Duet3D System won't turn on now

Jim46

By any chance is this indicative of a bad Duet board?

We need to know whether the Duet is running RRF. With the Duet connected via USB to a PC by a suitable cable (one that connects the data pins, not just power), does the USB port show up on the PC? If so, does it respond to sending M115?

Jim46

Hi DC. I'm not sure of he answer to your question. This is the cable connected from power strip to the Duet. Perhaps this pic will help?
Thanks,

Plug it back in the Pi and check if you have a /dev/ttyACM0 device. Connect to it with your serial terminal of choice and send it M115 to see if the Duet board responds.

if the above didn't make sense, just copy and paste the commands below and share the results

lsusb
stty -F /dev/ttyACM0 57600 raw -echo && { 
cat /dev/ttyACM0 & PID=$! 
echo "M115" > /dev/ttyACM0
sleep 0.5s ; kill $PID ; wait $PID
}

(edit: for those who finds the thread later - the above assumes micro usb of Duet is connected to the Pi)

Jim46

So sorry Bearer. Don't know how to do the ACM0 M115 line.
So I launched PuTTy and tried to execute the 7 lines of code in the black panel. Nothing was understood. I imagine I'm missing a basic understanding on how to start this. What should I do?

A Former User

Not sure what to tell you man, I specifically tried this with a raspberry pi and a duet board to make it as simple as copy and paste.

video didn't capture right clicking the selected text and choosing copy, nor right clicking once back in the ssh terminal to paste the text, but it works with the default setup (putty behaves in the same way, but the chrome ssh client was just easier to record as it was all in a single window)

Nothing was understood.

that also tells me nothing about what went wrong.

edit; copy/pasted the ssh session for those who can't view the video (with a slight change to commands)

Maybe you can try the documentation for the Duet 2; steps 1 though 5 should be the same for the Duet 3.

Hello,
I rebooted my PC and the Pi/Duet. The commands were now accepted. Here is what came back.

A Former User

And that is with the Duet connected to the Pi with a USB cable?

Then you might need to try another cable, the Pi is not seeing the Duet.

Jim46

Here's is my set up:
The Pi and Duet are connected by the ribbon cable. The Pi is connect to the router. The Pi is connected to the SunFounder Touch Screen. The SF runs on 12v. It then powers the Pi. It also powers the Duet via the Pi ribbon cable. The Duet can also be powered directly via USB using the cable above. It makes seems to make no difference to the to the Duet Web Control 2 (on my PC with Firefox) if the Duet is powered via the Pi/SF alone or via USB as far as I can tell. If I run the Duet Web Control off the Pi, I get the same result "Failed to connect to 192.168.1.xxx, DCS Unavailable."
With all your amazing help, the Duet still seems to be the issue. Yes? Which brings me back to the same question Is it a bad board? Hope not!

A Former User

Still not clear how the Duets usb port is connected; either from the micro usb port on the Duet to the Pi and run the little script posted - OR - connect the micro usb port on the Duet to your computer and follow the getting connected guide linked above.

(The goal of that is to find out if the board is working, which is also why another usb cable needs to be tested if they do not work as expected)

Jim46

Here is the result of trying the M115 command using YAT. Device Manage (Windows 10) has no Yellow Triangles, The Generic USB showed the drive installed and that it is working. A new USB cable is connect directly to Duet microUSB port and a USB port on my PC. The Duet is no connected to the Pi at this point. There is no response to the YAT command.

I've reconnect the Pi and Duet and left the Duet connect to the PC via USB cable. Ran YAT M115 command again. No reply.

@Jim46
The port name is shown as "BOSSA Program Port" in YAT, I believe that means the Duet is in programming mode, hence why it won't reply to gcode commands.

Hopefully this helps you to program the firmware onto it: https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Getting_Started_With_Duet_3#Section_Updating_Duet_3_main_board_firmware

Also, is the DIAG light flashing? (This indicates the firmware is running.) In your pictures earlier, it looks dimly lit (which it would be if there's a jumper on the erase pins, and not flashing). Also, it looks like you have a jumper on the 'erase' pins of the Duet! That's the pin next to the three 5V select pins. Remove it!

.. how about that ..!

Hi Guys, here is a pic of the Duet3d powered by USB 2.0 from the PC It is how it was out of the box. As far as I can tell there is nothing on the erase pins near the Atmel D3M chip. Any place else a concern? I'm trying Nexxcat recommendation, but this is where I started with Tony helping remotely. I'll let you know what happens.

I'm getting a server parsing error when I try to upload this photo. What's happening? I'll try to reboot and upload again.

as long as the serial port is called BOSSA you will need to complete the firmware update procedure. If using the Bossa program doesn't help report back and I'll post instructions for using the command line version as that seems to help some struggling with the flashing.

I'm seeing a lot of that myself; reload the page and trying again usually sufficient.

Trying the Duet Web Control process doesn't work as it says unable to connect as DCS is unavailable. So back to square one. what happens if you press the reset button?

A Former User

If you're trying Duet Web Control I presume you sorted out the firmware update issue and sending M115 to the board now gives you a response?
