As a C & C++ programmer from around 1976 I'd love to see the Kernighan and Ritchie style with { } syntax. I hate Python indention style.
Just my opinion since you asked.

RE: PanelDue Firmware 3.3.0-rc2 released
Well I found my issue but I'm not sure how I did it. There was, indeed, a typo in the PanelDueFirmware.bin. Somehow I managed to get a leading space or some unprintable character before the P. I can't reproduce adding a leading space as both RRF and Windows will remove a leading space. I didn't notice it in the DWC but when I looked at the card in Windows the filename was shifted one position right.
Sorry for the false alarm.

DWC Feature request
Is it possible for the DWC to ask for confirmation for some buttons while the printer is printing? I just shot myself in the foot. I now have both printers running on Duets so I have two web pages open to control them. While one printer was 3 hours into a print I got distracted and clicked home all on the wrong page and screwed up the print. It was my fault but if the DWC can know the printer is printing a "Are you sure?" prompt would be helpful.

RE: SIMPLIFY 3D V 5 IS NOW OUT
@Joel I've got the same issue with V5 being able to only run on one PC at a time. The "must uninstall" message is very misleading.
You do not need to uninstall but "Deactivate Product" under the Help menu. You can then run V5 on the otherPC. When you have two PCs for printing on two different levels in the house and forget to deactivate one it's a pain.They offer a floating license for $199.00 that will allow you to just quit the application and restart on another PC but still one at a time. To me it's ludicrous for them to charge $199 for what I already had in V4.
I've got a few more days to decide to get a refund and I may do it just because of this licensing change.

RE: Possible to have both BLTouch and backup Z min endstop
Thanks again. Coming from Marlin I'm still getting used to all this run time flexibility. I should have moved from Marlin long ago.

RE: DWC 2 Issue displaying heightmap
OK, I have not yet tried to move back down to 3.1.1 but since I saw that 3.2.0-beta2 was released I thought I'd try it. Mixed results.
Here's the results with various browsersChrome 64 bit 85.0.4183.121
Still does not automatically update the graphic when you click on heightmap. If you manually reload the page you now see the updated map. I no longer get the "cannot read..." error message. So, an improvement.Firefox 64 bit 71.0
When you click heightmap you see a flash of the graphic and then nothing. If you click on the "invert z coordinates" the map graph is then displayed. You still need to reload the page to see the updated graphic.Brave 64 bit 1.18.84 Basically the same as Firefox.
Edge 64 bit 85.0.564.68 Basically the same as Chrome
Internet Explorer 64 bit 11.508.19041.0
This is interesting in that it never shows any DWC page. All you see is a blank page.This is all on Windows Pro version 2004 64 bit with all updates as of this afternoon.
I'll try 3.1 but I don't expect any change.

RE: Feedback wanted: conditional GCode without indentation
@fcwilt Yeah, I can agree with you on C++. I'd rather stick with straight C as most of my experience was with windows device drivers. In any case, it's better than Python.

RE: RepRapFirmware 3.0RC1 released
Got both my cartesian (Maestro) and delta(Duet Ethernet) running on 3.0RC1 with no issues other than those that were self inflicted. I don't have any specific printing requirements right now so I've just been printing calibration stuff and Benchys but all is working well. Thanks guys for all the work.

RE: Ringing/echo after migration to duet3d, rootcause lookup
OK, if the checkbox in S3D is unchecked is it not going to produce absolute extruder moves and if there is an M83 in config,g is the printer not going to expect relative moves?
Maybe this doesn't work as I thought.Answered my own question. I didn't realize that S3D would output the M82 as a result of the checkbox. Learned something new.

Maestro 12864 Menu inop after 3.3b1
I've been running 3.3b1 on my Maestro for several days with no printing problems. I just noticed that the menu system on the 12864 display is dead after 3.3b1. The display is active and updates correctly but the control knob is very dead as in pining for the fjords. I rolled back to 3.2 and the menu system is now back to working correctly.
Since it took me days to notice that the menu was broken shows how much I use it. I'll go back to 3.3b1 and wait for an update unless I missed some config. change required.

RE: RRF 3.5.3 G32 issue
@jay_s_uk I just walked by the printer and tried G32 again. Got several service unavailable messages plus a new one in the middle of the G32:
9/22/2024, 2:50:07 PM Warning: Driver 0 warning: phase B may be disconnected
Never saw that before. .Everything was moving properly.

RE: RRF 3.5.3 G32 issue
@jay_s_uk I think you're right. I just noticed the DWC thread also mentioning service unavailable. It appears I can make this happen so I'll be happy to try anything you guys need.

RE: RRF 3.5.3 G32 issue
@gloomyandy I guess I was a bit premature. I had a few other things to and left the printer on and idle. After lunch I walked past the printer and issued a G32 from another PC. Here's the result:

RE: RRF 3.5.3 G32 issue
@gloomyandy Well, I guess it's never mind. I had the printer and pc off overnight. When I tried the G32 this morning all ran fine. I ran G32 a number of time with no error messages. I do notice a very slight stutter at some points when the head will move to a position and just slightly hesitate before probing.
I reverted back to 3.5.1 and don't see this hesitation.
But, anyway, I can't reproduce my original issue. Do you happen to know what "Service Unavailable" means?Thanks

RRF 3.5.3 G32 issue
I just updated to 3.5.3 and noticed the following issue when I do a G32 Delta calibration. I have never seen this before. I have not tried to print so I don't know if this is just with G32. The Duet is Duet 2 Ethernet.

Dumb question but where is this debug.log that you are referring to?

RE: 3.50-beta3 Position Error Again
@jay_s_uk Oops, you're right. I missed that. I do wonder why 3.4.5 didn't seem to care - didn't produce
any error and printed the purge line just fine.Thanks.

3.50-beta3 Position Error Again
I'm having the same issue that has been marked as solved so I'm starting a new topic.
No errors are reported on 3.4.5.Since updating I'm getting two errors at the start of every print.
Error: in file macro: G1: G1/G2/G3: intermediate position outside machine limits and
Error: in file macro: G0: G1/G2/G3: intermediate position outside machine limitsI have attached my config.g and purge.g. Purge is run by the
slicer using M98 at the start of every print and is where the errors are coming.Any ideas?

RE: It's been a while so nothing is working
@elvisprestley said in It's been a while so nothing is working:
Supply voltage: min 0.5, current 0.5, max 13.0, under voltage events: 2, over voltage events: 0, power good: no
This seems significant to me.
