Solved Firmware update gone wrong

[baird1fa]

Hello everyone, I have a printer that is running reprap V2. something and I just tried to update the firmware to version 3.0 as per the documentation before trying to update it to the latest version 3.4. It appears to have updated just fine to version 3.0, but when I did the 3.4 update something didn't work and I can't access the DWC anymore and the panel due give a warning about the driver 9 having a short to ground.

I think the board is a custom clone of the duet 2 wifi, it is a Vivedino Troodon printer. Does anyone have any suggestion to try to roll back the firmware to a V3.0 or even older so I can have a functional printer again?

Thank you.

@baird1fa Occasionally, the WiFi firmware doesn't flash properly during firmware upgrade. If you can access the Duet via the PanelDue, or USB, try sending:
M997 S1 P"/sys/DuetWiFiServer.bin"

This should reflash the WiFi module, and hopefully get it going again. If you try to send M997 S1 on it's own, firmware newer than v3.3 looks in a new /firmware folder for the files, but as you have only recently updated, the WiFi firmware is probably in /sys.

If that doesn't work, post the response to M122, when connected via USB.

Have you asked your printer manufacturer?

Seems strange to come to the forum of the genuine product looking for support on a clone. Who do you think pays the staff on this forum, and the server bill? Not Vivedino!

@elmoret Everyone gets support here.

Some even love the support they get so much they buy or recommend a genuine Duer3d board.

Some stay and give support to others even though they started with asking for support on a clone.

@baird1fa Also, probably worth reading this thread: https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/16997/formbot-troodon-rrf-3-1-1-update

@elmoret I have several legitimate duet boards and choose to support Duet whenever possible. However, when I bought these printers I could tell them to swap out their parts. The software side is still reprap and any issues from the software update I would hope could be resolved here.

It turns out I popped off the wifi antenna cable when I cloned the SD card at some point after I ran the updates. I was able to get things working all on my own which is why I haven’t been back here to respond.

Thank you for your helpful reply.

@droftarts

Thanks. I didn’t see that but I was able to get things working. I rolled it back to reprap 2 as I just don’t have the time to change the names of the pins and stuff to do the upgrade to reprap3. I’ll take a look at that post as maybe that information is there already.

Thanks.

@baird1fa If you are still looking for the upgrade, I'm happy to share with you my configuration files.
I am running my Troodon 300 with pretty much default hardware, expect that I have upgraded with direct drive.
My RRF firmware is 3.4.4
