End Stop switch status gone after Firmware update
-
Hello,
I am new to Duet. I have a 6HC that I'm configuring for the first time for a custom printer I built. I have the SBC set up (Pi 3b+) and can successfully access the web interface from chromium by browsing to http://duet3.local/. I SSHed into the SBC and ran update and upgrade per the instructions. The first thing I want to get working is my end stop switches. I noticed you can tell the state of the end stop switches in the machine-specific settings on the far right of the web UI. I plugged a switch into IO_0, VCC is plugged into 5V_EXT, GND is connected to GNC and the signal cable is plugged into io0.in. The end switch puts 0 volts on the signal pin when activated and sits at ~4v otherwise. When I depress the switch, the LED on the switch PCB lights up.I am reading the firmware setup guide which stated there's no configuration on here until you put one on. Per the document, I headed to the RepRapFirmware Configuration Tool and did the initial setup for custom confituration. I selected my 6HC board, then continued with the configuration. In the IO Mapping section, I selected io0.in for the X drive input pin and set it to "active-low". At the end of the wizard, I downloaded the zip file, went to the webUI and clicked System, then clicked "Upload system files". The files uploaded successfully but I never received the prompt to install the firmware. The manual says if it didn't ask to install the firmware that there was an issue. I powered off the duet, powered it back on, then web back to the web UI. When I went back and browsed to machine-specific settings, the end stop switch status on the right is missing. Does anyone have ideas on what I should try next?
Board: Duet 3 MB6HC (MB6HC)
DSF Version: 3.2.2
Firmware: RepRapFirmware for Duet 3 MB6HC 3.2.2 (2021-02-11)Thanks!

If you're on 3.2.2 you're already up to date.
The endstop status section has been moved to a plugin.

@phaedrux Thanks! I will check out that plugin. It looks like the firmware now gets installed automatically when you upload the files without asking you to install it as well.
