I guess this might be a question best addressed to @chrishamm
I'm the current keeper of Danal's TAMV/DuetWebAPI project for the Jubilee community, and I've run into some sort of buffer error constantly while using the python libraries we've got up and running.
I'm testing them out on my Duet2/Duex5 setup, running RRF3.2 and the latest DWC/etc. Our python library that runs calls to rr_gcode is now causing buffer errors on the controller constantly, and I've been getting dropped connections to the board (not the Wifi, but to DWC itself) as a result too. These issues never used to happen on the RRF2.0.5 and the old DWC at all, so I'm assuming something has changed under the hood with how API calls are processed that leads to the error.
Wifi reception is stable around -57dB, wifi module doesn't drop at all when I see these errors, and no errors are reported on a browser concurrently running a DWC session to the print, nor are they appearing anywhere on my PanelDue (using a 4 wire connector, no ribbon cable).
I've tried mitigating this issue by running the following sequence for each gcode being issued:
- start a session using rr_connect and a blank password
- call rr_gcode with no parameters and check the buffer response (usually almost always at 255)
- call rr_gcode with the command to be sent
- check for "200" status reply
- call rr_disconnect
In previous iterations of the code, we simply used a fire & forget call to rr_gcode. With or without the buffer check I'm now running, I'm getting 0x0c error codes thrown by the board, and I'm getting dropped connections to DWC (again, controller is fine, not rebooting at all). FWIW I have AJAX retries set to 5 in DWC (although I'm not sure this affects the code I'm running from python at all)
Any ideas what may be going on, or how I can troubleshoot this further?
The python procedure issuing the call can be found at [this repo file on line 191].(https://github.com/HaythamB/TAMV/blob/master/DuetWebAPI.py)
