Unsolved How to get DWC to Display what line of Gcode it is on?

[Tinman]

@Sindarius Thanks for your reply. Just turned on the G-code viewer plugin. It looks like it will help a lot with finding the problem. Many thanks!

I was able to run M122 where it stopped. Any thoughts on this?

@Tinman Doesn't look like the firmware has crashed, but for some reason it seems to be stuck trying to process this line:

File is doing "G1 X-6.962 Y2"

Given this line:

Scheduled moves 1160, completed 1155, hiccups 0, stepErrors 0, LaErrors 0, Underruns [0, 0, 16], CDDA state 3

The problem may be a little bit before the above line, as it looks like for some reason the firmware has not been able to complete all of the scheduled moves. Not really sure why. It would probably help if you can reduce things down to as simple as possible gcode file.

[Tinman]

@gloomyandy Thanks for looking at this with me. Just ran the file again. It failed in a similar manner but not on exactly the same line.

[Tinman]

@gloomyandy Something I noticed is it is milling at Z-4 and then suddenly the machine freezes and simultaneously DWC displays Z0.886 which is not accurate- it's still at Z-4 position.

[gloomyandy]

@Tinman As I said I think the next step is to try and get a small reproducible case that DC42 can take a look at. Ideally you want a very simple config.g file and a short gcode file.

[Tinman]

@gloomyandy will do

[Tinman]

@gloomyandy

Here’s a video of the behaviour

https://youtu.be/7BHlPzQdbNg

[Tinman]

@gloomyandy The problem goes away if I separate the toolpath steps. I've been working hard to enable toolchanges etc so that I can put in a workpiece, run the file and get a finished part. Having to run 8 separate files to mill a part is not ideal.

[Tinman]

@gloomyandy You may find it interesting that I can take a file that consistently fails at around 2% of completion, delete the last 90% of the file so that the part where it fails is still intact, re-run the file and it sails right past the place it failed before.

Are there issues related to file size when doing CNC files?

[dc42]

@Tinman I see you are running firmware 3.5beta2. Please upgrade to 3.5beta3 and see whether the issue still occurs.

[Tinman]

@dc42 Thanks for looking into this. I have just upgraded to beta 3 and still having this problem. I'd be happy to send you a file to look at.

[Tinman]

@Tinman Until then I need to break CNC jobs into 4 to 8 multiple parts to get the machine to run them without needing to do a hard reset. Problem with a hard reset is that it results in the loss of WCS which is almost always probed on a surface that has now been milled away.

[dc42]

@Tinman I think the issue may be related to the multiple motion systems in RRF 3.5 and the code in your stop.g file. Does the problem go away if you remove the M0 command from the end of the job file? What commands do you have in stop.g?

[Tinman]

@dc42 I opened this topic because I wanted to be able to run a full job with multiple toolchanges from a single gcode file. Perhaps I will start a separate thread about recovering WCS from an e-stop.

For now though, would you take a look at one of my multi toolchange files that fails on beta 2 and beta 3?

[dc42]

@Tinman as I said in my previous post, I think the issue is related to the contents of your stop.g file. So I need to see the contents of that file.

I can think of a way to save and restore the WCS offsets, so please start a separate thread on that topic.

[Tinman]

@dc42 There's not a single line of active code in my stop.g just a few disabled lines:

; stop.g
; called when M0 (Stop) is run (e.g. when a print from SD card is cancelled)
;
; generated by RepRapFirmware Configuration Tool v3.3.15 on Thu Dec 01 2022 17:27:42 GMT-0500 (Eastern Standard Time)

[dc42]

@Tinman thanks. Please make the file available. I am away from the office so I won't be able to try it for a few days.

[Tinman]

@dc42 I had to change extension from .nc to .gc for site to allow upload.

Thanks again for looking at this. It gets about halfway through the initial face milling process before it freezes. Roughly (very roughly) around line 500.

Axle Insert Flat Side Complete Job.gc

[Tinman]

@dc42 The behaviour of this file is even more troubling:

Tall Axle Insert Whole Job.gc

The Z axis randomly climbed by about 70mm during the facing operation and then froze. There is nothing unusual in that section of the file. This kind of behaviour is dangerous in a cnc machine. The latest RRF updates have been great however as our mill becomes more mature and our users want to run real jobs this is going to be a serious obstacle.
