    Hi

    I am trying to run the Duet 3 6HC as standalone like my other Duet2Wifi types, but it seems I have no luck...
    I have searched the forum and doku, but couldn't find a bit...or maybe I am to confused...

    Is there any SD Card Package somewhere to be used as a starting point?

      @Hornetrider To the best of my knowledge, Duet 3 does not have a WiFi module - only Ethernet. So stand alone only works as a wired connection and for WiFi, you need to use the RPi (I think).

        The Duet3 should, according to documentation at least, start up in stand alone mode if there is a /sys/config.g on the sd card installed on the Duet3 board.

        You could use the same SD card as was supplied for the Raspberry Pi, but you may have to reformat/re-partition it and add the /sys/config.g file like you would the Duet2Wifi. (There is a chance you can add the config file to card prepared for the Pi on the one FAT partition that is used for /boot in linux, but I've not been able to test that).

            tried that already with the formated SD card and the folder structure...but no success

            Btw. does the Paneldue directly connect or there is something to be considered besides the wiring to IO_0?

              There is no additional configuration necessary.

                    Just for future refrence you can use the something like M575 P1to see if the serial port is configured.

                      Fair enough but in your OP you said "..............standalone like my other Duet2Wifi types". Hence my assumption that you wanted to use WiFi.

                        I got it running after creating all the folders and integrating the latest DWC into the WWW folder.

                        But now I am struggling to update the FW...having Checksum errors when using "Duet3Firmware_MB6HC.bin" for update from DC42 github ressource.
                        Is this the right bin file?

                        Sorry for all this questions...

                          Yes, this is the correct file. Depending on which version of firmware currently is running on the board there will still be some bugs with uploading data over the internal ethernet interface. In that case it's best to copy the firmware binary directly on the SD card from your PC. Then you can flash it by issuing M997. After that uploads should be a lot more reliable and work via web interface from there on.

                            Yes that's the right file. Please use the one from the 3.0RC2 release. Earlier beta releases frequently gave CRC errors during file uploads.

                                @Hornetrider Get the iap file from github and put it in sys. Then re-try the upload (or m997)

                                    had to rename the iap fie from github...but I am not sure if that worked as:

                                        @Danal That's expansion board firmware which is different. Main board is

                                          You should have the IAP and the regular firmware file from this link:

                                          https://github.com/dc42/RepRapFirmware/releases/tag/3.0RC2

                                          And you should not have to rename them. You may want to put it in /sys on the SD card directly in a PC (not web)
