duet + reprap firmware - macros on sd card can't be read

Firmware: RepRapFirmware-dev_1.09m-dc42
Board: Duet 0.8.5 + Duex 0.2a
Software: Repetier-Host V1.6.0


Hello,

I created my own macro and saved it in the sys folder on the SD-card.

Name of the macro: test1.g

Content of test1.g:
M18 E0 E1 E2 E3 E4 E5 ;disable all extruder motors

When I am trying to execute the macro by sending M98 Ptest1.g to the board, I receive the message " Can't open 0:/sys/0 to read, error code 4
Macro file 0 not found" and nothing happens.

Its the same when I try to execute one of the already exisiting macros like homedelta.g.

Is it not possible to use the M98 command like this?


kind regards!

Macros need to be in a folder called Macros and not the sys folder. HomeDelta.g is not a macro at all it is a predefined system file and has its own dedicated gcode (G28)

Make a folder in the root of the SD Card called Macro and put your macro files inside it and you will then be able to call them with M98.

Hey Doug,

if I put test1.g in the folder macros and send M98 Ptest1.g it doesn't work either. I also tried without ".g" (only M98 Ptest1) like the other example files in the folder... didn't work. Are you able to run macros like this?

I normally run them either from the Web interface or the PanelDUE

Strange, it should work. I just ran "M98 Phomedelta.g" and it worked for me. Is it definitely my pre-built RepRapFirmware-1.09m-dc42.bin file that you flashed?

Okay apparently was RepetierHost the Problem. I tried it with Pronterface (macro file in the sys folder on the sd card) and it worked!
