Bootloader ID: not available

That definitely means it's on an old version of the bootloader, so worth updating.

And i admit i have a little bit of hesitance to update the bootloader on an older toolboard, as i tried that a year or so ago on another v1.0 board which bricked it.

I wonder if this, and the updating malfunctioning, are indicative of something else? Possibly CAN wiring, or CAN termination problems?

The bricking occurred on my other machine. And it has been updated with no issues (although not to 3.6 yet)

I dislike RJ11 connectors, I removed them on both of my 6hc boards and added JST-XH connectors with twisted pair silicone wire.

My day job is as a network installation engineer, including fibre optics, so im happy enough with my connections.

@Mr-Crispin you may have been activating the tool by clicking tool0 in DWC before using it. Or your slicer may be selecting the tool when printing. But ultimately a tool needs to be active before you can control the extruder motor associated with it

If it's a bug we can reproduce we can try to fix it.

@Mr-Crispin I’d first update DWC to the version that ships with firmware rc1, and see if that fixes the error. Or preferably update both firmware and DWC to the latest release: https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/releases

@Mr-Crispin I couldn’t find anything on there. Do you happened to know their username?
