Your firmware is quite out of date and there is a new branch of wifi firmware that may work better for you. I suggest you update.

https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/releases/tag/3.5.0-rc.3

You'll need Duet3Firmware_Mini5plus.uf2, and DuetWiFiServer.bin. And you'll need to manually replace the DWC files in the WWW folder with the files from DuetWebControl-SD.zip.

It would also be useful to know if you have the same issues with the 3.4.6 release.

@tylersuard if you use 3.5 series firmware then with the Duet3D magnetic encoders you don't need to do the calibration every time, only when the relative positions of the encoder board, motor shaft and magnet may have changed.

Can you send M98 P"config.g" and share any errors?

@tylersuard thanks, I'll mark this as solved.

I have written a draft closed loop motor tuning guide for RRF 3.5 at https://docs.duet3d.com/User_manual/Tuning/Duet_3_1HCL_tuning#manual-tuning-when-using-reprapfirmware-35x.

@dc42 That worked, thank you, but now my motors won't move. I will post in another thread.

@tylersuard it's 'SDiap' in the filenames, meaning the 'iap' (In-App Programmer) file is on the 'SD' card. There are also 'CAN' iap versions in the latest releases (for mainboards running as expansion boards). But you call it what you want!

@OwenD Thank you Owen. I figured it out. I cut open the RJ11 cable, crimped the 2 middle wires (of 4) into a molex connector, and made sure I was matching L to L and H to H.

@tylersuard it’s really only intended for high-end/large printers, is a premium product, not mainstream.

@OwenD Understood now, thank you.

Start here and let us know what you find.

@tylersuard if you send M308 S0 from the DWC console, what is the response?

@tylersuard The fuse works on the peak current, not the average. It doesn't matter if you set the PWM to 50%, the peak current drawn by the heater remains at over 7A. Fuses are safety devices. The 5A fuse is intended to protect both the switch/socket and the connected circuit. It's not a good idea to simply replace the fuse with one rated for higher current. If you want to maintain the safety of the whole circuit, you should replace the power switch/connector/fuse device with one rated well above the current that your device is actually going to use.

ave you seen this happen to other boards?

I've seen the firmware crash, but not seen the terminal responses you were getting. 3.4.1 is a bit old. There may have been bugs that were fixed since. If you do reset the board, send M122 as soon as you are reconnected and copy and paste it here.

@tylersuard said in Web UI not accessible if I leave printer on Pause for too long:

what do you mean by manually setting the Z position?

I mean that since you will have a print on the bed you won't be able to home Z unless you have a zmax endstop. So you would need to manually set the Z position. You can do this once you have determined the exact layer height you were at by moving the nozzle down carefully to just touch the print and then using G92 Znnn to set the height where nnn is the Z height of the last finished layer.
then if you edit the gcode file to remove all the previously printed layers and start gcode you can start the print and it should resume printing over the last layer.

Go through this guide and let us know what you find and how far you get.

I didn't like having to do this in the middle of a print, but turing it off and then on again worked.

@tylersuard one option is to use EXP1HCL expansion boards to drive stepper motors with built in quadrature encoders. They can be connected to your Duet 3 Mini.

We also have in prototype form magnetic encoder boards that can be bolted on the back of existing 1.8deg stepper motors, for use with the EXP1HCL; and we have other closed loop options under development.

As @DIY-O-Sphere suggests, if you currently run the X and Y motors in stealthChop mode then switch them to spreadCycle to better handle obstructions.

Yes solving the rough spots would be the best way to go.

If all you want to do is home the X and Y during a pause, simply add G28 XY to your pause.g macro.

@tylersuard that's ok as it's still part of the same board, so just connect it as normal.
When it says the sensor must be connected to the same board it's talking about when using CAN-FD boards e.g. having the extruder connected to a toolboard you can't then have the sensor connected to a main board or another expansion board

The answer: I had created a retraction tower earlier. The "alter Gcode" plugin was still active even though it was not visible, and was increasing my retraction distance every 20 layers.
