Connecting 2 duets 3
-
Hello. Readin 3.4.1 documentation, it says that 2 duet 3 boards can now be connected each other with CAN.
My question is: 1 of the boards is a slave, or they are just independant of each other but they can share the sensor infor, communicate each other , etc?
Could I have 2 printers connected with CAN so 1 can know for example the status of a sensor/input on the other and switch on/off inputs, heaters, etc on the other for example? -
@tinchus It is now possible to use a Duet 6HC main board as an expansion board. The term "expansion board" should answer your questions - that is to say, you can use a 6HC in the same way as a 3HC expansion board. But it has to be the last board in the CAN chain and you can't daisy chain multiple 6HCs the way that you can with 3HCs.
