@jay_s_uk THX !

@mrehorstdmd Hi ! Which would you recommend?

Ok, problem solved. No need to run a macro from config.g. M552 S2 command is only needed after setting up WiFi module using M589 command with appropriate parameters via usb.

Hello,

I've got a Duet 2 WiFi board. I am running 1.21 firmware version. I am able to connect to this board via USB, using Pronterface. Then with following M commands it is possible to set up WiFi as AP

SENDING:M552
WiFi module is idle

m552 s0
SENDING:M552 S0
M589 S"DuetSSID" P"password" I192.168.0.1 C1
SENDING:M589 S"DuetSSID" P"password" I192.168.0.1 C1
M552 S2
SENDING:M552 S2
WiFi module is providing access point DuetSSID, IP address 192.168.0.1

Now I want all of this to run as a macro called form config.g, at a start, so I specified name of the macro: start-access-point.g, and put an M98 P"start-access-poit.g" command in config.g file. Nothing happens. Wi-Fi is in idle state. No AP is established.

@OwenD Thanks ! Your solution is awesome !

@Phaedrux As an example. You have a car that almost all things are wired. Your brakes are controlled by wire and requires a g- file to strat an action. If there is no a g-file for your brakes your car should not start. If it does you probably would be in a big trouble when you put the brake on. Why ? Because nothing happens due to a lack of g-file, and the only thing you you would see before a crash is a warning message on your control screen - no g-file found.

@Phaedrux Well, please do net get me wrong. It is powerful system, but many basic functions are hardcoded in competitive systems. I do not see any advantages in allowing flexibility for basic functions that refer to g-files. I am rather talking about safety. As you know, deleting a file through a web application isn't a big deal. In my opinion when you see a bunch of buttons on tft screen, you assume all of them are working. It's not about custom macros. It's about firmware that points to files that may not exist even without warning.

@fcwilt said in System files check:

envision

When you see a main screen on tft there are many buttons. Each button triggers an action. When you delete a file responsible for such action you get an error message or nothing would happen. So, imagine that someone by mistake, has deleted a file responsible for emergency stop, and during the operation this button is pressed in. Nothing will happpen but you get only an error message...

@Phaedrux pause.g, trigger3.g, trigger.g etc,

@Veti I am running version 3. When you deleta a system file responsible for some action nothing happens until you call the action. If you push the button on screen the firmware responds with error message, but in my opinion this message should apear at the beginning, when you turn on the electronics. This means that firmware is unaware of deleted files (function files) util you call them. That, in my opinion isn't a good solution, because it may lead to unexpected results.

Hello,

I,ve found that deleting a file in sys folder makes no impact for running a firmware. The lack of file is noticed only in the monent of calling a function. Is it possible to perform a self check of firmware at the beginning of run ? I mean that in case of a lack of file should be clearly noticed right after powering on the electronics.

@deckingman
Duet3d is an awesome electronics. Therefore it is implemented in many professional applications. That's why I've asked for such feature, because in my opinion it's very important in this area.

Hello !

I am wondering if there is a feature for Reprap Firmware which counts the total hours of operation and/or total hours of printing? To be clear, the total hours of operation counter would start increasing as soon as there is power to the Duet Board. In a similar manner the total hours of printing counter would increase only while printing.
