RepRapFirmware 3.0beta12 now available

[dc42]

I've just released this at https://github.com/dc42/RepRapFirmware/releases/tag/3.0beta12. The release notes are there too.

[Rudy2A]

Silly question ... RepRapFirmware 3 is only for Duet 3, where he can turn on Duet 2.

[pipersw]

It's work on duet 2

[denke]

M143 was not (officially) supported in beta 11 (according to the changelog and the upgrade guide)

Beta 12 does not specify this limitiation, but does not list the addition of support in the changelog either.

So my question is, does beta 12 support M143?

[Danal]

Installed on Duet3 Hardware. Homing looks much better.

Is there an update for Duet 3 expansion boards?

[peirof]

What are the changes for users of duet 2 firmware 2.04?

If you mean "what do I have to change to upgrade"...

about to place an order for a duet 3 mainboard for a cnc build and just would like to clarify that the configuration may have a tab for cnc? i feel this is a very worthy tool for the machine and it would unlock many more options for expand ability in the future for maybe tool changing or laser /plasma cutting.... or even 5-6 axis machining

There has been no change regarding M143 in the source code since beta 11.

@dc42 Is there a roadmap anywhere? I'm just curious as to what the development plan is, what's being worked on and what might possibly be coming down the line. Not expecting any timescales obviously, I'm just intrigued by the whole process.

[dc42]

M143 is implemented but not tested yet - and in my book, untested code is broken code.

The priorities for RRF3 development are:

• Complete the support for expansion boards on Duet 3
• Conditional GCode and object model
• Add a few missing features

[littlehobbyshop]

Conditional GCode sounds amazing and incredibly powerful, look forward to that one. Thanks for the update.

[steevebecker]

@dc42 Thanks for this rough roadmap.
could you tell us what is the plan for 3HC expansion board ?
Because Can-FD is promissing if all features are working on 3HC (Z probe / servo / Thermocouple ...)

Conditionnal Gcode sounds great too, even I prefer to have features working first

[dc42]

The following items connected to expansion boards work in beta 12:

• Stepper motors, temperature sensors (inc. thermocouple and PT100 but not DHT), heaters (but not heater protections, and not heaters controlled by sensors on a different board), fans (including tacho readings, but excluding fans thermostatically controlled by sensors on a different board).

In the current committed source code, endstop switches are also working; but I need to add a safety feature before I release that.

The following are either not implemented on expansion boards or implementation is in progress, and therefore not working yet:

• GPIO output (M42), servo output (M280), trigger inputs, stall detection endstops, Z probes, reporting of stepper driver errors and warnings, additional diagnostics inc. crash reports.

Assuming no component shortages, I estimate that first deliveries to the 3HC to customers will be 5 to 6 weeks from next Monday. So we may just miss delivery before Christmas, in which case deliveries won't start until after New Year. We'll have a better idea next week and we may open a pre-order.

[steevebecker]

@dc42 thanks for this detailed answer, End of the year sounds Great ! I will that closed to a Christmas Beer

[dc42]

Endstops are now working on expansion boards, using the main+expansion firmware builds at https://www.dropbox.com/sh/3azy1njy3ayjsbp/AACquxr2m00eV568RZg5QG5wa?dl=0.

I still miss a fix for the tool changer scripts, that the Z axis is not moving while tool changing. Also happens on 2.xx

Bug in 2.03, 2.04RC1 and latest 3.0 beta: https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/11343/new-reprapfirmware-3-0-early-beta/30

Its already on the bug list. but its a bit hidden. You may have fogotten

I copied the conversation in this thread:

[dc42]

Thanks, I'll put further responses i that thread.
