I need help with upgrading firmware on Duet 3 + SBC
-
Thank you @bearer and @ChrisP, I continue trying to get this going. I am also crimping JST ZH sockets for the first time and that may have add to my frustration level.

Yeh, crimping is rarely fun. Have you got an Engineer PA-21 for those pins? It's not exactly cheap, but I felt the cost was worth saving the frustration!

Engineer PA-21
thats a wee bit too large for the JST ZH on the tool board, but good for the VH series used on the motors and heaters.
(the engineer 09 or iwis 2820m is okay for ZH) -

Good luck with those

@bearer I am using engineer No.11. 0.7-2.2. I will look into the crimpers you suggest.

enginner docs says to use the 1.0 die, so you should be covered?
-
Yes, I crimp with the 1.3 first then lightly use the 1.0 so that it fits into the slot of the plug. The crimp on the insulation is the most challenging.
-
Maybe you're using too thick a wire?
-
Might be alittle big.

Thanks for the help, I am now up and running on RC5 with duetsoftwareframework 1.2.5.0. one of my mistakes was having the stable list still active.
