New Raspberry Pi Zero 2W

T3P3Tony

@o_lampe I don't understand exactly what you are proposing? what would the board with the pico do? how would it communicate (and what hump are we getting over?)

o_lampe

@t3p3tony the M0 could do the multi-stream gcode analysis, while the onboard MCU does the pulse-generating for steppers, PWM a.s.o.
The hump is the limited RAM of the duet2 mcu

I tried to find a Pico board with Sam-C21 and CAN-FD.

See https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Using_the_Sammy-C21_development_board_with_Duet_3.

@dc42 I know the board, but it's out off stock and quite expensive. (27EUR vs 4EUR)
But I'd still consider it as Duet2 CoPro as described above.

@T3P3Tony I wouldn't mind to delete the last posts and start a new thread, although everything I posted about the M0 is IMHO also valid for the Zero 2W and any other SBC

@pcr nice! why the two different headers, one for Duet 3 and one for the 3 mini?

PCR

@t3p3tony yes. I dont want to Stack in diectly on the Board. Because of some connectors. And yes the Header is placed diffrently on duet 3 and Duet Mini ;(

@pcr btw someone from Germany who Likes to Test the Board ?

@t3p3tony said in New Raspberry Pi Zero 2W:

definitely worth giving it a go though!

How about a duet controller board with a plugged in Pi Zero for both controller and SBC functionalities?

Edit: or a Pi Zero and a minimal MCU for i/o only, basically a Klipper style RRF on a single board.

Ich habe heute einen Zero 2W bestellt, aber ich habe weder Duet3 oder Mini5+.
Vielleicht @cosmowave ?

English: I've ordered a Z2W, but don't have duet3 nor Mini5...maybe Cosmowave?

@pcr I am game.

@pcr
CAN-FD module for RasPi Pico I checked the prices of the main components: the CAN-FD module and the transceiver chip cost less than 3€
Why is this module so expensive?

PCR

@o_lampe dont Know. Could be the programming software. If Somebody would be interested in programming i would make a small Board with only the 2040 chip

o_lampe

@pcr said in New Raspberry Pi Zero 2W:

Could be the programming software

It's open source

The open-source MicroPython SDK from Canis Labs implements a sophisticated CAN API, including priority-inversion free drivers, 1μs accuracy timestamps, large buffers, and an API for triggering a logic analyzer or oscilloscope.

If you make your own CAN-board, make sure all Pico through-hole pins are still available

PCR

@o_lampe Sure First development would be a hat for the pico

o_lampe

@pcr I wonder, if it would also work for the Zero 2W? A quad-core 1GHz SBC-board with CAN-FD would be a gamechanger...

PCR

@o_lampe
Should

o_lampe

@pcr @T3P3Tony If we could integrate CAN-FD as PIO state machine in M0(Pico) hardware, we would only need a tranceiver...
