PanelDue intermittently not working
-
Hi all,
I have a RatRig V-Core 3 printer with Duet 3 6HC and a PanelDue 5i connected to it on IO_0.
Configuration is set up and the PanelDue works... but only sometimes.
Behavior is as follows:- Upon powering the printer on (using a smart power plug), everything starts up well, but sometimes PanelDue is stuck "Connecting" for ever.
- Other times, everything starts up fine, PanelDue connects to the mainboard, but doesn't display any changes from initial values. It updates once with data, then nothing, the same data is being displayed.
- More rarely, everything starts fine, PanelDue works as expected, refreshes data, everything is fine.
The change in behavior from one startup from another is happening without any modification of config.g or any other files. It's just a lottery when it starts up.
config.g entry for PanelDue below:
M575 P1 S1 B57600The line is at the very end of the config.g file.
How would I go about troubleshooting why, sometimes, it's not working as expected?
-
@war4peace how long is the cable? have you made it up yourself?
-
@jay_s_uk
No, the cable is the one which comes with the PanelDue, original cable. It was in the box. I have checked its continuity, and it's good.
LE: the cable is 800mm long. -
@war4peace Run M98 P"config.g" to see if there are any errors. Mine got stuck connecting once, when a random gremlin decided one day to make my config.g zero bytes.

What firmware version are you running on the Duet3 and the PanelDue? Can you provide the results of M122? The PD firmware version can be found on the setup page.
Duet should be 3.2.2 and the PanelDue should be at least 1.24.

RFF is 3.2.2
PanelDue firmware version is 1.2.4M122 results below:

If left on at full power, its temperature is predicted to reach 266CHeater 0 is bed heater which is a Keenovo 1500W powered through SSR - so no worries there, and the Height Map thing appears right after the printer is powered up, before homing, which is nothing to worry about either.

I should have asked for the full config.g as well.
The heightmap error is probably because you have a G29 S1 in config.g and it's complaining that it's loading a heightmap before the Z axis has been homed with a probe. G29 S1 should rather be in your slicer start gcode or at the end of homeall.
the CORS disabled errors are probably because you have networking commands in config.g but are also using the SBC which handles networking, so the network commands should be removed from config.g.
The temp warning is just a warning about what the firmware estimates as the reachable temp in a failure full on situation.
You could try updating your paneldue with the more recent 3.x releases.

@war4peace said in PanelDue intermittently not working:
G29 S1 ; Set Units to Millimeters
command and comment don't match. G21 sets to mm.
But that's what's throwing the Z datum warning.@war4peace said in PanelDue intermittently not working:
M586 P0 S1 ; enable HTTP M586 P1 S0 ; disable FTP M586 P2 S0 ; disable Telnet
I believe these are the commands generating the CORS errors and can be removed.
I don't see anything else that would affect the PanelDue. Updating the PD firmware would be my next step.

@phaedrux
Thank you for that, the original config.g was taken from the printer manufacturer's website, and I had to change quite a few things in it, I didn't catch the G29/G21 stuff. I fixed it now.I'll update PD firmware and see if that changed anything.
Will post with results.Thank you for the help!

The only other thing that would be an obvious issue would be wiring or crimps that are intermittently losing connection/failing. Creating a new 4-wire cable couldn't hurt.

SOLVED:
I updated the firmware to latest version using BOSSA.
