PanelDueFirmware 3.2.3 released

wilriker

I am pleased to announce the release of PanelDueFirmware 3.2.3.

Version 3.2.3

Upgrade Notes:

This release is compatible with RepRapFirmware 3.2-beta1 or later. It will partially work with RepRapFirmware 3.1.1 but not with any older version.
Flashing this release will reset the configuration to defaults

Limitations

Due to the lack of RAM this build will not run on version 1 or early version 2 PanelDue boards that use the ATSAM3S2B chip.
- Version 1.0, 1.1 and earlier v2 PanelDue: ATSAM3S2B processor (64MHz, 32kb RAM, 128kB flash) - these are the ones that the new firmware probably won't run on.
- Version 2 PanelDue manufactured from August 2016: ATSAM3S4B processor (64MHz, 48kb RAM, 256kb flash). Will run the new firmware, but not as fast as version 3 will.
- Version 3 PanelDue, including all 5i and 7i: ATSAM4S4B processor, 120MHz, 64kB RAM, 256kb flash. Will run the new firmware.
There will be no reliable status updates coming from RepRapFirmware while waiting for heaters to reach temperature (and some other cases) before RRF 3.2-beta3.2.

New and changed features:

Sped up intialization phase
Increased poll rate from 1s to 500ms and add adaptive slow down if too many out-of-buffer occur

Bug fixes:

Command input field did not show inserted character

Hi,
My on screen keyboard problem solved, many thanks.
I will waiting V2 board 5" LCD solution

Not sure why, but after I upgraded paneldue, printer has strange pauses during prints. For about a 3-4 seconds it stops, and then resumes printing. Duet 3 MB6HC 3.2-beta3.2
I had no issues like that with same duet firmware and paneldue 3.2.2

oliof

@BoA and to confirm, the pauses cease as soon as you disconnect the PanelDue?

BoA

@oliof What Do You mean by "disconnect"? I have pauses just in the middle of the print without touching paneldue. Only variable seems to be upgrading paneldue firmware.

oliof

I meant unplugging it to see whether it's just the configuration for a paneldue or the paneldue sending commands.

wilriker

@oliof It is even simpler than that: selecting the Setup tab will stop PanelDueFirmware from sending any commands (except while initializating).

@BoA Can you confirm that the same GCode prints fine when run without the PanelDue, i.e. either cable disconnected, panel on Setup tab or Aux channel disabled via M575?

BoA

OK. This seems to be coincidence. Printer pauses for a few seconds in random places even without panel connected.

Can't figure out why none of v3 firmwares are working on Version 2 PanelDue 7. Chip says that it is ATSAM3S4B. But after flashing does not boot. Last version that works is v1.24

wilriker

@worekarolis I am currently looking into this. I have an assumption I was not able to verify/falsify yet.

I have now released PanelDueFirmware 3.2.4 that is mainly intended to fix the issues with v2 boards.
