updating from 3.3RC2
just noted that firmware file uploaded to a new firmware folder
As the new folder was just created, it had no IAP file....upload the IAP file that went also to the new firmware folder.
Reloader again the fw file and this time upgraded fine...
-
@apak I'm surprised the folder didn't already exists seeing that you were on RC2 already.
-
@phaedrux probably existed, but last update to rc2 was "normal", and I got me this time the mod.
I like it better this way, so config is isolated from fw files
-
@apak this is to be expected the second time you install a 3.3 series release. The first time, your old 3.2 firmware is using /sys to hold firmware and IAP files, so the firmware file goes into /sys and the upgrade works. When you next upgrade, RRF 3.3 looks in /firmware for those files. So if you upload just the binary and not the IAP file too, there will be no IAP file in /firmware yet.
-
I don't see any firmware for the Duet Maestro?
-
Oops, I missed that one! Now added.

I was on 3.3RC1, then RC2, then RC2+3 and didn't have any issues.
After updating to 3.3RC3 the wifi module isn't connecting. On my paneldue the screen says "wifi module is idle" and the console says "WiFi reported error: Failed while trying to connect to my network SSID" and "WiFi reported error: network scan failed".
Did this update include any changes that could affect wifi?
My board is a Duet2WiFi.
Thanks!
-
@makemerush Were you already running wifi server 1.26 from the previous 3.3 releases?
Try placing the wifi server .bin file in the firmware folder from the RC3 release and sending M997 S1 to flash it again. That usually takes care of it.
-
@phaedrux Thanks for your help!
Seems that it was actually just a coincidence that the update and WiFi issue coincided:
Running M997 S1 didn't resolve the issue however I did some further investigation and noticed that ALL of my 2.4 GHz devices were disconnected from my router. After updating my router's channel settings manually and rebooting the router everything is working again, including the Duet2WiFi!
My apologies for the false alarm!

Is there any particular order to update my Mini 5+ WiFi ?
These are files that i DownloadedI suggest DWC first, then the IAP file, then the main and tool firmware files. You only need to update DuetWiTFiServer if you are not already running version 1.26.

Thank you, now updated

@dc42 Playing around with the new RRF and CNC controls seems to be working. Just to confirm for CNC users - you will need to specify the tool first by having T# in the Gcode being processed, and then using M3 S# to turn on the spindle at the required RPM. Unless you include a tool number in your config.g file (which I don't) M3 S# wont turn on the spindle tool and you will need to include the spindle P# or select the tool by writing T# into the console. Many thanks.

@educatingsavvas said in Software bundle 3.3RC3 now available:
select the tool by writing T# into the console
Not sure if it would apply to you, but for printer applications it would be typical to have T0 at the end of config.g to select the tool at startup. Alternatively you could add it to start.g so that it got executed when a job was started.
-
@phaedrux Thanks but I'm not sure yet. I'm planning to use 4 tools on my CNC machine. T0 - laser, T1 - Spindle Router (main tool), T2 - Pen Tool in Spindle, and T3 - Tangential Knife. I'm still getting my head around workflow, working out offsets and g-code generation for multiple tool jobs.

Attempted to upgrade from 3.3 RC2 to 3.3 RC3, mainly to fix the file simulation issue.
For the last 30 minutes, the upgrade process is stuck at 96%, with last message being "Sending update request to DCS..."Setting up vlc-plugin-video-splitter:armhf (3.0.12-0+deb10u1+rpt2) ...

Progress: [ 96%] [#############################################################...]It just sits there.
Do I attempt a forced reboot? Any idea?The web interface is unavailable, tells me "Please wait while updates are being installed..." in a popup box.
EDIT: I have forced a reboot after 20 more minutes, and now DCS is not starting anymore.

@EducatingSavvas If you're using fusion 360 for CAM you configure tool selection there and it can be different for each tool path in each setup. It's worth a look if you haven't already. I use it all the time.

Hi,
since I upgrade to the 3.3 RC3 I have an issue with my motor. They don't move.
I Use duet3 with expansion board for external stepper driver. -
Update tom my previous post.
I had to connect the Duet 3 6HC to USB and to a laptop, and update the firmware using BOSSA.
Everything now works correctly.
