Issues with CAN bus on 6hc and 3hc / 1lc

bilsch

Hello,

I've been working on my build for a bit. I have the 6hc control board + a 1lc and 3hc connecting via can bus.

Initially over usb on the bench I was getting general connectivity from the tool board, could read voltage and run a stepper. I was having some issues and shelved that for a bit - wanted to get everything mounted, cables run etc.

I am now no longer seeing anything on the can bus. With only the 1lc ( and resistor in place on wire ) and the 6hc - no connectivity. Ditto with the 3hc ( only ) connected and with the jumpers on.

Full output from M122.

All have been recently purchased ( last few months ). I'm able to move my x/y/z from the 6hc no problem. Read temps etc - just nothing on the boards via can bus.

@bilsch
So just to confirm, when you had it on the “bench” you had working CAN? Or you just had the main board running over USB power?

When everything is powered up are the status LEDs on all three boards blinking in time with one another?

How is the 1lc wired up? Is it the last board in the chain?
Which revision of the 1lc did you purchase?

@alex-cr When I was using it on the bench I was drawing from usb + I added a 12v to the 6hc and other boards ( could pull many amps if I needed but never did )

I see on the 3hc or 1lc board a single blink followed shortly by 4 which I believe means its not happy about something

I found https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/17928/duet-3-expansion-3hc-v1-0-no-can-connection/3 which seems to show the same symptoms so going to read over that thread

Ok, issue solved wow!

So I probably missed it but getting the Duet2and3Firmware-3.3.zip and uploading it via the web interface put the firmware files in place. Once I followed the other forum article and got that hooked up - its working just fine! ( well, 3hc is still need to hit the 1lc )

bilsch

yea confirmed the tool board just loaded up

Ok, noted new flow! Sorry for the wild excursion there!

@bilsch I'm glad you solved it.
