replacement received and all is working as it should now

hi thankyou i will do

@dragonn thankyou

@jackal interesting read thankyou

For anyone interested, the issue is that FAT32 only supports up to 32Gb. Larger capacity SD cards use EXFAT format but that's subject to Microsoft patents.

@dc42 do you have any recommendations for the fly back diode

@dc42 I'm using nema17 steppers 1.8 step angle. I'll definatly have to look into using an extra axis for the stepper, i did play with a flying extruder for a bit but couldn't get on with it but that sounds like a much better solution

I’ve found the same with about 50% of G32 and G30 S-1 commands. Been doing a lot of bed levelling lately.

DWC 2 and the latest firmware.

Why buy a clone? It usually comes down to money.

I can't say that I'm entirely innocent there. I have a fair amount of E3D clone parts around (Though both of my Duets are genuine. Or at least they were sold to me as such by authorised distributors. 🙂 ) It's all well and good to say that you're supporting development, but the reality of it all is that to the vast majority of purchasers out there, that's not worth a lot of money. It might be worth a little, but for the most part, people aren't buying this one in hopes that the next one will be that much more awesome. They'd probably just hold off and wait for that one. If the original company wants to keep making money, then their best bet is to stay ahead of the clones. I'm quite happy to see that the Duet is still moving forwards, and doing exactly that.

This doesn't look like it's going to be much cheaper. Well, maybe if you're local to the maker.

This is of course a problem when you make open source hardware, that there will be copycats that pop up. Hell with the Chinese factories, if they think they can make a profit, they're more than willing to reverse engineer something even if it isn't open source.

For my part, I've ordered some genuine E3D parts to replace some of my clone parts, hoping that the genuine parts will solve some issues that I'm having.

@elmoret : LOL. Yeah, I saw that 15A fuse too. Practically no point in it even being a fuse at that point. (I have a 15A fuse at my PSU, since that's what my PSU is rated for, so on my printer there's an approximately 0% chance of that fuse blowing.)

@deckingman I would think the arrangement in the top would not be correct for a 3mm filament sized Bowden tube. Also looking at the heat break drawings, the 1.75mm heat break uses a m7x1 thread where for some reason the 3mm heat break uses an m6x1

The part number is ATSAM4E8EA-AU or -AN. It's available from several of the usual electronic component distributors - Farnell/element14/Newark, RS, Digikey, Mouser etc. - and from Microchip Direct. Part ATSAM4E8EB-AU or -AN will probably work too, but I don't think we have qualified it yet.

@monster-delta said in Hall sensor endstops:

How close to ic should the cap be soldered is it within a couple of mm or can it be a few cm

I suggest 1cm max. Higher may work, it's hard to know in advance.

In that case it was probably caused by the high capacitance of the ribbon cable. Something probably caused data to be written to PanelDue, and that was likely being coupled back into the receive wire through the cable capacitance. The received data probably caused an error message, and the cycle repeated. I have seen this happen on computers. But I am surprised it caused network disconnections.

@dc42 thankyou i will definately send an email.
