      @developeralgo222 I know this sounds rather basic, but have you swapped the CAN wires around? It sounds like the cable from 3HC1 to 3HC2 isn’t working, or only partially, or picking up interference. Check continuity, and that resistance is within specification. How long are the cable runs?

        I have checked the RJ11 cables and tested them with a Fluke professional cable tester to make sure they are ok. The lengths are :
        6XD to 3HC1 —> 10 ft cable
        3HC1 to 3HC2 & 3HC2 to 3HC3 —> 1ft cable

        I am assuming that RJ11cable for CAN connection is supposed to be shielded Straight through cable ( ie wired at same pins positions on both ends ) as per the documentation . I was using high speed ADSL 2+ cable that were 10ft long , I tried also to shorten 2 of them to 1 ft but that did not solve the issue

          @developeralgo222 @dc42 & @droftarts Finally got this fixed . The issue was bad cable /connection from 6XD to Expansion Board 1 of 3HC . Never trust any cables from China , OMG when i decided to splice them , they are really crappy no shields and no proper insulations per pair. Buyer be aware.Have seen this in many chinese made products on Amazon.

            @developeralgo222 glad you got it fixed! It’s been bugging me what it could be if it wasn’t the cables!

              Got them powered up and syncing and then they started rapid flashing and lost synchronization again. so i unplugged all the extension boards and again started adding one by one, to see if any board or cable is the problem. I made all the connection cables and tested them for continuity myself to make sure they are ok .

              As per documentation , Is the 2 CAN Bus Termination Jumpers(resistors) required only on the Last Expansion Board in the chain ? In my Case 6XD --> 3HC(1) --> 3HC2(2) --> 3HC(3 -- Has 2 CAN Bus jumpers)

              This is getting to be a frustrating episode

                Yes, that should be correct. You should have termination at both ends of the bus.

                  i assume CAN Bus Termination Jumpers only on 3HC(3) but not on 6XD board ( i don't see any CAN Bus termination jumpers on 6XD ) in my case

                    @developeralgo222 Yes, the 6XD should have CAN termination resistors built-in. See https://docs.duet3d.com/Duet3D_hardware/Duet_3_family/Duet_3_Mainboard_6XD_Hardware_Overview#can-fd-bus-expansion

                    There is a termination resistor fitted on each CAN bus, so normally this board must be at the end of the bus. There are drill-to-disconnect jumpers on the underside of the board that allow the termination resistor to be removed, however this is not required in normal operation.

                      Ok that's good. so it seems when i disconnect board 3 ( 3HC(3) ) still Boards (6XD, 3HC2(1) & 3HC(2) ) syncs even without a jumper on 3HC(2) but as soon as i connect board 3 (3HC(3) which has the jumpers it stops syncing.

                      A little troubleshooting :

                      • 6XD --> 3HC(1) ==> Syncs
                      • 6XD --> 3HC(1) ---> 3HC(2) with CAN Termination Jumpers) ==> Syncs
                      • 6XD --> 3HC(1) ---> 3HC(3) with CAN Termination Jumpers) ==> Syncs

                      Looses synchronization when i connect all 3 expansion boards ( 3HC(1) , 3HC(2) & 3HC(3) )

                      e.g 6XD --> 3HC(1) --> 3HC(2) with CAN Termination Jumpers) ==> Syncs

                      Not sure what might be the issue. I don't think its the cables anymore, it has to be the Duet 3 3HC boards or the RRF firmware ?

                        @developeralgo222 are you quite certain that you have identified the CAN termination jumper positions correctly? The CAN bus is quite tolerant and will often work with a termination resistor missing or with an extra termination resistor, but probably not with two extra resistors.

                        Other things to check:

                        • Do the contacts in the CAN sockets of board 2 look OK? Does the soldering of those sockets on the underside of the PCB look OK?
                        • Are all 3 boards set to different CAN addresses?
                        • Does 6XD - board 2 - board 3 work?

