DuetWiFi: upgrading from firmware 2.04

llamatrails

It has been a while, but now I can get back to 3D printing.

My DuetWiFi board is currently running:

firmware: 2.04
wifi server: 1.23
web control: 2.04

What is my best way to upgrade to the current 3.4.0 betaX release?

Can I safely upgrade from the Web Control interface ?

If not, where might I find the docs to prepare a new SD card that will upgrade the firmware, server, and control on boot of the SD card?

TIA,
Rick

When upgrading from 2 to 3 you have to first upgrade to 3.0.0 and then to the desired version of 3

If you still have access to DWC. Upload these 3 zip files, one at a time in the system tab. Don't extract them first. Reboot after each. Use M115 in the gcode console to verify the firmware has been applied.
https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/releases/download/2.05.1/Duet2Firmware-2.05.1.zip
https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/releases/download/3.0/Duet2and3Firmware-3.0.zip
https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/releases/download/3.3/Duet2and3Firmware-3.3.zip
That will get your firmware and DWC up to date.

From there you can update to the betas manually.

You can see the change logs here:

For your config, might be a good idea to run through the configurator tool and generate a fresh set for RRF3.

Backup your existing config files in the sys folder in case you want to switch back to RRF2. It’s easy to switch back and forth, just upload the zip file for the version you want and then upload your config files.

These documents will come in handy during the conversion.
