I’m getting the error 'Unable to parse move ‘G1 Z’. Also notice the print head steams off to back right position when no instructions was given to perform this action. I only try to extrude (load filament). Could this be the USB connection I have from the EBB42?

Hard to say without more info, but it seems that the invalid gcode command comes from your M600 macro:

[gcode_macro M600]
description = Change Filament
variable_parameter_x = 0
variable_parameter_y = 0
variable_parameter_z = 20
gcode = 
	SAVE_GCODE_STATE NAME=M600_state
	PAUSE
	G91
	G1 E-.8 F2700
	G1 Z{z}
	G90
	G1 X{x} Y{y} F3000
	G91
	G1 E-50 F1000
	RESTORE_GCODE_STATE NAME=M600_state

The issue is that variable_parameter_z define a gcode state variable named parameter_z, not z. Because z is undefined, G1 Z{z} is rendered as G1 Z which is invalid gcode.

I have no idea why these variable_parameters spread on github, this was never a thing. There once was a default_parameter_* (which is now deprecated and removed) where default_parameter_z defined a default value for the parameter z.

variable_ has a different purpose: it define a variable whose value can be modified with SET_GCODE_VARIABLE. If you only need a fix default parameter, delete these variable_ lines and use the G1 Z{ params.Z|default(20) } syntax.

For your issue of spurious moves, they cannot originate from connection problems, it is most likely a configuration issue.

Thanks, I’ll have to double check all my macros now I know I bit more

Hello,

I have same problem.

Tried overwriting G1 Z{Z} to G1 Z{ params.Z|default(20) } gone unable-to-parse-move-g1-z but head goes back waits and moves to x0 y0 and stops. Resume required.

Hello @BezdaM !

Can’t find that in the log…

Unable to parse move 'G1 Z'

Obviously. Z needs a parameter.

I found that here:

[gcode_macro PARK_MACRO]
gcode = 
	M117 PARKING..
	G91
	G1 E-3.14 F1500
	G1 Z{Z}
	G90
	G1 X{0} Y{0} F3000
	G91
	G1 E-50 F1000

And there is no value for ‘Z’

And there also is your move to X0 Y0

BTW: Did your wrote all the 1000+ lines of config on your own?
