RRF 3.01 RC11 problems

A Former User

While i doubt it'd make a difference check if there is a newer compatible version of DWC, then post the DWC version and see if chrishamm or dc42 has anything to add I guess (or anyone else for that matter)

@bearer , @dc42 , @chrishamm , DWC version is 2.1.6, firmware version is 3.01-RC11+1on Duet Wifi and panel due firmware is 1.23.2, released today,but I was already having problems with the previous version.
I remain available for further checks

Please check that PanelDue is also set to 57600 baud, on the Setup page of PanelDue.

Latest PanelDue firmware is 1.24 available at https://github.com/dc42/PanelDueFirmware/releases/tag/1.24. Instructions for installing PanelDue firmware are at https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/PanelDue_Firmware_update.

@dc42 , i have the same problem with 1.24. Sorry but I saw that in the dropbox folder you had a panel due file (1.23.2) that I installed.
The bauds are set correctly.
Today I downgraded to stable RRF3.0 and M122 works properly from DWC while I continue to have problems with panel two (I don't see the contents of the gcode and macro folder), I noticed that when I run some commands (ex. M584 P5) from the console nothing happens while M122 and homing work properly from panel due.
I tried to connect panel due to Duet3 (I have RRF 3.01 RC9 or 10, I don't remember) and it seems to work correctly. Can it be a communication problem with the duet wifi board?

Strange, the RRF 3.01-RC11, DWC 2.1.6 and PanelDue 1.24 combination is working well for me and others.

Can it be a communication problem with the duet wifi board?

Could be, but I'm not aware of any reason why RRF 3.01-RC11 would behave differently from 3.0. I assume you are using DuetWiFiServer release 1.23.

Marco Bona

@dc42 , yes, I'm using that version of DuetWifiServer.
Is there any procedure to check the integrity of the board?
I'm starting to think I have some problems with that card and I believe that the continuous panel due restarts during printing are due to some communication problem but I don't know how I could verify it.
Initially I thought that they were due to something that went to the ground but do not happen according to a logic.
I also checked almost all the electrical wiring but I don't find anything strange.
Not having shielded cables can it be caused by some interference with the motors?

PanelDue restarts are not normal. Perhaps something is pressing on the PanalDue reset button; or there is a bad connection in the 5V or ground wire between the Duet and PanelDue; or the 5V rail is unstable for some reason.

Marco Bona

@dc42 , Ok, said so I assume that the problem may be due to the 5V line because I find the same problem with both the ribbon cable and the 4-wire one.
With Duet3 I have not yet been able to try because I am finishing wiring everything and I think it will still take some time.
Thanks for the clarification.

Are you certain it is just the PanelDue restarting, not the Duet? What do you see when it restarts?

Marco Bona

@dc42 , only panel due restarts, I see the initial screen with the logo, instead the printing proceeds without problems. The strange thing is that when I restart Duet wifi a series of line errors are displayed but I cannot tell you which ones because it is too fast to do it and they do not remain stored in the console. Tomorrow night I check the 5V, but if it were unstable that line can also create all the other problems?
