Inconsistent delays during homing and other movements
-
Oh, realized I should include the version info (M115):
FIRMWARE_NAME: RepRapFirmware for Duet 2 WiFi/Ethernet FIRMWARE_VERSION: 2.0(RTOS) ELECTRONICS: Duet Ethernet 1.02 or later FIRMWARE_DATE: 2018-06-05b3
Also, I should mention that I've noticed sometimes various commands over the USB connection seem to have a delay. Ie: something like M115 might take a few seconds before it returns the firmware version.
-
@synfinatic Can you post a copy of your config.g, and homeall.g files as you have them? I tried piecing it together from the github link you posted but it's a bit all over the place.
Also, after it's behaved odly like that can you run an M122 to get a diagnostic dump and post that here as well.

ok -
@synfinatic Just to chase things along, can you also post the macros that those homing macros call?
-
Here's a zip file (forums won't let me upload zip files) of the entire contents of my sd card: https://synfin.net/misc/duet-config.zip

@synfinatic Thanks thats a lot easier.

I should mention it's not just homing. That's just the obvious example. Manual moves after a successful homing also tend to have random ~20sec delays before execution. The first few times it happened I thought it didn't register the click and I'd click the button again... so the commands would end up getting queued up and execute over time.
-
Other than calling a lot of nested macros I can't see anything obvious that should cause those delays.
You may want to try the latest firmware beta. https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/6070/new-firmware-2-01-beta-2-available
-
@synfinatic Are those clicks in the DWC or on the PanelDue? What version of DWC are you running? Try the new firmware beta 2 along with the DWC beta 2 from the same download link.
-
I have been testing via the webUI. I've upgraded the firmware and webcontrol files to the latest beta. Started the full homing (via web) and X & Y seemed to work fine. But it never dropped the gantry to home Z and then gave up. The console has the error:
Error: Z probe was not triggered during probing move
Which is accurate.
Rebooted the whole printer and started homing via the PanelDue. That worked perfectly. Moved it around in X, Y, Z, no problems. Re-homed a few more times (still using the PanelDue) and it worked great.
So then started using the WebUI again. Did a full home- worked fine. Tried moving in X and it moved in X and Y. Went back to the PanelDue and verified that DOES NOT happen when moving via the PanelDue. Did more moves via the webUI and seems like any X or Y moves diagonally in both X and Y. If I didn't know better I'd say my CoreXY printer was setup wrong, but this is only happening via the webui.
Update: I should mention that it doesn't move in X and Y when homing X or Y. It only does that during moves post-homing.
-
Can you confirm you are using this version of the DWC?
https://github.com/dc42/RepRapFirmware/releases/download/2.01beta2/DuetWebControl-1.21.2-b2.zip
-
Yeah, I uploaded the b2 DWC zip file via the UI after upgrading the firmware.
So I downgraded back to the release version and moving via the web (after homing via paneldue) only moves in a single axis at a time, but there's about a 5sec delay before executing the move. No delay with the paneldue.
I also tried re-homing via DWC, and it's slooooowwwwww again.
-
Hopefully from the information we've gathered someone will have a better idea of what might be going on.
BTW, have you printed anything yet? Does it execute a print properly?
-
Back to beta2 firmware and DWC.
Behaving the same as I described before with this version. The only additional info I can provide is I notice when doing a moves, they're not just running at angles, but reversed on the selected axis. Basically -100 Y causes the head to move +50Y and -50X. Same pattern for X moves. The head position values in the upper right corner of the DWC update correctly based on the physical movement of the head.
-
If you manually go through the movement testing section for coreXY do you get the movements you expect?
https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/ConfiguringRepRapFirmwareCoreXYPrinter#Section_Movement_section
-
@phaedrux Nope. Just finished wiring and slowly bringing the printer to life. Was acting so wonky I haven't even gotten to the gantry leveling step or even tried the extruder.
Honestly, until upgrading to beta2 I was pretty much convinced my board was bad and I needed to RMA it with Filastruder. But b2 seems like an improvement (at least it seems more consistent) so not sure anymore
-
@phaedrux It was fine under 2.0 and is fine under 2.01.beta2 via the PanelDue. Only has issues under 2.01beta2 via the DWC.
BTW, thanks for the help. Feel like we made some progress. Hopefully someone else can provide some ideas.
-
Have you been able to get any feedback from the creators of the config set?
-
I've been talking to a few other people with the same printer using the same config. Nobody has seen anything like this. They were thinking I had a bad board.
Ran M122 again, just for comparison:
