      I'm reusing a Duet Wifi that was previously used in an older 3D printer. It will be placed in a new Jubilee printer that I have built. I figure now is as good of a time as any to move to RRF3 since I have the standard config files and stuff needed for the Jubilee build. What is the best way to move to RRF3 in this situation. Is it best to clear the firmware and reload it from scratch or should I step through the updates.

      Any suggestions appreciated.

        @mperdue Here are a couple of useful links:

        https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Installing_and_Updating_Firmware#Section_Updating_from_RRF_2_x_to_3_x

        https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/RepRapFirmware/Migration_RRF2_to_RRF3

        Otherwise, I would say save your old config.g for reference and use the RRF config tool to create new system files.

        https://configtool.reprapfirmware.org/Start

        Doing that should get you most of the way there on your new printer.

          @HebigT Thanks. Once I get to 3.0 do I need to step thru all the upgrades or can I go directly to the latest version?

            It looks like I can just go directly to the current release. I’m now running the current version and the basic machine functionality seems to be there. My PanelDue no longer works so I suspect I need to do some updates on it as well. Fortunately, it communicates with my iPad well so I’m able to keep going with this printer build.

            Now i need to figure out how to ge Bossa working on my iMac Studio.

              For the PanelDue you'll likely need to add a M575 P1 S1 B57600 command to your config.g and update the PanelDue firmware. Depending on how old the firmware on it now is you might be able to do it from the Duet.

                @Phaedrux Thanks for posting that. I was pulling what little hair I have left out while trying to figure out why my freshly upgraded devices wouldn't talk to each other. The M575 fixed me up. Now I need to go through the Gcode files and make sure I have RRF3 compatible files installed for everything.

                  Grabbing a fresh set of example files from the config tool to compare against is helpful.

                    @Phaedrux Yeah, that's what I did. I was in pretty good shape with most of the files. Now it's time to add the tools and the macros to support tool changing. It's all going smoother than I expected.

                      My first tool change test worked! Now I need to get the tool connected to the Duet so I can test printing.
