Duet 2 WiFi error: unknown temperature sensor channel
-
Hi all,
This is my first post to the forum, as I have generally been able to use your advice to resolve my many issues with the Duet so far.
The latest in my long series of problems happened yesterday, and I dont know how to resolve it. I had finally managed to get my motors at least moving, and decided to add my extruder (which I had working previously). When I set the extruder to heat I got the message "Error: Temperature reading fault on heater 1: unknown temperature sensor channel" and the current temp was reading as 2000.0 C. I captured a screenshot below.
I have tried different thermistors and heaters, and have also tried the different heater ports etc, but no joy.
Below is a sanitized copy of my config.g file (if it helps):

I really am hoping someone can help me as I am fast approaching the end of my patientlce with this board. I don't mind a learning curve, but I just seem to keep going from one problem to the next. I even had to do some troubleshooting to join the forum and make this post
I look forward to hearing from you!

How do you have things currently connected to the board?
Your config.g looks ok provided you're actually using RRF3. Can you send M115 in the console to see the currently installed firmware version?
-
Thanks for responding!
After reading your post I ran M115 and found something quite interesting. Yesterday, I upgraded the Duet to firmware 3.1.1, or so I thought; running M115 I can see that the firmware is actually 2.05.1:
I also noticed my Paneldue was showing the following after I tried to upgrade to 3.1.1 again today:
The upgrade hasn't worked, and I am confused about the paneldue constantly showing 'Connecting'...
Do I need to reset the board or do something differently?
Also, forgive the mess, but this is the current wiring state (i have removed endstops to make the picture clearer):

@Harrynice Upgrade to RepRapFirmware 3.0 first, then to 3.1.1. Due to the size of the firmware, the in-app-programmer (IAP - which writes the new firmware over the old firmware while the board is running) needs to be updated by doing this intermediate step. This is also explained in the update notes (See "Upgrading to this release from RepRapFirmware 2.x" here https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/releases/tag/3.1.1 ) :
Users of RepRapFirmware 2.x cannot upgrade directly to this release because the binaries for the Duet 2 series are too large for the Duet 2 IAP programs. So you must upgrade to RepRapFirmware 3.0 first, then you can upgrade immediately to version 3.1.1. Alternatively, you can use Bossa over USB to upgrade directly to RepRapFirmware 3.1.1 but in this case you will need to upload DWC 3.1.1 and the appropriate IAP file separately.
RepRapFirmware 3.0 is here: https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/releases/tag/3.0
You should be able to upgrade just by uploading file Duet2and3Firmware-3.0.zip into /sys on the SD card via Duet Web Control, then do the same again (after it's updated) with 3.1.1.Ian

Amazing! It is now working again! Thank you so much for pointing this out - I could have sworn I did the upgrade to 3.0.0 first, but apparently not!
Looks like PEBKAC and issue now appears to be solved, so please accept a virtual beer from me :).
