Wanting to try out new features.

BlueDust

How much of a pain would it be to update the Duet3 to 3.2 beta over SBC, and then once 3.2 release is out go back to the InRelease Builds?

Can this be done over SBC or do I have to reflash the firmware manually with a PC when I go back?

Are there any major issues I should be aware of before I decide to jump onto the latest and greatest?

Also note: if 3.2 release would by chance be out in the next 4 or 5 days, I would hold off.

Thanks!

It's typically not too difficult. Instructions for adding the unstable repositories are here.

To roll back, worst case would mean flashing the board manually with Bossa. There were some changes that made rolling back a little more involved with beta 2 but I'm not sure if that's still the case with beta 4. Details here: https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/19257/downgrade-from-3-2beta2-to-3-1-1

I think a RC1 of 3.2 should be out in 4 or 5 days but not a final release just yet.

If that all looks like too much hassle, best to wait.

So... Your saying it is not just as easy as updating the supplier feed back to the sable release and running update/upgrade again?

Meaning, after RC1 and/or 3.2 Stable is released. Not downgrading back to 3.1.1.

Already ran into an issue with moving to the unstable release...

If you wish to use the latest unstable DSF components, you can run the following commands instead:

wget -q https://pkg.duet3d.com/duet3d.gpg
wget -q https://pkg.duet3d.com/duet3d-unstable.list
sudo mv duet3d.gpg /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/
sudo mv duet3d-unstable.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/duet3d-unstable.list
sudo chown root:root /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/duet3d.gpg
sudo chown root:root /etc/apt/sources.list.d/duet3d-unstable.list

pi@duet3:/ $ wget -q https://pkg.duet3d.com/duet3d.gpg
pi@duet3:/ $ wget -q https://pkg.duet3d.com/duet3d-unstable.list
pi@duet3:/ $ sudo mv duet3d.gpg /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/
mv: cannot stat 'duet3d.gpg': No such file or directory

I just took another look at this and realized it never actually downloaded the files. For some reason I was expecting an error if the download failed.

@BlueDust You left out:
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/duet3d.list

Then you can run those commands.

Thanks.
I did complete that step, but didn't mention it above (and probably should have).
My Duet3 has been has been on the non stable release for a few days now. Just updated to RC1. Have other things to work out before I can start printing again.... (need a new heating mat for the bed).
