Duet 3 Extruder control disabled

Ralms

Hi everyone,

I've recently adquired a Duet board for the first time and overall I'm really happy with it.

After spending probably around 15h creating new cables and so on I have everything sorted however I'm running into a blocker to run my first test print.

I can control everything in the machine using the Duet Web interface, except the Extrusion Control buttons.

I've doubled checked everything, the Tools seems to be set correctly, it's heated up and still "Extrusion control" is greyed out not allowing me to validate that the extruder stepper motor is working properly.

My printer is a Cartesian style(CR10S base).
Most of the config is default using the Reprap configurator, however I've been adding line by line as I got things wired.

Here is the current config:

Can you share output of M122 command and try cold extrude using M302 P1 it'll enable extrude button. Check if extruder motor making any noise.

I'ved also tried the "M302 P1" to cold extrude but doesn't do anything, the buttons remain greyed out.

Ralms

I've also just tested the following:

Using the X axis cable on the Extruder motor which worked fine.
(Edit: Essentially controlling the Extruder motor as it was the X axis, using X axis driver and cable)
Switching the cable from the extruder motor to the X axis and worked also.

So it's neither the motor or the cable.

I really think it's some sort of configuration, I just can't figure out what.

peirof

@Ralms has try to heat?

Until Duet have not reached the config temp, can't extrude

Ralms

@peirof yes.
I took the first screenshot with the hotend at 190.

I've also had it at 220 and no diference.

peirof

@Ralms another try it's check the tools Config... That you have assigned all ok...

I think it is.
I've shared the entire config on the original post.

Also, I've just tried to do a print and the extruder works fine while printing.
I just don't seem to be able to control it with the web control panel.
Edit: which is a bit of a problem, as I won't be able to properly calibrate it.

fcwilt

Hi,

Just to be sure turn the bed heat on along with the extruder heat and see if that changes anything.

Since you can print something is wrong with your config but I cannot see it (yet)

Hi there,

Doesn't make a diference.

I've now managed to calibrate my Steps/mm of the extruder by manually issuing G1 commands.

Still a bit annoying I can't just use the UI.

Hm, ok, quick question, I don't have yet a Raspberry Pi to control the Duet.

How straight forward / safe is it to do when using the duet directly over the network?

Should be fine. You should be able to upload the Duet2and3Firmware-3.1.1.zip
file in DWC from https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/releases/tag/3.1.1 to update firmware and DWC at the same time. 3.1.1 is a very stable release, but do read the update notes.

Ian

oliof

Did you select a tool running T0 or clicking on the blue text of the extruder tool in the DWC UI?

RRF does not default to activating a single tool setup.

droftarts

@oliof his screenshot shows the tool active, at 200C, and the extruder buttons greyed out.

Ian

@droftarts sorry I didn't look at the screenshot closely enough

Man, this was stressfull...

Ok after trying 3 times to upgrade the firmware, it eventually did it successfully.

First, Bossa got stuck saying "Writing Page 0 (0%)".
I've waited around 5 mins and nothing, so I decided to stop it.

Turn everything back off, turn back on, then Bossa didn't want to write, then was crashing....
Eventually, restarted Bossa, reselected everything including the bin file.

Tried to do "Read", which it did. So I was like: Ok, lets try to Write then and Verify.
Bossa Wrote the firmware and verify was successfully, however I noticed that the .bin file had it's Modified Date changed and was significantly bigger.
Try to boot the Duet and nothing, stuck in Diag mode.

Ok, lets do this a third time.
Download the firmware again.
Erase everything, connect the USB cable, click Reset, Duet connected to the PC.
Restart Bossa, Select the COM port, new download firmware file, tick the boxes, Write, Verify, success.
Press Reset and Duet booted.

Takeaways from this:
The documentation for the Duet 3 on this part could be a bit better, in terms of what is the expected behaviors.
Also, please make it more clear that you have to have the duet PSU on while doing this, initially I wasn't sure.
And add a note saying that if you Read, it will overwrite the file you have selected in "Browse", Bossa is not very clear on this.

Moving forward:
I can't find any information on how to update the Duet Web Control and I'm still in 2.1.0.
Can anyone provide a link on how to do it?
I assume I will have to do it with an micro SD card reader which I have, just would like to know the steps to achieve it.

Thanks,
Ralms.

Ok,
Decided to give it a try to what the Duet 2 documentation mentioned and it updated.
https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Installing_and_Updating_Firmware#Section_If_your_Duet_2_WiFi_is_running_main_firmware_1_19_or_later

Now on Duet Web Control 3.1.1

With the increasing number of boards from Duet, it would be a good move to centralize some of the information on the Wiki, like having a location for the Web control update instead of being mixed in the middle of specific boards docs.

At last but not least, I'm happy to report that after updating Duet Web Control, that the Retract/Extrude button is fixed

Thank you everyone for the assistance.

Into the next challenge on figuring out how to do manually mesh bed level like I used to do on Marlin

Phaedrux

Thanks for the feedback. I think you chose the hardest path possible to update unfortunately.

It should have been made more clear that all you had to do to update the firmware was upload the 3.1.1 zip file as is to the /sys folder via DWC. Generally no need for Bossa unless you don't have access to the board via network or USB terminal.

The zip file contains all the files necessary for firmware and DWC and when uploaded it gets detected and extracted and installed automatically.

droftarts

@Phaedrux I said https://forum.duet3d.com/post/171768:

You should be able to upload the Duet2and3Firmware-3.1.1.zip
file in DWC from https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/releases/tag/3.1.1 to update firmware and DWC at the same time.

Not sure why @Ralms took the Bossa route!
