@chrishamm pressing the button while it is on?

Thanks for the help!

@jay_s_uk the firmware was updated back in the day as it was one of the early cards. Odd that it would now be out of date, maybe it was reset somehow? The commands don't work so maybe I need to do it manually again...?

Cheers,

Hello,

I had to do a clean install on a new SD card, I previously had the Duet3 working with a Pi 4B absolutely fine, however now in DWC it stays at "Status: Starting", doesn't seem to detect my config, probably because it is not starting correctly, and in the diagnostics it looks like I have an incompatible firmware, I have tried updating everything as per the documentation, Pi should be updated fine using the latest DuetPi and then updated just in case, the duet firmware shouldn't have changed, as it was working previously, though I ran the update on that too. What am I missing?

I get this on startup:
Warning: Incompatible firmware, please upgrade as soon as possible
Connection interrupted, attempting to reconnect...
DCS has been stopped

So I have my duet3 up and running with an sbc (rpi 4) and I was wondering, is it possible to connect a speaker to the audio jack on the raspberry pi and use it to reproduce audio files on command? The use case would be to play a specific notification when there is a crash, when there is a print started, ended, filament out sensed etc.

Ok great thanks, one last question, as the ground pin for the probe is already grounded, will I be good to go if I just put the white temp cable into the temp pin, or do I need to duplicate the ground cable to ground via both connectors?

I have been scouring the forum for any advice on using the PINDA 2 probe (with thermistor) with the Duet3, it seems that there are some use cases with previous duet boards but I can't find much regardingthe Duet3. I know that RRF3 supports the use of z probes with thermistor, but I was hoping someone could give advice on wiring and configuration.

Can the IO pins deal with probing and thermistor data, or do I need to spit the wiring into two headers, probing into IO pins and separate thermistor wiring into the temp pins? Do I then need to use M308 to configure a sensor that uses the thermistor, then specify that sensor to provide the temperature compensation in G31?

Thanks!
Xavier

I just changed firmware to 3.0 and it works! I owe you all a pint of beer

Fantastic support, thanks!

Now let's see what else I can break

Ok there are a lot of instructions since my last post and I am not entirely sure how to proceed now as a new user, I do not need to be on the bleeding edge as dc42 suggested, I just want it working for the moment.

In case it helps I can confirm the followng:

• The Duet has no SD card inserted
• I have not touched the jumpers on the duet, so they are where they were when I received the board (Internal 5V jumper and 5V -> SBC jumper inserted)
• "apt list 2>/dev/null | grep duet" returns:
  duetcontrolserver/stable,now 1.2.4.0 armhf [installed,automatic]
  duetruntime/stable,now 1.2.4.0 armhf [installed,automatic]
  duetsd/stable,now 1.0.5 all [installed,automatic]
  duetsoftwareframework/stable,now 1.2.4.0 armhf [installed]
  duettools/stable,now 1.2.4.0 armhf [installed,automatic]
  duetwebcontrol/stable,now 2.0.7-1 all [installed,automatic]
  duetwebserver/stable,now 1.2.3.1 armhf [installed,automatic]

Also the red light next to the reset is blinking o and off every second.

This is the output:

Thanks for the response bearer!

So the duet was setup a couple of days ago to run standalone, and I was able to connect properly and updated to the latest firmware (RC6).

What would you suggest given this?

So I have decided to use my Pi4 to connect to my duet3, and followed this guide:
https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/SBC_Setup_for_Duet_3

I have imaged a new good quality SD card with this image via etcher and inserted it into the Pi4:
https://pkg.duet3d.com/DuetPi.zip

Both the Pi and the Duet are connected to their own power supplies, and the ribbon cable is correctly connected and firmly seated.

When I power up the devices, I see it all load up on the screen directly connected to the Pi via HDMI, once the OS is loaded it opens the browser as expected with DWC also as expected, however as DWC loads it shows the connection bar trying to connect forever and at the bottom right gives me an error message saying "Failed to connect to duet3 DCS is unavailable".

I have tested opening google on the browser and it works so internet connectivity shouldn't be the issue.

Thanks in advance for the assistance!
Cheers,
Xavier

@Xavier works thanks!

@dc42 fantastic!! In the morning I will give it a shot and let you know!

OK one step closer! The SD card must have been bad, a new one I tried worked and let me in.I am on firmware 3.0beta12, so I am trying to update the firmware, however whether I do it via DWC or SD card followed by M997 S0 I get an error message telling me that Duet3iap_sd_MB6HC.bin not found. I have scoured the web and can't find this file, the closest thing I find at least by name is what already comes in the release: Duet3_SDiap_MB6HC.bin, I have even tried renaming this to see if the naming convention had changed, it looks like it tricked it into wanting to start but then just threw a generic error and didnn't want to continue.

Any help locating this file? I have tried with RC6 and the first stable release of 3.0

Thanks!

@chrishamm I did not format the sdcard, it came with the duet already like this and with files on it, it would very strange for formatting to be why right?

Setting up a new duet 3 in standalone mode for now, however when trying to access the web control page it loads empty.

These are the steps to reproduce:

1. Took the web control files from the online configurator and unpacked them into the sd card www folder.

2. Connected the duet 3 to the router via ethernet cable, my router confirmed the ip 192.168.1.66.

3. Connect to 192.168.1.66 in the latest versions of Firefox, Chrome and IE/Edge just in case, in all cases the tab reads out correctly that it is the duet web control 2 page, however the page itself remains blank.

4. I tried repeating from step 1 manually taking the latest release from github and replacing the web control files in the www folder.

What could be causing this?
