RepRapFirmware 3.3beta1 now available

zapta

The new versions come fast and are typically not backward compatible which makes it a moving target.

Does Duet3d support also older versions? Any thoughts on declaring certain stable version and LTS?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-term_support

My personal interest is a LTS firmware version for the Duet2 Wifi such that if I will have a support issue I will not be asked to upgrade to latest version.

dc42

We don't have the resources to do an LTS version, however we do patch releases to older firmware versions sometimes, for example 2.05.1 and 3.2.2.

This release has made sammyc21s not communicate with the main board. I couldn't find a sammy specific firmware file in the releases. I was previously running the 3.3 beta you shared on dropbox which had sammy specific files. Should I update them to a specific version other than where they are now?
Thanks,
T

Users normally build the SAMMYC21 firmware themselves so they can modify it, however there is a prebuilt one for 3.3beta1 at https://www.dropbox.com/sh/mab3zs4h6bnwq3r/AABYyJanpjalGm2JA9WWUR3aa?dl=0.

@dc42 Thanks again,
I am just using the SAMMYC21 for servo control, working now.

@dc42 For the toolboard v1.0, does the sam21 file need to be upgraded to 2.2? I haven't had luck with being able to update from 2.1 to 2.2

If you mean the bootloader, it doesn't need to be updated.

Has this been packaged for SBC builds? I am getting 3.2.2 still from the unstable feed.

No, because currently it it intended to be used with DWC and DSF 3.2.2. That will change when we release a beta that needs a new DSF.

@dc42 On my 6HC with a PI 4, did a update/upgrade and 3.3beta1 didn't install.

@Stephen6309 see just the two posts above yours. This is by design, you need to upgrade to 3.3b1 manually.

@dc42 during the update of the toolboard, the toolboard did not recover until I power cycled the printer. After that the tool temperature was reported to be at about 90C which seems to indicate the heater got fully powered either while the Duet3 board was already on 3.3b1 and the toolboard still on 3.2.2, or after getting the update before being power cycled ...

@oliof, this (output 0 turns on while up-loading firmware) is a known issue with the first production batch of tool boards using the original bootloader. It can be fixed by installing an updated bootloader. However, I have a report (yet to be investigated) that uploading the bootloader on a tool board doesn't work when running tool board firmware 3.3beta.

oliof

I have an early tool board (v0.6), but i did update the bootloader late last year:

M122 B10
Diagnostics for board 10:
Duet TOOL1LC firmware version 3.3beta1 (2021-02-14 16:34:04)
Bootloader ID: SAMC21 bootloader version 2.1 (2020-11-03b2)

@dc42 is it any different from 3.3beta release available on dropbox? (released 10-15 days ago)

Yes, it's more recent. There is an even more recent one at https://www.dropbox.com/sh/q5uqqkjbmhgvlhq/AACYqG0ynLME9ogoLd1zLB2Xa?dl=0 but it should only be used if you need the new features in it, described at https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/blob/v3-dev/WHATS_NEW_RRF3_Beta.md.

oliof

The deprecation of G10 for setting tool temperature is a bit awkward as PrusaSlicer only recently implemented support for using G10 for RepRapFirmware temperature control ...

chrishamm

@oliof We'll undo the deprecation notice in the next beta, please ignore it for now.

Having a slight problem when I change from 3.2 to 3.3 beta 1 my z-probe does not work

from my config.g file

M574 Z1 S2 ; configure Z-probe endstop for low end on Z

; Z-Probe
M558 P8 C"^!zprobe.in" H3 F500 T9000 ; set Z probe type to unfiltered(8) and the dive height + speeds (inductive probe via optocoupler)
G31 P500 X-32 Y-26 Z3.020 ; set Z probe trigger value, offset and trigger height
M557 X5:235 Y25:235 S15 ; define mesh grid

Is my config a problem I checked the notes and could not see any indication of change

The probe is a highly accurate industrial probe,
