Migration from RRF 2.05.1 to RRF 3.x

Captain_sq

I finally decided to make the leap from RRF 2.05.1 to 3. I have been searching the forum for some comprehensive instructions for this but I have come to understand that there is no "one-size fits all" for this procedure. Could someone well versed in the do's and don'ts for this take a look at my config.g file and point out the changes needed to be made? Which 3.x version shall I pick to make the transition as smooth as possible?

Thanks in advance.

The printer in question is a heavily modified TronXY X5S core XY. The hardware is a older Duet WiFi board using an Escher IR Z-level sensor. Config.s as follows:

The small fineadjusting macro at the end of the config is to make quick changes to run parameters without rebooting the board. Currently, it looks like this:

When updating from v2 to v3 you have to first update to 3.0.0 and then to the final version. I use 3.3.3 because 3.4.x is still in BETA.

@captain_sq check here what you need to convert. You can also make a new configuration with the config tool and then compare it with the old one.

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.

You can see the change logs here:
https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/wiki/Changelog-RRF-3.x

For your config, might be a good idea to run through the configurator tool and generate a fresh set for RRF3.
https://configtool.reprapfirmware.org/Start

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.

Thanks guys, I think I can manage this using this information.
