PanelDueFirmware 3.2.2 released

wilriker

I am pleased to announce the release of PanelDueFirmware 3.2.2. Please excuse the inconvenience with broken 3.2.1.

Version 3.2.2

Upgrade Notes:

This release is compatible with RepRapFirmware 3.2-beta1 or later. It will partially work with RepRapFirmware 3.1.1 but not with any older version.
Flashing this release will reset the configuration to defaults

Limitations

Due to the lack of RAM this build will not run on version 1 or early version 2 PanelDue boards that use the ATSAM3S2B chip.
- Version 1.0, 1.1 and earlier v2 PanelDue: ATSAM3S2B processor (64MHz, 32kb RAM, 128kB flash) - these are the ones that the new firmware probably won't run on.
- Version 2 PanelDue manufactured from August 2016: ATSAM3S4B processor (64MHz, 48kb RAM, 256kb flash). Will run the new firmware, but not as fast as version 3 will.
- Version 3 PanelDue, including all 5i and 7i: ATSAM4S4B processor, 120MHz, 64kB RAM, 256kb flash. Will run the new firmware.
There will be no reliable status updates coming from RepRapFirmware while waiting for heaters to reach temperature (and some other cases) before RRF 3.2-beta4.

New and changed features:

Babystep amount is configurable from preset values
When babystep buttons are pressed the value on the screen will be updated immediately and will be overwritten
with the actual value on the next status update (usually these values should be equal anyway)
Feedrate for move buttons is configuratble from preset values
PanelDueFirmware does no longer distinguish between responses to M409 with and without K parameter. This prevents
issues if values are moved from live to detail response or vice versa
Provide interface for RepRapFirmware to reset as well as erase and reset the PanelDue
Preparations to show more than one bed/one chamber

Bug fixes:

Babystepping amount was not initialized

Bug fixes since 3.2.1:

Setting babystep amount to the lowest value would invalidate stored settings on next start of PanelDue
A chamber could steal the second slot and status/temperatures would alternate between the tool and the chamber
A null pointer dereference could occur when RRF was restarted leading to a reset of PanelDueFirmware
State "Initializing" was replaced too early by "Idle"
Fetching the first bed/heater would not filter out invalidated entries
Under rare cicumstances it could happen that selectin a bed/chamber or setting temperatures for these could
cause a restart of PanelDueFirmware

@wilriker I have a Paneldue 5i and when I try to update to 3.2.2 my screen just stuck @ connecting. Funny thing is that I can control the printer from screen. But there are absolutely no screen updates. Also the whole heater section is missing. When I flash 1.24 I have a normal working screen again. What could this be.

@Caveman What version of firmware are you running on the Duet?

Caveman

3.2 beta3

wilriker

@Caveman Can you please flash PanelDueFirmware again and see if this problem still exists?

Also please make sure that the baud rate you configured on your Duet with M575 matches the baud rate set on your PanelDue. And of course that you enabled the Aux port via M575 in the first place.

If that still does not work please connect a USB cable to your Duet, connect via serial terminal (if necessary see guide for initial Duet setup for instructions on how to do that) and issue

M111 P3 S1

You should see M409 commands coming in on channel Aux.
Run

M111 P3 S0

before disconnecting USB.

If you don't please return here and provide your config.g as well as the output of M122.

Does this mean updating PanelDue firmware will be possible via DWC down the road?

I am working on that. But due to hardware limitations it will only work for v3 boards and 5i/7i. So much limitation I can already put forward.

@wilriker
Sweet! Given how cheap the V3 boards are it's not unobtainable for anyone atleast

Hi,
I have a problem about on screen keyboard. I pressed any letter but no any visible feedback. When i close and re open keyboard all pressed letter can visible.
My board V3 and 7"

wilriker

@cgcafer Thanks for reporting. I can reproduce this issue. Actually that's a bug I already fixed in one of the 3.2.0 RCs but it seems to have returned.

cgcafer

Thanks for your answer, i have also another problem that is about V2 board and 5"LCD.
it has no problem with V1.24 but not V3.2.2. It seems to like about lcd timing problem.

wilriker

@cgcafer I found the bug with the command input (actually a different problem to what I fixed in the RCs) and fixed it. I will release this probably later today.

it has no problem with V1.24 but not V3.2.2. It seems to like about lcd timing problem.

Can you explain that with a bit more detail, please?

All V3 same result

I can also atest for the on screen keyboard acting up. If i write something it won't show up unless i hit backspace.

wilriker

@Exerqtor Thanks, I found and fixed that. I am right now working on improving overall update rate and will then release a new version.

Thanks for reporting. I will analyze this issue but it may take a while. Sorry, I cannot give you a more short-term answer.

wilriker

I have now released PanelDueFirmware 3.2.3. Please continue in this thread.

wilriker

@cgcafer Please check the latest release of PanelDueFirmware 3.2.4 if that fixes your issues on your V2 board.
