NEED HELP please

"Identify the COM port number or port name of the PanelDue board on your PC. If you use Windows, you can do this via Start->Control Panel->System->Device Manager. Expand Ports (COM and LPT), and look for Bossa port. Make a note of the port number. If you can’t find the port, try repeating the Erase and Reset sequence, or disconnecting and reconnecting the USB cable, or try a different USB port on your computer. Note: the port number of the Bossa port for PanelDue will not be the same as the one you use when uploading firmware to Duet electronics.
Use bossac to program the board. Under Windows, open a command prompt and use this command:
bossac.exe –port=COM9 -e -w -v -b PanelDueFirmware.bin
Replace COM9 in this command by the COM port number you found, and PanelDueFirmware.bin by the path to your downloaded firmware file. It is possible to use the interactive version (Bossa) instead of bossac, but if you do then you must check the Erase All, Lock, and Boot from Flash boxes."
This is where it did not continue to cooperate. the command did not go through. here is what it said,
C:\Users\CCWCF>bossac.exe --port=COM9 -e -w -v -b PanelDueFirmware.bin
'bossac.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file. -
Assuming you have already downloaded and installed Bossa as described in the instructions, you probably need to specify the path to bossac.exe, for example use "C:\Program Files\BOSSA\bossac.exe" (including the quotation marks) at the start of the command line instead of just bossac.exe.

I have tried that… i am not smart in this area.
I am willing to ship this board and screen back, and re-order and i will make sure i DON'T touch the erase button.
That will be easier for me as i do not understand these instructions.
unless there is another way or its something simple im not understanding correctly.
I am not in anyway frustrated or upset at Duet. -
You have to be in the correct directory (the directory with bossac.exe and PanelDueFirmware.bin) before running the command.
Could you post a screenshot of your attempt, then I can point out what's wrong?

How do i post a picture. when i click image i get this. [ img]
I tired dragging and dropping. copy paste. -
Upload the image to an image host, such as imgur.
Place the URL inside of the img tags, like this:[ img]https://i.imgur.com/v6jkSLc.jpg[/ img]
Except without the space before the img in each tag.

Thank you!!! -

The top left window in your image shows the interactive version of Bossa. It looks like you have the filename entered correctly, and it has connected to the PanelDue. You just need to check the Lock box, then press Write.
-
still no luck.
i think my problem is the command promt.
is says
"file name" is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. -
Try the next 2 commands in command prompt window (press ENTER after each entered command):
cd "\Program files (x86)\BOSSA"
bossac.exe –port=COM11 -e -w -v -b PanelDueFirmware.bin -
That command i think got me closer but still no go.

-
Yes, you're closer. But your command is referencing "PanelDueFirmware.bin", but the filename you have is "PanelDue-v4-5.0.bin". So Bossa can't find the file you're asking it to find.
So you either need to rename the .bin file, or change the command that you're putting into the command prompt.
-
Didn't see filename, sorry. So second command should be
bossac.exe –port=COM11 -e -w -v -b PanelDue-v3-5.0.bin -

Is that it? -
It seems to me you are in right place, firmware is download on the board.
-
still no luck, i have a black screen that wont turn on. ive checked wiring and made sure its not 1 pin off or backwards.
-
You have successfully re-installed firmware on the board.
1.
Check that there is a jumper on the voltage select pins, in the 3.3V position.Please check that your board revision is 3.0, to match the firmware you have flashed. The version is printed on the back of the PanelDue controller board.2. If you EITHER press the Reset button (NOT Erase!) OR disconnect and then reconnect the USB connector, the display should turn on and you should see a "Touch the spot" prompt (you don't need to connect it to the Duet to get this). If the screen is still blank, then return both the PanelDue control board and the display to your supplier and ask for a replacement.

will the Paneldue work not plugged into the duetwifi?
-
is there a software i can use to control the DuetWiFi from my computer and bypass the PanelDue?
