Help with setting up new Duet 6HC/3HC and Panel 7i
-
@phaedrux Still can't get working. I have my Pi 4 powered with own power. I have SD card ONLY in Pi. I have the Duet 6HC on 24v PSU. I have the ribbon cable between the pi and duet. When I power up pi I can get to pi via putty. I did all the updates etc on the pi. When all running I see panel 7i screen with Connecting in the top right corner. On the duet I have 4 LEDs on and a 5th labeled RSTEXT is blinking red.

Is this a clone Duet?
If you put the SD card in a PC to view the contents does it have a set of folders www sys macros gcodes ?
If it does, put that SD card into the Duet itself and see if it will startup and connect with the PanelDue and if it becomes visible through a USB terminal. The goal is to see what the status of the board itself is. -

@phaedrux if SD card in duet and pi off it does connect.

Ok, so with the SD card in the Duet connect via USB terminal like YAT and check the firmware version by sending M115. It's possible that you'll just need to update the firmware to get in sync with the Pi software versions.
Did you create a new SD card for the Pi using a DuetPi image?
You can use this procedure to update the Duet 3 firmware directly via USB and Bossa. Or you can connect to it via the network and update the firmware over the web interface.
Both options are described here: https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/RepRapFirmware/Updating_firmware
You may also need to update the PanelDue firmware via USB as described here: https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/RepRapFirmware/Updating_PanelDue

@phaedrux m115 shows:
FIRMWARE_NAME: RepRapFirmware for Duet 3 MB6HC FIRMWARE_VERSION: 3.1.1 ELECTRONICS: Duet 3 MB6HC v1.01 or later FIRMWARE_DATE: 2020-05-19b2<LF>ok<LF>
And yes flashed the DuetPI on sd card

3.1.1
Ok, so it's likely that the Duet firmware is too out of date for DuetPi to communicate with it successfully.
Update the Duet firmware to 3.4 using one of the methods described in the link from my last post.

@phaedrux which part should I do? I can't get into webui when duet straight to PC
-
Use fallback #2 to flash it via USB
https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/RepRapFirmware/Updating_firmware#fallback-procedure-2
Or connect the Duet to the network and use the webui.
-
@phaedrux so in BOSSA getting just this when click write. Never moves %
-
Can you try with this version of Bossa?
https://github.com/Duet3D/BOSSA/releases/tag/1.9.1a-duet3d
What file specifically are you trying to flash?
-
@phaedrux Duet3Firmware_MB6HC.bin
-
@phaedrux after messing with it more I think have 3.4.0 on duet and 1.2.4 on panel 7
FIRMWARE_NAME: RepRapFirmware for Duet 3 MB6HC FIRMWARE_VERSION: 3.4.0 ELECTRONICS: Duet 3 MB6HC v1.01 or later FIRMWARE_DATE: 2022-03-15 18:57:26<LF>ok<LF>

1.2.4 on panel 7
You may want to update to the latest 3.x version available for the paneldue.
Now that the Duet is updated you can try connecting to the Pi again. Make sure the SD card is removed from the Duet.

@phaedrux I flashed PanelDue-v3-7.0.bin164
As for connecting to pi still same. Just not sure.

That's the wrong binary for a 7i. It may work, but the colours will be wrong.

So wrong bin? Have the 7" PanelDue V3.0

@rmilyard If you have the 7" PanelDue with the addon board that mounts via header pins, that the correct firmware.
