Hi All,

So it looks like I'm swaying toward the Duet 3 Mini 5 as few have commented on. This way I can also upgrade ‘if and when’ needed.

It looks like I'll have to wait a few weeks before any more Duet 3 Mini 5's are ready, No Pressure David. LOL

I am most grateful for everyone's input and advice.

No doubt I'll be back again with yet more questions, but for now I think I have a bit of reading to do, to familiarise myself better with the Duet system.

Also any more comments and / or suggestions are very welcome.

Thank you,

Dizzwold.

Just found this and thought it might be handy for future use considering the wiring.

If you click the link at the top to open in a browser window, then save, download. Then you can play with it.

@mandragora @Norder @jay_s_uk @deckingman ,

Thank you guy's, these are all very informative and valued information. This give me a lot to consider, and decide upon which way to go with this.

I've added a photo below. Sorry, I should have done this in first post so you all had a better understanding.

@Norder I already have a second floor/partition, but this directly above the "built-in" soundproof chamber. I was planning on using this as my filament storage. When I say built-in, it's breeze blocks and plaster. I've already had to strap one side with an addition joist in the loft to take the extra weight of the TecSound soundproofing and soundproof plasterboard as this was unsupported and above a stair case (it did have small notched joist, but not enough for the addition weight).

I'll have to take some temperature reading in the partition above. I suppose I could have it in an enclosure (in the above partition), and have a fan and duct in the timber above the door if needed. Then run cables to the paneldue, that will hopefully sit to the right of the door on the cable trunking.

Thank you again guy's for your time and advice.

Hi Ian,

Thank you again for your help and input.

I figured the above out in the end (or I hope I have).

Here is my example from the terminal. Maybe this will help others.

Mrxxxx's-imac:~ $ bossac -e -w -v -b -R -p /dev/tty.usbmodemFD131 /Users/Mrxxxx/Downloads/PanelDueFirmware-logo-3.4.1-v3-7.0.bin

Thank you for your help.

@phaedrux

Basically some thing to print out (a table or the likes of), listing what's on each connector gathered from the RRF config tool or from DWC?

I'm just being lazy really.

@dc42 @droftarts

Thank you both for you input and help.

Off-subject, is there a tool anywhere to print out the like of the RRF Config tool, Just to state what's on each io connector and on what pins?
Just wondered.

Dizzwold.

@droftarts

Hi Ian,

@droftarts said in Flashing firmware on Mac OS X:

At least with the latest version of the PanelDue firmware on it, you can update from DWC now!

Oh, okay I didn't know that, so that's a bonus.

Again a big thank you for your guidance and help. It is very much appreciated.

Dizzwold.

Hi Ian,

Thank you for your guidance.

So to copy bossac to the firmware file is;
$cp bossac /User/Downloads/PanelDueFirmware x x x.bin

I just tried the following and got the response after typing the above;
./bossac -e -w -v -b -R -p /dev/tty.usbmodemFD131 PanelDueFirmware.bin
-bash: ./bossac: No such file or directory

/bossac -e -w -v -b -R -p /dev/tty.usbmodemFD131 PanelDueFirmware.bin
-bash: /bossac: No such file or directory

bossac -e -w -v -b -R -p /dev/tty.usbmodemFD131 PanelDueFirmware.bin
Erase flash

Done in 1.437 seconds

No such file or directory

Have I now killed the paneldue?

I'd pressed erase earlier.

@pr0xyfl00d3r

Hi,

I'm in the process of just starting with a Duet 3 6HC and modifying my Tronxy X5SAPro 330 x 330.

Can I ask which sensor your using for the z probe?

I have both the XY-08N and the TR glass (currently using the TR on the Tron, but plan on using the XY-08N for rig testing).

I've read a few posts (mostly your own). I see you have the following in your config;

@pr0xyfl00d3r said in Duet 2 Wifi Tronxy X5SA Z probe setup:

M558 P5 I1 H5 F120 T6000 A10 R0.5 S0.005 B0 ; Set Z probe type to modulated and the dive height + speeds

Are these sensors modulated?

Also, off subject. With testing on a rig, can I test with one spare stepper motor, switch the unit Off and connect to the next drive for testing, or is this not advised?

Sorry but a bit green to this.

Forgot to state I have the Duet 3 6HC running RRF 3.4.2

Dizzwold.

@droftarts

I've also just thought of something else.

Could the paneldue be flashed by my connected SBC, or another RPi?

@droftarts
Okay, I've managed to install wxwidgets, but the Bossac app won't open;

I've also followed the following and restarted in recovery mode, terminal, csrutil disable, reboot;
https://github.com/shumatech/BOSSA/issues/76
Still no success.

So I'll have to try the command line in terminal, but the page with the directions to do so only half explains how to do this on a mac;
https://docs.duet3d.com/User_manual/RepRapFirmware/Updating_PanelDue

Once I have the usbmodem port details, what do I type in terminal to flash the paneldue. It only continues this information for windows machines?

I'd be very grateful for some help with guys.

MGonzalez506 created this issue in shumatech/BOSSA

open Any ideas on how to install on High Sierra? #76

@droftarts
I managed to get Brew onboard but not wxwidgets.

Finally got around to setting this up, well the config anyway.

In the RRF Config Tool, when I set up the Bed Mesh Compensation, does this take into account the Z probe X/Y offset I've already quoted it, or do I have to account for it in my measurements?

Regarding setting up an emergency stop button, a mushroom press to stop, twist to release N/C Button. Do I connect it from 3.3v to gnd on my chosen i/o connector, and therefore does the following match what I want it to do, i.e. to stop everything at anytime until released;

; Emergency Stop
M950 J1 C"io4.out"
M851 P1 T0 S0 C0

I'm relatively new to Duet so I at-least want an emergency stop, just incase my config is wrong.

I'd be grateful for your input.
