Auto Resume after Pause

techworld

Hello all,

We are using Duet 6 XD with SBC.

Usually when we pause the print, it will be in pause condition till we resume it.
But now for the last 3 days, after pausing, it is resuming automatically within 10 seconds.
We tried slicing in different slicers. But it auto resumes within 10-12 seconds.

Duet Web Control 3.4.5
Board: Duet 3 MB6XD (MB6XD)
DSF Version: 3.4.5
Firmware: RepRapFirmware for Duet 3 MB6XD 3.4.5 (2022-11-30)

Below you can find the configuration files
config.g
pause.g
resume.g
M122.txt

Thank you

@techworld are you using daemon.g?

techworld

@jay_s_uk no not using.

We are using the machine for last 4 months. We tried to install 'Tool Alignment Vision' plugin from community. It didnt get install properly. Then we reinstalled the original Duet Pi image back to RPI.

This has happened 3 days back only. From that onwards it is behaving like this.

We reinstalled everything properly.

@techworld I don't see what could cause an automatic resume of the print except for maybe an extra trigger that is configured somewhere else. You can run this command on the SBC and check what G-code source makes the print resume: /opt/dsf/bin/CodeLogger -t pre

techworld

@chrishamm @jay_s_uk When I run the command /opt/dsf/bin/CodeLogger -t pre
we found that after pause, it is immediately triggering M24.
Then it runs resume.g and resuming the print.

I checked all the sys files. Nowhere I am finding this M24.

@techworld M24 comes from a web source. Did you make any changes to the UI?

@chrishamm As mentioned earlier, we tried to install Tool Alignment Vision' plugin from community. It didnt get install properly. Then we reinstalled the original Duet Pi image back to RPI.

@techworld The only occurrence of M24 in DWC is in the Pause/Resume button. Something must click it again after pausing to make it send that code. I have no explanation why that happens on your setup, perhaps you have a glitchy input device. The underlying code hasn't been changed for ages and I am not aware of anyone else experiencing the same problem.

Does it still happen when you close the web UI while the machine is pausing? You could also check out the duetwebserver journal logs to see from what IP the M24 came.

Recently installed DuetLapse3 plugin, the plugin is working fine we are able to get the time lapse video.

We have tried this

Stopped the DuetLapse3 plugin and tested pause function
here pause is working fine, I'm able to pause the print and its not resuming automatically.
But when I run DuetLapse3 plugin the print is automatically resuming after giving pause. When pause the print is getting paused, after few seconds again it's resuming.
We've tried different settings in DuetLapse3.config file but still the problem is occurring.

@techworld As this seems to be being triggered by DuetLapse3 plugin, it may need @stuartofmt (DuetLapse3 developer) to have a look.

Can you please post your DuetLapse3.config file. There are options in DuetLapse3 that (deliberately) detect a pause and cause DuetLapse3 to capture an image and then resume. I suspect that is what is happening here.

techworld

@stuartofmt Please find the config file data:

-duet 192.168.29.90
-port 8082
-basedir /opt/dsf/sd/DuetLapse3
-camera1 stream
-weburl1 http://DP500:8081/0/stream
-seconds 20
-detect pause
-verbose
-keepfiles
-restart

@techworld

Looks like DuetLapse3 is working as it should. The -detect pause is telling DuetLapse3 that if the print job is paused, capture an image, then unpause. The pause can come from DWC or be embedded in gcode. That option is based on the printer state.

If you remove -detect pause your current config will capture an image every 20 seconds

If, otherwise DuetLapse3 is working as you like, I'd also consider removing -verbose

Full descriptions of the options are on the github site. Also documented are gcode commands that you can include in your gcode (typically using slicer pre and post print) to turn DuetLapse on / of on a per print basis. So the whole process can be automated.

@stuartofmt We have changed the DuetLapse3.config as recommended, still auto resume is occurring.

Let me take a look. I re-arranged some code in that area as part of the "tidy-up' for the plugin and may have introduced a bug.

I will get to it quickly.

I looks like it was a pretty obvious "one-liner" (silly on my part). I do not have time to test it for a couple of days. If you would like to try:
Here is a new Zip file for the plugin - you'll need to remove .txt from the filename:
DuetLapse3-5.2.x.zip.txt

Hi @stuartofmt I'm trying to install the plugin, got this error while installing.

Couldn't install Plugin

@techworld

I cannot reproduce the issue on my machine. Here's what I suggest:

Use DWC --> plugins --> external. If DuetLapse3 plugin is there: stop the plugin, refresh the browser and uninstall the plugin.
Remove traces of DuetLapse from prior installs etc. with sudo rm -f /opt/dsf/dwc/js/DuetLapse3.*
Remove the -restart from your DuetLapse3.conf file. Its possible that DuetLapse 3 is still running in the background even though the plugin is stopped. I have not checked that behavior. In any case, when running as a plugin, -restart may not have any utility.
Reboot the pi
Install the plugin.

As an aside - when I downloaded the plugin from the post above I ended up (windows 11) with a file called 1682005550329-duetlapse3-5.2.x.zip.zip versus .txt at the end. In any case (out of curiosity) - I tried installing with the .zip.zip file and by removiing the last .zip ... BOTH worked !

@techworld

Any update? I was able to test at my end and it seems to work fine. But I want to make sure its working OK for you before I assume success.

techworld

@stuartofmt I am not sure what has happened.

Automatically the plugin got installed. Now it is working fine.

We have the 'DuetPi Management Plugin' installed. Is it the one which made the installation?

Another question:

Can we make the auto pause at every layer change and take a pic? (The famous one with Octoprint)

Thanks for the support
