    @crussty Most certainly 😃 I am just trying to determine where the 'fracture' ocurred right now... this is not fun. I think I may just pick up on the most complete version of what @dc42 has and just update it inline.

    @dc42: Speaking of, what branch of your dev firmware is currently the most similar to the feature branch: https://github.com/PrintM3D/RepRapFirmware/tree/v2-feature/morecomplete12864? I see what happened at this point...he was going to implement the feature branch, had to stop, and somewhere in between would have been an update.. i'm trying to construct a timeline to understand where to go back to.

    Thanks,

    David

      As discussed by email, I have merged Matt's work into my v2-dev branch.

        Thank you for your help. I went back to basics on this issue and dug out several USB cables and tried the board with them until I found one that worked. I have now connected the board to wifi and tested it. Everything seems to work so no nuclear option was needed. Thank goodness..

        One odd thing I noticed. When homing individual axes the Z axis would move first. This caused the head bed to collide with the printhead. I have edited the homing .G files to prevent this. Now I am waiting upon a bed-levelling sensor. But all of this is for another time.

          The standard homing files move the head up (or bed down) by 5mm before homing X or Y, to avoid dragging the nozzle over the bed if it is at Z=0. If on your printer it caused the head to collide with the bed, then it sounds like your Z axis is moving in the wrong direction.

            I have merged M3D's additions to the 12864 display support into my RRF fork, put a binary at https://www.dropbox.com/s/m0r3ldy424mxf4v/DuetMaestroFirmware.bin?dl=0 and updated the documentation at https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Duet_2_Maestro_12864_display_menu_system. Please note, this binary is not an official beta release and has had very limited testing.

              Hello, Someone can confirm info on wiki https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/The_Duet_family_of_motion_control_electronics
              Maestro ZprobeIN pins is 30V-tolerant? can i connect a 24V PNP industrial optical sensor directly without a voltage divider or diodes ,optocupler?

              Thank you.

                If you use a PNP output sensor, you will need at least a pulldown resistor.

                Be very careful to connect the sensor output to the correct pin on the Z probe connector. If you connect it to then+3.3V or +5V pin by mistake, then you will wreck the Duet. So it's still safer to use a voltage divider.

                  Not to create a separage thread. Is there a working menu system for maestro or it needs to be created? I looked but have not seen simple lcd operational. Also, can someone point to compatible lcd?

                    We don't have a standard set of menu files, however M3D has produced a set for the Crane Quad. I have put a copy of those at https://www.dropbox.com/s/ugrqnqu6svp7lmn/CraneQuadMenuFiles.zip?dl=0. They should at least give you somewhere to start from.
