Upgrading after 1.5yrs

[tsitalon1]

Hey guys,

Long story short, my printers sat in storage for 1.5 years, just go them back online and working.

I'm currently rocking the below versions:

Board: Duet 2 WiFi (2WiFi)
Firmware: RepRapFirmware for Duet 2 WiFi/Ethernet 3.2.2 (2021-02-11)
Duet WiFi Server Version: 1.25

I'd like to upgrade to the latest stable releases for all the nifty new bells and whistles, but the release notes are longer than a college essay - LOL

Anyone have any cliff notes as far as config changed needed to remain functional after the upgrade?

@tsitalon1 unless you're running DAA, there shouldn't be anything in your config which doesn't work (IIRC).
I've ran the same config on 3.2.2, 3.3 and 3.4.4

[tsitalon1]

@jay_s_uk - Thank you.

Can I go straight to 3.44, or do I need to take smaller upgrade steps to get to 3.44 ?

[jay_s_uk]

@tsitalon1 you may need to go 3.3 then 3.4.5

[tsitalon1]

@jay_s_uk Thx !

[tsitalon1]

Well I got to 3.3, but 3.44 or 3.45 just causes an error when trying to update:

Error M997: In-application programming binary "0:/firmware/Duet2_SDiap32_WiFiEth.bin" not found

[jay_s_uk]

@tsitalon1 can you reupload the 3.3 zip file then try again?

[tsitalon1]

@jay_s_uk said in Upgrading after 1.5yrs:

3.3 zip file then try

Won't re-apply 3.3 now, same error, even though I'm already on 3.3:

Board: Duet 2 WiFi (2WiFi)
Firmware: RepRapFirmware for Duet 2 WiFi/Ethernet 3.3 (2021-06-15)
Duet WiFi Server Version: 1.25

I'm using the Duet2CombinedFirmware.bin file

@tsitalon1 upload file Duet2_SDiap32_WiFiEth.bin from the release to your Duet; then you should be able to upgrade to 3.4.x.

[jay_s_uk]

@tsitalon1 I meant use the combinedduet2and3.zip or whatever it's called

[tsitalon1]

Worked now on:

Board: Duet 2 WiFi (2WiFi)
Firmware: RepRapFirmware for Duet 2 WiFi/Ethernet 3.4.5 (2022-11-30)
Duet WiFi Server Version: 1.27

Thank you both !

Now to see if things still work...

Looks like i lost my extruder after the upgrades:

@tsitalon1 send M98 P"config.g" to run your config.g file after the machine has booted it will show you which command(s) have errors in them.

[tsitalon1]

@T3P3Tony No errors noted:

[tsitalon1]

M122 only listing one heater, but I see nothing wrong with my heater section in Config.g:

=== Heat ===
Bed heaters 0 -1 -1 -1, chamber heaters -1 -1 -1 -1, ordering errs 0
=== GCodes ===

Figured it out, 3.3 release notes listed this:

All extruders must be declared explicitly using M584. In previous firmware versions, one default extruder was assign to driver 3.

Once I input M584 E3 in my config.g, it now listed both heaters and my extruder... off to a test print
