Issues addressing Duet 0.6
-
I think the first problem that I need to address is that the board keeps resetting itself since I have flashed firmware 1.21 to it.
I previously thought it was just the fan dropping in and out but having tried to connect to Pronterface I can see that the board will initially connect and then after about 30 seconds it seems to disconnect. All the LED's go out on the board, the hotend fan shuts down and then everything powers up again. This process then just keeps cycling.
I get the following message on Pronterface:
I've tried re-flashing the board but I get exactly the same problem.
I don't think the board stays powered up for long enough before resetting to even try to connect to the router.
Any ideas please?

After the board has reset itself, run M122 and look for the "Last reset reason" in the report. If it's a software reset, also look at the "last software reset" data.
There is a known issue with recent firmware versions on Duet 06/085 that I have been unable to reproduce or track down. It causes resets on some systems when DHCP is used.
You could also try the just-released 1.21.1 firmware.

VICTORY IS MINE!@dc42 @ayudtee @Phaedrux thanks for all your help.
@dc42 I had come to the conclusion it was a comms issue causing the reset as I had traced the fault to only occurring when the Ethernet port was connected to the network.
I've given the board a static IP address and that seems to have cured the problem. I'm afraid I was unable to look at the "last reset reason", the board just didn't want to report back.
I will give the new firmware a go at some point, first of all I want to finish putting the printer together and try to get it to print something!
Thanks again
Jon
