On-line documentation or wiki for the Duet board?

On-line documentation or wiki for the Duet board?
April 27, 2015 11:06AM
I'm teetering on the edge, trying to make up my mind about replacing my Arduino/RAMPS setup with a Duet.

I do know that it should be a lot better for my newly-made delta, but I'm a bit dismayed by the lack of 'official' documentation. I've already found dc42's very good pages on upgrading the Kossel, but I haven't anything else. If you compare this with the wiki for the Smoothieboard, the latter is much more comprehensive (although a little confused in places!).

Does anyone know of any other guides or documentation?

Here are some resources for using the Duet - check out the RepRapPro commissioning guide in particular:

- Overview and wiring diagram (excluding Z probe and PanelDue): [reprap.org]

- RepRapPro guide for commissioning Duet-based printers, including updating firmware: [reprappro.com]. You may also find their wiring diagrams for the Ormerod, Huxley and Mendel useful.

- Gcodes: [reprap.org] (there is a table showing which firmwares support which gcodes, and this is kept up to date for the Duet/RepRapFirmware). Someone produced a document listing all the GCodes supported by RepRapFirmware, but it's out of date now.

- Preconfigured config.g files for various printers: [github.com] and [github.com]

- Short guide to using my firmware fork: [github.com]

- Wiring and commissioning a Duet on a delta: [miscsolutions.wordpress.com]

- Official RepRapPro firmware binaries: [github.com]

- My fork firmware binaries: [github.com]

- Zombiepantslol's DuetWebControl web interface: [github.com] (works with my fork and his own fork of RepRapFirmware)

- General support: either here, or the Ormerod forum (most of the thousands of Duet boards in the field are in Ormerods)

- PanelDue to Duet wiring: [miscsolutions.wordpress.com]

- Duet schematic: [github.com]

I agree that it would be nice to have a good wiki on the Duet.

That's an impressive list! I've got some reading to do... smiling smiley
(I knew about the RepRap wiki page, but I didn't find anything else off that list with Google searches - or, if it was there, it was well hidden)

Many thanks

Or even a list similar to yours, somewhere convenient. smiling smiley

I've added that list to the Duet page on the RepRap wiki.
