Duet 3 hc6 firmware '''issues''

droftarts

@Torppa can you update the firmware? You’re on a beta version. Either 3.0, or the latest 3.01-RC6 will be fine.

Probably could, how ever the printter sits in one place and weighs around 47kg, i dont have a reliable laptop and the printter is build so the aces to the duet is under it in a metal enclosure.

I would avoid mooving it around since ill most likely drop it sooner or later.

?

if you can access the SD card and YAT, put the firmware file on the sd card and upgrade using YAT. (or if DWC is stable with the dynamic address, just upload the firmware and let it do the upgrade).

Kinda difficult to say what to do when information isn't forthcomming.

A Former User

Ill try updating via DWC, i hope it works since this is starting to feel like a job and i dont need a second one.

Thanks for the help.

A Former User

Witch one of these i need to update?

A Former User

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

Duet3Firmware_MB6HC.bin

and these for good measure

Duet3_SDiap_MB6HC.bin
DuetWebControl-SD-2.04.zip

put the files in the /sys folder if transfered using the sd card, if uploading to dwc it will put it in the right place when you upload and ask you to update.

if using YAT then you need to run M997 S0:2 after having placed the files on the sd card

A Former User

(but I'm a little concerned what happens if the SD card glitches during the update. recovery should be possible with bossa but more hassle.)

@bearer

Sounds fun! cant wait for this to happen, if so how far do you bet an average guy could throw the thing lets not take wind into consideration.

droftarts

@Torppa what version of DWC are you using? If 1.22.6 I wonder if there’s an issue using the old version with RRF3 and Duet 3.

I'd put the files on the sd card, disconnect the network, put the sd card back before powering up the board again and issue the M997 command on the terminal.

should reduce the odds of anything going a miss, and if it does you can follow these instructions for recovery https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Getting_Started_With_Duet_3#Section_Updating_Duet_3_main_board_firmware

@droftarts

Its 2.0.4

A Former User

And its broken now, no lights no nothing. dont care anymore worst purchase so far trying to be civil so no anger, its hard... wasted basicly 260eur... POS is going to the land fill probably... well atleast my home insurance covers it so i dont haveto fight duet3d over it.

A Former User

Sigh, I can understand the frustration; but unless the board was damaged the update shouldn't render it unrecoverable.

And the update would only have affected one LED, the two indicating 5v and 3.3v are hardwired to the power rails - if they don't work something other than an failed update occured.

If you find the will to keep at it; high resolution picture if the board would be helpfull in determining the cause.

A Former User

Got it to ''work'' again how ever Z and Y axis are reversed, the weird part is that DWC has no trouble homing only when manuly G1 Y34 F3000 Its the Z axis that mooves. The is something weird going on.

A Former User

I guess that implies it was never broken.

Maybe its time to sit down and do some reading.

droftarts

@Torppa Post your config.g and home all.g.

Check you have connected the Y and Z motors to the correct driver as per your M584 command, the physical order of the drivers on the board isn’t necessarily what you expect; it’s
0 1 2
5 4 3

So driver 3 is behind driver 2, not behind driver 0.

See the wiring diagram here: https://d17kynu4zpq5hy.cloudfront.net/igi/duet3d/TF1FBCbopEsxvYAv.huge

The fans are cooling the steppers, aiming to print mostly nylon ans ASA, duet has a fan 240v for cooling. dont knoiw if this is abit mad for my first 3d printter

M584 X0.1 Y0.0 Z0.2 E0.3 ; set drive mapping

So motor wires are connected like this?

Y0 X1 Z2

I've just been playing around with the networking on a standalone Duet 3. This in my config.g works for me to set a static IP address:

; Network
M552 P192.168.0.28 S1                        ; enable network and set IP address
M553 P255.255.255.0                          ; set netmask
M554 P192.168.0.1                            ; set gateway
M586 P0 S1                                   ; enable HTTP
M586 P1 S0                                   ; disable FTP
M586 P2 S0                                   ; disable Telnet

I can connect to the DWC, edit the IP address and reset, and the IP address will move to the new IP address.

I can also connect when starting up without an SD card inserted. Start up, connect via USB with Serial terminal (in this case Pronterface, as I'm on a Mac):

I can ping all the addresses I set, even when running with no SD card. I did make sure to send the subnet mask and gateway before the static IP address and enabling the network, though. This is with firmware 3.01-RC4.

So I can't replicate the problem you are seeing.

With you motor currents set like this:
M906 X2600 Y2600 Z2600 E1197
The Duet 3 should barely be getting warm, even without a fan. But then depends how close to other hot things it is, how confined the enclosure is, what the ambient temperature is. It's difficult to over-cool something!
