Duet 0.6 and 5v regulator

Guys i receveid two days ago the last ( i hope it will change soon) order from RPP . It was a duet 0.6 . Then i thought that i need the 5voltage regualtor that rpp was shipping with duet. So are there any alternatives to it or i have to make one to make the printer work .

In few words is the 5v regulator necessary for the setup or there is an alternative ?

You can use the on-board switching regulator on the Duet by putting a jumper across the pins labelled 5V_EN (not the ones labelled 5V_ATX_EN). The reason that RRP shipped a separate 5V regulator with some (but not all) of their kits was that the on-board regulator created too much EMI for them to claim CE certification for the assembled printer.

The Duet 0.6 continues to be available from Replikeo, and the improved Duet 0.8.5 from Think3DPrint3D.

ok i ll put a jumper but do i have to remove the second one ( 5v_ATX_En) or i ll jumpered both of them?

Use one or the other. The 5V_ATX_EN jumper passes 5V power to the board from the 3-pin connector just below the main power in terminal block. If you are using an ATX PSU to power the printer, you can feed 5V power in through that if you wish, instead of using the on-board regulator.

ok got it david . I ll supply 5v trough my server psu ( it gives 5.55v without load ) .

But something more. On the web interface it say that it has an option to power on a psu ? I think it refers to psu from computers. Is it an easy proccedure or it needs a lot of modding and hacking ?

That web interface option refers to using the ATX_PS_ON pin (the middle one on that 3-pin terminal block) to turn the main power (12V if using an ATX PSU) on and off remotely. To make this work on a Duet 0.6, you need to add a pulldown resistor to the board. I wrote a post on how to do this a long time ago, probably in 2014.
