It would be great to have a single button to zip all the files in the SD Card and download it. I know you can currently download all the system files, but it would be nice to include the other directories to simplify backup process.

1. Option to include specific directories (ie: gcodes, macros, sys, www, etc.)
2. Option to automatically append the current date and time to the filename to make the names unique

If this is not possible, at least having the option to "Download as ZIP" the files in the "macros" folder similar to the system files would be good. When I select all the macro files and folders and right click, there are no options to zip the files to back them up. The only option is to "delete" the files.

@Pao de Forma,

Stop being an idiot and you won't have to replace it with an inferior driver chip. If you have enough skills to solder and replace the TMC2660 chip with a A4988 driver and update the firmware yourself, you won't even have to ask the question in this forum. Stop wasting DC42's time and let him work.

If you really want a challenge, replace the core i9 extreme CPU on an Intel board with an 8088 CPU. It will keep you busy.

Any chance of adding function to download all the macros as a zip file instead of just having a "delete" option only?

iap4e.bin

I still had the original iap4e.bin file from 6/11/2016. I didn't realize I had to update that until I looked at the bottom of the 1.21 which mentions the iap4e.bin should be revised also. Thanks.

Thanks for confirming. The original iap4e.bin file had the firmware filename hard coded as "DuetWiFiFirmware.bin". Later versions use the filename passed to them by the firmware that is being replaced.

I just did a quick test with the old iap4e.bin and it won't take the 2.0RC1 update. As soon as I updated the file to the latest one from 1.21, the update worked perfectly. Thanks for all your help. Hopefully, this will help someone else if they have not updated that file.

The diff lube stays on gears during rotation so it helps cushion the gaps. Its the preferred lube in this application. I had the same issues and the 10K diff lube completely eliminated any ripples on the surface. Now its all smooth.

David,

I think its better if you put a picture on the wiki for the 2 wire and the 4 wire config to make things clearer. Hopefully this image will help users out. This is for the production board, the jumpers are reversed for the pre-production boards.
