PanelDue on the Duet3 Board

@dc42 ok thanks this was my guess.
If a SBC is connected then you will have limited functionality on the PanelDue.
TobiasI've been using mine for about a day now, and everything seems to work EXCEPT anything that would involve a file on the SD. So no print jobs and no macros.
The better alternative if using Duet3+Pi may be a screen/keyboard/mouse on the Pi. Or, even better, a touchscreen that emulates all three. These seem to be widely available... need to pick one!

I got this one which works well but do need to find a virtual Keyboard for the Pi
-
I'm going to give this one a try, will know something in a few days:

I've seen some posts here about different virtual keyboard packages for Pi, can't find the post right now.

@Danal have the same one.

@tobias_munich Excellent!
Have you found a good virtual keyboard?
-
@Danal
mostly I use florence.
bad haven't installed it yet -
@Danal that's the same one I have!!

How is this achieved, is a Raspberry Pi required to obtain this UI?
TIA

All Duet have this UI, its called DuetWebControl and you only need a web browser (phone, tablet, raspberry pi, desktop or laptop doesn't matter). You don't need a Raspberry Pi to host it, but it is an option for the Duet 3, and the future Duet 2 boards will also support Raspberry Pi

@bearer fully understand.....I guess I was not clear. The above picture of the PanelDue interface is far superior than I currently see
How do we get that specific view on the PanelDue

@dc42 Does the PanelDue still work if the D3 is run via a SBC? not that I plan on doing it as I have found a good but cheap 7" Hdmi touch screen for the pi4 but it would be good to know.
Yes. This is exactly how I’m running it at the moment. The information above are all the things I followed to get it to work.

@Nuramori On a Duet3 or a Duet2 Wifi/Ethernet?

@Kiwi3D I have used it on both, but at the moment it’s on my duet3 with a pi4

its not a PanelDue; its a hdmi screen showing a web browser showing DuetWebControl.

@Nuramori So it WILL run on a Duet 2 Wifi Running RRF?
Sorry, but I am getting mixed messages
Cheers

Technically yes, if you have a raspberry pi with a touch screen you could use the web browser to connect to the Duet wifi web interface just like you would from any other tablet, phone, laptop, etc.
The duet 3 uses the pi in a more integrated fashion, but it's still a raspberry pi and you can use the same browser and hdmi touch screen to interact with the web interface.

i think you just need to differentiate between the PanelDue display which cannot be easily changed, and using an phone/tablet/raspberry pi+hdmi screen to display DuetWebControl. The latter is what you see in this thread (and all Duet's will serve the DuetWebControl - what you choose to display it on is up to you)

With a SBC attached you won't be able to list files or macros on the PanelDue, but the other functions should still work.
Would it be possible to store macros on a sd card inserted into the Duet 3 to access them via Paneldue when using a SBC?
Thanks, Martin

When using an attached SBC, all files are stored on the SBC, not on the Duet. Since RRF 3.1, and using the latest PanelDue firmware, the PanelDue can run macros stored on the SBC.

Perfect, thanks!
