Duet3 Homing failed

jay_s_uk

@hammad do you have a powered hub you can try with?

Hammad

@jay_s_uk Do you think this will solve the problem?

jay_s_uk

@hammad it has for people in the past. i've seen instances where standard USB doesn't provide enough power, especially laptops

Hammad

@jay_s_uk Thank you for the idea. Ill let you know in few minutes if this actually works.

Hammad

@jay_s_uk Thank you so much! this actually worked. It is writing the Firmware right now. It's been at 34% for a while now. I'm just glad that it connected!

jay_s_uk

@hammad one step forwards and all that

Hammad

@jay_s_uk Do you think it is normal, that it's taking that long?

jay_s_uk

@hammad no, its not normal for it to take very long. last time I flashed one the increase in % was fairly uniform and only took a minute or so.
maybe try again?

Hammad

@jay_s_uk Same thing. it gets stuck at 35%. I've tried it from a different Laptop.

jay_s_uk

@hammad not a good sign. hopefully @Phaedrux or @dc42 can comment

dc42

It might be worth trying the modified version of Bossa that I released recently. See the fork of Bossa at https://github.com/Duet3D/BOSSA/releases/tag/1.9.1a-duet3d.

Hammad

@dc42 It does the same and gets stuck at 34% of the writing process. Any other ideas? I hope this isn't the only way.

Phaedrux

Can you confirm that you have the same write options checked?

Hammad

@phaedrux Yes, I followed the instructions in the documentation. I've tried from many different PCs and cables. The board gets detected but the writing process doesn't finish. I even left it over night and it stayed at 34%. I tried older versions of the Firmware and it doesnt get beyond 34% for some weird reason.

dc42

@hammad when and where did you purchase the Duet? Which country are you in?

Hammad

@dc42 From Dold Mechatronik in Germany.

@dc42 From Dold Mechatronik in Germany.

I received the board like a month ago.

Hammad

@hammad @Phaedrux @dc42 The firmware writing worked. The issue was the powered USB hub. After uploading the firmware to the board the 5V and 3.3V LEDS stopped working.

Hammad

@dc42 I upgraded the Firmware of the Duet3 to 3.4. When the board is only connected to 24 V externally the 5V and the 3.3V LED aren't on. When I connect the micro USB to my PC it works again (the 24 V isn't connected to avoid a ground loop). now I did the trick where I tell the board through YAT that it homed and tried to move the axis and it didn't work. What am I doing wrong?

jay_s_uk

@hammad if the 5v and 3.3v lights aren't on when powered by 24v, the onboard 5v converter has died
