Printing stops

dc42

@dc42 I was looking at the notes for RRF 3.01-RC4:

Recommended compatible firmware:

DuetWebControl 2.1.0 when available, 2.0.7 until then
DuetWiFiServer 1.23
Duet Software Framework version 1.2.5 (for Duet 3/Raspberry Pi users)
Duet 3 expansion board and tool board firmware 3.01-RC4

It looks like this update is geared for those using an expansion board or SBC. I am just using the main board.

No, the recommended compatible firmware is what you should be using if you have expansion boards or SBC.

@dc42 So I downloaded Duet3Firmware_MB6HC.bin and uploaded it unto System Files via the Web Control. It's there now but I was not prompted to install. The files just sits there. Per the Dozuki, it should prompt. Clearly, I am missing something here.

@dc42 My printer stopped printing again. The first print was successful. The second copy stopped midway. This time, I did not reset. Here's my M122 code:

It should prompt... but if it doesn't, you can enter M997 on the console and it will upgrade.

If you have ONLY the one board (main with no expansion, tool, etc) , M997 is all that is required. If you have other boards, run M997 once for each board, with a B parameter, like M997 B1 where '1' is the CAN address of each board. Do wait for each to finish before starting another.

Verify with M115. Which also takes a B parameter, check each board. M115 is equivalent to M115 B0 and will check your main board. M115 B1 your first expansion, etc.

Also, and this is a long shot, I was having some hangs about an hour to 1.5 into prints. Cured those by re-seating the ribbon cable Pi<>Duet, reseating at both ends.

Again, a long shot... but easy to try (power off, of course).

@Danal Thanks but my setup is a standalone.

Danal

Well, then, it certainly isn't that cable!!

Let us know if the code helps...

Weevil

@Danal Using code M997 returns this error: "Error: In-application programming binary "Duet3_SDiap_MB6HC.bin" not found"

I cannot find that file in Github anywhere.

Danal

It is in R3.0, because it hasn't changed since then... not ideal, makes it hard to find, but it is the way the build process and/or github work.

Anyway, Here's a direct link: https://github.com/dc42/RepRapFirmware/releases/download/3.0/Duet3_SDiap_MB6HC.bin

@Danal Thanks, M997 worked this time. I really appreciate the support I get from you guys. I hope this solves my printer stopping issue.
