      @stjohn, what you have is a Duet WiFi revision 1.04, not a Duet Maestro. So you've come to the right place for support, although you're in the wrong thread.

      If your PC uses Windows, please go to Device Manager, then connect the Duet via USB. Expand "Ports (COM & LPT) and look for the Duet there. If it isn't there, see if there is an "Unknown Device" listed anywhere. Also try a different USB port - Windows has a habit of turning them off sometimes. Try a different micro USB cable if you have another one.

      If you still can't find the Duet in Device Manager, you can try putting a jumper across the Erase pins. The "Bossa port" should appear, again under "Ports (COM & LPT)". Remove the jumper again, because the board won't program while it is present. Then follow the instructions at https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Installing_and_Updating_Firmware#Section_Fallback_procedure_Num_3.

        @streamliner Watching along as you unravel this. Don't envy you having to sort it all out. Once you get it sorted, would you mind also posting the compiled bin's in your dev branches so we can fiddle with what you are working on without having to rebuild it?

        Mahalo!

          @crussty Most certainly 😃 I am just trying to determine where the 'fracture' ocurred right now... this is not fun. I think I may just pick up on the most complete version of what @dc42 has and just update it inline.

          @dc42: Speaking of, what branch of your dev firmware is currently the most similar to the feature branch: https://github.com/PrintM3D/RepRapFirmware/tree/v2-feature/morecomplete12864? I see what happened at this point...he was going to implement the feature branch, had to stop, and somewhere in between would have been an update.. i'm trying to construct a timeline to understand where to go back to.

          Thanks,

          David

            As discussed by email, I have merged Matt's work into my v2-dev branch.

              Thank you for your help. I went back to basics on this issue and dug out several USB cables and tried the board with them until I found one that worked. I have now connected the board to wifi and tested it. Everything seems to work so no nuclear option was needed. Thank goodness..

              One odd thing I noticed. When homing individual axes the Z axis would move first. This caused the head bed to collide with the printhead. I have edited the homing .G files to prevent this. Now I am waiting upon a bed-levelling sensor. But all of this is for another time.

                The standard homing files move the head up (or bed down) by 5mm before homing X or Y, to avoid dragging the nozzle over the bed if it is at Z=0. If on your printer it caused the head to collide with the bed, then it sounds like your Z axis is moving in the wrong direction.

                  I have merged M3D's additions to the 12864 display support into my RRF fork, put a binary at https://www.dropbox.com/s/m0r3ldy424mxf4v/DuetMaestroFirmware.bin?dl=0 and updated the documentation at https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Duet_2_Maestro_12864_display_menu_system. Please note, this binary is not an official beta release and has had very limited testing.

                    Hello, Someone can confirm info on wiki https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/The_Duet_family_of_motion_control_electronics
                    Maestro ZprobeIN pins is 30V-tolerant? can i connect a 24V PNP industrial optical sensor directly without a voltage divider or diodes ,optocupler?

                    Thank you.

                      If you use a PNP output sensor, you will need at least a pulldown resistor.

                      Be very careful to connect the sensor output to the correct pin on the Z probe connector. If you connect it to then+3.3V or +5V pin by mistake, then you will wreck the Duet. So it's still safer to use a voltage divider.

                        Not to create a separage thread. Is there a working menu system for maestro or it needs to be created? I looked but have not seen simple lcd operational. Also, can someone point to compatible lcd?

                          We don't have a standard set of menu files, however M3D has produced a set for the Crane Quad. I have put a copy of those at https://www.dropbox.com/s/ugrqnqu6svp7lmn/CraneQuadMenuFiles.zip?dl=0. They should at least give you somewhere to start from.
