Hello, i have everything installed and setup. when i run ;
./DuetLapse.py -duet 10.1.2.xxx -camera pi -pause yes -movehead 200 200 -detect layer

it stops, moves the head to the corner then never starts again. any advice would be great, thank you!

this is a duet 2 wifi board on a Ender 5 pro using cura slicer.

./DuetLapse.py -duet 10.1.2.xxx -camera pi -pause yes -movehead 200 200 -detect layer

• Note "-pause yes" means this script will pause the printer when the -detect or
• -seconds flags trigger.
• If instead, it is desired that this script detect pauses that are already in
• in the gcode, specify:
• "-detect pause"

Hi,

first of all big thanks for making this available.
I previously used Octopi and timelabs was always on my wish list since I moved fully to Duet.

My setup runs a duetwifi on release 3 firmware. I have a Raspberry pi running with RPi Cam Control as my web cam and it is linked to the duet wifi web interface (webcam page) via a simple URL (http://192.168.2.95/html/cam_pic_new.php) and working fine.

I installed your script and ensured dependencies are available (python, FFmpeg) and tried to get the script to run but so far without luck. I tried just the script and the IP address of the duet as well as script plus the web URL etc.

When running it I get the following error:

./DuetLapse.py -duet 192.168.2.98                  Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./DuetLapse.py", line 21, in <module>
    import DuetWebAPI as DWA
  File "/home/pi/DuetLapse/DuetWebAPI.py", line 27
    URL=(f'{self._base_url}'+'/rr_status?type=1')
                           ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I assume that something with the communication between the script and the duet board does not work. Is there something that needs to be enabled on the Deut side on top? Or an API key provided in the script etc?

Thanks !

I followed your instructions to install Duetlapse on a clean install of raspiOS Minimal. I installed python3, installed python3-pip and pip installed numpy and compiled mjpg-streamer from source. However, when I launched Deutlapse, it reported that numpy was missing. I checked again and numpy was there. I uninstalled numpy and installed it via apt and it worked. I suggest you update the instructions to reflect this.

I've installed everything needed with no problems.

When I start the script with ./DuetLapse.py -duet 192.168.1.7 -camera pi it appears the following log:
Attempting to connect to printer at 192.168.1.7
http://192.168.1.7 does not appear to be a RRF2 or RRF3 printer
Device at 192.168.1.7 either did not respond or is not a Duet V2 or V3 printer.

My board is an original Duet 2 WiFi with the latest official release of RRF3

Am I doing something wrong?
