Duet2 WiFi : No WiFi without SD Card
-
@dc42 Thanks for the F/W
I've seen the instructions for flashing the LCD via USB and am growing fatigued by all the different FW uploaders I've been having to use over the last few months.Is there another path to installing the FW into the LCD?
-
Currently the firmware has to be installed using Bossa. We plan to make it installable via Duet Web Control some time in the future. If you prefer, ask Spool3D to replace the PanelDue, because it should not have been sent to you in that state - and in any case, it may be a hardware problem.

@dc42 I'll try Bossa first since the F/W is currently at V1.21.3(13b1) for this V3.0a board.
I've also just visually (under high power magnifier) inspected both the LCD and the daughter-board - nothing crossing legs on either.This will be the last thing I try before calling it in to Spool3D though. Too bad, I really hoped I'd get through it without the need to return.
Thanks for your time and patients.

You mentioned a daughter board. The PanelDue 7i is a single board. If what you have is 2 boards, then that is the original 7" PanelDue. The correct firmware for that is https://github.com/dc42/PanelDueFirmware/releases/download/1.22.1/PanelDue-v3-7.0.bin.

@dc42 Done. New boards on their way.
Thanks for everything!
Now on to a new thread for my inductance probe.

@dc42 I just received my replacement PanelDue 7 inch. I have the exact same issue.
Could the 8-bit graphics issue be my Duet2 WiFi board or some library file missing?
I downloaded the "PanelDue-5.0i-7.oi.bin file and uploaded it to the PanelDue 7.01 via USB without issue, then I also pasted it to the sys/ folder of the SD Card keeping the same name.
Do I need to save it elsewhere and rename it maybe? -

The PanelDue bin file must be flashed to the PanelDue using Bossa.
You've followed these steps?

Firmware updates are done via the USB interface and the bossac program, as follows:
Download and install bossa 1.8 from http://www.shumatech.com/web/products/bossa. Versions of bossa or bossac earlier than 1.8 will not be able to program the version 3.0 PaneDue board. Note: it appears that the GUI version (Bossa) doesn’t work on PCs and laptops with high-resolution displays, however you can still use bossac, the command line version.
Locate and download PanelDue firmware for your display from https://github.com/dc42/PanelDueFirmware/releases. Choose firmware with 4.3 in the file name if using a 4.3 inch display, or 5.0 if using a 5 inch display, or 7.0 if using the 7 inch display (do not use the 7.0E version) Choose firmware with -v3- in the name if you have a version 3.0 PanelDue controller board, or with -v2- in the name if you have an earlier version.
Check that the free end of the 4-wire interface cable cannot short against anything.
Use a suitable cable to connect the micro USB connector on the PanelDue controller to a USB port on your PC. Caution! With version 1.0 and 1.1 PanelDue boards, take care not to exert too much sideways or up/down force on the USB connector, or you may pull the USB connector off the board. If the board has already been programmed then the backlight should illuminate.
Press and hold the Erase button of the PanelDue for at least one second. You can access this button by pressing the end of a straightened-out paper clip through the hole in the enclosure.
Release the Erase button, then press and release the Reset button. If you have a version 2.0 board then the backlight will turn off.
Identify the COM port number or port name of the PanelDue board on your PC. If you use Windows, you can do this via Start->Control Panel->System->Device Manager. Expand Ports (COM and LPT), and look for Bossa port. Make a note of the port number. If you can’t find the port, try repeating the Erase and Reset sequence, or disconnecting and reconnecting the USB cable, or try a different USB port on your computer. Note: the port number of the Bossa port for PanelDue will not be the same as the one you use when uploading firmware to Duet electronics.
Use bossac to program the board. Under Windows, open a command prompt and use this command:
"C:\Program Files\BOSSA\bossac.exe" --port=COM9 -e -w -v -b PanelDueFirmware.bin
Replace COM9 in this command by the COM port number you found, and PanelDueFirmware.bin by the path to your downloaded firmware file. It is possible to use the interactive version (Bossa) instead of bossac, but if you do then you must check the Erase all, Lock, and Boot from flash boxes.When bossac has completed and reported “Verify successful”, press the Reset button again. If you have successfully installed firmware that is correct for the type of display you are using, the display should be legible.
On version 2.0 and earlier boards, whenever new firmware is uploaded, the touch panel calibration and touch pad orientation is lost. Therefore, on starting up the software enters the touch panel calibration phase. Touch the spots as instructed on the screen as accurately as possible. It is more accurate to use the tip of your fingernail or a stylus (print one!) rather than the pad of your finger. If the display is upside down or inverted left-right, you can correct it after touch calibration using the options provided on the Setup page.
Disconnect the USB cable.
Important notes:If you have a PanelDue with a 7 inch TFT panel, then some PC USB ports and especially laptop USB ports may not be able to supply enough power to the PanelDue when the backlight is on. If you press Erase and Reset while the PanelDue it powered from your controller electronics, then the backlight should turn off, which should resolve the problem. Or you can disconnect the PanelDue control board from the TFT panel (unless you are using the integrated version), then upgrade the firmware, then reconnect it.
After you have connected the PanelDue to your 3D printer, you can still update the firmware using the same procedure. If you have a version 3.0 PanelDue then you must either disconnect it from your 3D printer first or power up your 3D printer. Version 2.0 and earlier can be updated without disconnecting them from your printer electronics even if the printer is not powered. -
@phaedrux Yes, I had used Bossa to upload it directly into the PanelDue. I've just updated my response to indicate that.
Sorry for my not remember correctly what I had done a weeks past.
Either way, I have not uploaded any F/W in this replacement LCD as I feel it will not make a difference at this point.Are there other files that should be in the sys folder?
Maybe I'm missing some bin file there?Here is what I've got in my sys/ folder:
-
No, there's nothing specific to the PanelDue that does in the sys folder. The only communication between the two is serial data.
When the paneldue is powered up, and you go to the setup page, what is the version listed at the top?
Can you post a photo of the paneldue so we can verify that you're using the right bin file to update it?
It seems odd that you'd get two displays that aren't showing the right colors, but I suppose anything is possible. That would be bad luck though.
-
@OP I strongly suspect (based on the edge of the photos you posted that appear to show a 40 pin connector) that you are attempting to flash integrated firmware ("PanelDue-5.0i-7.0i.bin") to a non-integrated PanelDue setup. As David said, The correct firmware for a nonintegrated setup that is https://github.com/dc42/PanelDueFirmware/releases/download/1.22.1/PanelDue-v3-7.0.bin.

