Hi i might being late to that thread but i have an (several) duet 2 boards and i would love to upgrade my E3D tool changer to that Z-Probe so question how is that possible ? i see all infos refer to Duet 3 board ,. i would love to not totally rework my printers thx thomas
Hi,
i have all set up and tuned in and i am happy with my E3d tool changer. Now i switched the 2 right tools with hermea , they have the nozzle so far left that it can't reach the left (standard) ooze bucket (which i reused from my big box ) so i mounted one another ooze box to the right side.
Problem is when you hit pause it crashes the hermea in the printer because it is much wider than the bowden v6
i know there is in V3 of the firmware an conditional G code for a macro.
i would need to call an parking macro which asks tool number and if 0,1 it calls parkleft.g macro and if 2,3 it calls park right macro ?
And being now verry happy i would love to avoid upgrading to v3 of software ?
i also spent a lot of time dialing in the IR probe (thank dc42 )
so if someone has an hint i would be happy
thx thomas
Hi i had a nice working E3D Toolchanger then i broke the Endswitch. Had some IR Probe laying around so i made the change all fine
but since 2 days i cannot manage to get tool 3 to touch the bed whatever i do it only shows different reading at Z Height but mechanically i have same distance from bed around 0,7mm
so i am at end with my latin as we say. I tried it with all setting G31, G10 , Probe height adjustment
so i might ask the forum maybe it is an easy fix (tool 2 can touch the bed ,.. but it is longer than 3 )
config-3.g
maybe someone can help me with an clue due to cabling tool 3 is most left tool ;)-. so i had to reverse the sequence
I am working on an 3d print service cloud solution. And at Ultimaker you have to "tell" the printer that you removed the print and the bed is free for next print. So my question is if there is an easy way to emulate this behavior which i might have overlooked.
maybe it is the easiest to have a kind of Mcode which i can ask (even after reboot) if it is free or not (because bad can happen then ) and if free i print if not user has to tell at printer (or web client) yes plate is free ?
what do you think

Thank you for the smoothie hint i will look into it because i also need the M24 possibility ;)-
Hi
thank you that is exactly with my observation so i will then need to do 2 types of software
. I get octorpint to work with duet wifi if you proficient with G and M codes (as i am) it is possible.
but sometimes you have to reconnect and so on
thank you verry much for you fast answer thx thomas
Hi i like duet wifi web control but for my application an Octoprint plugin has to do some stuff.
So i would like to send the file down to the SD like 
i even have cura connecting to octoprint and direct print to duet with 4 tools
But if someone can help or knows how to do that it would help my application a lot
in later phase i think of doing some Ajax direct on the duet but not now
thx thomas
Hi ,
so back to my problem ,..
i have OSX (preferred) ,linux and Windows 7 m, Windows 10 at hand. Windows 7 even on an separate Notebook dedicated for CAM. So my experience with FPGA, VFD drivers tells me that here is normally an Programming board. i can see that pins of the Panel PCB. So if USB doesnt work maybe there is an programming board and a cable like https://www.digikey.at/product-detail/de/ftdi/TTL-232R-3V3/768-1015-ND/1836393?utm_adgroup=Cable+Assemblies&mkwid=sQAoSZwyZ&pcrid=291655443974&pkw=&pmt=&pdv=c&productid=1836393&slid=&gclid=CjwKCAjwldHsBRAoEiwAd0JybdyMRTduvasALP6DtA76xj4GciCEUKOtsU-D_tbCVXB5aW13jUbLmBoCtkoQAvD_BwE helping to overcome my issue ?
help would be great
hi yes of course the panel is in an mounting box to ensure no metal parts can touch the pcb on my desk printer another desk ,.. so it is just my pc the cable and the panel ,..
Hi
i now tried Windows 10 on the dual boot of the macbook pro (it is an USB3 ) and on an Windows 7 machine also an notebook the backlit lights but no serial shows off.
Si in my experience (Mesa cards , etc ) there is normally a way to connect an Serial/usb to TTL converter an i can see th pins on the board question is how do i get the code on the board ?
if anyone has some hint then i can overcome the USB issue and i have now the E3D Dual tool changer machine ready only the 7i is waiting ,..
and i have the issue that wile printing the Webserver is not responding so i hope that i can see on the panel how the machine is behaving ,.. right ?
