@paulg4h is this still in the plans for 3.5 release? I am looking forward to having this functionality so I can plug in to home assistant.

RE: Error Installing Motion Plugin Through DWC
I can confirm that following the instructions in the changelog that you linked to install AppArmor has corrected the issue.
Thank you @chrishamm !

RE: Error Installing Motion Plugin Through DWC
@chrishamm thanks for the reply.
I apologize but I only have basic knowledge of this type of stuff. That changelog is pretty old and my Duet install is less than a month old. Therefore my install should already include AppArmor but I guess it doesn't?
It's not quite clear to me but it seems like you are telling me to install and configure AppArmor per that old change log?

RE: Duet3 --> SBC Custom Wiring Issues
Just to close the loop on this.
It was in fact an issue with my custom-made cable. I made a new cable taking a lot of care on my crimps and sealed both ends to hold everything tight and its working.

Error Installing Motion Plugin Through DWC
I am trying to install the motion plugin from github listed here: https://github.com/Duet3D/DSF-Plugins/releases/
The latest release is for 3.4.
I downloaded the zip file and try to install it via the install plugin button under external plugins in the DWC. Initially everything appears to be working fine and then eventually after its tried to installed for a minute I am presented with the error below.
I am running DWC 3.4.5 via a Raspberry Pi 4.
What am I doing wrong?

RE: Duet3 --> SBC Custom Wiring Issues
@dc42 thanks for the reply.
Thank you for confirming that. I wanted to make sure I hadn't done something wrong connection wise before I continue my troubleshooting.
After my initial issues, I did check continuity between all of the terminals of my cables and found a bad wire which I replaced but it did not fix my issue.
The relationship between clock and wiring is above my level of understanding. What is the difference between the ribbon cable and my wiring (I did use some cheap wire from a kit)?
Based on your comments I am thinking to remake the connection with some better quality wire. I saw in another post (which I cant seem to find right now), where a user had success using ethernet patch cable. I expect that this wire will be good for high quality data transfer.

Duet3 --> SBC Custom Wiring Issues
Re: Duet3 -> SBC wiring (without the ribbon cable)
So I am trying to not use the ribbon cable due to where I would like the mount the pi on the machine and I have followed the post above but I cannot make any connection to the Duet.
Can someone please give me some advice on what I am doing wrong? I have attached pictures of my wiring.
Everyone works perfectly fine with the factory ribbon cable.
My connections are based on what is listed on the required pinout wiring in the docs which is further confirmed by the picture below from the post above (only the blue circled pin).

RE: Flashforge Creator Pro & Duet 3 Mini 5+
So I am well on my way to getting the machine set-up but have run into an issue with one of my end stops that I can seem to figure out.
I have been working through the commissioning steps and am stuck at the end-stop portion. My X and Z end stops appear to function correctly during homing but I noticed some odd issues when the machine hit the Y-axis end-stop first. In testing the end stops with the M119 gcode I noted that the X and Z endstops register correctly via M119 but not the Y-axis stop. When the Y-axis stop is depressed, the machine registers that all three endstops are hit. Once removed, all end-stops register as not touched. I've went over my config a few times and changed IO ports but cannot get it sorted. Another thing I noticed during this testing is that the LED's on the end stops on the X and Z axes illuminate when pressed but the Y end-stop does not. I checked the wiring on the Y axis and even re-crimped the connectors.
My current config.g is below. Any advice or help is very much appreciated!

I also tried to get the End-Stop add-in working but couldn't figure out what needs to be contained within the zip package. All my attempts ended with either nothing happening or a manifest error.
Secondly, my stepper motors are a bit noisy under certain conditions. The symptoms are below:
- The X and Y-axis steppers sound pretty good when moving.
- As soon as I do any movements and the steppers stop moving I have a nasty hum/whining during idle.
- When the Z axis is moving it sounds horrible kind of like a soft grinding.
The steppers are configured based on other people's configs for the same printer (Flashforge Creator Pro).
I am looking for some advice on tuning these steppers better.
Thanks in advance!

@MrM2U can you share your RRF3 configs?

RE: Flashforge Creator Pro & Duet 3 Mini 5+
So I got the board the other day and I am working through the documentation and I have a few questions:
-
Can I use the pi to power the duet board? If see that there is a 5V select jumper but I don't see much information on it regarding the Duet 3 Mini. In the documentation, it just says that you need to supply power to the pi and duet board and that the duet board cant power the pi but it looks like vice versa is possible. The board however did not power up with just the ribbon connection from the pi. What are the current requirements for the Duet board?
-
I have a duet thermocouple daughter board on order but it was definitely not as easy to source as the main boards. Is there a reason that the Duet boards don't have support for thermocouples out of the box? Is this thermistors only? Is there a benefit to using thermistors vs. thermocouples? I am wondering if I should just figure out how to convert my printer to use thermistors vs. thermocouples.

I bought a DC42 IR probe that only required 3.3V, GND and an io.in. In the RRF config tool under Z-probe I can only use the temp connectors or io3? I am bit confused by this since the temp connectors are only 2 wire and the io3 is a waste of a 5 wire connection when you only need 3 wires? I am missing something? Also, I am assuming I don't need to do anything with the Modulation Pin or PWN Control Channel in RRF?
Thanks in advance!

RE: PowerSpec/Flashforge Creator Pro converted to Duet
@garyd9 are you still using the old config from RRF 2? I am working on getting my FFCP updated with a Duet 3 mini and would be interested to see your updated configs if you made any. I think I found a copy of the google drive link with your configs? I am working though them now. Any updates or advice you can share would be very much appreciated.

RE: Flashforge Creator Pro & Duet 3 Mini 5+
Well I ordered a board. I will try and document the process in another thread and potentially link back here incase anyone is interested.

Flashforge Creator Pro & Duet 3 Mini 5+
This is my first post, so please be gentle.
I have an old Flashforge Creator Pro that has been great to me for 6000+ hours of printing but is starting to show its age.
Looking at upgrade or replacement options there isn't a lot of parts or information available on them. I am looking to upgrade the creator pro with a duet board based on lots of recommendations from here, google and Reddit.
That said, I've seen some posts of people doing this with the Duet 2 but see that the Duet 3 is out and it has compatibility with Raspberry Pi and the 7" display. Since I already have lots of pis and a screen available I was thinking of going this route. However, I don't see much information on other people doing this so am just looking for a yea based on the equipment on the pro, it should work fine with the Duet 3 mini 5+ and has the correct functionality to make it work.
I would appreciate any advice the community might have. I am a bit of a noob in this area but have decent fundamentals, am relentless to figure things out, and am good at reading lol.
Thanks in advance!
