@chas2706 I've updated https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/SD_Card#Section_Creating_the_file_structure and https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Firmware_Overview#Section_SD_card_structure.
Also, the Configuration Tool has been updated and does now create a /firmware folder if you select '3.3 or later' as your firmware version on the 'General' page. Otherwise firmware files are put in /sys. But note that you don't need the firmware files on the SD card to run (the firmware is already flashed to the Duet processor), only to update.

Thanks for looking into this and updating.
I was changing form SBC mode to Standalone and came across these.

@fcwilt said in My Duet Experiences:

However if it was announced by the scientific community that the laws of physics were not constant but varied with location I would not be surprised as it would explain many things in life. 😉

Doesn't quantum mechanics suggest that very thing? 😉

The single probe check just contains:

G30 S-1 ;Probe the bed at the current XY position. When the probe is triggered, do not adjust the Z coordinate.
G1 Z5

Looking through the documentation again I found I did not have a M574 Z1 S2 ; configure Z-probe endstop for low end on Z

in my config.g for endstops

Now if I do multiple single probe checks the results are consistent so I will re-calibrate Z and see if the problem has gone away.

In the meantime thanks for your help.

@chas2706 I would be interested, could you please upload your code?

Ok sounds logical, will add it thanks.

Ok thanks for the info.
Will try when available.

@chas2706 Thanks, fixed.

That might be the --app parameter that does that. Interesting learned something new today!

Anyways, glad it worked out!

@deckingman I did wonder if it was worth changing that!
Cheers.

@SIam Not if you have Duet3 with SBC!

@Danal said in DSF Upgrade Problem:

sudo apt-get install vlc-plugin-qt

Thank you. Installing the missing dependencies worked!

Yes It would definitely help to save time.

@deckingman

Thanks I will try later.

@Danal

It cant be the case for me. The system is all up to date with the latest RRF, DSF and DWC.

I re-installed my slicer software and now I can upload the files without error but I have some strange things happening:

After uploading a test print and starting the print, as the heaters were reaching temperature I got an e-stop message and had to abandon the print.
No physical e-stop had been pressed by me.
The second start of print went fine without any problems. Then I decided to print again with slightly different jerk speeds. For some unknown reason the print stopped half way through with the extruder stuck on top of the print.
There were no print finished messages or anything but I clicked on cancel print and got the message " Cant cancel print, no print running".

@dc42
Thanks David that works great now!

@deckingman

Thought so, just making sure.

Cheers

@deckingman
Thanks again for your help. I had the very same setup on my Duet 2 board which initiated an e-stop but I was sure that kept the software in an e-stop situation because the switch remained closed.
I don't know what is different but I just tried it again and it works. I can reset the board after the e-stop is initiated and with the switch still made.
So now I am using M581 T0 and it works a treat.

Ok thanks for your help.