Hi
unfortunately it didn't work i have a macbook pro and use that port to power an raspberry with octopi
so i did take that cable from octopi to printer which should do serial ;).
But no luck not on windows and osx ,..
any hints ?
Hello thank you for that hint
i am now retrying that procedure with an cable sure knwowing for working as serial cable. This was an very good input which i didn't consider thank you best reg thomas
Hi,
i have tried to upgrade the software of my "old" PanelDue 7i which i had in the drawer more than 1 year now. (the Hevo runs on th 5" well ) but now for the E3D Toolchanger i think it was time.
So i have read all the tipps and so on
fact is the 7i is not showing as an usb device.
i tried usb connect then press erase and 2nd button together (as mentioned in one answers in the forum ) and then in any combination like erase only 2nd button only and holding erase and 2nd button plug in then.
I tried it under OSX Mojave (main machine) then there on an Windows 10 (dual boot ) didn't work.
I even tried 2nd pc with windows 7 professional
So i think i need a tip how to connect the programming (i have TTL-USB converter at hand) ports on the backside and refresh the system i guess ?
Any other idea is welcome
in an ideal world i would do it on an OSX or linux environment but if windows is to be used i would even use it as well ,...
thank you for listening thx thomas
Hi
they are the standard of E3D the motion part comes in one piece pre mounted !
Finally it was an mechanic error ,..
I don't know why i have overlooked it (maybe because i am fighting a cold an i am not 100% ,.. ) but
on one of the X Y steppers there was one of the grub screws gone and the 2nd was not tight. So the axle is not round so in some positions
it is driving if directions changes there was the slip !
maybe that should make an entry in the build manual
it is verry difficult to see you have to search for it and check it ,..
Sorry for bothering ...
and thank you all for the answers i learned a lot now on all the Duet M codes ;)-
I have an E3D Toolchanger now i build it so far so good but. I have an issue with reliability
It seems that the system is loosing Stepps. So i spent now whole weekend on it and need an way to measure where and why i get this situation. (i have quite experience with steppers and servos and have an HEVO 300 with duet running )
i tried first the formum at E3D https://forum.e3d-online.com/threads/i-am-stuck-not-even-1st-print.3371/#post-33735 but it seems it might be an software and or configuration issue.
As i wrote i can repeat the error and i can repeat a position after home but while i move the axes it gets worse and worse (on an cartesian i would play with steps per direction )
i draw now an rig to mount an dial on the printer to be precise
if anyone has an good idea how to tackle that error i would be verry verry happy
i changed the name for upload to gcode they where .g homeall.gcode homez.gcode homex.gcode homey.gcode pause.gcode bed.gcode cancel.gcode brush.gcode purge.gcode

Hi
i own 2 DuetWifi and an 5" panel and an 7i , the 5 works the 7 doesn't.
I tried to follow the reload firmware description But neither on Mac or Win 7 Pc i get some life sign of the serial connector. So i can't do anything right ?
Maybe someone direct me how to proceed because my Hevo 300x300 should get an 7i right not an small 5" screen ;)-
It is not urgent i am still in the process of calibrating ,..
Hi DC42 i would also be interested , I have 2 Duet3d one for a Bigbox in idex and one on an 300x300 Corexy Hevo Style Printer with an Dual E3d Chimera head on it.
(I also have 2 I3 type printers not on Duet where we could test 3mm if needed)
I can add oscilloscope and development skills if needed to get that going
thx thomas
Hello
I now feel a little dumb because i found https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Installing_and_Updating_Firmware which i s quite clear but i didn't find how to flash the panel due ? I have a lot of Arduino experience i do programs Granite devises Delta Servos so i have a good chance to achieve it but somehow i didn't find the panel please push me to the right direction thx thomas
Ok
I am Roaming Next dass but Then i search for the Article how to Flash the Panel
And respond success or failure
Thx
Thomas
Wow that is fast
It Shows just a Kind of dark screen backlithed
So i use Pronterface to kick the wlan on and Then i use the Web Browser ...
That is why i think no handshake and all Pixels Are in Same State
Thx
Thomas
