Toolboard Issues Galore

@t3p3tony I added a new photo to the Google Drive I linked above: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1-VVO-xWKIqfXKgMzeZSEM_xptEBvgdBy

I cut out my existing wiring and directly attached it to the RJ11 screw terminals directly. I have the solder bridge resistor in play and the other two wires are linked.

@arcadekilla you show a joiner on the effective CAN out with the white and yellow wires but the bus needs to be terminated with a 120 ohm resistor unless you have soldered the jumper on the back of the tool board. For something that has been around a while now and people have been using, it is a pretty big claim stating that it is a firmware bug.

@arcadekilla said in Toolboard Issues Galore:

and the other two wires are linked.

The other two wires should NOT be linked - the are the "through" connection to any other CAN boards; shorting those shorts the entire bus!

They should be either to a terminating resistor, or if you use one on the board, just unconnected.

@samlogan87 @rjenkinsgb The only reason I claimed a firmware bug is my Toolboard is blinking 4 and 2 which indicates a firmware issue. I have the resistor bridge soldered. I will report back ASAP with the bridge cables not connected. For some reason, I got to the conclusion that the resister was simply adding to the circuit of the bridged wires, not completing the circuit without them. I really appreciate the clarification. If this works, I owe @rjenkinsgb a few beers.

@rjenkinsgb I took the jumper off. I have tested this before and got a weird reboot loop from the main board. The same thing is happening but I successfully pinged the board before the reboot happens. That almost sounds like resistor-less behavior. Going to check my solder bridge.

@rjenkinsgb @samlogan87 The resistor solder bridge is fine. Damn...

[rjenkinsgb]

Try resetting the tool board again, now the bus is connected?

@rjenkinsgb

Still doing this reboot loop. Now the M115 command does not recognize the board.

@rjenkinsgb OMFG. I just re did a all of the Duet firmware and now it's working! WOOHOO! THANK YOU GUYS!

@arcadekilla I'm glad you got this working. I'll mark this as solved.
