Orbiter V3.0, Can the "smart" hardware be used with Duet2/RRF?
-
I'm looking to upgrade my old Titan-Aeros. I have 4 Duet2 Delta printers.
The Orbiter V3 seems like the latest and greatest... not that there is a lot of info out there yet.
It says it's optimized for Klipper, that's about all I can find.If I use the V3, can I make full/most use of it with my Duet2? If so how?
-
@Ottobawt I don't think it's RRF compatible
-
@Ottobawt Is it just a filament switch or is it something more?
-
@T3P3Tony there's a toolboards etc on the orbiter

@T3P3Tony
Bunch of info here

I spoke with the designer when the orbiter v3 was being developed and he had no interest in adding RRF support
Owns various duet boards and is the main wiki maintainer for the Teamgloomy LPC/STM32 port of RRF. Assume I'm running whatever the latest beta/stable build is

@jay_s_uk it looks like there are two parts to the electronics, a integrated board for a filament sensor and led etc. And then a toolboard on the back which is external. The toolboard is USB only so not supported but presumably a RRF compatible toolboard could be used with the filament sensor, LEDs etc plugged into it?

@T3P3Tony looks like it.
The schematics for the filament sensor and LED show its not very complicated

Messer Lorenz is more than a little supercilious, right enough.

I'm wondering whether anyone made progress on this topic, connecting a Smart Orbiter 3 to a Duet board. I have a Duet3 MB6HS and am trying to with up the SO3 to it. Specifically, I'm trying to connect the filament sensor and LED. I've got it wired up to IO4, with the yellow/LED being on IO4.out, and brown/filament-sensing being on io4.in. I've got blue/GND and red/+5v wired up to the corresponding pins on IO4 as well. I'm not getting anything from the LED, and the voltage change on the filament sensor doesn't make any sense either. I'm using a multimeter to measure IO4.in to GND, but the voltage change is only 0.1V when I put filament in. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Have you been able to make any sense of this? I just finished mounting the SO3 to my Toolchanger, and now need to tackle the electronic side: printing works, but would be nice to have the filament sensor working. I understand that the LED matrix is not addressable in Duet2 but hopefully the triggers/button can be read?

just in case OP is still interested: I posted my working config here
