Debian packages for rc versions
-
I want to run DWC 3.4.2-rc1 on the SBC, but I don't know how to find it, or if there even is a package available.
Tips?

@gnydick To switch from stable to unstable package feed, or to downgrade to an earlier version, see https://docs.duet3d.com/User_manual/Machine_configuration/DSF_RPi#updates

@droftarts Thanks, done!

on this very topic, have you noticed that the RPI gets very sluggish after a few prints or after a few days of being powered up? I have two duet 3 running RPI's and both act the same way. It seems to have started with the RRF3 ish revisions.

@baird1fa Maybe the power supply for your Pi isn't sufficient. Unlike regular USB devices the Raspberry Pi requires a bit more voltage (5.2V vs 5V), else it will throttle the CPU speed at some point.
-
@chrishamm Yeah, I thought that too but I have a dedicated 5V power supplies for both of them. One is using a 5amp and the other is a 12amp buck converter so I would think I have enough power I have also added cooling fans to the raspberry pi's to increase the cooling. They still get very sluggish after a few days of being powered up or after a long print

Does it get faster again if you reboot the RPi?
Windows PCs used to exhibit similar behaviour. I think one of the things that improved it may have been when the Windows low-fragmentation heap became the default.

@dc42 it does get faster again when I reboot it. I just thought it was something to do with the duet software (I know nothing about RPI's) as it didn't become an issue until RRF3 ish.

@baird1fa You do need 5.2V for the Raspberry Pi, else it may throttle the CPU at some point. You can check if it is throttled using the
vcgencmdtool, see https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-low-voltage-warning/ -> "Using the vcgenmcd Command". -
@chrishamm I will look into that. Thanks for the tip.

@baird1fa mine has been great so far. I never turn off my printer.
