@dc42 I’m in no real rush, though my curiosity has me tempted to try switching over to stand alone. Is the process as simple as copying the files in “/system” to a microSD card?

Yes, basically. Download your sys folder from DWC and copy it to a new SD card. That card will need to be formatted FAT32 and have the /sys/ folder with your config files, and a /www/ folder with the DWC files. A /macros/ and /gcodes/ folder as well. Disconnect the Pi and put the SD card in the Duet. That's all.

Actually you can leave the Pi connected while running it in standalone mode.

@dc42 hi sir I was wondering if there will be support for the lis3dsh soon or in the near future as almost every site I’ve seen is sold out of lis3dh thank you

Which country are you in?

If there turns out to be a global shortage of LIS3DH then I think it wouldn't be difficult to support the LIS3DSH. I have a LIS3DSH board already.

@dc42 I’m in Canada and most sellers that are linked on the site on this side of the ocean are sold out and back order I got one of these https://a.aliexpress.com/_mPLv90v dono why they have both names on it wondered if it works or if support can be added I was going to plug it in to see if it works but didn’t wanna burn something in the process
