      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.
