HELP
-
DuetTest is the name of the printer as defined in the config.g file that came on the SD card from the factory.
Off probably means it's not connected to VIN?
Now that you're connected I suggest you go through the firmware update process I outlined earlier and then get a config file set from the web config generator tool.
-
Well put the AC to her and no smoke no fire the X Y stop switches work on the DWC so thats good. Are there any indicatores LED to show the Duet 5 is connected and or working
-
Not sure off hand for LEDs but you can send m122 and it should say if a duex is detected.
-
i remember seeing that earlier in the procedure but can't find it again
-bash: M122: command not found
is the response i get now -
You'd be sending that in the gcode console in the web interface. Or over USB terminal. It will spit back a diagnostic report.
-
WOW that shows lots of stuff, its connected
-
in reference to earlier update firmware
in the web interface systems tabnot sure where you are talking about i see upload a couple times and only system editors
-
@camassey it’s the big blue ‘upload files’ button under ‘file upload for /sys and /www folders’.

thanks.....i hit the button it goes to my downloads i pick the duet firmware file and it opens it up
so what part of this do i use and how
-
@camassey looks like you have extracted the zip file. Don’t. As @Phaedrux said:
Download this zip file. Don't extract it.
https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/releases/download/2.05.1/Duet2Firmware-2.05.1.zipYou’re browser may be extracting it automatically. Turn that off if you can, so that you have a file “ Duet2Firmware-2.05.1.zip” downloaded, then upload that in DWC.

OHYA...that went smooth when you do it right.Do you have to hit the apply setting tab in the lower left?
-
@camassey I don’t think so. It should upload and extract all the files, then prompt for a reboot to install the firmware. If it doesn’t, send M997 S0 to install firmware update.

Excellent
going for three in a row here i think the next thing is the printers parameters.This is a Railcore kit build and the first thing they say is to My guess is this will put in all the specs.Is it the same procedure as the update was. -
@camassey I updated a Duet 2 Ethernet from 2.02 > 3.0 > 3.1.1 the other day, went seamlessly.
I can’t say for certain, because I can’t see the links, but yes, you can usually upload config files in DWC. Or remove the SD card, then copy the files over on your computer. Make sure the network settings are correct in config.g before you restart.

Thanks worked great
did all my stepper and limits test all good and have come to a grinding halt by a little BLTouch.On power up it does its up and down a couple time then stops in the up position with a solid on LED.
Z probe reads zero.Put in first command and pin drops LED is off, probe still zero.When you touch it probe it reads 1000 and the led starts to flash pin will go up and nothing works after that flashing LED -
@camassey If it's flashing it's probably gone into error state. When you touch it be careful not to force the pin at all. Just a slight touch will make it retract.
What firmware version are you running now? The M280 P3 commands listed in your photo will work in 2.x but not in 3.x as the P3 part will likely now be P0.
-
being very gentle with the probe, when you start to touch it there is a small amount of resistance ...like a magnetic feed back
is this the firmware -
Does the movement of the Z axis halt when you touch the pin? That's the important thing.
If you test it as actual homing you can reduce the Z axis motor current a bit in M906 and have your hand near the power switch to kill it if the homing fails and it looks like the nozzle will hit the bed. As described in the static test in this link: https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Test_and_calibrate_the_Z_probe
-
The above procedure produces the touch dropping and the bed dropping about 10mm

with this in the lower corner
