It dont look like it is showing up... Paneldue turns ON and shows a panel due 1.20beta1 firmware

@TPJensen so no comm port detected at all?

oliof

IIRC the comm port only shows up after you erase the current firmware, which makes it a bit unnerving for newcomers to do the update (and the comm port is very temperamental when you cannot use the windows drivers for some reason).

@oliof aahh good point, @TPJensen did you follow there steps pf the guide you linked to:

Press and hold the Erase button of the PanelDue for at least one second. You can access this button by pressing the end of a straightened-out paper clip through the hole in the enclosure.

Release the Erase button, then press and release the Reset button. If you have a version 2.0 board then the backlight will turn off.

Identify the COM port number or port name of the PanelDue board on your PC. If you use Windows, you can do this via Start->Control Panel->System->Device Manager. Expand Ports (COM and LPT), and look for Bossa port. Make a note of the port number. If you can’t find the port, try repeating the Erase and Reset sequence, or disconnecting and reconnecting the USB cable, or try a different USB port on your computer. Note: the port number of the Bossa port for PanelDue will not be the same as the one you use when uploading firmware to Duet electronics.

Okay thanks to your all, I will try to erase the firmware tommorow when I have more time.
I hope it will go smooth.

It is a weird way paneldue have to update.

@T3P3Tony

okay now it find it as com5

But cant get the program to update to paneldue
here is what I do and what comes up

C:\Users\jense>C:\Program Files (x86)\BOSSA\bossac.exe" --port=COM5 -e -w -v -b D:\PanelDue-v2-7.0C.bin
'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

wrong use of "

try "C:\Program Files (x86)\BOSSA\bossac.exe" --port=COM5 -e -w -v -b D:\PanelDue-v2-7.0C.bin

The single quote mark " is messing up the command. It's probably easiest to cd (change directory) to the folder that contains bossac, then you don't have to worry so much about getting the path right.
cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\BOSSA\"
Then run it from there with
bossac.exe --port=COM5 -e -w -v -b D:\PanelDue-v2-7.0C.bin

@TPJensen You can set temps using macros or the onscreen keyboard if you wish.

How fo I get it to use the onscreen keyboard for TEMP ? I only get -5 -1 SET +1+5 if I choose the temp

A Former User

you don't get a keyboard for the temp, you get a console for generic g-code.

If you hold your fingernail on the +5 it will auto-repeat, allowing you to go from 0 to printing temperature quite quickly.

Super that works.. Thank you

If your intention is to do a preheat or something you could create a macro with the temp command and name it 0_Preheat and it should show up in the control screen in the quick macro list.

Nice Thanks again now preheat is setup
