Duet 3 6HC DWC issue
-
Hi Everyone,
I'm having an issue and I'm not sure what happened. I just updated the cord from my Duet 3 6HC to the 3HC with the cord lined below.

After doing this my DWC wasn't picking up the heater that is plugged into the 3HC.
So I decided to try and update to the newest firmware through the DWC, which my web browser bugged out and I had to exit.
Now I cant open the DWC for my duet board, but all of the lights on the board are on like usual.
I'm still new to this and honestly I'm not sure what to do next. Any help is much appreciated.
Let me know if you need more from me. I'm hoping that the Duet board isnt bricked
I wasn't sure if I should put this in this category, I was going off of the last thing I did which was a Firmware update attempt.

@gamecrazeddork do the red activity LEDs on both boards blink slowly and in sync? That would indicate that they are both running firmware and communicating with each other.
Are you running the Duet in standalone mode, or with an attached Raspberry Pi?
-
@dc42 the Diag light on the 3HC is flashing rapidly, but the status light on the Duet 3 6HC is solid red no flashing.
I was using it in standalone mode, but do have a raspberry pi 4 that I was going to hook up at a later date.

I'm kind of thinking I may have corrupted my firmware. I tried to us YAT via USB to the Duet 3 6HC to use the M115 command.
It connects to the terminal using COM6, but it seems unresponsive to my command.
I can't connect to DWC still
.I just want to get this printer running Ugh

Can you send M122 and M122 B# where #is the can address of the expansion board and post the results?

I sent the M122 to the Duet board via YAT and all is says is sending, then nothing happens.
-
Would there be another way besides YAT and DWC to get this information?
I tried Pronterface and it doesn't even want to connect to the Duet Board.

Ok so both the 3.3v and 5v LED's are lit up and the board is showing device manager as COM6.
It still isn't responding to anything I send in the Terminal.

It sounds like something went wrong during the firmware update, and you need to reload the firmware on the Duet 6HC before you can do anything else with it.
You need the "Bossa" tool to install the firmware via USB; see the instructions here:

@rjenkinsgb Thank you the board is now up and running again with DWC access. I'm still not able to get the 3HC to connect to the mainboard.
I currently have the 6HC and the 3HC connected, but still cant get the expansion board to connect. The main board LED is blinking nice and slow, while the Expansion is Fast and vigorous. I attempted to look at the firmware using M115 B1 and was met with an error, I then tried to update the Firmware using M997 B1 and also got an error code.
Any suggestion? I'm hoping its not the cords.
-
Have you gone through setting up for can communication between the boards?

@phaedrux yeah I went through that link and nothing worked, I ended up going to a local store and picking up an RJ11 Straight Data cable and now its working.
I guess the other one I bought wasn't as advertised.
Both boards are flashing in sync now and I was able to install the same firmware version on both.
Everything is working now! Thanks everyone for the help.
