PanelDue firware
-
I have to update the PanelDue firmware, I have the firmware, the page says I need bossac to install it. I have gone to the page and it leads me to git hub….
No where on the github Do I see anything for Windows it's all Linux. So no idea what to do next any help would be wonderful, thanks.
-
bossac-1.7.0-mingw32.tar.gz is what you're after, that's the Windows build. Click the Shumatech link in the PanelDue documentation, scroll down to binaries, bob's your auntie.
-
Ahh I saw that binary, Thanks! Guess I assumed it would say something like inx64 or winx86. Silly me lol.
-
All I see is the command prompt version, it claims an installer and GUI, how does one get that version
-
The command prompt version is the one to use. There is a link to David's blog from this page which shows how to use it to update the firmware:

Thanks, I was hoping not to have to use command prompt as it always irritates me, but it is what it is I guess. Thanks for the reply.

From the PanelDue Page
"you should already have the bossac program and associated device drivers on your PC"When I get back home, are there drivers I need because there are no drivers just bossac when you travel the given link.
-
You can get the Windows build of bossac from here https://github.com/dc42/RepRapFirmware/tree/dev/Tools/Windows.
-
If you hate the command line, an alternative is BOSSA - that's what I use. But it is probably best to follow dc42's instructions to the letter the first time through.
-
Instructions followed, firmware update successful.
Unfortunately the touch part of the touch screen still doesn't seem to work (I was hoping the firmware would fix it so I didn't mention it before), I took the screen out of the enclosure to make sure it wasn't interfering. I reseated the touch the ribbon coming off the screen to the back of the LCD but still cant seem to press the first dot.
-
Scratch that it works, I but a 5 inch piece of ribbon cable between the PanelDue and the screen. I have seen it done before… Anyway after removing the ribbon cable the calibration went fine.
-
I had issues finding a true 40-pin ribbon cable. All of the ones I ended up ordering were 40-pin, but 1 pin was not installed/used which I believe was the pin that's used for the touchscreen because without the ribbon cable it worked just fine.

Yeah that is what I figured out too, I thought maybe the pin came loose some how, didn't realize it just didn't exsist at all.
Do you know a sounce for an appropriate cable?

So my question is I cannot get the Panel Due to connect to my pc and be recognized. I have looked for a bossa driver or something without any luck. I have downloaded the github bossa command prompt stuff too.
I guess I am missing a driver but not sure where to get it from? The bossa website contains binaries I cannot open. what do I need to open those?

In the "Testing the board and updating the firmware" section,
https://miscsolutions.wordpress.com/paneldue/
Which step of the instructions are you stuck on?
-
I am stuck on getting my pc (windows 10) to recognize the panel due in the device manager.
It shows up as an unsupported driver with an ! in the device manager.
-
Looks like you need the Bossa port device driver. One way of getting this is to install Arduino.
I'll look at adding Bossa port support to the Duet device driver.
-
I have erased and reset my panelDue and my computer recognizes it as a bossa programming port I have attempted to run the command line and it stated bossac.exe is not recognized as and internal or external command…
I went to http://www.shumatech.com/web/products/bossa and downloaded bossac-1.7.0-mingw32.tar.gz due to running windows 10 but the file wont run
I also downloaded the bossac.exe and attempted the command line again with the same "bossac.exe is not recognized"
Is there something Im missing? -
I went through the same process last week.
In the CMD prompt, you need to specify where your bossac.exe program is located.Don't just type bossac.exe.
You need something like c:/users/user/Downloads/bossac.exe -
Thanks I'll try this
