"Duet3D laser filament monitor" not needed or just use a shorter name like D3DLFM
"on endstop input 3" not needed as I tell the port at the M591 command itself or only do something like "@D0"

D3DLFM@D0, disabled, allow 40%>120%, check 3.0mm, pos. -7.8, brt/sh 82/17, min 69%, avg 93%, max 118%, 1206.9mm

Not sure how short it can be without the need to consult something to know what it each part means. 😄

Yes, the colours are definitely not right. Please ask your supplier to replace it.

The touch screen is resistive, which is better than capacitive when you need to be sure to hit the right button because you can use the tip of your fingernail oir a stylus to get extra precision. The main drawback of resistive touch panels is that they don't support multi-touch.

To use PanelDue in portrait mode, you would need to redesign the screen layouts. The low level display driver module can handle any screen orientation.

The code is open source, it's at https://github.com/dc42/panelDueFirmware. There is no additional documentation.

I recommend that you pause the print before you disconnect or reconnect the PanelDue. That way, a resurrect.g file will be created, giving you a chance to recover is something goes wrong.

Burnt latest firmware and "Voilà"
Another happy customer.

Thanks for the write-up!

The version is printed on the back of the circuit board.

Yeah.... I'm in the "why" camp as well.

By definition, Panel is within a meter or two of printer. Just look at printer.

@jml said in PanelDue (7i) button accidental button presses:

@dc42 Ok, so if I'm occasionally getting presses registered in places where I am not actually clicking then I guess that means either my mount is pressing against a touch-sensitive part of the screen a little bit, or the touch-sensitive part of the screen is faulty.

Yes. In a high humidity environment, condensation on the connections to the touch membrane might also cause that problem.

Ok, thanks for you answers.

@dc42 Thanks very much

thanks guys crisis averted so simple to fix phew!!!

Have you checked that the volume isn't set to 0 on the Setup page?

If the volume is already set to maximum and the beeper is still silent, ask your supplier to replace the PanelDue.

Connect the USB port of the 7i to the Windows PC, with the other PanelDue connectors not connected to anything, and press the Erase button when it is powered up. Open Device Manager on the PC, expand Ports (COM & LPT), and you should see the Bossa Port indicating that the 7i is ready to be programmed. If you don't, try pressing the Reset button on the 7i, also try a different USB port and a different USB cable, and pressing Erase again. If you still can't get the Bossa port to appear, ask your supplier to replace the 7i.

Thanks, I'll look at increasing the maximum message length displayed.

I'm sorry, I didn't read your post properly, I thought you had generated the .bin version of the image yourself.

I've replicated the problem using the files you supplied for your own splash screen. I repeated the copy operation to concatenate the files, and that produced exactly the same file that you uploaded.

I then appended your splash screen file to the version 3 7.0 nologo binary, flashed it to a version 3 board, and it worked.

I think I know what is going wrong. The version 2 firmware runs on both 128Kb and 256kb flash memory versions of the ATSAM3S chip. So it uses the last 1K or so of the first 128kb of RAM as nonvolatile storage to save the user settings. This means that if the firmware binary + splash screen exceeds 128kb in length, part of the splash screen gets overwritten by the user settings.

I guess I could fix this in the next firmware release by reading the chip ID register to find the memory size and use that to decide where to store the nonvolatile data.

Hi @dc42 it is an integrated one.

I should also note that I filed a warranty claim just in case as I could not get it working. I tried powering the board off the duet as well as connected to 3 different computers, with and without the data lines in between the Duet and screen and still no luck. Rolland has said he will send me out a new one, which is amazing service.

Kind Regards,
Sam

@ozgiac said in Request, To be able to set IP address from Panel Due:

@dc42
i am currently using the duet ethernet for evaluation for one of our clients for a number of printers.

also noticed if i scan the ip using a net scanner, it does not return the name of the printer.

but this does work on the wifi unit.

That's correct, the Duet Ethernet doesn't yet support MDNS.
