If M28/M29 was used in a macro file to then the commands between M28 and M29 were executed as well as being written to the target file

The part with executing as well as writing seems to be fixed but still not working as expected. M29 does not seem to be recognized inside a macro. Or not executed.

I have the following filament load macro:

M28 /sys/current_material.g
M98 P/macros/Settings/PETG/DevilDesign
M29

It will now successfully create the file /sys/current_material.g reliably
It will not exectute /macros/Settings/PETG/DevilDesign (this file exists)
It will not close the file at the end of the macro but continue to write all following commands into this file until I explicitely call M29 via GCode console - strangely enough the M29 from the macro will also not end up in the written file

So, if I execute the above macro by loading the filament this is assigned to and afterwards enter the following commands manually in GCode Console

M82
M84
M29

I end up with the following contents in /sys/current_material.g

M98 P/macros/Settings/PETG/DevilDesign
M82
M84

If I enter M29 immediately after loading the filament it will only be the first line.

EDIT: On GCode console I get the following output (note: descending time stamp)

16:27:04    M29
            Done saving file.
16:26:54    M702
            M701 S"PETG_DevilDesign"
            Writing to file: /sys/current_material.g
            GCode end-of-file being interpreted.

Would it be possible to get a mirror for the files? github seems to have problems.

@dc42 laser engraving working great here too. With the G1 S for lasers you said would be in 2.02 (I think) things should be perfect!

@obeliks nevermind, it's back

Strange, I tested it several times and it worked for me. Please try adding a comment line in your macro file after the M29 command, in case the M29 at the end of the file isn't being interpreted correctly..

Adding an additional line with just a comment at the end makes it work. Adding an inline comment on the M29 line does not change the faulty behavior.

Now, why would the last line not be interpreted correctly? These seems only to apply to M29. I just tested with a M117 as the last line (right after M29) and the text was displayed.

Using this version on 4 different printers with no noticable differences between beta 1 and 2. BLtouch has been working much better over these past two versions. Thanks for taking the time to make them work perfectly (ie no-bounce, fast response).

Before you added the comment, did you have a newline at the end of the M29, or not?

I did not. Is that an implicit requirement?

EDIT: Empty newline at the end also works.

Thanks for confirming that. The firmware appends a newline to the end of the last command if there isn't one, but I guess it's doing it a little too late in the case of having to recognise M29. I'll fix it in the next beta or RC if the fix isn't complicated.

On the Duet 2 Maestro, the 2 optional add-on drivers are now assumed to be TMC2224 with UART interface

Amazing! I will have some time on the weekend to properly test this! Along with the 7th Driver pin reversal. I will report back as soon as I can.

@dc42 got to testing it all sooner than expected. Can confirm microstepping is now applying on both addon drivers and driver 6 (7th driver) is also working as expected.

Are there any commands or anything else I can do to help you confirm all is working as expected?

Thanks for confirming this. I can't think of any other tests needed on the expansion board at present.

I just had a print stop on me. I think it happened when I tried to connect to the DWC from my iphone to check on the print. I had just looked at the camera and things we're going smoothly. I loaded the DWC and it wouldn't finish loading on the iphone. I went to check the printer and it was stopped sitting above the print. Heaters off and cooling down.

In the console of the PanelDue I also see an error from 3 hours earlier saying Wifi reported error: incomplete write. But nothing else. I'm not sure what that would have been from.

I'm running an earlier version of post 2.0 beta firmware (will confirm on Monday) on a Duet Ethernet/Deux5/CoreXY with three steppers for the z-axis.

I run a bed level compensation that probes three points in the bed.g file and adjusts the screws to level the bed.

I've a limit switch on max y (homing works fine) but found that if the coordinate in the bed.g is beyond that limit switch the system will drive the axis into the switch and then some while the stepper misses steps.

Thanks for your report. Unfortunately the stack trace doesn't provide any useful data in this case. I will change it in the next beta.

The coordinates of points in bed.g files are not checked against the axis limits. This is because on delta printers it is sometimes useful to probe beyond the normal bed limits.

DocTrucker

@dc42 Probing beyond a limit switch? That behaviour should be an exception rather than norm? If this is still the case would it be more sensible to have a hard limit and print limit for the axis maximum and minimum?

helluscorus

Is it now normal for the DWC manual controls to ignore the configured the M208 maxima? I'm not using max endstops on my cartesian and now it's able to crash past the set maxima when jogging the axis around. The previously installed 2.0 release build did not allow this with the same config.

Phaedrux

I'm also still finding that my first layer heights are off unless I clear the heightmap and reload it after homing Z.

G29 S2 			; Disable bed compensation.
G29 S2 			; Disable compensation again.
G28 Z			; Home Z
G29 S1 			; Load heightmap.csv and enable compensation.
