Firmware Update
-
There is no need to install Eclipse to update Panel Due unless you want to change the functionality. Just download the binary from https://github.com/dc42/PanelDueFirmware/releases and follow the instructions at https://miscsolutions.wordpress.com/paneldue/.

I second the suggestion of getting a better way to update the firmware on PanelDue. Ideally it should be possible to do it from DWC, as we can for everything else, but I understand how this could be challenging. Breaking out bossac should be limited to special cases where something went wrong, not the normal way.
Cheers,

Me third. I agree. Although having Duet be a work in progress has been a challenge at times, I certainly appreciate all the hard work that goes into it and we are all working together to make Duet the best out there! Thanks David!

How do I know which version I have?

Assuming you mean firmware version, press "Setup" - the version number is at the top of that screen

I did not, I meant hardware version, that link has files for each size and version panel due. I found a site differentiating the first two to know I have a v2, but idk what a v3 looks like haha

It is written on the board.
-
How long have you had your board I very much doubt there are any V3 Boards out in the wilds yet the Github page does say it is forthcoming and using a different display?
-
Yes the PCB revision is written on the back of the board (1.0, 1.1, 2.0 or 3.0). Version 3.0 boards started shipping a few days ago. They work with the same displays as the previous versions, although there is also an experimental build (7.0E) for a different sort of display that we are experimenting with.

I understand that updating the firmware doesn't require the steps in the OP.
But changing the functionality does.
(not that I am going this route, but in case I ever wanted to)It would be good to know the answer to
Download and install Eclipse Neon 2.
-Okie Dokie, no download link, so head to google and find this. http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/eclipse-packages/ Which of the 159 versions do I need? Who knows.Since it is documented, I think it should be made claer
Many Thx

The one you need is Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers. I'm using Eclipse Oxygen now. I'll update the readme file.
-
For the v1.1 paneldue board, which release 1.17 file is the correct version for the 7" screen? I only see V2 and V3 listed. Is the older revision of the boards limited to 1.16 revision?
-
The V2 file will work on V1 and V1.1.

Thanks David!
