Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

Sent this to the company but figured I would also ask here:

1. the allen-head screws that the extruders hang from, are those supposed to be tight? couple of them seem to "slip" when i try to tighten them in toward the bracket centers

2. is there any way to "continue" a command on the screen? I'm trying to input my M587 without having to drag out a computer that has a terminal program on it, but the ssid and password together are longer than the duet's onscreen textbox can handle, and it doesn't scroll over to accept more characters.

Thanks!!

I'm not sure about #1, but with #2, are you sure that it's no longer accepting characters as opposed to just not side-scrolling?

Company says #1 is normal, the mounting of the extruders is supposed to be just hooked on and not bolted in.

For #2, I guess I don't KNOW for a fact if it is or isn't accepting characters, but the text area does not show any new characters as of about 1/2" from the right edge of the screen, making me feel like the string is too long. My SSID is 17 characters long and my password is 16, so the command M587 S"12345678901234567" P"1234567890123456" is a total of 45 characters. Is that longer than the panel will ACCEPT? or just DISPLAY?
Pretty sure it didn't work when I kept typing after the display stopped, but will try again to be sure.

OK I went ahead and put YAT on my current computer and set up the wifi over USB that way, like I did with my Rmax.

I guess this thread can be closed, but I am still curious why the M587 onscreen did not accept as many characters as the text input can otherwise accept (I got all the way to the end of the input line with 111111111111...... just as a test, so, it's odd for sure)

You'd have to ask the Duet3D guys about that.

I suspect it's because horizontal scrolling in input boxes has not been implemented.

...and thus spake dc42!
