      Double check your cable between pi and duet.

      Can you post your config.g?

              Just as an FYI I renamed daemon.g and tried it that way and it didn't work.

                Was it working before at any point? Did anything recently change?

                Could you try a fresh image of Duet pi and updating again?

                https://pkg.duet3d.com/DuetPi-lite.zip

                https://pkg.duet3d.com/DuetPi.zip

                Can you check what firmware is installed on the Duet via USB?

                  Reseated the ribbon cable...no difference.

                  No, it's never connected (duet status: Off) when the pi has been running before the Duet has power. Just to be clear: when duet is powered and I reboot the Pi or restart the duetcontrolservice it will connect.

                  Duet 3 firmware is 3.2.2 (read via usb)

                  Redid the DuetPi image to SD card (image verified). Had the duet off and booted the pi to go through the first time initialization. Turned the duet on and it connected. Turned the duet off and waited a little bit and turned it back on and it didn't connect. Turned off duet and rebooted Pi, turned on the duet and it connected.

                  It looks like it will do it the first time the pi is rebooted but not after that. Also did the apt upgrades after the above, also no change.

                    Is it possible that after the first time it waits to connect and then the duet is off that it doesn't check/wait again?

                      DSF does indeed wait for the Duet 3 to up and ready. In your case it looks like the might be dodgy connection between the Duet and the Pi which could cause the warnings from your log (all 0x00 or 0xFF could mean a timing issue on the TfrRdy pin).

                      Can you post the output of M122 when connected over USB to the Duet (with the Pi attached)?

                        With Pi attached and running and Duet off.
                        Plugged in the USB cable to the Duet, waited a few minutes

                          Oh, and the above message was with pi dwc saying the Duet status is Off.

                          And just incase you want to see what it says when the status is Idle:

                            @BeosDoc Can you take a look at the syslog file (/var/log/syslog) and see if you have any lines that look similar to:

                             systemd[1]: duetcontrolserver.service: Start request repeated too quickly.

                                If you get that message it basically means that systemd will no longer restart the duetcontrolserver service.

                                The systemd documentation is a little tricky to follow but this message is generated if the service needs to be restarted more than a certain number of times over a period of time. In this case I think the defaults are 5 times in 10 seconds. I think this can happen if the Duet is turned off and the transfer ready pin floats high.

                                Given that the main purpose of the SBC is to talk to the Duet I'm not sure it really makes sense to disable the service in this way. If you are happy making changes to the rPi config files (worse case you just reinstall everything), you can tell systemd not to disable a service in this situation by adding the following line:

                                StartLimitIntervalSec=0
                                

                                to the [unit] part of the service control file. In this case that file is:

                                /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/duetcontrolserver.service
                                

                                if you modify to look like this:

                                [Unit]
                                Description=Duet Control Server
                                StartLimitIntervalSec=0
                                
                                [Service]
                                ExecStart=/opt/dsf/bin/DuetControlServer
                                TimeoutStopSec=60
                                Restart=always
                                Type=notify
                                User=dsf
                                Group=dsf
                                UMask=0002
                                CapabilityBoundingSet=CAP_SYS_PTRACE CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH CAP_SYS_TIME
                                AmbientCapabilities=CAP_SYS_PTRACE CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH CAP_SYS_TIME
                                
                                [Install]
                                WantedBy=sysinit.target
                                

                                Then the action that disables the service should be turned off. Note that after making the change you should run the following commands:

                                pi@duet3:~ $ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
                                pi@duet3:~ $ sudo systemctl restart duetcontrolserver
                                

                                May be a good idea to make a copy of the file before you edit it.

                                I've seen the service be disabled when updating firmware on the STM32/LPC port of RRF (that I look after). In that case flashing new firmware is different to the Duet and the firmware restart takes longer which can sometimes trigger systemd to disable the control server. Making the above change seems to fix that problem for me. It would be interesting to see if it helps with your problem.

                                  Reseated the ribbon cable...no difference.

                                  Do you have another ribbon cable to test with or possibly make some jumper cables?

                                  I've asked christian to take a look at this. Regardless, the Duet and Pi should be making a connection so the retry shouldn't come into play. Seems like either a bad cable or damaged pins.

                                    I don't have that file in /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants

                                    I did find it in /etc/systemd/system/sysinit.target.wants/

                                      No other ribbon cable, just the one supplied with your board and I have reseated it. I have short jumper wires I can use. I want to verify the required pins: 19,21,22,23,34 and 20 for ground. Is pin 17 (3.3V) and/or Pin 2/4 (5v) required? SBC has it's own power supply and the duet no jumpers on 5V -> SBC and also SBC ->5V

                                        @Phaedrux My understanding is that problem occurs when the rPi is started but the Duet board does not have any power. In that situation it is possible that the duetcontrolserver service has been suspended (due to the too many restarts), before the Duet board is even started. If that happens there is no way that the Duet is ever going to connect, because it has nothing to connect to. Certainly if that "duetcontrolserver.service: Start request repeated too quickly" message is in the syslog it would indicate that the service is being suspended. Either way the change is easy to make and then test to see if it helps with the problem.

                                        @BeosDoc That's odd, perhaps it has been moved at some point, my rPi image was created probably a year or so ago (but has been updated continuously since then).

                                          To be honest I'm not sure about the 3.3 and 5v pins. Try without if you're short on jumper wires.

                                            I'll try the jumpers first. Then I'll try the changes to that file.
