Informer and filament runout sensor

MijiMiji
in Repetier-Informer App
Hi, can Repetier Informer send a message when filament runout sensor activates M600 procedure, filament change? So far I was able to recognize start and stop printing, even while printing from SD, but Informer ignores completely filament runout signal or manual filament change and takes no notice if I paused the print from the display (it works OK when paused from Repetier).
Is it possible to wake up Informer by sending something from printer firmware?
Sorry for a silly question, I have no real insight into the communication between Repetier and the printer, hopefuly somebody better informed is listening :-)

I use Repetier and Informer on Windows, printer uses newest (7/2016) Marlin 1.1.0 RC BugFix firmware.

    Firmware can't send anything. Host must do this. With repetier-firmware you could tell host to pause instead of doing internal filament change, then you would get a message.

    Does Marlin send any message to host when filamentchange is required? SHould appear in log. In such a case we could add a listener for that response. If so, please copy and paste the marlin response here so we know what to look for.

    Sorry for delay and many thanks for a quick reaction. Marlin sends a message into host, the same one after both manual and emergency activation of filamentchange. In the hosts log there is a line echo:enqueueing "M600" Would you be able to catch that and send either "pause" or some newly created "filamentchange" message? It would be a big help for me.
  • RepetierRepetier
    Catching the message is no problem. Further handling depends a bit on what marlin would do. From a code part I read yesterday I assume that at least last RC does some internal pause by sending out "busy:" so host/server side pause would be not good. Sending a push message is no problem of course. I guess we could take it as severe error and send it if that is enabled.
  • MijiMiji
    Any kind of error reporting is fine with me. Apart from that, I expect no action done by Host. Thank you!
  • MijiMiji
    When will the new version of software be available? How will I know it's there?
  • RepetierRepetier
    Host should give you a update message.

    When I can not say.
  • MijiMiji
    New version of Host (2.0) is there, but no improvement, still no reaction for M600. I understood the implementation is no problem, am I missing something?
  • RepetierRepetier
    What exactly does marlin send on M600 and filament out? Have no such sensor for testing. Knowing it should allow it to be added in 2.0.1.

    Do you need any additional information? Copy of log or something?
  • RepetierRepetier
    Ok, if that always appears it is good. Have added it for next release.
  • MijiMiji
    Thank you. If you want to test it, the "Filament change" can be issued manually, directly from Marlin's menu, without any sensor (Marlin 1.1.0 RC BugFix).

    Hi, I'm running repetier-server pro 0.85.2
    Would it be possible to get push messages about M600 from this as well? I can't seem to find anything about it anywhere.
    And I can confirm that in console repetier-server can read this whenever my runout sensor is triggered: echo:enqueueing "M600"

  • RepetierRepetier
    Will look at it for next release. Meanwhile you should install our urgent update to 0.86.2.
  • JadonSmithJadonSmith
    Has this been implemented yet?
  • MijiMiji
    If you mean push message from Repetier Host then yes, it issues Fatal error and helped me many times (thanks Repetier guys :-). I don't use Repetier Server.

    I am not getting any push message for a filament out event. I have all events to notify and get them but nothing for a filament out. Is there something I have to do to get these events?
  • MijiMiji
    In Repetier Host, Config - Preferences - Push Messages, select Fatal Errors. Do you see
    echo:enqueueing “M600”
    in log part of repetier window? Other push messages are issued normally?
  • RepetierRepetier
    Ok, just rechecked for repetier firmware and there was an error in detection string. So for repetier-firmware it should work with next update.
  • JadonSmithJadonSmith
    I can see the M600 in the logs but nothing happens for me.
    I am using Repetier Server on a Raspbery Pi.
  • JadonSmithJadonSmith
    Can someone from Repetier confirm that this is supposed to work on the Pi version of Repetier Server?
  • RepetierRepetier
    No, server will not do anything on that response for now. Need to add it for next release.
  • JadonSmithJadonSmith
    Ok Thanks that would be great if it does make it into the next release. Sometimes these filament sensors are not too good and trigger a filament out alert when there is none and then the printer sits there for hours over night maintaining temperature but doing nothing just waiting for you. :(
  • AndrewDiehlAndrewDiehl
    I would also like to see this implemented. 
  • RepetierRepetier
    It is already implemented, but unfortunately the regular expression in Marlin.xml in firmwares was wrong. Should be

    <response type="outOfFilament">[eE]cho:enqueueing &quot;M600&quot;</response>

will be fixed in next release or you chang eit yourself manually and restart.

    Thank you!
