Duet2 update from v1.21 to v3.01 necessary?
-
Reactivating printer after almost a year is storage. Hobbyist printer running Duet2 wifi on v.1.21.
Control one bed, one extruder, X and Y...pretty simple.
Documentation has multistep process for update.
Is it worth the trouble to go first to 3.0, then 3.1, then reconfigure?
What would the main benefits of running 3.1 be?
I'm very amateur with the firmware stuff...any "watch-outs" when doing the change?
Thank you. -
It's not necessary, no. If it works, it works. It is a dead end however, no updates, no new features, no bug fixes.
I would suggest that at the very least updating to 2.05.1 just for the bug fixes and updated web interface.
I actually just described the update process yesterday here: https://forum.duet3d.com/post/186216
The process I would use to update would be to go to 2.0 first by uploading the 2.0 bin file and then sending M997 to update the firmware.
Then upload the complete 2.05.1 zip file which should update the firmware, wifi server, and web interface.
If you wanted to go to RRF3 you could then upload the zip file for 3.0 and then 3.1.1 and be up to date.
Upload the zip files as is, don't extract them first.
The config file would need to updated either way and I would suggest just getting a fresh config file set from the online config tool and going from there regardless of if you want to stick with RRF2 or RRF3.
