Maestro issues (Firmware not updating and no ethernet)
-
I purchased it from spool3d.ca on October 15th, 2019. It's taken quite a while to get everything set up - it has only done one print so far.
-
That is unfortunately well out of warranty.
Perhaps @bearer may have a keener eye and can spot something in your photos or has an idea on potential repair.
-
I see. I'm kind of bummed out here to be honest, as this is the second piece of Duet hardware that has failed on me. The first being the IR sensor, which had a bad solder joint on the IR receiver, and now this. This certainly isn't something I would have expected from a premium product.
-
If you wish you can contact roland@duet3d.com and inquire about doing an exchange for a refurbished board at reduced cost, subject to availability.
But hopefully bearer or DC42 has a better idea of what could have gone wrong and whether it's repairable. From the troubleshooting we've done it's safe to say that the network interface is no longer working.

(Pardon the delay)
I missed that it worked prior to the upgrade; to troubleshoot I'd probably monitor the SPI bus between the W5500 and CPU and replace whichever failed to initialize as can't see any obvious failures.
-
I assume I would need a logic analyzer or oscilloscope with decoding functionality in order to do that?
Are the pins exposed on some easily accessible test point? I don't see any traditional SPI pins on the back.
Would it be possible for back-emf to destroy one of the stepper drivers is such a way that it would be messing up the rest of the SPI bus? I had my cantilevered bed fall a short distance before I noticed the board went bad.

no, but the kicad sources are available https://github.com/Duet3D/Duet-2-Hardware/tree/master/Duet2/Duet2Maestro_v1.0 your options are the vias on the bottom or the pins on the top. and yes a logic analyzer would help.
if lacking then starting with replacing the w5500 would be my bet, or you could try https://forum.duet3d.com/post/127089 - or as Phaedrux suggest maybe a refurbished exchange.
-
Do you happen to know what the SPI frequency is?
-
not sure, but i think <=12mhz (could be 1mhz but not too familiar with the code, which is also available on the duet3d github)
(also stepper drivers on the maestro use uart, not spi)
-
I just received a response from my reseller saying that Duet discontinued the Maestro? Is this true? I haven't been able to find it in stock anywhere in Canada.
-
@j3d Yes, that is correct. The Maestro is no longer being made, though there may still be some boards out in the wild for sale.
The replacement board is the Duet3 Mini5+ which is currently in early production and hitting retailers now.
-
@dc42 Is there any way that we can try and debug the SPI connection between the MCU and the PHY through firmware?

Have you taken advantage of this yet?
-
@Phaedrux I have sent off an email, yes.
