how to recompile the firmware.bin

[JoergS5]

@koaldesigns did you install ARM toolchain and the make extension (make that can execute longer lines) and added them to Windows system path (if you use Windows....)?

If you run cmd and execute path, you should see something like
C:\Program Files\GNU ARM Eclipse\Build Tools\2.6-201507152002\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\GNU Tools ARM Embedded\8 2018-q4-major\bin
in the path and if you use Windows 10 and execute "make -v" (without parantheses) in the cmd, it should say GNU Make 4.1 and if you execute "where make" (without parantheses), then it should something similar to C:\Program Files\GNU ARM Eclipse\Build Tools\2.6-201507152002\bin\make.exe

When you've managed to install it and add it to the path, then you have to restart Eclipse to be effective.

Your xtensa error message: in the DuetWiFiSocketServer root directory is a readme with some information about xtensa installing. xtensa is the brand of the ESP8266 chip. For RRF3 you don't need to compile the WifiServer project.

I compiled a firmware for @koaldesigns in the mean time (but not without stumbling around a bit trying to build from head).

[JoergS5]

@oliof Thanks for information. The first time I wanted to build the firmware I had a lot of problems, but the more often I build, the easier it gets.

[oliof]

Step 14 in BuildInstructions.md would benefit from a bit of wordsmithing. I will take a gander. Also, building from head requires you to switch to the dev branch of DuetWifiSocketServer due to the upcoming transmit power control.

Using the 3.1.0 / 3.1.1 tagged commits makes it a bit easier (-:

@koaldesigns
Hello everyone ! thanks to dc42 for the last help on the homing of the 4 hidden axis! I managed to recompile the firmware with the help that everyone gave me [rrf 3 lpc on skr v1.3] lately I had little time, the homing on 4 axis hidden by problems !!! maybe some bag on rrf3 lpc? in loading the new line I noticed that it was missing ----; ----- at the end of the line, it made no sense to me !!!!!

now i bought a duet 3 6ch and i don't know how to recompile the firmware to add the hidden 4 axis !! can you help me ? or tell me if I find documentation and where? if I can help you too but I think you know more about me on rrf for duet !!!

See https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/blob/dev/BuildInstructions.md. Development of RRF is currently on the v3.02-dev branch.

Please upgrade the firmware on your Duet 3 to version 3.1.1 and check all is OK before you try to install your own firmware.

duet 3 6ch arrived from 1 day I'm connecting it to the scara !! all different from rrf lpc on skr v1.3 ..... m122 tells me this

version 3.01-rc9 !!! I don't know how to update to 3.1.1 is there a guide? and T: -273.1 can I use this 100k thermistor on duet 3 6ch? it went on rrf3 lps + skr v1.3

I have no idea how to update the firmware !!! thank you all !!!

[dc42]

Download https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/releases/download/3.1.1/Duet2and3Firmware-3.1.1.zip, then upload it to the Duet from the System page of Duet Web Control. More at https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Installing_and_Updating_Firmware.

Yes you can use a 100K thermistor.

[tony73]

@dc42

sorry but an example of config.g how to set up a 100k thermistor could you give an example or is there a guide? do I need an expansion card for this thermistor? thank you!!!

[Phaedrux]

@tony73 https://configtool.reprapfirmware.org/Start

Have you seen the config tool yet? You can choose your sensor there and set the values and it will generate a full config set for you to further modify.

Thermistors do not require any other hardware.

[tony73]

@Phaedrux

hello the problem and I don't understand which code to put in the web configurator for that type of thermistor !!! I'm going randomly and nothing changes simplify 3d always marks (T: -273.1)

[tony73]

@tony73

problem solved now goes !! in the duet 3 6ch there was the firmware 3.01 rc9 I reloaded 3.1.1 maybe that was the problem !!!

[Phaedrux]

So you've got it sorted out now?

[tony73]

@Phaedrux

hi yes I have solved it now with version 3.1.1 the temperature is seen by the thermistor 100k !!! question is it possible to load the rrf 2.05 version on duet 3 6ch? because scara on version rrf 2.05 with G0 x-200 y-200 reversed the arm like the scara helios and could go in the unreachable area !!! but with the rrf version 3.1.1 it doesn't go anymore !!!! thank you !!

example scara helios from minute 0: 50 to minute 2: 02 inversion in the unreachable area !!

[Phaedrux]

@tony73 No it's not possible to run RRF2 on the Duet 3.

I'm not familiar with any changes to scara movements. I suggest you post a new thread with that question.

[tony73]

@Phaedrux

hi now everything works! also the inversion of the arm to print in the unreachable area as scara helios !! used rrf 3 lpc with skr v1.3 I had this card and I took the opportunity to try rrf3 with scara !! since it works well I bought duet 3 6ch. I would like to recompile the firmware to add this in scara kinematic cpp "" "motorpos [3] = irntf (-1 * (theta + psi) * stepspermm [3]);" "" "" "to have a fourth hidden axis that keeps the extruder always parallel to axis an axis. with rrf 3 lpc and this very detailed guide https://www.jayuk.org/compiling-and-running-reprapfirmware-on-an-skr-1-4-and-other-lp17xx -boards / and a bit of luck I had recompiled the firmware. I am little expert of this thing I would like to recompile with windows the firmware and try it with duet3 6ch. kindly @ dc42 gave me the link to do it
https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/blob/dev/BuildInstructions.md but I can't prepare everything, it is possible to have help video link or anything else would be fine !!!

[dc42]

@tony73, if you tell us what you are having trouble with, we will help you.

Can you explain in a little more detail your extension to the SCARA kinematics? If it is generally useful, I could add it as a new kinematic type.

[tony73]

@dc42
thank you for the answer I have to fix the 4th axis on scara cleaner and I will make a video to show you what I would like to do, thanks again !!
