Duet 2 latest firmware

A Former User

2.05.1 is the latest of the version 2 of the firmware.

version 3 brings more features, and is availbale as 3.0 release and newer release candidates - unless you specifically need features offered by RRF3 I'd go with 2.05.1 as the configuration changes to RRF3 can be non-trivial and there are imo still a few kinks to iron out of RRF3.

as always read the whats new files before updating.

If you are getting too many false positive on the piezo you could try to back off the sensitivity resistor a bit. Be careful, that little potentiometer is fragile.

With the old kind with a separate piezo element it is a bit of an art to tighten the screws to get the right squeeze on the piezo. The Orion is a lot easier to use.

The Z parameter to G31 looks way off. For a probe that senses with the nozzle it should be very close to 0 (zero). I run with Z-0.1.

And the Precision Piezo likes fairly high probing speed. I use F600 for M558.

Thanks, for the moment rest in version 2.... i have updated to 2.05.01.
Do you know if support for version 2, will be dropped?

@bondus

Thanks too,

for the moment its working, no false positives. Now i have:

; Z-Probe
M558 P8 I1 R0.9 F600 Z1; set Z probe type to effector and the dive height + speeds
G31 P500 X0 Y0 Z-0.1; set Z probe trigger value, offset and trigger height

The results

COMPENSATION

Number of points: 25
Probing radius: 75 mm
Probe area: 176.7 cm²
Maximum deviations: -0.352 / 0.138 mm
Mean error: -0.060 mm

The bulk of development going forward will be on RRF3. RRF2 may get some bug fixes if anything big comes up, but no new features.

For the time being, it's probably best to stick with 2.05.1

Just wondering if 2.05.1 is still the firmware to stick to?

Currently here:
Board: Duet WiFi 1.02 or later
Firmware: RepRapFirmware for Duet 2 WiFi/Ethernet 2.05.1 (2020-02-09b1)
Duet WiFi Server Version: 1.23

@Mogal Things have progressed a great deal since then and RRF3 is the way to go.

If you still have access to DWC. Upload these 3 zip files, one at a time. Don't extract them. Reboot after each.
https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/releases/download/2.05.1/Duet2Firmware-2.05.1.zip
https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/releases/download/3.0/Duet2and3Firmware-3.0.zip
https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/releases/download/3.2/Duet2and3Firmware-3.2.zip
That will get your firmware and DWC up to date.

For your config, might be a good idea to run through the configurator tool and generate a fresh set for RRF3 and re-add any customizations you may have.

Thanks, is it really that easy? I thought I read there where some big changes that needed to be done? I'll look into it a little more while I download and wait for the printer to finish printing it's 12hour print!

Phaedrux

@Mogal well if you generate a new config all of the changes are done for you. Any custom things would need to be redone manually, but it gives you a good starting point.

I have the same setup as you and (duet Wifi) and a Piezo. Just did the upgrade to the 3.2. Had some minor issues (mainly the piezo command) that the guys here helped me out with. I like the new web interface but all in all relatively painless. had to go to v3 then to v3.2 to get it to work.
