Firmware 2.04RC1 available

[blt3dp]

I don't have an expansion board, just the plain Duet Ethernet board.

Which version of DWC do you use? If you were using an old one, that might explain the connection issues.

[blt3dp]

I'm running 1.22.6

[garyd9]

At this point, can this version of the firmware considered stable?

[T3P3Tony]

@garyd9 2.03

[dc42]

2.04RC1 is stable, however there are a couple of 2.03 bug reports that I want to investigate before I do the 2.04 release. Unfortunately there is a tight deadline to meet for the Duet 3 firmware development, so it may be a while before I get back to 2.04.

Oh, I completely understand about deadlines and RRF/Duet3. (In fact, I'd be on the duet3 first-run list if I wasn't extremely tight on money these days.)

I really just needed to confirm that this RC is (at the moment) the best stable choice for a delta printer.

Thank you

@garyd9 I have been using this 2.04RC1 version on my delta since it came out with no issue's at all, go for it!.

[jay_s_uk]

Same here. I use it on both my deltas

[garyd9]

Thanks - it seems to be working fine for me (so far*.)

* Typically, if I say something is working, it breaks immediately afterwards. Hopefully, by qualifying the statement with "so far", things will stay working.

I had definite problems with it, I’m totally willing to re-upgrade. If DWC stops being able to connect to the firmware again, can I still run M122 in a terminal connected via usb?

Those with Deltas that haven’t any problems with it, what DWC are you running?

[jay_s_uk]

DWC 2.0.0-RC7

I just re-updated to 2.04RC1 and this time I updated to DWC 2.0.0-RC7, seems like I'm not having the issue with the higher than normal first layer this time. Wierd, autocalibration calibrated to the deviation I expected, but it seems to be normal now.

Seems fine like last time but we'll see after I power it off and back on in a couple of days.
