@jay_s_uk I don't have the orignal cable unfortunately. The ethernet just runs to a pass-through port on the case, I will use it in future but for now I don't have ethernet on this side of the house.

I'm worried I won't be able to get this board to work and will need to explore other options.

If so, some things I am considering are:

• Getting the board repaired (if its possible / economical).
• Getting a second hand 6HC to slot in where the current one is.
• Replacing the board with a BTT Octo or Mellow Super or similar and running Klipper or RRF - @jay_s_uk is this something you would recommend?

Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

@ceej I decided to try flashing the firmware again on the duet just to make sure they are both the same.

I flashed it to the same beta version.

After trying many times, I was only able to get a response from YAT once for M115:

3.5beta2 ELECTRONICS: Duet 3 MB6HC v1.0 or earlier FIRMWARE_DATE: 2023-02-08 17:43:01<LF>ok<LF>

I am still not able to connect via DWC when I remove the SD and then power on the Pi and Duet.

The board is also showing up with the yellow warning triangle in device manager every now and then, but installing the firmware in device manager says it is up to date.

@chrishamm thank Chris,

I'm sorry I think I'm lost. I have checked the Pi and it is running 3.5.0~beta.2.

To check the Duet, is it correct to say:

• Connect the USB cable from the Pi to the Duet
• Only have an SD installed in the Pi, not the Duet
• Run M122 (I used cutecom)

If so, when I run the command, nothing appears. It should populate instantly after clicking send right?

@Phaedrux thanks, I have just attempted the test and got 1 and 0, I also attempted the test immediately below and got the normal FF.. DEAD BEEF BAAD FOOD response

@jay_s_uk I've now got a new cable and unfortunately I am still having the transfer ready pin error. Is there something else I can try or is one of my boards cactus?

@Phaedrux no it is not, do you think I need to buy a new ribbon cable?

@jay_s_uk thanks Jay!

@jay_s_uk Yep i've only got an SD card in the pi

@jay_s_uk said in Cannot connect: Timeout while waiting for tranfer ready pin:

if its dim it means theres no firmware.

I'm not sure that's the case for my board because I just plugged the duet in to USB directly again and the light went black to flashing on and off normally.

I did remove the jumper after updating.
