Octoprint not pausing the print when running out #7

Closed dutchcolonial closed 3 years ago

dutchcolonial commented 3 years ago

Hi, I hope it is okay that I post here, since I wasn't sure where else to post. I have installed the BTT Smart Runout sensor on GPIO pin 24 and when running your test script, I see motion detected when I pull some filament through the sensor. I configured the plugin and made sure the sensor is enable. I then started a print and had the test script running on the command prompt, just to monitor. A little bit into the print I cut the filament and waited. The filament runs through the sensor and the test script does at that point only show "No motion detected". However, Octoprint never halts the print. I have attached a screenshot of the settings and the captured output of the monitoring script. I have also attached a screenshot of the start GCODE I use.

Yes, it is totally fine asking here :) That the test script is detecting, that no movement is detected anymore is good. Distance detection is working a little different than the test script. In logs octoprint.log I assume you can see that the sensor stopped detection. Did you add M600 command to the pause commands of Octoprint as described in the instructions?

I have the following code (in OctoPrint) for "After the print is paused", but I don't think it ever gets called. I had not added the M600 command, since I thought Octoprint would pause the print and then I decide what to do. The M600 command is a firmware command, right and would require me to use the LCD screen? So I should not use the below code anymore (I used it for a standard filament runout detector) and just replace it with M600? And exactly where do I insert M600 in OctoPrint? Should I enter it on the Firmware & protocol tab of the Serial Connection settings, in Pausing commands? Should I remove M0, M1, M25?

{% if pause_position.x is not none %} ; relative XYZE G91 M83 ; Lower extruder temp M104 180

; retract filament, move Z slightly upwards G1 Z+5 E-5 F4500

; absolute XYZE M82 G90

; move to a safe rest position (use X0 and Y0 depending on your printer) G1 X220 Y220 {% endif %}

You just need to add the command in Octopi -> settings -> serial connection -> firmware and protocol -> pause commands.

I am going to add more pause commands on the weekend, since M600 is causing endless loops with some LCD screens as I was informed

Okay, currently the defaults seem to be M0, M1, M25. I think M0 and M1 would work for me and allow for putting GCODE in the "after pause" section of the octoprint GCODE section.
