Most Up to Date Firmware For Duet 2 Wifi-Duex 5 Combo

JRCL

Hello all, I'm still figuring my way around firmware. When I used M115 to see what version of reprap was running I was returned with:

FIRMWARE_NAME: RepRapFirmware for Duet 2 WiFi/Ethernet FIRMWARE_VERSION: 2.05.1 ELECTRONICS: Duet WiFi 1.02 or later + DueX5 FIRMWARE_DATE: 2020-02-09b1

Which 2.05.1 seemed to be out of date as I saw 3.3 in the Github repository. So I tried to update using the "Duet2and3Firmware-3.3.zip" but after updating and running M115 I was returned with the same 2.05.1

So is this the most up-to-date firmware for a Duet 2 Wifi with Duex 5 or am I doing something wrong?

Cheers!

If you still have access to DWC. Upload these 3 zip files, one at a time in the system tab. Don't extract them first. Reboot after each. Use M115 in the gcode console to verify the firmware has been applied.
https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/releases/download/2.05.1/Duet2Firmware-2.05.1.zip
https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/releases/download/3.0/Duet2and3Firmware-3.0.zip
https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/releases/download/3.3/Duet2and3Firmware-3.3.zip
That will get your firmware and DWC up to date.

You can see the change logs here:

For your config, might be a good idea to run through the configurator tool and generate a fresh set for RRF3.

Backup your existing config files in the sys folder in case you want to switch back to RRF2. It’s easy to switch back and forth, just upload the zip file for the version you want and then upload your config files.

These documents will come in handy during the conversion.

@phaedrux I used the configuration tool you linked to get customize my firmware in the first place and made sure to add the Duex 5 and it still output the firmware version discussed above. At the risk of doing this again and getting the same output, do you think it is just the correct and most up to date one or is there no chance just based on the M115 output

@jrcl You can't update from 2.05.1 directly to 3.3 without going through the intermediate versions stated above.

If you follow those instructions exactly, you'll get to 3.3

JRCL

@alankilian Got it! Thank you

@Phaedrux I started the process but as I was uploading the 3.0 zip file things froze up on my end. I had to restart DWC and then lost connection and the ability to connect to my wifi with my Duet 2 wifi. To confirm after running M115:

FIRMWARE_NAME: RepRapFirmware for Duet 2 WiFi/Ethernet FIRMWARE_VERSION: 3.0 ELECTRONICS: Duet WiFi 1.02 or later + DueX5 FIRMWARE_DATE: 2020-01-03b3

and when trying to connect to the internet with M587 I got the error:
Error: Failed to add SSID to remembered list

I'm guessing the interruption might have ruined the upload. Whats the best way to factory reset so I can restart this process?

Phaedrux

Can you send M122 and see what wifi server version was applied?

The wifi server firmware may have failed to apply. You can send M997 S1 to reflash it.

@phaedrux The M997 S1 command fixed it for me. Amazing! Okay back to your walkthrough

I have flashed 3.3 onto my Duet 2 Wifi and can connect to DWC. However, my PanelDue Display shows that its still trying to connect to the wifi with "connecting" in the top right. However, in YAT, utilizing the M552 command it shows I am connected to wifi, as my ability to use DWC confirms too. I tried to use M997 S1 to reflash again, but I see it doesn't work for 3.3 Is there another command I can use to reflash this one too? @Phaedrux

That indicates that the paneldue isn't able to connect to the duet. It's likely that your config.g is missing the command to enable it.

Add M575 P1 B57600 S1 to your config.g

You may also need to update the paneldue firmware

Near the beginning would be best.

@phaedrux thank you, Iv just just updated to finware 3.0 on the duet 2 and 3.4 on the panel due so hopefully will work this time. It had a bit of melt down when I tried it before

Don't stop there. Next you should upload the 3.3 zip file to the system tab to get all the way up to date.

@phaedrux thank you. I’ll have a go at that next! Then just have to figure out how to get the printer specific config on there. . . Nothing like a good old project.
