DWC UPDATE PROBLEMS WITH NEW DUET 3 6HC

Gianluca · 4 Nov 2021, 10:35

I have made the switch from a Duet 2 wi-fi to a Duet 3 6hc (v.1.01a) and have some problems with DWC updates.
I started Duet 3 with the SBC setup, but for now I prefer to use the stand alone mode.
The motherboard came with FW. 3.3 and DWC 3.3.
I have updated the motherboard firmware to the latest 3.4 B5 but I am having difficulty updating the DWC to version 3.4 B5.
The printer is configured and fully functional.
As for the Duet 2 I updated all through DWC 3.3. Mainboard firmware and Paneldue firmware is upgraded without problems, but when I update the DWC and go from 3.3 to 3.4b5 the update is finalized regularly but as soon as I update the web page, it returns to the previous ver. 3.3.
In addition, the plug-ins don't work.
I also had the same DWC update problem in SBC mode.
Thanks for the suggestions that will come.

@gianluca how are you updating DWC?

I would get the DuetWebControl-SD.zip from here:
https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/releases/tag/3.4.0beta5

~~The use the "upload system Files" in DWC -> system to upload it and install it.~~

~~If that does not work then you can put the contents of the zip in the "www" directory on the SD card using your PC.~~

As @jay_s_uk says use the unstable branch to update in SBC mode.

@jay_s_uk ahh yes good spot! I missed the SBC bit.

Now I'm run stand alone mode, I have already tried to upgrade both from DWC, and also by copying the DWC folder downloaded from Gitub directly into the WWW folder of the SD.
The update is done, I see the updated DWC, but when I reload the page in the browser it returns to the previous DWC 3.3 ...

@gianluca sounds like a cache issue. try clearing the cache or a different browser to confirm

Yes, it could be a Firefox error... in addition, I also have an error on the execution of DWC the internal plugins, this evening I write exactly the error found ...
I also did various tests with SD of different sizes and with various formatting mode.

I have successfully updated the DWC through Microsoft Edge. It worked stably. With Duet 2 and Mozilla Firefox there have never been any update problems. Anyway problem solved.
