Firmware package 3.2beta1 released

is there an issue with the certificate I get the following
rebooted the PI and waited a bit longer for it to come up and tried again this time a update/upgrade appeared to work however DWC Fails to load and I get DCS not started.
What have I done wrong?
-
@Dougal1957 We are using a custom certificate for package signing which is installed by default in the DuetPi image (to
/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/duet3d.gpg). Sometimes when the package server renews the package lists users may experience errors from apt but that should be an exception.This file is available here as well, but no normal user should need it. From your other thread I suspect you managed to install the latest packages though
-
@chrishamm indeed just re-tried the sudo-update and it worked that time
-
I've got to plead ignorant here and ask for a bit of assistance with upgrading DWC from 3.1.1 to 3.2. Are there instructions posted somewhere I'm overlooking? Thanks..

presumably you need to switch to the unstable package repo; ref second paragraph https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Getting_Started_With_Duet_3#Section_Software_Installation
-
@oozeBot You need to connect to your pi via SSH, then run
sudo curl https://pkg.duet3d.com/duet3d-unstable.list -o /etc/apt/sources.list.d/duet3d.list sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade sudo curl https://pkg.duet3d.com/duetcontrolserver.service -o /usr/lib/systemd/system/duetcontrolserver.service sudo systemctl daemon-reloadWait a few seconds and you should be on 3.2-b1.

@chrishamm @bearer Thanks! this worked..
-
@chrishamm stable and unstable can safely co-exist now - or was that never an issue just lost in translation?
-
I've updated the DSF and DWC releases and apt packages once again. The work-around as mentioned before should be no longer required.
For Duets in standalone mode there is a new DWC version available, too, which can be obtained either from the RRF or DWC release page.

the duet2eth with special firmware links to this same duet3d controlserver or there's a separate one ?
-
@arhi DSF om the SBC is the same
-
installed

@dc42 I know I'm being PITA but I have to and I apologize
It is impossible to figure out what are the branches of each project required to make a certain build. The BuildInstructions.md is not very up2date. So it would be cool if you could, for e.g. in these forum release posts, add info on what branch of each project goes into this release :). Ideally adding a same TAG as release on each product would be awesome
-
what is the nature of the continuous rotation feature you added? Does it actually do shortest-distance calculation or does it just remove limits?
Thanks -
It does shortest distance calculation on G0 moves. Caution, it's not been tested separately in this release, although the underlying code is known to work for SCARA kinematics in previous releases.
-
Thanks. Would it be possible to add an option in the 3.2 release for this to apply to g1 moves as well?

G1 moves are normally extruding moves, laser cutting/engraving or CNC cutting moves, so it would be inappropriate. It's only for G0 moves that the planner has the freedom to decide how to reach the target position, subject to not allowing Z to get any lower than a straight-line move would.
-
Ok, I guess for my application I can just momentarily change the max speed of the machine to achieve a slow, shortest-distance move.
You don't think I could add the g1 functionality in a custom build? It is just that this new feature has eliminated the need for a post-processor that I wrote and it would be nice to fully eliminate the need for that. Or could it be just an option that is not default? -

@dc42 Five axis painting machine and foam milling machine, my senior work in college. Attached is an image and video of the plastic prototype making a test painting of line-based moves if you are interested (it still isn't working how I want it to but getting there).
Essentially it has a continuous rotation axis that rotates parallel to the z. So certain circular moves with the brush following tangent end up sending the head on an "unnecessary" rotation which is due to the IK sending it a G0 A1 when it is at position A355. All GCode being generated in python and rhino/grasshopper, and right now I have a post processor checking for this extra rotation and sending a G92 to set A to -5 before the above mentioned G0 Move. This creates delays in the movement and can get messy.
Duet 2 and rrf have been the key drivers behind this machine and amazing so far. Also built this thing on a cnc running duet 3. Very exited to have this continuous rotation feature now.
