Duet 3 MB 6HC and PI 4B working, next step?

Edkirk

@bearer OK, thanks. This is my first time to use a Pi —— call me clueless.

I am a fan of Duet, I see advantages of the Duet 3 and Pi system but it looks like a waste of time and money if there isn’t support for the product. The Duet/Pi combination appears to be somewhat proprietary requiring a unique knowledge of both.

What files go were in the Pi file tree and how do I get them there?

The Duet instructions address the issue of different config files for different machines but don’t provide any help......

Thanks, Ed

@Edkirk you upload the config files through DWC exactly the same way as you do a duet 2 wifi/ethernet or maestro.
How is that confusing or any different to any other duet board?

You used Duet Web Control, just like you would on a Duet 2. It might have rendered differently due to screen size and touch screen, but the function is the same.

I wouldn't use the tiny screen for initial configuration. I would want to connect with a full computer, browser, keyboard and mouse and access the DWC as you would with the Duet2, etc. Then once it's all up and running the smaller pi attached screen is fine for monitoring prints and basic control.

It's really not. You're just looking to make it more difficult than it needs to be. Once the pi has the duet image on it, it automatically starts the duet processes and when the duet is connected it doesn't require you to do anything else on the pi. You connect to the Duet web interface from a web browser exactly as before. That web browser can be on the pi if you want, but it can be from anywhere.

@bearer Yes it is rendered differently and I did not recognize it.

Simple question with a simple answer, that’s why I ask the experts.

Thanks, Ed

@Phaedrux Thanks for the help, I managed to figure it out on my own.

I am satisfied with my setup, not the problem. Already contacted E3D for a quote on their printer and looking forward to my next project.

Thanks, Ed
