@dc42 I would like to find out more about customization of the UI for my application. While I would like to learn how to do this myself, I am responsible for electromechanical design of the product and just don't have the bandwidth. What is the best way to proceed with this?

@oliof Thank you, that was it - missed that in the docs
Hello all,
I running into an issue with not being able to create global arrays. If I put the declaration "global testarray = {255,255,255}" in a macro and attempt to set to it I get "Error: unknown variable 'global.testarray' of xx.g" when I run the macro. If I declare the array in Duet Web Control I get the error "global testarray = {255,255,255} Error: {255,255,255}expected '}' ". Basic variables work fine. I can't find what could be causing this.
I am running:
Duet Web Control 3.4.6
Board: Duet 3 MB6HC (MB6HC)
DSF Version: 3.4.6
Firmware: RepRapFirmware for Duet 3 MB6HC 3.4.4+1 (2022-11-15)
TIA -John

@gloomyandy I have only been testing up to 30 LEDs on the strip so far,
@oliof Thank you, I will look into upgrading to see if that helps. I haven't done a firmware upgrade yet.
Hello all, I am working with a Neopixel LED strip on a Duet 3 Mainboard 6HC, RRF v3.4. Using the M150 (not the config statement) command in a macro loop it seems the execution time for this command is around 200-250ms. If I run a series of M150 commands or a loop the result it the same. I can't find anything in the documentation regarding execution time so I'm not sure if this is expected behavior or something else I need to look into. I would like to make more rapid updates if possible.
TIA - John
@dc42 Thank you, I will contact info@ for more information.
My next hurdle would be to get modified firmware for the application. Would it be possible to contact some of these OEMs for insight on what they did with firmware, and who they may have used for the programming? Also would looking for firmware programmers here on the forum be an option?
Hello, Is anyone using the Duet 6HC in saleable product? I am developing a product for a client with several steppers, heaters, and sensors and the 6HC is the perfect platform for development; the G-Code functionality and ease of configuring is great. This product is not a 3D printer, laser cutter, or CNC so I would have some other challenges in implementing the 6HC for production, also questions on longevity / availability.
TIA - John
Hello all,
I am building a custom device that uses 6 stepper motors with homing switches on each. This is not a printer or cutter, no defined 'axes', just specific motors that I need to coordinate the motion of. Would it be possible to use the Duet 3 6HC (I have one on-hand from a 3D printer I was working on). I like the idea of using G Code to program all the motor motion but can't use a normal coordinate system. Any thoughts?
Thank you
