I think it would look pretty cool if there was a current layer visualization panel on the web interface. Maybe it could update with what paths it has drawn so far. I was thinking just a simple 2D one similar to the way pronterface displays G-code. I don't know how resource intensive it might be but I think it might be a cool extra feature if Chris or someone has the time to spare.
It was the wrong part number, I got the new one installed and avrdude accepted it for programming.
From their site, on every sales page, is this:
Duet3D conducts extensive research and development to produce our electronics and we share this by publishing all the source for hardware, firmware and software. We hope this helps people to understand how our products work, to extend them and modify them to their needs and to contribute this work back to the community.
I don't know why they would decide to make this particular board closed-source, when all the expansion boards for the duet 3 series (and the duet 3 mainboard) are all available on github.
I was looking around on Github and it doesn't look like the hardware source files are there. I'm craving a challenge, so I was wanting to order a few PCBs from JLCPCB and build a board from scratch. Can someone please point me to some KiCAD files and a BOM?
Is it simply a matter of firmware support on the Wifi/Ethernet boards?
Does the Duet (any version)/RRF support the standard RepRapDiscount 20x4 display? I was doing some digging, it looks like the Maestro supports the 12864 display, but I couldn't find anything definitive in relation to the 20x4 display support. I ask because I'm thinking of adapting the Tantillus R to Duet, and I kinda like the display on it. It's a small form factor printer, so there really isn't room for a larger display.
To continue this, several months later. I finally got around to building a second one. Unfortunately neither of them seem to work. I am able to program them, avrdude recognizes them as attiny44s, but the status light never comes on, and the probe seems to trigger somewhat randomly. Any ideas on troubleshooting? Everything else works fine, all the other lights light up, the only issue is probing. Both boards seem to have this issue.

No matter how hard I try it wont line up, I don't think these fit on my board. I suspect that when I opened up the board files in KiCAD, since my libraries are different, it chose a slightly different footprint, maybe for the 4mm version. I'm ordering some new ones that should hopefully work just fine.
I have access to a reflow oven, hot air station, and several soldering irons. Also solder paste and flux. Might have gotten too much solder on the center pad, we will see when i try again.
Okay, guess I’ll have to give it another shot. Thanks for the help!
Is that a 3x3mm chip? That’s what I have I think, and the pads on the chip barely touch the pads on the board