                          • (1) Contacts in the CAN sockets of board 1,2 & 3 look ok . Yes contacts on board 2 look ok, The solder is good and has good contact and spread on the pin under side

                          • (2) All three boards are set to CAN ID 1, 2 & 3 respectively

                          • (3) Does 6XD - board 2 - board 3 work? NO - it does not sync . ( in this case only Board 3 has the Jumpers )

                          Sync tests : -- this is really strange

                          • 6XD --> 3HC(1 ) ==> Syncs without the CAN termination jumpers on 3HC1

                          • 6XD --> 3HC(2 ) ==> NO Sync W/O the CAN termination jumpers on 3HC2

                          • 6XD --> 3HC(3 ) ==> NO Sync W/O the CAN termination jumpers on 3HC3

                          • 6XD --> 3HC(1) ---> 3HC(2) ==> Syncs ---- No CAN termination jumpers on both 3HC1 & 3HC2

                          • 6XD --> 3HC(1) ---> 3HC(3) ==> Syncs ---- No CAN termination jumpers on 3HC1 but with CAN Termination Jumpers on 3HC2

                          • 6XD --> 3HC(2) ---> 3HC(3) ==> NO Sync -- No CAN termination jumpers on 3HC2 but CAN Termination Jumpers on 3HC3

                          NOTE: The only difference between 3HC1 , 3HC2 & 3HC3 is that 3HC2 have 3 x SMC Vacuum Pressure Sensors PWR & GND connected to same VIN & GND on the 3HC2 board & 3HC3 have another 3 x SMC Vacuum Pressure Sensors PWR & GND connected to same VIN & GND on the 3HC3 board as per @dc42 earlier suggestions as per the picture below. Do you think this might be the issue ?

                            @developeralgo222 I suspect a bad connection on the socket on board 2 that you are using to connect board 3 to it. Please try just connecting the 6XD and board 2 again but use the other board 2 connector this time, i.e. the one that you normally use to connect board 3 to it. The two CAN sockets are connected in parallel so it shouldn't matter which you use as input from the 6XD and which you use as output to the next board.

                                • 6XD --> Board 2 CAN_OUT and Board 2 CAN_IN --> Board 3 CAN_IN -- No sync

                                • 6XD --> Board 2 CAN_OUT and Board 2 CAN_IN ---> Board 3 CAN_OUT -- No sync

                                i am not sure what might be the issue with CAN Bus connections on the Duet 3 Boards , i believe @dc42 is the designer or one of the designers of this boards if i am not wrong, please can you give some insights as to why 2 x 3HC are not syncing at all. i bought another 3HC(4) board 4 today and even that doesn't sync but with that it has RRF 3.4.1 so i need to update it to 3.5_rc2 and then test. But i am really getting frustrated with CAN Bus connections on this Duet 3 Boards. This are very simple straight forward CAN Bus connections and i should not be encountering such issues.

                                  @developeralgo222 I suspect a bad connection on the socket on board 2 that you are using to connect board 3 to it. Please try just connecting the 6XD and board 2 again but use the other board 2 connector this time, i.e. the one that you normally use to connect board 3 to it. The two CAN sockets are connected in parallel so it shouldn't matter which you use as input from the 6XD and which you use as output to the next board.

                                    That's not what I asked you to test.

                                      @developeralgo222 to me, that looks like the boards are continually resetting, or one of them in the bus is, and affecting others. And that makes me think there is a short on the board, probably caused by something plugged into it.

                                      Did you test the setup before installing in the machine and connecting everything? I think you’re going to need to disconnect everything from the boards, unmount them from the machine (in case the way you have mounted them is causing a short) and bench test with just CAN and power connected to either isolate the behaviour of the CAN error, or if it works correctly, to start looking elsewhere for what is causing the boards to possibly be resetting.

                                      And yes, all boards need to be on the same firmware version.

                                        I disconnected everything from the Expansion boards. The only thing connected is power and CAN Bus cables. I also do design my own boards too but never used Duet 3 boards for any project of mine. This is the first time. Pretty sure about taking care to avoid shorts. Never imagined i would have such a hard time having Duet 3 Board working

                                          @developeralgo222 and just to be sure, termination only happens on the last 3HC in the chain?
