upgrading from duet2wifi to duet3 hc6 files needed
-
Sorry if this has been addressed before. I currently run a duet2wifi and expansion board and have a duet3 hc6 to swap in but am unsure which files will need to be transferred from the 2 to the 3 to maintain proper functionality? Any assistance would be appreciated

The easiest way to do this will be to copy all the system files to your desktop/laptop. then recreate them on the 6HC as needed.
Because some of the ports will be different, you will have to edit some of the config.g to make this transition, but its not very painful, just a bit tedious. This will most likely be Pin names of the fans, heaters, etc.Honestly I would recommend starting with the generic welcome tutorial on the docs.duet3d.com and update all the Gcode necessary

Starting with the config tool and getting something as close to your setup as possible with that and then comparing it to what you had for the duet 2 would be my choice.

I went through the initial configuration tool last night and got it close then started transferring specific code from 2 to 3. And it looks like I have most of it.
One other question I have is that my x/y motors are open loop, one of the reasons for the upgrade, and now has a variable for the homing distance how does this var get populated? Is it directly from firm wear?
Unfortunately I'm not at computer right now but I will post code tonight. -
It's taking the bed size from M208 from the object model.
