Web Interface 1.06 -collected data reporting problem

I am using 1.09a-dc42 firmware and Web Interface 1.06. and Simplify3D slicer. The machine has 2 nozzles but I am only using one for these prints. I am printing 5 of these, one after another.

On the print status page, the Print Duration says n/a and the warm-Up Time is reporting the total up time of the machine.
Watching the details from start of print, I noticed that during warm up the print duration and the Warm-Up Time were the same and increased as you would expect to 1min 15sec.
However, When the correct temperatures were reached and the machine started to print, the progress bar went to the end (100%) complete and then went to the start, the Print Duration indicated n/a and the warm up time shows 1hr 14m 51s

confused....or what...

i have a simular problem since i upgraded to 1.09a from dc , the print duration is same for me n/a and the graph always stays at 0s per layer. I downgraded to 1.04f and it worked normaly.

@Darathy,
Thanks for that, this is the same for me I changed from zpl's to dc42's firware and then noticed the problems.
It must be a difference in the firmware versions that is causing this.

Lets hope it's fixed soon, I think dc42 is getting ready for a new release, whether this fix gets incorporated remains to be seen. He is a very busy man.

Paul, can you try reverting to the official 1.09 release and see whether the problem is still present using the same print? I am not aware of any problems in that area, and my 1.09a release uses the same code as 1.09 for the print monitor apart from minor changes due to the interface for getting the extruder positions being different. I have 1.09b almost ready to be released.

Dave, the official 1.09 firmware works correctly.
I have started a print and the Print Duration is increasing as expected and the warm up time is static, showing the actual time from the command to start the print and the actual print start.
Hope that helps, it does seem an issue with your firmware. I will try another print when this one finishes just to make sure the displayed times are reset and correct for the next print.

It could be something connected to the first move when as I said in the original post, the progress bar went to 100% and the Print Duration was set to n/a. It's almost as if the firmware thought the print had completed as far as the collected data was concerned.

edit -- new print started and the Print Duration and Warm up time was reset correctly.

Paul, thanks for testing that. I'll try to reproduce the problem. I see that zpl had just released 1.09 including some changes to the Print Monitor module, so I'll be including those changes in 1.09b as well.

Thank you David,
If you want a pre release tested, let me know.

You can try the binary at [dl.dropboxusercontent.com] if you like. I believe the problem is fixed. However, I notice that the web interface still shows the file as 100% complete for the first half minute or so of execution of a tool change macro file. It appears that when the printer returns status B to the web interface, meaning Busy (because it is executing a macro file), the web interface gives up asking the Duet for file progress information for half a minute or so and instead shows the print as 100% complete. PanelDue still shows the print progress correctly.

Well that seems to work well, thank you

The progress bar only goes to 100% when the head moves from the wait position (rear right of the bed) until the head has moved to the first print position and actual printing starts. The warm up counter stops at the first movement but I think it should continue until the actual print starts at the first print position. This should slso be the way the progress bar works, it should start at the actual print start not the move from the wait position.

What do you think?

It does seem strange that the PanelDue shows the bar correctly, using the same firmware or are you saying that this is a problem with the web interface now?

again thanks for your time and efforts David

I have found one reason why the web interface is still behaving strangely using my firmware fork. Zpl's firmware only returns status Busy when it is executing a macro if there is no file print in progress, whereas mine always returns Busy if a macro is being executed. I guess I'll have to change the behaviour of my firmware to be compatible with DuetWebControl.

Glad you found the reason

again, thanks for your efforts, look forward to the new version.

Works great, thank you for your quick fix.
Sorry it took so long to try but I was in the middle of a 3 hour print when you posted the binary.

Thanks for your feedback! Just a few tests to run on my delta printer before I can release it.
