@deckingman omg don't be a dummy please, you really think I don't know the difference. I type fast here, and it's a simple typo. How stupid you think people here are that I would run into "o" problem. Gosh...

If I ever need to hear some top stupid advice, i now know who to ask. Thanks! (but facepalm).

P.S: when you are at level of thinking people confuse O with 0, then probably you can not possibly notice that Interpolation simply is not active regardless of firmware command. So is it possible that your interpolation "works" because you have no idea how to test that? And now you speak for "thousands" of others apparently.

@phaedrux don't really care about "ways to do it" being a consumer. All I want is a solution for an accurate estimates, and I am expecting a $360 product at least do that. I am not here to mess with board firmware. I have other things and tasks daily. Bottom line is $20, way less capable boards do estimate same exact gcode correctly (I am printing some mass production on several printers currently) and Duet does not. This is the problem and it should be addressed.

@dc42 David, do you have some QC issues with your memory card readers that are on board with DUET2? Second time it happened mid print, material and time wasted. What should I do? Second board in a row, issues again.

Again I am coming to totally stopped printer with error 1 in DWC. No way to resume even....

Also shouldn't we at least have an option to retry reading the file in such situation, instead of having to waste everything and start over?

@deckingman assuming that someone is dumb to a level of using a letter instead of number is disrespectful and an insult. It is probably your reality of life to make such idiotic mistakes, and you totally consider that possible with other people, for me your assumption was quite autistic. So you got what you totally deserved. Blame yourself. Look at the keyboard where o and 0 is located. I am not programming a firmware on this forum, I am messaging, don't act like a complete idiot, for god's sake. I hate such "men". Really like a little spoiled girl, what a shame. It's super idiotic to even assume that I could use "o". Period. But what could I expect from a guy who had time to have 4300 posts anyways lol.

@phaedrux and you are apparently a swallower, if you are ok having to do manufacturer job yourself. Don't expect everyone to be like you then. I simply value my time. I am here to report issues and expect them fixed, not to try to workaround them myself. Everything you said is dead basic, you think those advices were in any way a help? I post here for management to see issue reported, not for random dude like you advice obvious things and then complain about me not willing to do duet3d job on my own. You have nothing to do with this report, I have not asked you for anything, not sure why you are even here commenting. Just keep going with your day. Find something useful to do with your life.

As a side note, I am sure you have never said "nsufferable twat" any man in person. Right? What a brave man Couch braveman with virtual big balls.

Guys, can you ever produce one single update that is not half-assed?

Going to your page. Noticing there is a 2.0 for web control. Getting ZIP file, uploading it using browser, all looks good. Printer restarts. Printer down, loads CLEAR page! (it does load index.html, just exactly as it is with no modules working) No seriously, wtf @dc42 , how hard is to check a god damn update before releasing it? we all paid good money for this, we are not on a freebie site here. None of my other boards give me nearly as much trouble and downtime as yours! I assumed RC6 must have been tested at least once! Obviously I was wrong. How am I supposed to fix this unknown issue now? (no, I am not willing to reflash my board for you) I exactly followed the steps on your manual! You want me to do your work and fix your errors in your firmware now or what is your understanding to this fix? What do you expect when you release such half ass and users machines are now down due to that? You expect us to fix this ourselves now and dig for a possible cause why duet team could not do a simple beta testing?

@dc42 Hi David. First of all, I am not sure where you see the promo. If you think your forum with 60 views on this topic is really worth it, I respectfully disagree. Anything under 1000 views can not even be ever considered promo worthy. So please, when you make such "assumptions" consider this. And if I could share a raw video on your platform, I would have gladly done so, but it didn't allow me, and the only videos I had published online which I could link, all are edited already. Didn't think it could be any concern, especially considering that I am on your second board and DUEX5 and keep suggesting your board to everyone, despite that my first one weirdly failed But hey, thanks for a hint about reprap. I have not advertised this project anywhere at all actually, just yet. Didn't expect it to go that fast. I plan to throw it to youtube this week also. By the way TMC2660 are killers! Especially at 300mm/s speeds! This is where they especially shine!

