Spurios "sensor not work" and not enough movement faults
-
I bought my Magnetic filament monitor from filastruder and got it installed earlier this week.
Mechanicals:
Filament monitor installed before a bondtech extruder
12mm "airgap" of PTFE between the sensor and extruder, no movement at all between the two that i can discern

During the initial install and setup, i would constantly get the "extruder 0 reports not enough movement" error. I was able to get this to reduce significantly by changing the "E" argument in M591 to 20mm instead of the 3. I ran a few small test prints and the issue went away for all of those, so i started my longer 24 hour print.
about 3 hours into that print, i started getting the "sensor not working" error and the machine would pause. 3 hours later, the same error, 20 minutes later, same error, 1 hour later, same error..... continue randomly for the next 20 hours (and still having 8 hours of print left). 9 hours into the print, it started alternating between the "sensor not working" and the "extruder 0 reports not enough movement". In all of these instances, a M591 D0 reported back min and max settings within my specified range. Sensitivity was also fairly close to the config sensitivity setting.
I have checked all of the bolts on the sensor and they are tight (other than the short one, which is as tight as it will go seeing as how it feels like it was mostly stripped during factory assembly).
Now the latest problem is the Measured sensitivity went from 25.5 as shown in the Config.G to -27.77mm over 4m of filament use
here is a M591 after the last fault:
M591 D0
Duet3D magnetic filament monitor on input 3, disabled, sensitivity 25.50mm/rev, allow 70% to 120%, check every 20.0mm, version 3, mag 130 agc 113, measured sensitivity -27.77mm/rev, min 109% max 0% over 4027.0mmThe AGC value ever since install has always been between 105 and 120. The only way i have found on the net to reduce this is to either A-tighten the bolts (which didn't help) or B- sand the housing to get the magnet closer to the sensor?
I have also tried disabling the sensor on the fly with
M591 D0 SO
but that also does not work.Any insight? I bought this thing hoping to eliminate the jamming problems i get when the bowden tube wears out (which is about every 150 hours of print time), but it seems to be causing more headaches than it is worth at this point.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

30 minutes after the last "sensor not working" fault, i get another "sensor not working fault" and this M591 D0:
M591 D0
Duet3D magnetic filament monitor on input 3, disabled, sensitivity 25.50mm/rev, allow 70% to 120%, check every 20.0mm, version 3, mag 131 agc 112, measured sensitivity 26.34mm/rev, min 96% max 105% over 9473.5mmNow the sensitivity is back to a more normal number.
-
@invertmast with the laser filament monitor I started getting "sensor not working " pauses even though the sensor was disabled. I think it was a poor connection - since recrimping at the board end it hasn't recurred.
-
another "sensor not working" fault yet the M591 says the sensor was working fine.
Duet3D magnetic filament monitor on input 3, enabled, sensitivity 25.50mm/rev, allow 70% to 120%, check every 20.0mm, version 3, mag 132 agc 111, measured sensitivity 26.26mm/rev, min 91% max 103% over 40330.0mm

I am seeing the exact same issues, I have a few other posts in this category abou tit as well... Its incredibly frustrating. I just had to disable the sensors entirely to keep them from screwing up prints. As someone noted, even setting the M591 Dx to S0 wont stop "Sensor Not Working" errors. I've gotten the "Sensor Not working" errors on the extruder that wasnt even being used in a print before! (I have an IDEX rig)
You have to set to M591 Dx S0 P0 to fully disable the sensor(s) to stop the errors.
I am happy someone else is seeing this problem cause its driving me insane.
I've also done new wires, new crimps, shorter wires, even had a sensor RMA'd to see if that helped. I also tried differnet endstops (CONN_LCD and E1/Z endstops) per @dc42 @droftarts and others recommendations.

Its also interesting you are running a Duex as well. Curious if there is some commonality there and the reason others aren't reporting this.

It is incredibly frustrating! I just sanded a good bit of the pcb side of the housing down and was able to get the AGC down to around 80. I then did right at a 2 hour print with absolutely NO errors or pauses, which is the longest print i've had go error free since i installed it !
The range of output was between 84% and 104%, which was a significant increase as well.
I'm about to do a 8 hour print, so fingers crossed it actually helps!

well so much for those good vibes. 20 minutes into the print and it error'd with "Extruder 0 reports not enough movement"....
-
I had several not enough movement errors when I first installed the mag sensor. I was able to flash the firmware up to version 3 which did not really help, but it did show that the agc was in a good place, stays around 70. I had to really go through my printer and make sure everything was spot on. Delta, 1 meter Bowden tube, E3d V6 hot end and Duet smart effector. The big break through was reducing the exstruder motor current from 2400 to 2150 and then setup PTFE tubing from the filament spool to the monitor so that there is about 6 inches of tubing that directs the filiment straight into the monitor, no binding at monitor entrance. I have had this setup for some months now and rarely have movement issues and when I do there is always a reason, usually a slightly clogged nozzle. My printer is truely a load and go machine thanks to this monitor and the turning I had to do to make it work properly.

How do you update the firmware in the sensor? I am getting 'not enough movement' errors but my sensor does not report the 'AGC' value cheers

@invertmast, are your AGC readings still consistently below 100?
@CTRDevelopments, updating the firmware requires an AVR programmer (e.g. USBASP) and a 2.54mm pitch 2x3 pogo pin adapter such as this https://www.tindie.com/products/nicody/pogo-pins-2x6/ or https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11591.programming-/253682618407 or https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/POGO-ICSP-AVR-Pogo-Pin-ICSP-ISP-Adapter-Kit/153891594446.

dc42 , thanks. Would this work as the programmer?

@CTRDevelopments probably, but i'd consider either a genuine usbasp or a clone of something that isn't usbasp as the clones can be notoriously troublesome.
also check the links in this post if that is something you can use https://forum.duet3d.com/post/147110

@bearer thanks for this, I dont want something that will cause more issue than its worth!
-
I get pauses like this which I am confused about as it looks to me like it is within the limits set?
-
Rather than me mess it up can i send the unit back to get reprogrammed? It is causing me more hassle at the moment as it keeps stopping the print for no reason

I think we can arrange that. Which country are you in?

@dc42 UK, happy to post where ever needed. thanks

@dc42 If I purchase a new unit will it come with the newest firmware? Thinking it might be cheaper than sending this one back
