Pronterface for debugging?

jazbaatbadalgaye

How (assuming we can) can I use pronterface to display the clocksNeeded? I have added a print statement however I have no idea how to print it on the console?

@jazbaatbadalgaye
Taking example from case 118
https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/blob/a1b2f3a78bc198129a03df2e87c9b594edf7fd6b/src/GCodes/GCodes2.cpp#L1593
Could you try to print it out in similar format such as M118 P1 S"Layer change"; that works well with Pronterface?

@jazbaatbadalgaye Other way may be from M111 which then usesDebugPrintAll If you enable both P4 & P6

M111 S1 P4 ;Move debugging
M111 S1 P6 ;DDA debugging

Or just

M111 S1 P3 ;GCode debugging

I guess there could be a meaningful point to display the clocksNeeded together with other info somewhere among these.

@petriheino I added

M111 S1 P4 ;Move debugging
M111 S1 P6 ;DDA debugging

to the config.g file but when I send a move command, lets say G0 X20 Y30 I don't really see any data on the console. I also tried to send M111 S1 P4 & M111 S1 P6 in the console but no avail

@jazbaatbadalgaye

it may require running a series of codes from a gcode file to start outputting,

I havent tried debug without running gcode file, so you might need to start a file.

I think once you get debug working, the cks output gives the clocksNeeded.

@petriheino Hey! I was able to get the number of clocks needed by just adding

debugPrintf("Clocks needed : %lu",(unsigned long)clocksNeeded);

And then when I send a command G0 X22 Y32, it displays the no of clocks needed on the G code terminal on pronterface. But when I try to do the same for the number of steps by adding

debugPrintf("Total Steps : %ld",labs(delta));

I don't get anything. Any idea how to go about this? My last resort would be to install putty and read the incoming serial debugging data

@jazbaatbadalgaye
Maybe printing uint32_t totalSteps from DriveMovement.h could work?
