Here's a trick I use to keep using my old iPad 3:

1. Have a windows machine / VM that can access the DWC - I use Chrome
2. Enable Remote access on that machine
3. Install one of the few RDP clients that still run on the old iPad (I use iFreeRDP)
4. Follow these instructions to create a kiosk mode chrome session to DWC from the Windows Box:

5. ?
6. Profit!

You could do VNC / Linux / Mac remote instead (so 1-3 would be different, I can advise if you go that route)

It works pretty well for me...

For sh!ts and giggles I just created a new instance on Lubunu with xrdp, of you dont want to pay the Windows tax.

1. After Lubuntu install, create a dedicated duet user.
2. sudo apt install xrdp
3. search & install google chrome ( I REALLY would like to use firefox, but the resource usage inevitably gets out of hand)
4. edit .xsession when logged in as duet :
   add: exec /usr/bin/google-chrome --kiosk "http://192.168.1.8" (pease note 192.168.1.8 is MY duets IP address, yours will be different)

Frankly it looks better than the windows solution ...

Oh, enable the onscreen keyboard plugin if you ever want to enter gcode
