Duet 3 + SBC Lost connection. No Header

chrishornby

I was mid job when the Duet 3 reported:
"Lost connection to DUET board, board is not available (no header)"
Then its connection established again and was immediately lost again and round we went in circles.

As I have no idea what the message means or what header, I replaced the IDC header lead from the board to the Pi with one from my other board. No fix.

The PanelDue reports "connecting" and doesn't get any further. If I power from USB, same issue and the Pi has a rock solid wifi connection.

Any ideas?

This is what I have done so far:

reflashed the firmware
tried a different raspberry pi
tried it in stand alone mode
connected to the pi with putty and did the sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade
still the same issue with the board: "No data" "No header response"

Are you able to stay connected long enough to provide a M122 report?

What firmware version specifically? 3.1.1 I assume?

Phaedrux

Can you try in standalone mode to eliminate the pi and DSF from the equation?

chrishornby

@Phaedrux yes 3.1.1. I will try M122 tomorrow, not with the machine at the moment. thanks

chrishornby

@Phaedrux I thought I had tried it in stand alone but apparently it is not as simple as putting the SD card in the board instead of the pi. As it is a new board, purchased last week from OOznest I thought it was dual format and would work like that. It seems like I will need to swat up how to make a SD standalone card. I will get back to you.

Phaedrux

If you can still access the configuration files from the Pi you can use those same config files on a separate SD card that will then go in the Duet. You'll also need the DWC files present in the www folder.

Here's a breakdown of the SD card contents required.

Would most likely want to add M552 S1 to enable network for stand alone (if not already in there ofc, but it's not needed for the Pi)

@Phaedrux I managed to get a M122 report eventually, it was very difficult as you see the board is resetting every fraction of a second. I have checked continuity on the reset button and it is open so should be okay. :

Looks like it was the SD card. I made a new one (for the PI, not standalone) and now it all works.
Not sure how to mark the post as solved, thanks for all your help!

Phaedrux

Glad you figured it out. I wouldn't have immediately thought of the SD card.

dc42

Do you still have the SD card that didn't work? My suspicion is that you had a bad command in config.g and the firmware was failing to catch the resulting exception. I'd like to fix that.

chrishornby

You are absolutely right, it was an error in config.g, I was setting up an end stop and the software advised me I had to reverse the pin, or something like that. I looked up how to do it and needed to put a "!" in front of the pin number. From memory it was something like
M587 Z0 S1 P"Io_2"
so I stuck the ! before the P like:
M587 Z0 S1 !P"I0_2"

this totally trashed the setup, how do I know? I did it again!

It should have been
M587 Z0 S1 P"!Io2"

Forgive me if the syntax is wrong but I am not a programmer, anyway it worked this way round!

chrishornby

@chrishornby ...and sorry, not got the card, I re-flashed it, but didn't need to do so as deleting one character in the config file would have fixed it!

@dc42 I am wondering whether you received my first board and whether you need a AOZ1284 as I have one in my possession

I think DC42 is on vacation until next week.

thanks very much
