Heater Fault

SIam · 14 Oct 2021, 11:57

Config.G says firmware version 1.21

please enter M115 in the console, and post the result

T3P3Tony · 14 Oct 2021, 13:56

Config.G says firmware version 1.21
Although I've just noticed it says
Configuration file for Duet 0.8.5

that will just be the comments in the config.g file from when it was first made. as @SIam says M115 to get the currently loaded firmware.

Given the DWC version it its likely you are on 3.4b3. There was an issue that was fixed in 3.4b4:
https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/wiki/Changelog-RRF-3.x-Beta-&-RC

Heater fault detection was too sensitive during the heating up phase

so please try upgrading to the latest beta release (currently 3.4b5) and see if the issue still occurs.

using M115 I get
M115
FIRMWARE_NAME: RepRapFirmware for Duet 2 WiFi/Ethernet FIRMWARE_VERSION: 3.4.0beta3 ELECTRONICS: Duet Ethernet 1.02 or later FIRMWARE_DATE: 2021-08-24 13:56:19

Tried updating to 3.4.0b5 and whenI try installing I get
Error: M997: In-application programming binary "0:/firmware/Duet2_SDiap32_WiFiEth.bin" not found.

@dave-parry upload the file that it can fid first, then upgrade the firmware. I guess you upgraded to 3.4b3 from a version <3.3 so that file was not put in the right place

Dave Parry · 14 Oct 2021, 14:56

@t3p3tony Have done the updates and it says installed. However M115 still says 3.4.0 beta 3.
Have restarted machine but still the same

T3P3Tony · 14 Oct 2021, 15:01

@dave-parry try re-installing it again please

Dave Parry · 14 Oct 2021, 15:06

@t3p3tony Done that a couple of times now Tony and just notice that the Panel due shows an error could'nt fined file duet2comb..... something too long to display.
Have tried downloading both 0:/sys/Duet2CombinedFirmware.bin and 0:/sys/Duet2CombinediAP.bin and re installing again. same result

T3P3Tony · 14 Oct 2021, 15:14

@dave-parry try putting the Duet2_SDiap32_WiFiEth.bin (from the 3.3 release)

and the Duet2CombinedFirmware.bin

from the 3.4b5 release in the /firmware directory and then run M997.

Dave Parry · 14 Oct 2021, 15:22

@t3p3tony Still the same.

T3P3Tony · 14 Oct 2021, 15:22

@dave-parry what is reported by M997?
Also what is showing in the /firmware directory in DWC?

Dave Parry · 14 Oct 2021, 15:25

@t3p3tony Nothing gets reported and paneldue shows error. But nothing in status window.
seems to start update but stops pretty quickly. Status just says M997 and nothing else.

Dave Parry · 14 Oct 2021, 15:28

@dave-parry In firmware folder just have 3 files.
Duet2_SDiap32_WiFiEth.bin
Duet2CombinedFirmware.bin
Duet2CombinedIAP.bin

T3P3Tony · 14 Oct 2021, 15:42

@dave-parry are you sending M997 from DWC or the PanelDue?

At this point i would suggest connecting over a USB cable and sending M997 via a terminal program like YAT.

Dave Parry · 14 Oct 2021, 15:46

@t3p3tony I was using DWC. will try using yat. I think I have that installed. but maybe have to be later on. Thanks for your help.

Dave Parry · 14 Oct 2021, 16:55

@dave-parry Get the same thing using YAT.
I get a error message cant find 0:/sys/duet2comb.... which seems to be the wrong location. However even putting a copy in the sys folder doesnt work, still get the same message

SIam · 14 Oct 2021, 17:04

@dave-parry as far I can remember I had the same problem, my solution was to upload an actual version from Duet2CombinedIAP.bin I was sure I had the newest version, but it wasn't so...

Idk if it will work but make a copy of the contents of your SD card, then flash a stable binary using Bossa, perferably 3.3. Then generate the config files according to the printer and place those folders in the sd card. Then replace the bin in firmware folder with the version you want to flash. Go to YAT and run M997.

Also are you pressing the reset button before you try to flash the firmware? I have noticed that even if your all files are in correct directories, YAT gives .bin file not found unless you reset the board

Dave Parry · 14 Oct 2021, 18:07

@jazbaatbadalgaye No did'nt press reset. Will try that next.

Dave Parry · 14 Oct 2021, 18:52

@jazbaatbadalgaye trying to flash using bossa, but although the Com3 is listed (and Device manager/port is listed as duet) says cant connect to device. Am I missing something?

jazbaatbadalgaye · 14 Oct 2021, 19:00

@dave-parry Did you put the jumper on the erase pins? As the name suggests, it is going to erase the board so proceed with caution.
