PanelDueFirmware 3.2.4 released

@bearer said in PanelDueFirmware 3.2.4 released:

so when using the default 57600 M997 S4 should switch both the Duet and the PanelDue to 115200, and erase/reset as needed? (it didn't, but when set to 115200 it did (erase and reset automagically))

The flashing procedure will

send the command to erase-and-reset with the currently configured baud rate (this only has effect if PanelDueFirmware is already 3.2.2 or newer)
It waits one second for the PanelDue to comply - this will then start the Bootloader which is hard-coded to 115200 baud
If Duet board is currently set to something other than 115200 it will change that
bossa code is executed on Duet to flash the PanelDue
After the reset at the end PanelDue will boot and restore the previously configured baud rate
If the Duet baud rate was changed above this will be undone at the end before handing control back to the user

Has it been reported that the PanelDue appears to be refreshing (blinking) much more often with this release? I’ve not been able to put my finger on what’s triggering it, but it’s new to 3.2.4 or maybe 3.2.3..

Yes, that was a change introduced in 3.2.3. It will update twice as often than before. If it encounters too many errors related to too frequent status requests it will dynamically slow down request rate until it sees stable responses again.

Also changed in that version was a significant speed up of the initialization phase.

On the 7i i have here this is not the case; or it might well send the command but the only way I could update was to either press erase myself or set the baud rate to 115200 for both the Duet and the PanelDue before issuing M997 S4. Both with the previous beta, and again with 3.2.4 trying to reflash itself to 3.2.4.

Update: Just tried a (less than genuine) v3 4.3" and it does erase but not reset with 57600 baud, however with 115200 baud it erases and resets. Will try the (genuine) 7i again later and report back.

@wilriker I thing that @bearer ment display elements re-drawing, not refreshing the values. Something like during initialization phase, but also later.

I don't understand why that would be related to baud rate since RRF just sends a specific text and PanelDueFirmware reacts to that in its own application logic.
Nevertheless I will investigate.

@wilriker did another 5 flashes at each baud rate; 7i seems to only occasionally not erase; but consistently does not reset when on 57600. 115200 is all good. I can try to dig out logic analyzer to log the serial traffic later if of interest.

But as long as its not the intended behaviour I'm less confused:)

My (genuine) 7i also does not seem to reset after a flash (it always seems to erase and program ok). I'm running the 7i at 57600 and have not (yet) tried changing that to 115200 (will do so later if it helps). FYI I'm running this on the LPC version of RRF and had assumed the lack of reset was down to some problem with my port of the code, but perhaps that is not the case?

My v3 non-integrated PanelDue configured for 57600 baud does erase and then flash successfully, but never resets after flashing.

wilriker

I think I found the reason why it did not Erase-and-Reset in the beginning and/or reset at the end for some users. Currently testing.

A Former User

@wilriker poke me if you want me to test on my troublesome hardware, genuine and not so genuine (don't think that makes a difference in this case?)

edit: wilriker seems to have fixed in latest rrf 3.02-dev on git

@wilriker said in PanelDueFirmware 3.2.4 released:

You could try to use the PanelDue-v3-5.0.bin instead. It might work since it uses a slightly different display driver.

But note that for clones there is no support.

You were right, the firmware came up, the red color is in place. Thank you very much!

I cannot get my fysetc unit to connect now thative upgraded the duet rrf3 fw...

tried the v3-5.0 bin but to no avail ... jsut sits there "connecting" no use ... not communicating with the duet. cant see the files or move the axis ...

was working pretty well before....

@Karabox

Did u actually get your fysetc paneldue workign with the other variant of fw - and comunicating the the duet - or just the color changes work? I got hte different colors and the lcd functions on the usb - but it cant seem to connect to the duet on rrf 3.2-beta4

@bearer

TY - I was on 3.1.1 RRF for the duet but had not updated the paneldue fw for quite a while

Found another thread / post where you identified the issue :

Ive got no M575 P1 S1 B57600

Think thats the issue ?

TY ...

@SputnikOC3d

Solved it - missing vital COM line in config.g

M575 P1 S1 B57600

Release notes people ... READ them

Did anyone notice small dot's in corners, when screen saver is active? Are they suppose to be there?

@wilriker back to the PanelDue refreshing the way it now does.. with all due respect, I don't like it.. maybe I don't understand the problem it is trying to solve though. However, it just seems to now refresh all the time. Where it really bugs me is on the Move screen - it seems to blink after every button press.. sometimes multiple times.

Yep. The lag on the refresh is not as pleasant.

wilriker

@oozeBot Either there is a bug I have missed it I just not get what you mean. Could perhaps make a video?

Only fields changing there values should see a refresh. Are you saying you see full refreshes all the time?
