Duet2 WiFi + SBC question
-
Hello all,
I've been running on a Duet2 (v1.03) board for a while. Today I had something happen, the main connector burned (my fault, I didn't check if the screws were tight).
So I'm replacing it with a new Duet (v1.04c) board. I'm also taking the plunge to software version 3.2
I was looking through the release notes, and I noticed that I can hook a SBC to it.
I was wondering what are the benefits of hooking a SBC to the Duet2? Is there any documentation about the features? Any documents explaining the setup? Etc..
I also noticed that 12864 displays are now supported. Is there any documentation about setup and use?
NOTE
I found the information about the display.
Thank you for any information you can provide.

At the moment you don't gain a great deal by adding the SBC other than the things you can normally do with an SBC like better networking options, usb peripherals and displays. Eventually there will be plugins that leverage the SBC, but at the moment plugins have only just been made available and they are the same between SBC and standalone.
For 12864 displays you might find this long thread interesting: https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/15611/logic-level-shifter-for-12864-display-on-duet-2-wifi
