Duet 3 Mainboard 6HC - initial production run.
-
@tlas I've got my 24V supply in series with a mains relay hooked up to a unused GPIO pin on the Pi, so the Pi can turn on/off the Duet 3. One day I'll throw together a systemd script to handle it with dependencies to DuetSoftwareFramework.
(Both the 24V and USB supply are also hooked up to a Wifi controlled socket so both can turned completely off from HomeAssistant:)
-
My Duet 3 order have status = Completed
Does completed indicate that it has been shipped?
There is no tracking info
-
@mundsen nope, shipping will start soon (this week!) The shop software is a bit poor for pre-orders
-
@T3P3Tony so the first Duet 3 are fine ? Exited
-
Tony Can you say if a connector kit will be included and also a cable for the SBC or do we need to source our own beforehand? if we do can you list what we need to obtain.

@Dougal1957 Connectors and a 26way to 40 way cable for the SBC (compatible with a Raspberry Pi 3 & 4) will be provided.
Also a SD card with the default image with DuetSoftwareFramework etc installed on it.

Cheers for that

Kind of curious why the Duet stayed with the 40 pin connector instead of matching the 26? Was this to enable backwards functionality if used without a SBC? Enable custom expansion? Just too many 40 pin connects on hand? -

I think you'll find its the other way around, the connector was reduced from 40 to 26 presumably to save board space.
(iircc the old duet 2 expansion is 50 pin(?), the new only needs 5 signals + ground and potentially 5v if so configured. however earlier raspberry boards aslo use a 26 pin connector, could be related) -
yep the Duet has the 26 and the pi is 40
-
Aug 10th were some comments in this thread about to use other cables if necessary.
-
@T3P3Tony Can we still use the link in the first post to order even though there might not be any available from the first run?
-
@gtj0 now just yet. I want to be able to say when the next batc will be available first
-
Tony is there any chance any more from this first batch will become available I know at least one guy who is desperate to jump on the band waggon. I seem to remember you saying you had kept some back to allow for failures during testing

I suppose there is no way to be notified when some stock is available? I have cash in hand for a D3 Mainboard, but missed the pre-order. I don't want to miss the chance to purchase on because I didn't check the website at the right time. So Doug told me to post a comment here as well.
Looking forward to this!

@Dougal1957 I expect we will do, will announce more next week.

Thanks I will point him to this.

Tell him to get to the back of the line.

It's a little hard to tell from the renderings and pics but can someone confirm that the 26 pin connector polarity notch faces in towards the MPU?
