Issue After Firmware Upgrade - New Build

Looking like you're not using the new version of DWC.
Have you tried installing version 2.0.6?

Have you defined any heaters (M950)? My guess is that you haven't, and the older DWC assumes that you always have at least one.

@dc42 I have not and not sure if I know how.

See https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/RepRapFirmware_3_overview. It may be easier for you to have configtool generate a new config,g file for you, and either try it as-is or compare it with your present file.

Alternatively, install firmware 2.05 instead.

@dc42 Thank you. Since I am new to the board and building my first Railcore I think the best option would be to go down to firmware 2.05 for now. Let me try to get that going. To step down in firmware does anything special need to be done and can it be done through YAT?

As you don't have a working network connection to the Duet, the easiest way to change the firmware would be as follows. I am assuming the board is a Duet WiFi or Duet Ethernet.

Move the SD card to a PC
Delete the file /sys/Duet2CombinedFirmware.bin
Copy the Duet2CombinedFirmware.bin from the version 2.05 release file to /sys
"Safely remove" or "Eject" the SD card from the PC
Move the card back to the Duet
Start the Duet
Connect with YAT
Send command M997

When you have the network connection working again, I suggest you upgrade Duet Web Control to version 2.0.6, which is compatible with RRF2.x as well as 3.x.

Tried that and when I send code M997 I receive the following.

Error: In-application programming binary "Duet2CombinedIAP.bin" not found

Looks like you didn't install RRF 3.0 from the zip file, so you don't have all the components. You will need to use your PC to copy that file into /sys from the RRF 3.0 release. [We had to change the IAP file for RRF3 because it was getting too big for the old one.]

Perfect. I was able to downgrade to 2.05. Thank you so much for the support.

You're welcome, it's part of what you get when you buy a genuine Duet.
