@PCR Hello, Is it possible to buy one with Italian shipping?
-
@Maralb Sure! PM me!
-
@PCR Hello, i'm also interested by your pcb can you tell me the price for the pcb plus shipping cost to France, Thanks in advance.
-
Write me a PM;)

I have been having problems getting the system to work, I have the recommended components and the PCB by PCR.
I have flashed the ready made image from github but nothing works. Do I need to compile the firmware myself? I just don't know how to do that eg what pins are used, how do I get the wifi connection working? I don't know if you could help with detailed instructions or could you point me in the right direction.
I really want to get this working.
-
@appjaws IF you really got the recommended display and ESP32 everything works out of the box after flashing the firmware. No need to re-compile etc. What ESP32 Dev board are you using? Do you know your way around the ESP IDF? Connect the ESP32 to your computer and execute
idf.py monitorCheck the Espressif Docs on how to install their tools in case you do not have them already.

Would be good to see support for machine/status rather than rr_status.
I have a number of machines where I'd like to use this but currently can't due to it not supporting an SBC -
@appjaws can you make a Picture of the ESP with my PCB. Some Users Here are using it without Problems !

SUCCESS I had a bad joint, now fixed, thank you for your help.
However, the unit is not connecting to the router, it says Not connected to network or UART.t
The SSID was recognised and I have inputted the wireless network password 3 or 4 times. Is there a way of checking that the correct password has been entered, I fine the screen very small for my cubby fingers.t
Any suggestions on how to chase this down?I am now connected to my router but the Duet is not recognised, the message says " No response from the printer!"
The duet is connected via ethernet, did I need a WIFI version? Is there any other setup needed?Thanks for all help
-
@appjaws put the ip of the duet manually in if you can!
-
@PCR tried that the screen shows 192.168.001.069 and reprap password is reprap

Greetings All,
I've ordered the PCB and ESP from @PCR. I'm looking at the BuyDisplay.com page, and want to confirm some selection items before ordering.
- Pin Header or FFC connection for the 4-wire SPI?
- Power Supply Type (3.3 or 5.0V)?
- Font chip (instructions say one isn't needed, but there is no selection for no chip -- so would any of the selections work?)
Also @PCR - you mention needing 2 20-pin male connectors and that you were thinking of including them... Did you include them, or should I source those elsewhere?
Thanks!
John

Sounds wrong: Leading zero is not valid in IPv4 I think. Try
192.168.1.69. Make sure there is no space in front of the password and IP.- Pin header for PCRs PCB
- 3.3V (5V works as well but not with the PCB of PCR as far as I remember - just a wiring thing)
- Just select nothing for the font chip. Leave it to the page default --Please Select--. However font chip or not should not make any difference.

Changed the ip to 192.168.1.69 but the RepPanel is still not showing the printer.
Upon further investigation, looking at the connections to my router, my printer is not shown. This is very strange because the printer works perfectly, controlled by my computer or phone.
So it appears that the RepPanel can't find the printer because its not listed.
Any ideas why the Duet is not listed on the connections page of the router whilst all other connections are shown?PLEASE IGNORE THE ABOVE
RepPanel is now working, the problem was that in config I did not have " " around Machine name - M550 or password - M551
As soon as I corrected this everything worked, although The printer is still not shown on the connections page of the router.I am very happy Thanks to all
