The Nodes

Nodes

NodeDSF has 4 main dsfnodes:

• DSF-Monitor - Connects to and processes the data from DSF.
• DSF-Event - Watches for changes to user defined objects in the data from DSF and triggers events.
• DSF-Intercept - Watches DSF for special commands embedded within g-code.
• DSF-Command - Sends a g or m code command to DSF.

DSF-Connector

Dsfnode also has a config node which is used to store the IP address of the DSF server and set the mode of operation. The three parameters are:

• Duet/DSF IP. Change this to the IP address of the Duet Board or SBC running DSF. If you have installed Node-Red on the same SBC as DSF you may use localhost.
• Type. Select Duet or DSF depending on the type of system you are connecting to.
• Poll Rate (ms). Polling information update frequency for Duet mode.
• Password. Plain Text password - Leave blank for default password of 'reprap'. (Duet Passwords are not secure and are set with the M551 command)

New Duet Mode (v1.1)

A new experimental mode which enables direct connection to a v2/3 Duet (or compatible) control board with a direct network connection. Select Duet or DSF depending on the type of system you are connecting to. For Duet mode You can also set a Poll Rate in ms to control how often the monitor node requests an information update from the Duet board (only applies in Duet mode).

This mode currently delivers a subset of the full machine model to reduce load on the control boards. If there is data you require that is missing please raise an issue and I will see if it can be added.
