I'll be damned. I tried with an "new incognito window" and it works. So it's obviously a caching issue, as you predicted.

Thank you very much for the help.

@jay_s_uk said in DWC 3.4 reverts to 3.2.2 after shutdown:

@man_mar connect to the SBC via SSH and send sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
DO NOT update RRF manually using the interface when in SBC mode

well...this is driving me insane.

I took the microSD card, formatted, and followed the instructions I found here ( https://docs.duet3d.com/User_manual/Machine_configuration/SBC_setup ).

Connected via PuTTY and then used sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get upgrade, process went apparently well. When I use my browser and I go to "duet3.local", it connects to the DWC but I can already see that it's the old 3.2.2.

At least the firmware is updated:
Board: Duet 3 MB6HC (MB6HC)
DSF Version: 3.4.1
Firmware: RepRapFirmware for Duet 3 MB6HC 3.4.1 (2022-06-01)

But the DWC:
Duet Web Control 3.2.2
GitHub
Web Interface developed by Christian Hammacher for Duet3D.
Licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v3

How the hell am I supposed to update the DWC in order for it to NOT go back to the 3.2.2?

As per title, I have this weird issue that I can't figure out.

I'm in SBC mode, I upgraded the firmware to the 3.4 release, but I noticed the DWC was still 3.2.2.

So I proceeded to upgrade the DWC manually uploading the .zip package using the "Upload System Files" in "System". All went smooth, I can see it upgraded to DWC 3.4.

I do some stuff, then shutdown the machine, turn it back on and I noticed the old UI. I check and it's DWC 3.2.2. What the hell?! I tried several times the same procedure, but no luck.

I then tried to upgrade using PuTTY, sudo apt-upgrade/update, it does some stuff, but no DWC 3.4.

I tried also manually deleting the "www" folder in the boot partition of the SD card and replacing it with the 3.4 version: at first I get the DWC3.4, but at the next start up I get DWC3.2.2.

As last resort I tried formatting the SD card and did a fresh installation with the latest .img, but I still have DWC 3.2.2.

The only way I'm able to get DWC3.4 is to upload the "DuetWebControl-SD.zip" every time I turn on the machine. But then again if I turn off the machine and turn on I get DWC 3.2.2.

TBH it wouldn't be that big of a deal if the "Height Map" didn't tell me "Invalid Height Map", and it's a bit annoying

So...I'm sure I missed something but I can't figure out what.

Update: Today I just changed the X endstop with one bare microswitch with NC pin available, as suggested in the documentation. I admit I didn't change endstops just because at first they were working just fine, but I guess I was wrong and at least this could be helpfull for future reference.
This new one has the classic 3 pins: COM, NO, NC; the original one has only COM and NO.
This resolved the issue on the X axis, but now the issue has "transferred" to the other axis LOL.
I measured with a multimeter the Ohms between the contacts, and got like 280kOhms instead of "open circuit". I guess i better throw these original microswitches in the trash ASAP.

@phaedrux said in Endstop issue after updating firmware:

The endstop status will make a comeback as a plugin. See here.

https://github.com/Duet3D/DSF-Plugins/tree/master/EndstopsMonitor

1) How were your endstops defined in config.g before?

2) When you say you try home x but it doesn't do it, but what happens? Does it mark the axis as homed?

3) What do you have in homex?

4) What does M119 report as the endstop status?

Thanks for the reply! I'll go in order, but keep in mind the following was the situations as of yesterday:

1. same identical configuration, after the firmware upgrade i just shutted down the system and turned on the following day.
2. I click "home x", the carriage does an imperceptible negative movement (like it starts doing the X-200) but immediately stops (as if the endstop was already triggered), and then proceeds to do the X5 movement. After this it doesn't do the "double check", the DWC shows the X axis as "homed" (X = 0.00). If I do multiple "home x" one after the other it just ends up doing 5mm movements but DWC keeps telling X = 0.00: if I do 10 times "home x" the carriage ends up at X = 50 in real life, but DWC says X = 0.00.
3. homex.g is as follows:

; homex.g
; called to home the X axis

4)M119 when no endstop is triggered says what it should:

m119
Endstops - X: not stopped, Y: not stopped, Z: not stopped, Z probe: at min stop

when an endstop is triggered it says "at min stop" (don't mind the Z probe, it is disabled by config.g)

@man_mar said in Endstop issue after updating firmware:

M574 Y1 S1 P"!io1.in"

I have a CubePro as well.

