DC42 m114, extruder posistion

Hi, quick question,

Working on the rotational position of the extra DOF (attached as extruder).

When sending the M114 command the response I get will be similar to:


M114
X:62.58 Y:0.00 Z:3.54 E0:0.0 E1:0.0 E2:0.0 E3:0.0 E4:0.0 E5:0.0 Count 5006 0 14158 0 0 -830 -270 0 -360
ok


Now I have rotated some of the extruder but their absolute position does not seem to appear here!

is there a way to get the information for the extruders displayed like X Y and Z...

you can only see the counts of the extruders that I have moved!

thanks
dave

hummm... i'm guessing that the count for the extruders is not accumulative like the count for the xyz am I correct?

thanks again

You are right, it's a bug. I will fix it in my next release.

Superb, I will look forward to the next release 1.09n or greater.

I may like to modify some parts of your firmware in the future, but for now I am keeping control purely software based for easy upgrades. If I can release my work, I would be happy for you to integrate this multi DOF as an extra option. Or perhaps I should create another fork!?

Whether I am happy to integrate your changes will depend on on a few things:

1. How extensive your changes are. I would prefer not to have too many #if and #ifdef directives in the code.

2. Whether your changes meet my standards for readability. static checking, and coding style.

In my current (1.09r) release, some of the hardware differences are now controlled by the Pins_duet.h file. You may be able to make some of your changes in there, e.g. to configure the number of axes.
