Duet3/pi DCS is unavailable after wiring 24V

A Former User

are those screws/nuts islolated from the boards?

fractalengineer

@bearer Yes; it's sitting on standoffs; good observation though, I just removed the board from the panel to double-check and it doesn't fix it; there doesn't appear to be a short through the fixations.

A Former User

A screw can still carry current unless isolated on both sides of the board or chassis (or even from the bore of a plated hole)

anyways, if you connect to the usb port (can use the pi for that, just provide the pi with power as well) what response do you get to M122

and if you run apt list 2>/dev/null | grep duet in ssh on the pi it'll list the specific versions installed which may be relvant for some.

@bearer Where would I enter M122 when DWC refuses to load?

For the versions command here's the return:

Thanks

serial terminal? i tend to use screen as i have it installed anyway.
( you could try timeout 1 cat /dev/ttyACM0 & echo -e "\nM122" > /dev/ttyACM0 )

as you're running 1.2.4.0 stable, you should stick to the 3.0 version of the firmware.

this thread as some of the same problems (with respect to versions), with options for solutions if you read the whole tread.

1-Powering duet over USB
2-Powering Duet through Pi on USB

Your photo shows Duet power by VIN (which is good!). And I believe I see jumpers to power Pi from duet (which is good!). To eliminate variables, I'd stick to that for now. In particular DON"T power Duet from Pi, that is not a supported config.

You also have Duetsoftwareframework 1.2.4.0 installed. I can't quite figure out what firmware matches that (3.0 says it requires 1.3.something). I would do one of two things:

bossa the board with the firmware in /opt/dsf/sd/sys/Duet3Firmware_MB6HC.bin

-or-

Install DSF 1.2.5.0 and then do the same thing.

Me, personally, I'd go to 1.2.5.0

fractalengineer

@bearer Thank you; that's an informative thread, unfortunately the Duet is currently running RRF 3.0 already; still no use.

Here's what the command @chrishamm mentioned returns:

And thank you for your response @Danal ; I already Bossa the board to RRF3.0 but I will try to update DSF to 1.2.5

No it shows the board powered by usb, albeit with VIN connected. And with nothing else connected a single USB power source isn't going to cause a problem and is easier to relay than the alternatives, while keeping the potential for damage to a minimum.

apt list 2>/dev/null | grep duet

Well observed; I forgot to mention but while always plugged in both VIN and USB, I never powered the Duet through both; either plugging USB to the laptop or turning on the PSU, never both.

please confirm the board is actuallt running RRF firmware by sending it M122or M115 first over a serial terminal.

I support that, eliminates the risk of a ground loop, which is why I suggested using the Pi like I did.

I've only tested that command with ssh on a Pi against a Duet 2, but no reason it shouldn't work with a Duet 3 as well if you don't have a serial terminal installed (most arent very user friendly on the Pi)

fractalengineer

@bearer thank you for sticking with me

Ok so I downloaded and configured YAT to use as a terminal according to this guide: https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Guide/1.)+Getting+Connected+to+your+Duet/7

It seems to be connecting to it, but every time I enter one of both M122 or M115, the interface disconnects and reconnects.

Likewise, your command doesn't seem to be working on mine either

pi@duet3:~ $ timeout 1 cat /dev/ttyACM0 & echo -e "\nM122" > /dev/ttyACM0
[1] 4220
-bash: /dev/ttyACM0: Permission denied
pi@duet3:~ $ cat: /dev/ttyACM0: No such file or directory

[1]+  Exit 1                  timeout 1 cat /dev/ttyACM0

which image are you running on the Pi, pretty sure the default has the pi in the dialout group to allow permissions. the other alternative is the file isn't there.

sudo solves permisions, and lsusbshows us if the duet is detected by the Pi.

fractalengineer

@bearer I tried with sudo prefix as well; same result

The image is the Duet Pi from the Getting Started guide

I also updates all packages according to the thread you mentioned earlier; everything is now running those versions:

pi@duet3:~ $ apt list 2>/dev/null | grep duet
duetcontrolserver/unstable 1.3.1 armhf [upgradable from: 1.2.4.0]
duetruntime/unstable 1.3.1 armhf [upgradable from: 1.2.4.0]
duetsd/unstable 1.0.6 all [upgradable from: 1.0.5]
duetsoftwareframework/unstable 1.3.1 armhf [upgradable from: 1.2.4.0]
duettools/unstable 1.3.1 armhf [upgradable from: 1.2.4.0]
duetwebcontrol/unstable 2.1.1 all [upgradable from: 2.0.7-1]
duetwebserver/unstable 1.3.1 armhf [upgradable from: 1.2.3.1]

The code recommended the unstable releases...

Lastly here's the lsusb result:

pi@duet3:~ $ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0424:7800 Standard Microsystems Corp.
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0424:2514 Standard Microsystems Corp. USB 2.0 Hub

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

I just redownloaded a duetpi image; I'm keen to reflash everything from scratch.

However the DIAG LED blinking without the PI connected tells me the issue might come from the Duet board rather than the Rpi?

it has its challenges, which is why i linked to the previous thread.

anyways, Pi isn't detecting the Duet.

Don't suppose its any different on your computer in Device Manager?

and it should show up as one of these two entries, for either running RRF or in the bootloader.

@bearer I see; well my windows is showing just fine:

I can connect to it via YAT just fine; just any command I send disconnects it

can you open that device properties and look at the hardware id?

(this is why i prefer using the pi:)

fractalengineer

@bearer sure there it is

Looks like the Duet 3 vid and pid. Can you check out which driver it uses and/or update to the one Duet3d provides?
