PanelDueFirmware 3.2.6 released

soccerpaul

Hi, I have a multi-heater tool on my printer. It displays well in web control, but on the PanelDue the second and third heaters line up with the wrong tools (EDIT: actually, after rechecking they just aren't displayed. Only the first heater is visible). I'm running version 3.2.6 of the firmware but I believe this was the case in previous versions as well.

Yes, that is still a limitation of PanelDueFirmware. It will only display the first heater of each tool due to space constraints. 3.2.5 added support for a heater being shared across different tools (not your setup, obviously) which was also not supported earlier but multi-heater tools are not yet supported. I have some ideas on how to solve this but it might be a few releases out until I can really get to it. But right now release-cycle is pretty quick.

I got a "Error: Failed to communicate with PanelDue bootloader (no START signal received)."...

My fault: Forget to erase and reset...

Everything works fine.

Thank you!

@observatoer Hi there, did you get anywhere with this? i've just got the same message on a brand new 7i.

Upgrade RepRapFirmware to 3.2RC2.

R4ffers

@dc42 , ok will do. thanks.

@dc42, Hi there i've just noticed i'm running rrf3.1.1 on duet 3 with rpi4 even though i have run the sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade

@R4ffers that is the last stable version. You'll need to switch to the unstable repo to use the beta and release candidate versions.

@bearer , thanks for that. Do you have to remove the stable package feed first?

First: Thanks for your great work! Nice upgrade for me from PDF1.x to PDF3.x -> now a nice screensaver and so much more

my setup this post refers to: duet-ethernet1.4 -> from RRF3.1.x upgraded first to RRF3.2RC2, the actual install of PDF3.x was easy via "M9... S4"!

Just a curious thing hapened: When I use the paneldue to home all axis ~~and not do it via DWC, then the paneldue (and only paneldue not DWC)~~ throws at the end when it sucessfully finished all homing, that the "homing failed" -> BUT in both paneldue & dwc the axis are marked as "homed" and can be jogged -> Is this just some wrong link to some message that is not intended to pop up OR (since it is the only thing I changed in between) could it be related to current-dimming of the motors which is the only thing I integrated in the homing files before upgrading from RRF3.1&PDF1.x (and I have not checked if it worked before upgrading)?

Edit: Related to the behaviour of M291 in RRF3.2

@LB Short answer is that PanelDueFirmware only displays messages that it received from RRF. There is no hard-coded message (in a popup) in the firmware. So in this case it must have received this error from RRF.

I've looked up the reason for "homing failed" a couple of times in the past but I can never remember what is the cause. @dc42 can you help out here?

dc42

"Homing failed" is generated when a G28 command is executed but it didn't result in all of the specified axes being flagged as homed. All the requested axes will be flagged as "not homed" at the start of executing G28.

Thanks! Since everything works it might have to do with the specific setup and my specific code? For now I will just ignore it and dig deeper when I will find time.

Edit: Thanks to @deckingman we know that my issue is related to RRF3.2 and the behaviour of M291 within homing files

I have now released PanelDueFirmware 3.2.7. I will lock this thread. Please continue over there.
