Warning: Lost connection to Duet - help needed

KCMARINE

Success - after flashing a new SD card with DuetPi.zip I am happy to report that I have no more communication errors and I can print my first calibration cube.

I believe that the issue may have been caused by the additional motion installation for the Logitech webcam

The strange thing is I have this running on another SBC Pi 4 and MB6HC running 3.4.5 on a delta with no issues, guessing it could be a compatibility issue with 3.5 upgrades and then a downgrade, just a stab in the dark.

Thanks again for your support gents - very much appreciated.

@KCMARINE glad you got sorted. I was going to suggest that running all those cables next to the ribbon may be the cause but as you've fixed it I wouldn't worry. If it does however happen again I would consider revisiting your cable routing

I'll mark as solved, but let us know if you continue to have issues.

@Phaedrux

I spoke too soon - errors returned, and the connection issue continues to drop out, causing prints to fail.

I also followed @jay_s_uk advice and cleaned up the wiring moving everything away from the connecting ribbon cable between the SBC Pi 4 and MB6HC

I have added a second power supply via the USB to SBC Pi4 and running another print - will report results - thanks

KCMARINE

Update -

I have not had a connection issue after upgrading the power to the SBC PI 4 - first, I tested by adding an additional power USB from a separate power source, reran the same print, and no connection issues.

Now I am testing by removing the USB power and adding additional power input wires to the SBC PI4 GPIO Pins 2 and 4 for positive, then pins 14 and 20 for ground.

It looks like the issue is resolved - thanks for the help once again.