"disguised" (facepalm) David, this is just ridiculous that you even think that was the case. I like your board, despite it being extremely overpriced, but you are extremely weird to say the least.

Since you suggested me that forum link, here is my personal advice to you is that if you keep failing to lower your prices to make them reasonable, Chinese will overtake 60-70% of all your sales in less than 2 years. It's gonna be no fun, but it's inevitable when you utilize such greedy profit model. I am in production business, and I know how much these boards cost to manufacture - $30-40. Assembling in EU is cool, but components are all still from China, except for maybe stepper drivers. With that said my first 1.2 Duet board had a horrible assembly quality, which I have never seen with China production for example. Here on this picture is what I paid $180 for, couple years ago. Now it failed, and apparently no warranty. Think of it. .

Is this the level of assembly in the UK that we are paying such a premium for? I never rose this issue in a first place. I don't think I will continue suggesting your genuine boards to my auditory anymore, mainly based on your communication with me.

@phaedrux well, that's not a "proper" solution to a problem. This must be solved inside DWC and not by user workarounds, in my opinion. Why would I want to split my gcodes and do macros for an obvious bug in DWC? None of my other boards have such issue, including 8bit cheap boards. All boards calculate percentage correctly.

@deckingman Thanks a lot. Yeah, I already figured that out by playing with different parameters. For some reason I still can not achieve similar smoothness that I had on smoothie board on similar curve at 200+ speeds. But I will play a bit more with those parameters. I think this is where the problem is for sure! Thanks again!

@aplanetrider well I bought DUET2 at matterhackers. It finally works. Just lost $180 on a first one, which is sad. Decided to not connect screen to it anymore to avoid burning again. Even not connecting the screen via normal USB anymore. Who knows how this board is built, documentation on that is very poor. But with that said, it works fine with web interface, screen is almost not needed.

@aplanetrider it's an old topic, that board is already somewhere in a landfill actually. It was out of warranty and failed, also assembly quality was pretty horrible which I showed to David. I just took a loss already. I also found out that I actually DID NOT feed 5V into it, as I double checked all PAD7 pins, and 5V jumper was not even present, so I have no idea what failed there and especially why. Before the idea was that I fried it by feeding 5V, but that turned out to be incorrect int he end.

Ok guys, in case someone experiences the same issue, I want to document. Found solution myself as always.

This is what helped:

1. restored it back by deleting files on SD card from "www" folder and replacing them with "DuetWebControl-master" contents from github.
2. gained control over from web browser again and reloaded "DuetWebControl.zip" which worked.

P.S: for some reason the first file that I had was "DuetWebControl-2.0.0-RC6.zip" which is the one that caused issues. So make sure you download the "right" one that works. Not sure if this is the issue, but doesn't hurt to mention.

@chas2706 thanks God. You was the most useless person here offering zero value at all, just meaningless chatter. And yes, every customer absolutely "deserves" a solution, you are obviously clueless about how businesses are run in the world.

Thank you all other guys for trying to help. I just ended up rolling everything back manually by editing folders on SD card to the previous state. I do hope someone from DUET3D can and will address this eventually on this thread.

@chas2706 If my customer is let down so badly by my product ever, for any reason (which never happened to me), he will come to me pretty upset and, being a professional, I will apologize for a mess and solve his issue. I do not expect any help from you, I expect a solution from DUET3D. And yes, I am a pissed customer, because my machine is down for no reason now. I paid money for expensive board, and I do not have to be super nice and apologetic. My first duet also failed out of warranty period, so don't tell me how to formulate my requests, would you? This boards are nothing but trouble always. I am bound to them due to DUEx5 functionality as I test complex hardware daily and need that.

@dc42 How to solve this for those who are not willing to spend hours reflashing boards for a simple update? Mine is also down now for no reason. Have you guys done any testing before you released that firmware?
