Firmware rollback or other solution

Firmware Version: 3.0 (2020-01-03b3)

V2 to V3 requires YOU to make fairly extensive changes to the config. If you are not ready to do that, install 2.05.1 from

https://github.com/dc42/RepRapFirmware/releases

using file Duet2CombinedFirmware.bin

Once that is in and running, install DWC 2 (Duet Web Control 2) from here:

https://github.com/chrishamm/DuetWebControl/releases

Using file DuetWebControl-SD.zip. Do NOT unzip it, just upload the whole thing via the "system" tab "upload system files" button. The web interface will refresh itself as soon as the upload finishes.

Thanks Danal
I tried uploading and installing firmware V2.03 just then, which didn't fix things.

I'll try your suggestion and let you know what happens.

I downloaded both files that you suggested, then installed the firmware and web control. Voila! it seems to be fixed. My temperature values are as I'd expect, the error for the bed has gone and I am able to turn the heaters on and see their values change.
Thanks a million.

Printing away nicely now....
Thanks again.

Should I now investigate / make the changes necessary to upgrade to firmware V3? What is involved, is there a tutorial? I'd better pay attention this time.

This will give you a taste.

In general though, if you're content to just print, stick with 2.05. But if there is a feature of RRF3 that you need, or you like to experiment and test, then updating now might be worth it.

You can use the web configurator to get a base config for RRF3 to start with. Then you may need to change a few things here and there manually.

Thanks Phaedrux I'll have a look. I was thinking that in future firmware upgades may need whatever this version needs.

dmbgo

Thanks Phaedrux
Now that I have looked, and had a skim read of the requirements, I realize that to upgrade to V3 is not a task to be undertaken lightly. I think I'll wait until there is a definite reason to upgrade.
Thanks for the link.

@dmbgo Yes RRF3 is going to be the future of the firmware. 2.05.1 is likely to be the last update for the 2.x versions. Which you can look at as being a long term stable release with no new features and maybe bug fixes. For the Duet 2 Wifi and Ethernet and Maestro boards that's not a bad thing since it's very feature rich already. But with things like conditional gcode in RRF3 it will open a lot of possibilities for doing some cool stuff with scripting and automation.

So for the time being, sticking with RRF2 is the sane thing to do if you just wanna print. RRF3 is you wanna mess around.
