@phaedrux That appears to have fixed it. I feel really dumb after changing just about everything but that setting. Thanks again for the help and hopefully I'm done bugging you smart guys with dumb guy questions!

It should be able to reach since I have a 280ish mm build plate but am aiming for a much smaller area than that. I remember reading somewhere about that dive height so I’ll give that a shot next. Thank you!

Hello All,

I finally got my delta to the point of calibration after various issues that were all self-induced. When I try to auto calibrate, it gets tot he point of touching the various spots on the bed by starting at the outside then working its way in but I have an issue with the initial 3 spots not going down far enough to touch. Once it passes those three and proceeds to the final 4 spots (including x0y0 it is able to touch and registers perfectly. Almost like I have a configuration problem with one of the settings so hoping someone has some insight on something I did wrong.

Here's my config.g file for the delta.

Turns out my SD card must've died on me somewhere along the way as replacing it and dropping in the backup I took of it before the firmware update seems to have gotten me access to web control again. Unfortunately, I have another new issue! It's asking for a password that I'm not aware of in order to access web control. Currently looking through the docs hoping to find what the default is.

Thanks everyone for the help so far.

Edit: Using M551 I was able to get in and change config.g file with a password I know. All is well for now until I end up breaking this thing again!

@droftarts I finally got some firmware to upload to the board after borrowing a coworkers windows machine. Had no luck with getting it to work via a linux machine I had lying around. I now have a new issue - upon connecting to the board with serial tools and sending M552 to start establishing a network connection I get this error:

M115
FIRMWARE_NAME: RepRapFirmware for Duet 3 MB6HC FIRMWARE_VERSION: 3.4.0 ELECTRONICS: Duet 3 MB6HC v1.01 or later FIRMWARE_DATE: 2022-03-15 18:57:26
ok
M552
Error: M552: Network-related commands are not supported when using an attached Single Board Computer
ok

As of this time I don't have any SBC connected or plans to use one. I can't seem to find anywhere in the docs for what to do next to get rid of this error.

Any insight?

@droftarts Good info - I'm currently trying to get ubuntu on a flash drive but can't seem to get my M1 Mac to allow me to boot from it. One issue after another today apparently!

Currently my board has a solid light and per your prior response is telling me the firmware is gone. Not sure what could have happened to it during that update but it appears to have lost its firmware during that process through DWC. Bad board from the factory possibly? I was able to get on DWC during initial install of the board/wiring to the printer itself, but once uploading that new firmware for my delta it decided to not cooperate anymore. I specifically made sure to avoid the erase pins by putting some electrical tape around them so I know I didn't accidentally bridge them.

@droftarts Thanks for the info - I must have been reading the docs wrong and thinking it would work for my board.

Hello all,

I'm having a really rough time trying to get firmware back on my MB6HC via my Mac.

I created new firmware for my delta using the reprap builder and when I went to upload it via the web control page it simply loaded and loaded but then never did anything after that. I let it sit for a few hours and came back to a bricked board.

I've tried following every tutorial to do this but can't get anywhere with it since Bossa won't launch and the command line version crashes upon start.

Does anyone have any insight or am I stuck just ordering a new board?
