Unsolved Duet 3 losing connection whilst printing
-
Hi,
I have just upgraded my Ender 5 Plus with a Duet 3 MB6HC, connected to an existing raspberry pi 3B+ I had already, and have managed to get everything working and tested successfully, with one exception.During printing, I get random error messages on DWC, normally "Warning: Lost connection to Duet (Board is not available (no data response))", but sometimes "Warning: Lost connection to Duet (Board is not available (no header))", and very occasionally "Warning: Controller has been reset".
I can test all functions of the printer using manual controls and G-Code successfully, and it seems to be related to the bed heater, as I only recall seeing these messages with the bed heater on.
Initially I was powering the raspberry pi off the Duet supply (which I would like to get back to), I also tried powering Duet from the RP, however the only thing that has improved it is running them off separate supplies. This has reduced the occurrences of these messages but I still cant get through a simple print without eventually getting the "Controller has been reset" messages.
I have also tried moving the RP and as much ribbon cable out of the electronics case to minimize any potential interference there but it didn't help.
I was running the latest build of all software on the stable branch, today i tried the unstable but getting the same results.
Apart from the Duet, all other parts were installed and working previously with no problems until I changed the board (ie bed, power supply etc were all ok)
Here is my config file - config.g
and here is a screenshot of the console showing an example print

Can you post the results of M122 so we can see your firmware version?
Are you using the SD card that came with the Duet3 for the Pi? You may want to try with a fresh DuetPi image from here: https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/SBC_Setup_for_Duet_3#Section_Step_1_Flash_the_image_file
Powering the pi3 from the Duet should be possible, but will depend on what other USB peripherals you are using with the Pi. When in doubt power the Duet and Pi separately.

Hi @Phaedrux,
Yes I am using that SD Card, but I already re-flashed it because i noticed it came with the lite version, and I am thinking of adding a touchscreen to the pi later (or a paneldue, havent decided yet)
Powering the pi off the duet works fine in all scenarios, I have just noticed that I get the disconnection messages far more often when powered that way.
I don't have anything else connected to my pi, literally just the duet (And currently USB power)M122

Hi All, Any suggestions?

Please try updating to 3.2 final release now that it's out. Did you try a fresh DuetPi installation and update?

That's contradictory. If you're getting disconnected more often, it's not working fine in all scenarios, now is it?
-
@Phaedrux I just tried a fresh re-image and updating to the latest version, and still have the same issue.

I meant in all other scenarios, other than when the bed heater is on

Can you try running the Duet 3 in standalone mode to take the Pi and DSF out of the equation so we can confirm that the board itself is working ok.

@Phaedrux
I have it running in standalone.
I am getting a lot of errors, but now they are HTTP timeouts.
Besides the errors however, all seems to be working properly so far, I got through PID autotune and some other commands successfully (ie heating the bed a few times).
I am going to figure out how to re-mount the duet to try to see if I can get something printed successfully
-
Are you using the same SD card from the Pi in the Duet, or a fresh SD card?
-
@Phaedrux Same SD Card, and same config files (just copied to the correct location and added the M552 command)
-
@Phaedrux A further update, I have successfully finished a small print, so seems to be working well in standalone mode (apart from the HTTP errors)
-
Can you post an M122 from standalone mode?
I assume you got fresh files from the 3.2 release to populate the SD card?Would you also be able to try running a ping command on the Duet IP address for a while and seeing if there are any dropped responses?
I'm surprised the network drops have followed to the standalone Duet.
-
@Phaedrux actually, the timeouts have stopped.
I did 2 test prints, the first took an hour, and I had 51 timeouts, the seconds took 90 minutes and I had none.
I have had it running now again for 30 minutes and also none (no drops on the ping either.When I re-imaged the sd card on the 9th, it seems that the image i downloaded already had the 3.2 release, and I didnt do any further changes to it apart from the config files.

@Phaedrux I am seeing the http drops again today.
Ping is not showing anything, I am continuously getting <1ms over the time, no delays or drops when the HTTP drops occur -
@camcamnz said in Duet 3 losing connection whilst printing:
Same SD Card,
Can you try with a fresh SD card?
-
@Phaedrux I tried with the SD card that came with the Pi (That i had been using previously), and I get exactly the same result
-
I have exactly the same problem and have tried everything with SD card, new image etc.
Does anyone else have any ideas what this could be?
-
I have come a little closer to solving the problem:
Keyboard, mouse, HDMI, USB touchscreen cable all unplugged from the Raspberry Pi 4.
Raspberry Pi 4 has its own power supply
Remote access to the Pi via AnyDesk
Don't click anything in the web GUI while printing-> Lost connection problem is gone
If you click around in the Web GUI (while printing) the problem comes back immediately
Seems to be a problem when the Pi is busy with something else while printing -
