FW 2.01 to current path

tsitalon1

Sorry guys, been printing away for a long time and lost track of time.

Appears my firmware is WAY out of date, but I really don't have any problems really..

Duet 2 Wifi installed FW versions:
Firmware Version: 2.01(RTOS) (2018-07-26b2)
WiFi Server Version: 1.21
Web Interface Version: 1.21.2-dc42

What's my upgrade path here (pre-reqs, many small updates or straight to current, etc)?
Any major improvements or just incremental changes?

@tsitalon1 upgrade to 2.0.5, then 3.0, then 3.1.1

A lot of changes along the way. RRF 3 requires extensive changes to config.g, so much so that it's likely better to start from scratch. The GitHub releases page lists all the changes and links to pertinent documentation.

Yikes, ok, guess I need to do it

Assuming if things go haywire, I can simply restore my current bin AND config files to restore current functionality right?

Or is there some specific workflow to restore because I'm so far out?

successfully on 3.11:

Board: Duet 2 WiFi (2WiFi)
Firmware: RepRapFirmware for Duet 2 WiFi/Ethernet 3.1.1 (2020-05-19b2)
Duet WiFi Server Version: 1.23

Applied some config.g chnages per doc, bed and hotend heaters and themistors working as before.

However I seem a bit lost with getting my BLtouch working, old code:
; Z-Probe
M574 Z1 S2 ; Set endstops controlled by probe
M307 H3 A-1 C-1 D-1 ; Disable heater on PWM channel for BLTouch
M558 P9 H5 F300 T2000 ; Set Z probe type to bltouch and the dive height + speeds
G31 P25 X34 Y0 Z2.05 ; Set Z probe trigger value, offset and trigger height
M557 X15:205 Y15:205 S20 ; Define mesh grid

Currently wired as:
Duet Z-probe in
Duet Z-probe Gnd
Expansion board connectors:
pin 1 - +5v
pin2 - Gnd
pin 8 - Heater 3

losing my mind, or having a hard time figuring the code for RRF 3.X to get this working, a bit of help would be appreciated.

Try changing your Z-Probe section to this:

; Z-Probe
M574 Z1 S2 ; Set endstops controlled by probe
M950 S0 C"exp.heater3" ; create output/servo port 0 attached to heater 3 pin on expansion connector
M558 P9 C"^zprobe.in" H5 F300 T2000 ; Set Z probe type to bltouch and the dive height + speeds
G31 P25 X34 Y0 Z2.05 ; Set Z probe trigger value, offset and trigger height
M557 X15:205 Y15:205 S20 ; Define mesh grid

You'll also have to change the P parameter of your deployprobe.g and retractprobe.g files to P0.

So they'll look something like:

; deployprobe.g
; called to deploy a physical Z probe
;
M280 P0 S10 ; deploy BLTouch

Thank you!

Homing is working in all axis' now, finalized probe section looks like this:

; Z-Probe
M574 Z1 S2 ; Set endstops controlled by probe
M558 P9 C"^zprobe.in" H5 F300 T2000
M950 S0 C"exp.heater3"
M280 P0 S80 ; set 80deg servo position on GPIO port 0
G31 P25 X34 Y0 Z2.05 ; Set Z probe trigger value, offset and trigger height
M557 X15:205 Y15:205 S20 ; Define mesh grid

So now heaters, thermistors, and end stops working... moving on to other changes.

Thanks again!