While I don't think this is the issue, Y axis endstops home to max( unless you have changed them).
The line quoted above should be a "Y2".

I configured it as Y1, because the endstop is physically placed near the origin of the axis, and I saw the Dyze conversion blog, and they actually they configured it as Y2 aswell but yes, it isn't the issue unfortunately.

Hello everyone, "I Am Once Again Asking for Your Financial Technical Support" LOL

I'll get straight to the point.
Basic configuration is an old 3D SYSTEMS CUBE pro trio, so :
X axis with single nema17
Y axis with dual nema17
Z axis with single nema23

Endstops are 3 bare microswitches, normally open, at the origin of the axis:

M574 X1 S1 P"!io0.in"          
M574 Y1 S1 P"!io1.in"          
M574 Z1 S1 P"!io2.in"

The issue: with RRF3.0final everything was ok, but DWC wouldn't allow to manually extrude and I had to use console so I did a "sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade" and proceeded to upgrade to 3.2.2

To my suprise there's no more endstop status displayed, well it's a bit unconvenient but I can use M119! Everything seems in order, I try to do an HOME X and...doesn't do it.
Well specifically it doesn't execute this line of the homex.g:

G1 H1 X-215 F1800

I try to do an HOME Z and this works as intended!

I tried to switch endstops and IO_x, but no luck. Homing Z works, homing X or Y doesn't.
With the previous firmware I didn't have this issue

Any other movement works: I placed the extruder in the center of the build area, I did a G92 setting coordinates and then I did a G1 something and it worked as smoothly as ever.

I am out of options here, so here's the config.g:

thank you for the kind reply, much appreciated!

have a nice day/evening

Hi everyone!

TL;DR: how much current can draw the Duet3 through VIN terminals? I see on the dozuki portal that the VIN fuse is specified at 10A, but the board came with 15A one.

A bit of context.

I recently got a Duet3 MB 6HC to revamp an old 3DSystems Cube Pro Trio.
The final configuration will feature:

• 24V PSU + 24V/12V stepdown converter
• 2x 24V Dyze extruder+hotend w/pt100
• 3xNEMA17 for X&Y axis
• 1xNEMA23 for Z axis
• 1x220V Heated Bed (w/SSR)
• 1x220V Heated Chamber (w/SSR)
• 1x12V 800l/h water pump for watercooling
• some 12V fans for the wc radiator and whatnot

and obviously a Duet3 MB 6CH w/pt100 daughterboard & RPi 4B.

Initially I thought of using DC/DC SSR for each one of the 60Wmax DYZE hot ends since I was not comfortable running ~230Wmax through the Duet3; given the 24V VIN, it was too close to the 10A of the VIN fuse.

(Don't mind the 12V stuff since it would be powered directly from the stepdown DC/DC converter; it's the watercooling pump&fans and it would take waaay more than the 800mA total rated from the D3MB)

But now I see the board comes with a 15A VIN fuse and I wonder if I can safely run those 230Wmax and ditch the SSRs for the hotends.

Thanks for any reply and have a nice day

@dragonn thank you very much for you kind reply!

I'm working on this thing has my master thesis project so I'm worrying about pretty much anything, lol!

So I have the feeling that there are going to be a few more of my posts/threads in the forum in the future, regarding various aspects of this project.

Thanks again for the kind help!

Hi everyone! Newbie here, so I get to the point:

I'm using a prototype extruder with several heating elements, specifically 3x220W that are actually driven by a SSR due to their high power. This SSR has an input current of 7mA max with an input voltage of 12-24Vdc, I see that the duet2 design is rated to 5A per extruder heater connection: does this mean that I will have 5A going to my SSR (and then blowing it up)? If so, how can I connect the SSR without damaging it?

Thank you!
