      Can you verify that your firmware version and DWC version is 3.1.1.?

        @dc42 I"m running it in standalone mode since i have a new duet3 board- when i did the online reprap configuation i selected the duet 2- Pretty sure i read that i need to do that for standalone mode right? Should i try the m98 p "config.g" in yat? I also don't have the motors and stuff hooked up. i was just trying to get the firmware aspect ready to go. that shouldn't matter right?

        I'll change the t value good catch

          Also while hooking up the panel due i checked the pin out and the none of them lined up. the 5 volt line on the panel went to the ground pin on the board. the ground was on a different pin etc. so the panel didnt turn on at all. I put the pins in right location and it started working. the difference between these two images is the IO in and outs being switched. I assume the "out" of the panel should be going to the "in" of the board and vice versa for the other In/Out\

          as you can see it changes if it connects and gets rid of the temp of the extruder

              3.1.4 is the version of the config tool.

              Send M115 to get the version of the firmware. For DWC version, check the settings page.

                No, you must still select Duet 3.

                  No, choose Duet 3. There is a checkbox for standalone right below the board drop down for Duet 3 "Run in standalone mode without SBC"

                  If you have a Duet 3 your config will not work because all of the pin names refer to Duet 2. So you'll need to generate a new config.

                      @dc42 I redid it with duet 3 this morning and selected the standalone mode. fixed the thermistor value. the diag led light stays flashing, the panel due will stay on the "connecting" mode unless i swap the in/pins like i mentioned in my previous comment.
                      with out all the motors and what not selected the hot ends should still show up as if they are there and the connecting should switch to busy or ready?

                          Update your firmware first off.

                          Upload this zip file as is to the /sys folder in DWC
                          https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/releases/download/3.1.1/Duet2and3Firmware-3.1.1.zip

                          The diag light will pulse steadily in normal use.

                          The paneldue should say idle when it is connected and ready to go. You will need M575 P1 S1 B57600 in your config.g to enable support for PanelDue in recent firmwares.

                          Post your new config.g.

                            @Phaedrux Do i have to be using web control for this with standalone? Right now it's not an option due to no ports- I'm at work. I could find a longer cord and go to the next room if need be.
                            if not do i just unzip that folder into the SD Card into that same directory?

                              New config file. it just reads busy and the temp boxes for the extruder are gone unless i switch the two io pins. then they come back but it sits on connecting

                                Yes.

                                You could do the manual firmware update process if you only have access to the board via USB terminal. Extract the zip file, copy just the firmware bin file to the SD card in the /sys folder. Connect via USB and send M997 S0.

                                https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Gcode#Section_M997_Perform_in_application_firmware_update

                                For the DWC files, download this zip file and extract it to the /www folder

                                https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/releases/download/3.1.1/DuetWebControl-SD-3.1.1.zip

                                Once you are updated, send M115 to confirm and then try sending M98 P"config.g" and report any errors.

                                  @Phaedrux i downloaded that zip folder and unzipped it and they're mostly .gz f files and nothing named firmware.bin or similar.
                                  Should i be downloading this firmware bin from DC's github?

                                    ok so i unzipped that same file again and now a bunch of .bin files are showing up. I'll copy the duet 3 mb6hc to the sys folder and do the m997 etc

                                        It would be substantially easier if we had network access to DWC.

                                          yeah I'll have to get IT involved for that though. Why do i need to update the firmware for a brand new board though? Shouldn't it still work.
                                          I do have a Ethernet to USB connector for a PLC but that was a pain to figure too. probably not worth the hassle.

                                            There have been many improvements and fixes for RRF3 between the release candidates. Version 3.1.1 is the latest nad has been proven to be quite stable. So it's strongly recommended to update just to eliminate any potential problems that have already been fixed.

                                            Just in case there was something wrong with the file, try downloading this one

                                            https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/releases/download/3.1.1/Duet3Firmware_MB6HC.bin

                                            Compare the size. It should be 557 KB. Make sure it is within the /sys folder.

                                            Also, just to make sure you have all the other required files present, download these from the 3.0 release and place them in the /sys folder as well.

                                            https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/releases/download/3.0/Duet3iap_sd_MB6HC.bin

                                            https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/releases/download/3.0/Duet3iap_spi_MB6HC.bin

                                            https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/releases/download/3.0/Duet3_SDiap_MB6HC.bin

                                            When you have all those files in place in /sys try M997 S0 again.
