Hello everyone,

Just bumping this up—can anyone help with my Y-axis homing process issue? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Hello everyone,

I need some advice and help regarding the homing process of the Y-axis for my 3D printer. My setup involves two independent Y-motors, each with its own end stop for homing. Here’s a brief overview of the current homing process:

1. The crossbar moves all the way to the front and touches either the left or right endstop.
2. It then backs up a few millimeters.
3. One motor touches the first endstop again, and the other motor moves to reach the second endstop.

This setup works well for me, but I would like to enhance it by adding a feature that reports if the adjustment made by the second motor is larger than 0.5 mm. This would help in identifying when the motion system may require adjustment.

Here is the script I have so far. The commented-out portion is my attempt to calculate the deviation (dd), but it isn’t working correctly.

if state.status == "off"
  M80                      ; Turn on power

Dear @droftarts,

Thank you for your reply and advice regarding the M552 commands order, I have changed the script accordingly and rerun the test. Unfortunately, it didn't work, so I have added echo to see where it failed. It failed at the same place as before at the M589 command line.

Thank you for your advice regarding the wait time to obtain the IP address, I set it to 0.1 sec on purpose to speed up the process of testing.

Dear Tony,

Thank you for your reply, I have added echo commands to the script and ran it as a separate macro from DWC, the machine was not able to send the M589 command, the WiFi module did not switch to AP mode as was commanded and I have manually restarted it.

During the test machine was connected through WiFi and I was testing network.interfaces[0] (Ethernet)

Please let me know if there is any other test I should perform.

Thank you for your help!

The Macro:

echo >"0:/macros/report.txt" "Start"

var it = 0

;while network.interfaces[0].actualIP = "0.0.0.0" && network.interfaces[1].actualIP = "0.0.0.0" && iterations < 30
while network.interfaces[0].actualIP = "0.0.0.0" && iterations <= 30
  set var.it = var.it + 1
  echo >>"0:/macros/report.txt" "1st Loop Iteration: "^var.it
  G4 S.1

echo >>"0:/macros/report.txt" "1st Loop Out"



;if network.interfaces[0].actualIP != "0.0.0.0" || network.interfaces[1].actualIP != "0.0.0.0"
if network.interfaces[0].actualIP != "0.0.0.0"
  echo >>"0:/macros/report.txt" "IF - Network Connected"

Hello,

I am hoping to get some assistance with creating a macro for my Duet 3 mainboard. The macro should do the following:

1. Check if there is an active network connection (either Ethernet or Wi-Fi)
2. If no network connection is established, enable the Access Point (AP) mode on the Duet 3's Wi-Fi module

This Macro is called from config.g through runonce.g:

echo >"0:/sys/runonce.g" "M98 P""0:/sys/networktest.g"""

However, when attempting to run this macro, I am encountering an error message that says "SPI timeout".

I would greatly appreciate any help or guidance on how to properly write this macro and resolve the SPI timeout error at line 17 (M589).

Thank you

Hello,

I would like to revisit a topic that was raised and closed back in 2016. I would like to clarify about the current support for HTTPS.

Upon reviewing the documentation, it's indicated that there is an option to select between HTTP and HTTPS protocols. However, despite my efforts, I've found myself unable to switch to HTTPS. Could anyone provide clarity on whether this functionality is now fully supported and, if so, guide me on how to activate HTTPS for our operations?

Additionally, there's mention of TLS support. The documentation hints at this feature not being fully implemented yet. Could someone update me on the current status of TLS support as for now?

I appreciate any updates you can provide regarding HTTPS and TLS support. Thank you.

Kind regards,
Nazar

Hello,

I have an old Duet 6HC V1.01 and I purchased your WiFi module and then discovered that it is only compatible with newer boards. Since the main processor is the same I suppose it is relatively easy to wire it to alternative pins and configure custom firmware, isn't it?

I would greatly appreciate any guidance or insights from the community on how to approach this.

Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.
