Hi again!
I have some problems that I want to report just to know if they could come from using RC5 (if I have to upgrade to RC6 to solve...)
Some times, when moving, this error appears:
when powering the heatbed, usually the system disconnects:
I'm using the 0.28 pin to the "sbc.lpcTfrReadyPin", is it possible to use the pin 1.31, this one is on the same EXP2 connector and would come in the same shielded cable, so safer. I would try any case.
I would try to change driver's positions as driver 3 has never (until now) said anything about disconnected phases, just to discard defective drivers (TMC2208 UART).
Kind regards.

Warning: motor phase A may be disconnected reported by driver(s) 1usually driver 0 and/or driver 1, sometimes phase A, others B or both.
when powering the heatbed, usually the system disconnects:
Warning: Lost connection to Duet (Timeout while waiting for transfer ready pin)But this error I assume becomes from the external heatbed MOSFET as it is close to the Pi-SKR connection.

Yes I also get the driver warnings (pretty much always on the extruder driver in my case). But they are only a warning, so I just ignore them!
There should be no problem in switching to use P1.31. Personally I'd be tempted to switch it to P1.30 as that is the pin I use for the same function on my WiFi adaptor board. I'm not really sure why I decided to use P0.28 to be honest as P1.30 makes more sense! Once things settle down and I get access again to my soldering iron I will probably switch to that. I will also probably modify my adaptor board to add a reset button that is easy to get to!
BTW I've never seen any lost connection messages with my setup (Even with RC6 which runs the SPI bus at a much higher speed - 8MHz rather then 2MHz), but I only have a relatively short ribbon cable between the SKR and PI, 20cm I think. What length connector are you using?
Finally I hope that you will make your Touch screen project public, I'm sure it will be of interest to others using RRF.

Here is my modification of the firmware for the TFT screen.
Connect to AUX.
Tested for BIQU TFT24_V1.1. So it should work on the other TFT35 V1.0/V1.1/V1.2/V2.0/V3.0, TFT28, TFT24 V1.1, MKS 32

Hi @jay_s,
I can't ignore the Lost connection warning as it is real, so the bed is heating with no control and no other thing is controlled anymore (as the SKR is disconnected from the Pi). But this is something that comes with the powering on of the heated bed, so by now, I'll not use it 'till find some kind of sorting way to it. The other warnings, I'm ignoring at all.
@gloomyandy
Changed the tr pin to the P1.31 works fine (almost the same way as the P0.28). I was using a 50mm cable, but it makes it very difficult to find a good position for the SKR AND the Pi, so now I'm using a longer one (about 150mm) with the same results.
@bcmob
The TFT firmware on github has your modification, but the compiled .bin with that mod is only the 2.4" version? or you have compiled all the "sizes", I have a 3.5 one and want to check it, and the easy way is to have the release compiled file.

@ChemaFuji
So did switching pins help with your disconnect problem or do you still have that?
Oh and 150mm is pretty long cable to SPI over. This may be especially true with RC6 (and probably later) which ups the speed to 8MHz, so something to keep an eye on. It is easy to reduce the speed used for the SPI bus, but I'm not sure how running a slower speed will impact things.

I have been trying to use the latest sbc version on a skr1.3 board connected to a pi3.
I cannot get the pi to connect it only shows "DCS is not started" on the web page.
I can connect to the skr via usb and M122 returns the firmware info, so the firmware should be ok.
I have built the cable on a board so i do not think it is a bad connection.
Has anybody succeeded with the same combination?
Are there any checks I can do?
Thanks.

Questions...
1. What exactly do you mean by "latest sbc version" RC6?
2. What version of the DSF are you using? Is this from the stable or unsttable feed?
3. Have you downloaded the LPC modifications for DSF and used these to update the installed version?
4. Have you ever had a connection work between the SBC and the SKR board? If not you may have some sort of problem with the hardware.
5. How long is the cable you are using?
6. Do you have a sys/board.txt (with the correct entries in it for the SBC connection) on the SD card in the SKR?

Thank you both for the quick reply, I now have it working.
I am using RC6 and followed the wiki. I had the board.txt file in the root directory of the sd card in the skr, but as @gloomyandy stated it needs to be in the /sys directory. The board.txt example in the wiki has the old name "linux.TfrReadyPin" which I had to change to "sbc.lpcTfrReadyPin" . It would be worth making it clearer in the wiki.
Thanks again for your help.

@Micktol, glad you have things working now. Please be aware that there seem to be a fair number of issues with RC6 and DSF 1.3.1 most of which do not seem to be LPC related (at least as far as I know), so I would take care when using it. I've been printing things with it and so far not had any big issues, but I'm not leaving the printer unattended just in case!

@Micktol
Thanks for pointing that out. I have updated the wiki accordingly.
As gloomyandy has said, there have been a number of reports of prints stopping mid print. At the moment, this is all to do with the DSF running on the pi.
There is an updated release of the DSF (1.3.2) and DWC (2.1.2) due shortly but even then, all the issues won't be fixed.

Hi,
RC7 is now available. I've tested it a litlle with both SBC and WiFi modes. In SBC mode things seem to be more stable then with RC6.

Yes, this is a known problem.
There is an updated version of the plug-in that is due to be released at the weekend.
In the meantime, you can manually install it. See the last post here [forum.duet3d.com]

Hi Guys!
Finally I have solved the problem with DCS disconnecting when powering up the heated Bed, I used short (60mm) and coax cables (from old video cams). Now it works like a charm. Time to upgrade to RC7+1.3.2... Looking for problems Hahahaha.
@bcmob, I've installed the 3.5v2.0 touch screen with your forked firmware and it works too very well...
Thanks to all for your work. Regards.
