unavailable for so long. Primarily this is because I've been designing a new machine which will be based on the Duet 3. That will allow me to replicate different operation modes and to replicate certain configurations and/or issues that have been very tricky to test.

As you may suspect I have prepared a new DWC version, which adopts David's new object model from RRF and likewise DSF has been improved, too. I'll release a new DSF version later this week which will also feature conditional G-code. Once these new versions are out, I'll be happy to provide support again.

Again, sorry for the inconvenience!

We are just very glad to hear that you are OK, and very glad to have you back!

No worries! I (and probably most others) understand that this is not your day job. Appreciate everything you're doing.

Looking forward to try the new release, when it's available.

Where is it then?

you can track the development on github while waiting for the packages to show up in the feed for apt.

@chrishamm Thanks a lot for the hard work. Installed DSF 1.3.0 and DWC 2.1.0 and RRF3.01-RC6. This issue with no output on the G32 command still persists, unfortunately.

chrishamm

@mvieleers Thanks for letting me know, I'll have a look.

mvieleers

@chrishamm Brilliant. Quick question, sorry to polute this topic, but were you able to implement conditional gcode in this version of dsf?

PaulHew

Just updated to 2.1.0. Think I have found an issue.
I cannot load my Height Map.
I have check the file is there and there are numbers in it but it tells me height map not available.

Have rebooted my Maestro and it still is not displaying.

Regards,

Paul

chrishamm

@mvieleers I hope I can get conditional G-code working in DSF next week.

@PaulHew Load the heightmap and it should be automatically displayed. I'll add a file list next to the 3D viewer at some point to avoid confusion.

Have pressed the 'Reload height map' button and it will not load.

I will rename the current heightmap.csv and run another.
