RepRapFirmware 3.0 is released!

dc42

I am pleased to announce the release of RepRapFirmware 3.0, the first stable release in the RepRapFirmware 3 series.

Users of Duet 3 with attached Raspberry Pi can upgrade to it using apt-get update and apt-get upgrade as usual, from either the stable or the unstable package feed.

Duet 2 users and Duet 3 users running in standalone mode can download it from https://github.com/dc42/RepRapFirmware/releases/tag/3.0. Most users should be able to upgrade just by uploading the .zip file to /sys in Duet Web Control.

If you are currently using RepRapFirmware 2.x, you will need to make significant changes to your config.g file when upgrading to RRF3. See https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/RepRapFirmware_3_overview#Section_Summary_of_what_you_need_to_do_to_convert_your_configuration_and_other_files for details. You should read this thoroughly and plan your migration to RRF3.

Now that RepRapFirmware 3 is released, I do not plan to do any further releases of RepRapFirmware 2.x or 1.x. But of course it is possible for others to fork the repository and do their own amendments to 1.x and 2.x.

Thank you for all your hard work !!!

At one point there was a topic about 3.0 having the possibility to have M80/M81 inverted for those meanwell PSUs working exactly the opposite way of ATX PSUs.
This is not in this release or is it? Did not see it in the changelog.

Not yet. The focus of RRF 3.0 was to do a release that had all the features of RRF 2.05 while providing more flexibility and addressing reported bugs in RRF3 beta versions. This will be the base that new features will be added to.

Upgrade went smooth on a Duet3+Pi4 from RC2 thanks @dc42 @chrishamm

Edit: I also didn't want it to go through and update all the packages, just the Duet related ones, so I did:

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade duetsoftwareframework

And it pulled only the Duet pakages that were required to go along.

Many of us are (still) using Duet 2 boards and RRF2. We've been warned away from having too much interest in RRF3 "until it becomes stable."

Now that it's stable, and this being the official announcement thread, can you please provide a quick statement describing "What's New in RRF3 for Duet2 users"?

Perhaps a subtitle of "Reasons why upgrading might be worthwhile."

Thank you

That pretty much covers whats new? The cliff notes are in the Overview section

I was kind of looking for a "Here's what's new" (as opposed to the linked "here's how to migrate your config".)

On the other hand, scrolling UP to the overview has a few bullet points that appear to suggest that only difference "feature-wise" is more flexibility in attaching fans/heaters/sensors/etc. That implies that if a person has a Duet2 board already working with their hardware, there's no reason to migrate at this point.

IMO one implies the other, but yeah the overview section was the closest to what you asked for.

And you're right, at least until new features are added to just RRF3, which by the sound of it will be from now on.

Thanks for all the hard work!
Just upgraded from RRF 2
Was relatively painless. (The upgrade summary makes it seem more daunting than it turned out to be)
I just ran the configurator (choosing RRF3) and used the corresponding values from my existing config.g
Also had to add sections such as PID tuning etc. which in hindsight I could have added into the custom setion of teh configurator.

You'll be amazed to learn if you upload the files from the configurator and forget to upload RRf3 itself you get errors
Was starting to panic until I realized and gave myself an uppercut.

Then it was just a matter of checking macros for obsolete parameters etc.

At present there's probably nothing in there that I "had to have", but since I'm on holidays anyway...

Hi all,
maybe i missed it.
Is the the paneldue running on the DUET3 with this release yet?
saw that IO_0 should be reserved for this.

DuetWiFi seem not to reed part of config.
I have upgraded to 3.0 and have issue with termostacically controlled fan:

in config.g i have following lines:

M106 P0 T45 S1 H1 B0.2 C"Extruder"			; extruder FAN on when 45 deg
M950 F0 C"fan0"

Once system boots and i query fan state: M106 P0
04.01.2020, 17:09:43: M106 P0: Fan 0, speed: 0%, min: 10%, max: 100%, blip: 0.10

basically it is ignoring part "T45 H1 B0.2" .... However, if i manually copy the same line to console and execute it, everything becomes fine:

04.01.2020, 17:10:24: M106 P0 T45 S1 H1 B0.2 C"Extruder"
04.01.2020, 17:10:34: M106 P0: Fan 0 (Extruder), speed: 100%, min: 10%, max: 100%, blip: 0.20, temperature: 45.0:45.0C, sensors: 1, current speed: 100%:

as you can see - same command, but different outcome.
same happens with system fan

M106 P1 L30 T44:63 H20:21 C"System"			; system FAN min speed 10 MCU or Driver thermistor controlled cooling range 44...63 degrees 
M308 S20 Y"mcu-temp" A"CPU" 				; CPU temp sensor
M308 S21 Y"drivers" A"Duet_drv" 			; drivers temp sensor 
M950 F1 C"fan1"

What can i do to fix the issue? or it is the bug?

deckingman

@c310 M950 needs to be before M106 (you have to create a fan output before you can use it). Hence the reason why the M106 in your congfig.g doesn't work but sending another M106 after config.g has run (and the M950 has been executed) does work.

thanks! is works fine now. i have updated M950 documentation

Successfully updated my Maestro from 2.05 to 3.0
I have done almost everything manual, but for reference also generated the files with RRF Config Tool.
For me that was the best way to get familiar with the new pin assignment.
@chrishamm: Apart from that it was not possible to select the right pin assignment for BL-Touch within RRF-CT.

With a customised 12864 display menu system and some macros I had to check around 70 files...
I would recommend Notepad++ as it provides a option to find multiple words.
It has only take some minutes to identify the relevant files.

As often, the time for converting itself depends on your own knowledge.
But in the end it was easy than expected.

Update via Pi, and all went well on DSF and 6HC main board. Had to manually issue a M997 B1 for expander. (This may be expected behavior at this point).

Yes it is.

So what if any config changes would I need to make going from 3.0 Beta on a Duet2 WiFi? I already use S1 in M574.

All releases link to the whats new log, which you're encouraged to read before upgrading as it will list all the relevant changes; big ones breaking configurations will be usually highlighted at the top of each version.

Not before Beta 12, at least that I could find.
