Endstops not working after FW upgrade to 3.01-RC4

Now suddenly my layerfan does not work....

SIam

please post your config.g file

@SIam

I sorted it out after reading a lot of Gcode

There are so many changes from RRF2 to RRF3-RC4 so the config.g file was no longer usable

I thought upgrading FW took care of all this stuff

@pro3d Are you sure you were on 3.01-RC3 before? Maybe it was one of the 3.0 betas or 3.0 RC2? Because the change that would cause this was introduced with 3.01 beta1, and that was:

If upgrading a Duet WiFi/Ethernet/Maestro from the 3.0 release, note that default fans are no longer created. Unless your config.g file already used M950 to create the fans explicitly, add commands M950 F0 C"fan0", M950 F1 C"fan1" and M950 F2 C"fan2" to config.g before your M106 commands. Likewise, default endstop switches are not set up, so you will need to set up X and Y endstops (and Z if needed) explicitly, using one M574 line for each, and specifying the port name. Example: M574 X1 S1 P"xstop".

Always a good idea to read the update notes, particularly on new, rapidly developing firmware! This decision was taken as a result of this thread: https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/13720/sequence-definition-fan-pins

The RRF config tool has been updated to generate all pin assignments, so you could always use that: https://configtool.reprapfirmware.org/

Never.

Upgrading firmware never changes your config.g. If the newer firmware needs something different, you must make that update yourself.

I updated from RC3 to RC4

Not sure which you meant to say, or what actually happened... but if you were truly move from 2.anything to 3.anything, that does indeed require quite a bit of change to config.g.

I am sure I was on RRF 3-RC3 stable so it was very weird. I did now do the config tool to get all the latest parameters and everything should be good - except temp issue somehow out of order. I made a new fan shroud and will do more testing

Thanks for the follow up

@droftarts

I now just wonder how to probe bl touch multiple times as before?

OLD CODE
; M558 P9 C"zprobe.in" H5 F120 T6000 A30 S0.02 ; Set Z probe type to bltouch and the dive height + speeds

NEW CODE:
M558 P9 C"zprobe.in+zprobe.mod" H5 F120 T18000 ; set Z probe type to bltouch and the dive height + speeds

Add this from your old code to your new code.

RRF 3.0 created some default endstops and fans, to try to smooth the upgrade path from RRF2. But that caused issue for some users. So as described in the upgrade notes for 3.01beta1, in RRF 3.01 no default devices are created:

If upgrading a Duet WiFi/Ethernet/Maestro from the 3.0 release, note that default fans are no longer created. Unless your config.g file already used M950 to create the fans explicitly, add commands M950 F0 C"fan0", M950 F1 C"fan1" and M950 F2 C"fan2" to config.g before your M106 commands. Likewise, default endstop switches are not set up, so you will need to set up X and Y endstops (and Z if needed) explicitly, using one M574 line for each, and specifying the port name.