@phaedrux
For the replacement DuetDue 7i I just received, the version is: 1.21.3(13b1).
For the original DuetDue 7i, the build version is: 1.22.1(28b1) - this was the one I had uploaded the new firmware to (per the previous link that was sent in this post).No need to post a photo, the 2 LCDs and driver boards are identical.
What is the difference between the the "integrated" and and "non-integrated" that I'm reading above?
Maybe you mean the LCD is part of the Duet2 WiFi (i.e. connected directly to the Duet2 WiFi without cables) when you state "integrated"? -
@elmoret What is the difference betwen "integrated" and "non-integrated"?
I purchased OEM Duet2 WiFi and PanelDue 7i, not a knockoff Chinese junk one or such if that is what non-integrated means. Still, I'll try you version of the bin file now. -
Please post a clear, well lit photo of your PanelDue. Spool3D does not appear to sell the PanelDue7i.

@elmoret
It looks like they ran out of the 7i model.To soothe your doubts...
My original order:
The replacements parts that I just recieved:
The 2 PanelDue 7i's I'm trying to get better than 8-bit colors out of (the bottom one is lower on my desk - so looks smaller) and is the one I just received:
Feel free to post any further doubts you may have.
-
None of those photos or screenshots show a PanelDue7i.
My suspicions were correct, you have a non-integrated setup (a PanelDue and a 7" LCD, two separate boards) and as such, have been loading the wrong firmware.
I do not believe the boards are at fault here, unfortunate for Spool3D as they likely incurred costs when the boards were not defective.
-
Integrated means that the LCD and the PCB are integrated together. The non-integrated version has the PCB connect to the LCD via a 40 pin connector, that's all.
So try flashing this firmware: https://github.com/dc42/PanelDueFirmware/releases/download/1.23.2/PanelDue-v3-7.0-nologo.bin
-
@elmoret The boards have come out of box with the 8-bit colors. Notice I did not upload a bin for the new one?
I also now suspect the boards are not at fault, but the Duet2 WiFi may be.
I only even got a replacement because I was told previously in this thread, the LCD may be defective.
If you review this thread you will see for yourself. -
@phaedrux Thanks. That is helpful to know why some people call the 7i and other do not. Now I know the terminology that you typically can't find via Google about these boards.
So yes, my setup is a PanelDue 7.
-
There's a bit more information on the PanelDue here
https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/PanelDue
and here
https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Connecting_an_LCD_control_panelIf you flash the bin I linked above and it's still having color issues we can work from there.
-
The standard file for that display/board combo is https://github.com/dc42/PanelDueFirmware/releases/download/1.23.2/PanelDue-v3-7.0.bin. But you can also use the version without splash screen that @Phaedrux linked to.
