      I don't know how to run that arp command; here's what I get:

      my bad, instructions uncear. that would be a windows command, as we'd want to clear the arp cache on the host running wireshark. (but its moot point, no doubt about which host the pi is, and seems to be no firewall issue)

      Journal command still reports unavailable Duet

      thats a problem between the pi and the Duet over the spi bus. can you do ls -l /dev/spi* on the pi?

      A friend of mine will let me borrow his Pi 4 tomorrow to narrow down whether the issue comes from the duet or the pi

      i might be paranoid, but i'd get Peter Griffins volcano insurance just in case.

      I'll have a (closer) look at the wireshark log a bit later, but when DCS reports the Duet is unavailable then thats where the problem is.

        thanks for clarifying; I can try the arp command again if that capture doesn't work

        Sure here's what I get; I did remember very clearly enabling SPI during the setup process

        pi@duet3:~ $ ls -l /dev/spi*
        crw-rw---- 1 root spi 153, 0 Apr 12 15:45 /dev/spidev0.0
        crw-rw---- 1 root spi 153, 1 Apr 12 15:45 /dev/spidev0.1
        

        i might be paranoid, but i'd get Peter Griffins volcano insurance just in case.

        Lol what do you mean?

        And thank you again for all the support; looking forward to hear what you see in that capture

        Cheers

          No need, and capture looks about as expected, computer connects to Pi they switch to websockets and everyone is happy as far as I can tell.

          Problem likely lies in that DuetWebControl which runs on the pi and cannot connect to DuetControlServer because its cannot find the Duet on the SPI bus and doesn't start.

          You're not using the image from here? https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/SBC_Setup_for_Duet_3 (it should have SPI and other stuff ready to go)

          In any case I don't think I can pinpoint problems any further than its beetween DCS and the Duet3 board. Maybe dropping the SPI speed could be worth a try, if no one beats me to it I'll see if I can't post some instructions later.

            Seems to be the same as the one linked in the "get started" guide, so I'd say yes

            I have no clue how to do the spi speed thing so I'll be on the lookup; thanks

              neither did I.. 😁

              and a few quick searches didn't bear fruits, however https://forum.duet3d.com/post/109561

              the config.json file would be /opt/dsf/conf/config.json

                Oh, do make a note of what the speed was before reducing it.

                grep "SpiFrequency" /opt/dsf/conf/config.json
                sed -i 's/^  "SpiFrequency": [0-9]*,/  "SpiFrequency": '500000',/' /opt/dsf/conf/config.json
                grep "SpiFrequency" /opt/dsf/conf/config.json
                

                should give you

                pi@duet3:~ $ grep "SpiFrequency" /opt/dsf/conf/config.json
                  "SpiFrequency": 8000000,
                pi@duet3:~ $ sed -i 's/^  "SpiFrequency": [0-9]*,/  "SpiFrequency": '500000',/' /opt/dsf/conf/config.json
                pi@duet3:~ $ grep "SpiFrequency" /opt/dsf/conf/config.json
                  "SpiFrequency": 500000,
                pi@duet3:~ $
                

                showing it changed from 8mhz to 500khz - if it works try increasing it until it stops working and back off say 1mhz.

                if not, verify the board still does respond to M122 on the serial terminal, no sd card in the duet (should be clear from M122 output as well) and call in the cavalry.

                  @bearer Hi,

                  Ok so today I tried on another RPi 4. Had to power the Duet back on VIN to supply enough juice for both the Duet and Pi, but still no luck. Even on the HDMI screen, shows DCS unavailable.

                  Spi Freq was:

                  pi@duet3:~ $ grep "SpiFrequency" /opt/dsf/conf/config.json
                    "SpiFrequency": 2000000,
                  

                  Changed it to 500kHz

                  Still no luck.

                  Here's the M122 result.

                  Something must be wrong with the board; it worked fine until I first powered it through VIN; I never shorted it either the fuses are mint.

                      We hope to have new RRF 3.01RC7+DSF+DWC released later today, so probably best to wait for those.

                        Changed it to 500kHz

                        I think mine was 8mhz, in any case when the update is published, be it to the stable or unstable list you'll get a prompt similar to, simplest approach would be to install the package maintainer's version and when that still doesn't work maybe try lowering the rate again (this way you find the new default without dealing with diffs and merging)

                        Configuration file '/opt/dsf/conf/config.json'
                         ==> Modified (by you or by a script) since installation.
                         ==> Package distributor has shipped an updated version.
                           What would you like to do about it ?  Your options are:
                            Y or I  : install the package maintainer's version
                            N or O  : keep your currently-installed version
                              D     : show the differences between the versions
                              Z     : start a shell to examine the situation
                         The default action is to keep your current version.
                        *** config.json (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ?

                          But shouldn't it work anyway on the stable release? RRF 3.0 is known to be working fine on raspberry Pi isn't it?

                            @fractalengineer Yes it should but in any case that will require a working SPI link between the Duet 3 and your SBC. From the RRF diagnostics I can see that this is not the case.

                            To be sure: You must not have a SD card in the Duet 3 to use the SBC interface. Are you sure there is none in the Duet?

                              thats why I asked him to add the M122 output that shows no sd card.

                                No SD card in the duet 100%; only have one so it’s in the pi

                                  anyways, update is live on the unstable package feed; so switch to that and update - fingers crossed

                                    I rather suspect that you have a broken cable or a misconfigured SPI device - you should be seeing at least a few transfers from DSF in the RRF diagnostics. I'll get back to this.

                                    Are you using DuetPi or the stock Raspbian image?

                                      The output does indeed look identical to a (correctly configured) Pi without a Duet3 attached. (And yeah, DuetPi image confirmed)

                                        @fractalengineer, we suspect a problem with either the Duet or the ribbon cable. However we would like you to try with the latest firmware first. @chrishamm is building a new firmware image, and will post to this thread when it is ready.

                                          Got it; will try the image, thanks to you both for your answer.

                                          I will check continuity on the ribbon in the meantime
                                          Edit: All strands of the ribbon show continuity from one side to the other (tested by probing the sockets pins on the pi and duet)

                                            measuring could provide enough pressure on pins to make a connection if poorly terminated connector, but still probaly a worth while test given shipping delays everywhere i suppose.

                                            if you have some supplies you can roll your own; i wanted other stuff in there on the pi, but still a single connector on the Duet3 and the power grouped so mine is a little untraditional perhaps. Still 5 signals + 4 power is all you really need, 1:1 straight connection.
