Flickering paneldue

@exerqtor does it still flicker if you disconnect it from the Duet and power it from its USB port? If so then please submit a warranty claim to warranty@duet3d.com.

Haven't tried that yet, i'll to it later today. Worked just fine before though, and the only thing i did was to shorten/recrimp the mobo side of the wires

A bad crimp connection in the 5V or ground wire could cause that flickering.

@dc42 didn't help to recrimp, but with this behaviour the most likely problem is the PD? In that case it would be a good reason to swap for a 5i or 7i

@exerqtor did you try powering the PD from its USB port?

Haven't gotten around to do it yet, got quite a backlogg of stuff i have to get printed first now that the printer is actually up and working

@dc42 Looks like I found the problem, like mentioned in another thread I just re-soldered the WiFi module. And now the flickering seems to have stopped. COULD a weak/bad solderpoint to the WiFi module have caused this? Or am i grasping at straws?

IMO it's unlikely that resoldering the wifi module would affect the PanelDue.

It's subsided atleast, so i'm a happy chap 😅

@Exerqtor I'll mark this as solved but feel free to revert it if the problem occurs again.
