It's out! RepRapFirmware 2.0 and 1.21.1 released

[GizmotronX5000]

I have downloaded the Duet2CombinedFirmware.bin, iap4e.bin, and DuetWebControl.zip files. I uploaded all of these to my DuetEthernet and it looked like it installed correctly, but it reports back saying that the firmware version is still 1.21. I'm running DWC 1.21.1, but I tried it with DWC 1.21 as well. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? The firmware updated date is listed as (2018-03-21), which is probably when I updated things last. Unfortunately the link above didn't solve my problem like I had hoped.

Edit: It works now. Tried it again after the 4th or 5th time and it just worked. I honestly cannot think of anything that changed.

thanks much @Phaedrux , i will give that a try this weekend!

[Adamfilip]

So far so good, havent run into any issues with 2.0 so far

[FrankNPrinter]

THanks @Phaedrux ! I couldn't wait so finished upgrade about 130 this AM LOL that worked like a charm even if it read like mudd. someone might want to update the install for 1.21 vs 1.19 as that was the instruction i used. Still have panel due to go but everything else is 1.21 now. dont suppose there is a way to flash duo from duet wifi? Else wise i will have to pull apart my case un mount and disconnect it so i can carry it to the computer room and plug in usb. Shocked and amazed i have not heard from @dc42 yet. I seem to recall Dave sending me answers before i could finish the question back in the day. LOL Bet you are even more insanely busy but keep up the outstanding work! I can see so many improvements and advances since i went down this road before, it really is awesome the way you take everyone's crazy ideas and turn it into a new release.. epic stuff there that every company on the planet should be doing as a business model!
Now to tackle the bltouch issue again... later... much appreciated!

I've been busy with EMC compatibility testing for CE certification for the last 2 days, so I've had very little time to respond to forum questions. In answer to your question, we hope to support updating PanelDue version 3.0 controllers through the Duet in the future, however we need to write some firmware to make that possible. So at present you have to update them through USB.

Hi, I just have a serious layer shift on some pieces. The printer was running for many days non stop without a single issue.
Mechanically everything moves smoothly.
Here's my M122. After that, I restart the print, and so far everithing is going well.

The error status 16 is what caught my attention but I couldn't find any info of it.

[dc42]

Is this a problem that has only occurred since you upgraded to firmware 2.0?

Layer shifts are typically caused by the nozzle catching on a blob or curl-up. Increasing motor current or reducing travel speed may help. What is the rated current of the motors, and what currents have you set in M906?

The error code bits are defined as follows:

// Enumeration of error condition bits
enum class ErrorCode : uint32_t
{
BadTemp = 1u << 0,
BadMove = 1u << 1,
OutputStarvation = 1u << 2,
OutputStackOverflow = 1u << 3,
HsmciTimeout = 1u << 4
};

So 16 means that there was a timeout on the SD card interface, which is unusual.

I finally found the problem. It was a belt about to get cut. I didn't notice on first sight, but after a careful look I saw a dent on one of the belts (it's a coreXY), so although it did move smoothly, occasionally it got caught on one of the pulleys...
It last a year, I need to try with an original Gates.

Please, delete the posts since it wasn't firmware related.

All this time (many days) I've been working with firmware 2.0. Not a single problem. The only thing that noted is that file upload to SD now reach a maximun of 750kb/s and with 1.21 it reaches 1000kb/s-

OK so now a new wrinkle in the Acronym soup ... Sam3 / Sam4 ????

I really dont understand many of the notes put on these github docs and find them to be a bit challenging to follow.

Id like to use FW ver 2.0 here ... for my Duet Wifi [ Duet 2 ver Board ???? ]

My DWC Page tells me - I have this stuff:

=====================
Firmware Name: RepRapFirmware for Duet 2 WiFi/Ethernet
Firmware Electronics: Duet WiFi 1.02 or later [ so is that a Duet 2 or a Duet 1.02 ? ]
Firmware Version: 1.21 (2018-03-21)
WiFi Server Version: 1.21
Web Interface Version: 1.21

So am I needing files for a Duet 2 Board even though the DWC interface indicates a cryptic indicator of my Electronics version of 1.02 or later vs. Duet 2 ???

Apparently i need Duet2Combined [ why its combined and with what who knows ] yes / no ?

What wifi server version files do I need to upgrade to ? [ if any ]

Do I also need a New browser interface update aka DWC / a.k.a. Web Interface Version / a.k.a. DuetWebControl.1.???

Also if any of those other files in any combination are needed - how does one know ? As well if so, what order should they be installed.

[Phaedrux]

I agree it is fairly obtuse and complicated. An automated update system would be a boon.

You'll want the combined firmware, but if it won't take it might need to be renamed to match what you have installed already. ( I know... Complicated) this is due to the recent change which merged the duet ethernet and wifi firmwares. Hence combined.

You'll also want to grab the DWC file and the webserver file and the IAP files just in case.

Hope that helps. And hopefully the pain points of updates can be improved in the future.

Well said, @Phaedrux, couldn't agree more.

In my view, the firmware update structure/mechanism of the Duet and its peripherals (DWC, PanelDue, etc) is way behind the product itself.

Especially given all the firmware updates that frequently come up (great job, @dc42!), I think significantly upgrading and consolidating this aspect ought to move way up high in the priority list (if that's not the case already).

[SputnikOC3d]

Thanks guys ... yeah I just punted and dl'd 3 main files [ as I dont use PanelDue ] and - installed ...

Guessed on the order... just did the main baords fw 1st then, wifiserver then DWC file.

[Phaedrux]

They can go all at once usually. Sometimes the main firmware takes a couple attempts.

Glad it worked out

I'm upgrading a Fisher delta with a 0.6 Duet from 1.09k to 1.21.1 and have a problem with the web interface. On the G-Code Files listing the green, blue and red icons are not being displayed next to the files, I only get a simple selection box.

This is the same on Firefox and Chrome browsers

I have used the DuetWebControl-1.21.1.zip from https://github.com/dc42/RepRapFirmware/releases/tag/2.0

[dc42]

Click the filename to print it, or right-click on the filename to get the other options. You can also select a number of files using the check boxes and then right-click on one of the filenames.

[daprigoo]

@dc42 thanks, I discovered this after going through the web interface and it's GIT site when the changeover seems to have been made in v1.17 - is this the standard interface now and the documentation is a bit out of sync?

[dc42]

Yes, the manual is a bit out of date - I'll try to get it updated.

[stevenrsearles]

So I'm about to try to update firmware from 1.18 to 1.21 which i believe to be the most up to date. As i completely messed up the last update and had to do it the hard way I decided to just ask the questions on how to do it rather than just end up asking how to fix it. I read on wiki that to update all files you have to do them in this order: DuetWiFiFirmware, DuetWiFiServer, DuetWebControl. which makes sense as thats what I botched up before, but reading on it said Sometimes we may do synchronised releases of firmware, where more than one firmware component needs to be updated at the same time to maintain compatibility. So would have to use this option or what would be the best way to make this leap. I'm assuming I don't have to do every upgrade I have missed and can just jump to the 1.21.

[Phaedrux]

@stevenrsearles you'll want to follow these instructions since you're still on 1.18.

There is also no reason not to upgrade straight to the 2.0 releases and skip 1.21

https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Installing_and_Updating_Firmware#Section_If_your_Duet_WiFi_is_running_firmware_1_18_or_earlier

[stevenrsearles]

But that’s for the web control which on the list is the last to be upgraded if updating all firmware.
