Duet 2 Ethernet and SBC

[wilriker]

So building IAP is fixed on dev-wilriker branch in DuetIAP repo.

@smoki3 First of all you can ignore the error at the end of your log excerpt. That will be fixed in the next DSF version and has nothing to do with resets. The Bad checksum statements on the other hand really are the cause of the reboot.

Can you please post again which resistors you use on which line and also both your DCS config.json as well as (if you use an actual Raspberry Pi) it's /boot/config.txt.

@wilriker

I use 360 Ohms in MISO MOSI and SPCK. No additional resistors on NPSC0 and EDR because the duet 2 already have 2.2kOhms on board.

I am using a RPI 3:

Where do I find the config jsons ?

[smoki3]

@bearer but the have to be two as far I got it right

[wilriker]

@smoki3 The second file http.json is for the DWS (Duet Web Server) not relevant for the problem here.

This is a shot in the dark but please try adding

# Fix core frequency to have constant SPI clock speed
core_freq=250
core_freq_min=250

to your /boot/config.txt and reboot the RPi. It might be that Duet 2 does not like RPi's default SPI frequency shenanigans (neither do I )

So this doesn't help. Same behaviour as before
It wired because it only happens while homing.

how long is the cable used, and what type of cable is it?

[smoki3]

@bearer it's a normal ribbon cable with a length of 8cm

[A Former User]

@smoki3 said in Duet 2 Ethernet and SBC:

8cm

should be okay, still try lowering "SpiFrequency": 8000000, to say 2000000 in /opt/dsf/conf/config.json and restart DCS (sudo systemctl restart duetcontrolserver) ?

[wilriker]

IAP is fixed now also on master branch.

btw i think there was a slight hickup with it refusing M997 S0 - but can't reproduce it after it did update with both DWC asking to update and M997 without S0.

[wilriker]

@bearer Since there is only one type of firmware to update it is unnecessary to provide a Snnn parameter to M997 in the first place but I agree that it should not result in either a warning or worse an error. If you can reproduce it, please post here.

If everything is working as expected you should not get any checksum errors at all. If you get them more than once something is still wrong.
Have you made sure that both the Duet 2 and the Raspberry Pi share a common ground connection?

Yes both are connected directly to ground

[smoki3]

I tried now different cables, direct wiring without PCB and 470ohm resistors.

But always the same issue.

Also tried now without resistors, same issue

[A Former User]

@T3P3Tony said in Duet 2 Ethernet and SBC:

We are considering a small hardware board to provide the physical interfacing and signal buffering.

if the series resistance is deemed all that is needed, then a few crimps and a printed part goes a long way:

Btw, is there a part# for the nylon stand offs? gonna try a pogo-pin version for the Wifi

[gtj0]

Jeez. I take some time off and this happens.

[smoki3]

@wilriker
Today I am back from holidays. I tried to investigate a bit more but it does not help. I disassembled the Duet 2 Ethernet from my printer so I have no other cables in the near of the board. I also made a new cable out of a shielded ethernet cable to avoid any EMC troubles. But still the same. If I try to flash the firmware for example I get many checksum errors.

@bearer
are you now able to flash the firmware over DWC? I always get checksum error.
