Duet 6HC V1.01 WiFi Module
-
Hello,
I have an old Duet 6HC V1.01 and I purchased your WiFi module and then discovered that it is only compatible with newer boards. Since the main processor is the same I suppose it is relatively easy to wire it to alternative pins and configure custom firmware, isn't it?
I would greatly appreciate any guidance or insights from the community on how to approach this.
Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.

@Nazar it needs hardware SPI to work. I suppose the firmware could be modified to use the temp daughter board connection instead if you're not using that

@Nazar The 6HC v1.02 schematic shows what pins to connect it to: https://github.com/Duet3D/Duet3-Mainboard-6HC/blob/master/Duet3_Mainboard_6HC_v1.02/Duet3_MB_6HC_Schematic_v1.02.pdf
Compare it to the v1.01 schematic here: https://github.com/Duet3D/Duet3-Mainboard-6HC/blob/master/Duet3_Mainboard_6HC_v1.01/Duet3_MB_Schematic_v1.01.pdf

@Nazar it shares the SPI connection with the SBC interface. So in principle you might be able to connect it to the SBC connector; but without spending more time looking at the differences I can't promise that it will work. In particular, I think the firmware may detect the board version and only make WiFi available on the 1.02 and later boards.
