New PanelDue firmware 1.15 beta 2

bot · 7 Sept 2016, 17:38

I think one time I was able to flash the paneldue firmware through the duet USB, but I can't confirm that because I was never able to do it again. (And maybe I was dreaming the first time.)

If I did achieve this, it would have been by putting both the duet and the paneldue into the "ready to receive programming mode" by erasing and resetting… and then discovering which of the two com ports was the panel due.

@dc42:

Uploading via serial is possible in principle, but I've never tried it. You would need a USB to serial converter, available very cheaply on eBay. The alternative is to cut the end off a USB cable and solder the wire ends to the board.

PS - if you don't mind the slightly messy soldering, I can send you one of my spare prototype PanelDue boards for you to use as a replacement.

Thank you for you offer but I prefer to try to solver a usb connector to paneldue. And if I fail I'll buy a paneldue directly from you to help to support your work!

If you think that is possible to upload the firmware via de serial connection that links paneldue to the duet can you modify your firmware to support a

M997 S4 (where S4 is the paneldue' s firmware) ?

Thanks in advance!

That's an interesting idea! But it will have to go to the bottom of the firmware wishlist, because there is so much else to do.

Doing this that way (by M997 command ), we can unify the firmware update process in a single mechanism

Yes! no problem if you put in the bottom of your list. Do you want that I create a post in the firmware wish list category with this topic ?

Broke my usb connector, too.
Soldered usb cable on.

I noticed that on my PanelDue the Active temperature for the Bed shows -273 on startup until I set it to anything else. The extruder shows 0 like it should. Probably just cosmetic or a variable initialization problem.

dc42 · 11 Sept 2016, 06:00

That's because -273 is what it is set to. I believe DWC displays 0 when it sees -273 as the active or standby temperature, but PanelDue doesn't do that. You can put M140 S0 in config.g if it bothers you

jamesarm97 · 11 Sept 2016, 13:16

Ok. Thanks. Is that just in case a bed thermistor isn't connected it won't think it needs to raise the bed temp to 0 and causes it to heat?

dc42 · 11 Sept 2016, 15:43

I don't think there is a particular reason for it. The hot end temperature Is the same, however most people put G10 commands in config.g to set the temperatures to zero.

Don't know if this is a bug at all but on my V1.0 PanelDUE Controller and 4.3 inch screen running 1.15B3 I no longer get the Gcode file list so can't print from it?

DWC Work's fine and all other FW is upto Date FW 1.15c Wifi at 1.02 and DWC 1.12.

Any ideas? Think I may roll back to 1.14 on the Panel in stages to see what happens?

Doh feel like a complete wally now just re-read the change log and see you've moved the SD Card to control Page!!

I was looking on the Print page for it Doh.

dc42 · 13 Sept 2016, 15:50

Yes, I decided it made more sense on the control page - because all the other commands I use just before starting a print are also there.

I cannot update my PanelDue because I cannot get the BOSSAC installed. It starts to install and then gives an error.
In this case I will revert to the definition of insanity, and try it again. For the 5th time.

Nope. Setup wizard ended prematurely.

Lykle what OS are you using?

Zesty_Lykle · 17 Sept 2016, 10:28

Sorry, of course.
I am running Win10 on a laptop.

dc42 · 17 Sept 2016, 16:22

You don't need to install bossac if you just copy the bossac.exe file from the Tools folder of my GitHub repo.

DjDemonD · 17 Sept 2016, 19:15

I installed it using sam-ba v2.16 as I had some familiarity with this having using it to recover the duet wifi. Seems straightforward enough.

Zesty_Lykle · 18 Sept 2016, 14:25

Found it, done it and updated the firmware.
Thanks guys. Great support.

My PanelDue is now running 1.15beta3.
