Its...the same?

need to switch to the unstable packge list.

edit:

#comment out stable list
sudo sed -i '/ stable/s/^/#/g' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/duet3d.list
#add unstable list
echo "deb https://pkg.duet3d.com/ unstable armv7" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/duet3d-unstable.list

Danal

Yep, or regress the firmware on bossa. I believe forward is better, I'm going to give him instructions for that.

Demi

You guys are awesome. Im a babe in the woods over here, and thank you Danal for anticipating that I didnt know how to switch to the unstable package list. Lol. I sure didnt.
Trying it now.

Danal

Yeah, you probably found it on the Wiki, here is a cut paste, you can just run these exactly as shown:

wget -q https://pkg.duet3d.com/duet3d.gpg
wget -q https://pkg.duet3d.com/duet3d-unstable.list
sudo mv duet3d.gpg /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/
sudo mv duet3d-unstable.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/duet3d-unstable.list
sudo chown root:root /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/duet3d.gpg
sudo chown root:root /etc/apt/sources.list.d/duet3d-unstable.list

AFTER those run, one more time:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade duetsoftwareframework

Danal

Once all that finishes, Duet Web should suddenly work.

A reset should not be required... but... if things still won't connect, first action is power cycle. That sequence above is pretty solid.

Demi

Oh, whoops. I may have jumped the gun. I ran with Bearers instructions, followed with an update/upgrade. Now returning:

pi@duet3:~ $ sudo apt list duetcontrolserver -a

Our instructions looked different but did the same things. Your status looks GOOD

almost; but chrishammn never confirmed or denied if stable and unstable list should co-exist after not too long ago asking someone to remove the stable list.

Danal

Once everything is back up, just for fun, try this from the Pi ssh session

echo "m115" | sudo /opt/dsf/bin/CodeConsole

Mine returns:

FIRMWARE_NAME: RepRapFirmware for Duet 3 MB6HC FIRMWARE_VERSION: 3.01-RC7 ELECTRONICS: Duet 3 MB6HC v0.6 or 1.0 FIRMWARE
_DATE: 2020-04-14b3

and the fact that it returns anything indicates the Pi and the Duet are connected.

Ah, very interesting. Should we update the documentation in the "getting started"?

i re-read it after his comment, and i guess it could be interpreted as either or, and the rest of us missed that. (but i suspect english is not the native language for me nor the author of the text so ymmw). however adding the key in both scenarios would indicate one or the other. if the text were to be changed replacing all the key stuff with wget -qO - https://pkg.duet3d.com/duet3d.gpg | sudo apt-key add - would probably be worth while as well.

clarifying if it is an issue and making the instructions clearer would probably be a good thing in any case.

I joke, and I repeat JOKE, that I am not a native English speaker.

I was born in a small town in TX, and the grain of truth behind that joke is that I really did take some tutoring at a point long after college, in my mid-career, so that I could speak accent-less, grammatically correct, English when I need to in business situations. It did seem to unlock some advancement that was lagging a bit.

But what REALLY cured my TX accent, and made me sound neutral american, was living in the Greater London Area (New Barnet) for about a year.

Demi

It works!!! Good LORD. Im sure glad you were all here to help me, I would have never gotten there but I still have the ethernet issue.

So, I pull the card out of the Pi. Put it in the Duet3, plug in the ethernet. It doesnt join the network. I plug in USB and connect via Pronterface.

Connecting...

Ethernet disconnected seems like the key entry here.
Send:

M552 S1

And BAM, everything works! If I restart I have to reconnected and do it all over again to get ethernet (stand alone) working. I tried putting the M552 S1 in config.g but it doesnt enable ethernet.

Danal

If you run with the card in the Duet, you will need the ether plugged into the duet, and the enable command.

I'd actually run with the card in the Pi, and the ethernet physically plugged into the Pi. That should just "come up and work". Default is DHCP, there are tons of Pi tutorials around on how to make it static, if you wish. EDIT: Also, if you want unique hostnames for the printers, change it on the Pi. Again, lots of Pi examples out there.

And/or, you could forgo the ether completely, and run WiFi on the Pi. This is a Pi only option (the board does not have wifi). In your environment, I'm sort of thinking you will stick to ether.

Danal

And CONGRATULATIONS and WOO HOO!!

By the way, you should never have to bossa or change feeds or anything again. From this point forward, it really is the two 'apt' commands.

Yep thats exactly what I have setup. Card in the Duet, Duet hooked to ethernet, M552 S1 as the first line in config.g. Does not reconnect after restart. I think I might be leading us down an "XY problem here".

The whole reason for all of this is that M401 and any probe related macros dont work when I am connected through the pi. If I run the macros with M98, they work fine. If i run the commands that are in deployprobe.g, it works like a champ. IF on the other hand, I am in stand alone mode, then the M401 and G30 codes all work correctly. They just dont through the pi. Now thats not a big deal, if I can run in standalone mode, but as of now I cant, because it defaults to disabling the ethernet, and adding it to config.g doesnt seem to do anything.

Guys, I really am sorry this is such a pain, and I cant thank you enough for all the help.

Demi

WAIT I think I understand what you are trying so desperately to get through my thick head. Just enable ethernet through SSH like you would with any other pi. Standby as I try to be less mentally compromised and give that a go.

I think you will find that all cleaned up on this release. I run all that stuff on a D3+Pi toolchanger that is passing 10,000 toolchanges at the moment (I track for wear) each of which has to do what you are describing several times.

With one caveat: Check your macros after you switch back to the Pi... even though it is the same physical SD, stand-alone and Pi have separate places they store /sys, /macros, /gcode, etc, etc.

Demi

Good lord. Okay so just to try to get up and running in stand alone, I am flashing a new SD with the Duetpi-lite.zip from:
https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Getting_Started_With_Duet_3#Section_DuetPi

Putting it right in the board and seeing if I can run stand alone with ethernet.

That image is still primarily for using the Duet3 with the Pi. To use wihtout the Pi you can use the same card but have to make sure to put config and duetwebcontrol files on the first FAT32 partition* (or simpler reformat the card so there is but one fat32 partition and put the files on there)

*) when the pi is running this is /boot
