New problem that I have not been able to troubleshoot. I can start the printer with Repetier, home the printer, and heat the extruder. As soon as I hit print, the temp locks in at it's current temp and the print will not start. If I stop the print, I am still unable to change the temp, and no longer able move the printhead at all, printer becomes totally unresponsive. Repetier still says it is connected to the printer, but there is no communication between the printer and the computer. Only way to 'unfreeze it" is to restart the printer.

Only solution would normally be a reset or power down, which is not very elegant and that was why I hijacked your question to remember Repetier that this can still be solved by letting host do the temperature surveiilance so the Host program can be cancelled at any time by intervenience which is not possible when FW has this control.]]> justcurious Repetier Tue, 06 Oct 2015 02:42:53 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?267,566627,567054#msg-567054 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?267,566627,567054#msg-567054 cjkmiec Repetier Mon, 05 Oct 2015 20:30:49 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?267,566627,567051#msg-567051 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?267,566627,567051#msg-567051 But it would add a huge benefit to Repetier Host :-) as situations like cjkmiec above reported, happens quite often..]]> justcurious Repetier Mon, 05 Oct 2015 20:03:42 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?267,566627,566922#msg-566922 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?267,566627,566922#msg-566922 repetier Repetier Mon, 05 Oct 2015 14:03:55 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?267,566627,566918#msg-566918 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?267,566627,566918#msg-566918 The basic limit for response is display update but some effort could easily be made to change this. my private installation has been trimmed down to some few percent but that may of course vary.]]> justcurious Repetier Mon, 05 Oct 2015 13:51:15 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?267,566627,566783#msg-566783 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?267,566627,566783#msg-566783
I see this would be nice to improve speed of response everywhere, but it is by no means an error but defined behavior.]]> repetier Repetier Mon, 05 Oct 2015 08:48:27 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?267,566627,566660#msg-566660 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?267,566627,566660#msg-566660 If you moved these temperature blocking checks to Host coding it would never be a problem and blocked printing could easily be cancelled.
FW would still be the same and needs no changes for this improvement.
