Issues setting up duet 3
-
doing some more thinking - if its a new board it probably shipped with RRF 3.0b12. So you would have to install 3.0 release first, then update to 3.1.1.
(if you didn't get a download link to a DuetWebControl.zip file then grab https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/releases/download/3.0/DuetWebControl-SD-2.04.zip and extract to /www on the SD card before putting it in the Duet3)
download https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/releases/download/3.0/Duet2and3Firmware-3.0.zip and upload it to DuetWebControl once you're connected.
then repeat with https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/releases/download/3.1.1/Duet2and3Firmware-3.1.1.zip

@bearer at this point everything is confusing me.
without any sd in my duet, I can't get it connected to my computer. is that normal? -

without a sd card you can (only) connect with usb and use a serial terminal (ref the getting connected guide).
at that point you can enable the network (but the files for the webserver should be on the sd card so network won't help much without the card)
-
@bearer I tried exactly that and got an error “permission denied”
-
and from my understanding I need to connect the duet first before I can do pretty much anything
-
when connecting via serial? which software, which operating system?

sort of, but if you have the network config in config.g + the DuetWebControl files in place and boot with the SD card you should be able to access http://duet3/ just like that.
-
@bearer yeah I just connected the USB. I use Mac and typed the commands in Terminal exactly as the guide said
-
Mac, right. the permission denied probaly means you need elevated access rights to run the command on the Mac.
-
@bearer The DuetWebControl files, aren't they just the files from the "SD_Card_Contents.zip" download? or do you need to change them?
-
@Vanbluca said in Issues setting up duet 3:
"SD_Card_Contents.zip"
they are likely ancient. use these instead

Sorry in advance, cant resist......
And respect to @bearer you are a very brave man indeed..........
Might I suggest you take up another form of additive manufacturing which might suit you better.
Its called knitting, two needles and a ball of yarn, nothing more to do, and away you go...
-
@CaLviNx Also can't resist, but you do realise that your "advice" will bite you in the ar*e the next time you ask for advice (as you did fairly recently IIRC).
-
And I think you well know it's not often you see me asking anything let alone advice, I think in all the years you could count that on one hand.................
Asking for assistance is a LAST resort, and even then I have found some of the assistance to turn out plain wrong (but for the sake of respect I haven't posted about it) So back to mainly working it out on my own.

@CaLviNx @deckingman Do we need to create a forum for old farts to snip at each other?

Excellent idea! I guess now that you've called me an old fart, you'll want to join too.
