Duet 2 heading towards end of life or major revision?
-
Morning,
With the limits of programming space on the Duet 2 now being a consideration is the Duet 2 as a product heading towards end of life (production rather than support) leaving the products as D3 mini and full blown D3 or is a rework approaching the horizon with the same chip as the Duet 3 mini, and perhaps some driver updates?

We don't plan a major revision of Duet 2. We are planning one more minor revision, but it's mostly about using common components with Duet 3 and it won't increase the capabilities. Now that the Duet 3 Mini is in full production, we expect the market to migrate to the Duet 3 family.
We will continue producing Duet 2 for as long as we have OEM customers for it.

@dc42 I take it the minior revision isn't likely to see the Duet 3 mini processor on it with the larger programming space?
I'll prioritise getting one of the D3 mini's in the collection as soon as funds allow.

No, it will have the same processor as now. Although there are versions of the SAM4E processor with more flash memory space, they don't have any more RAM, so not worth upgrading to.
