Hi
I've not used my printer since April.
I'm currently using firmware 057r-dc42
Would anyone know what the most suitable Firmware upgrade would be?
Thanks

Jon

Still new here, but I think this is the link: [github.com]

0.78c is the current master. I'm not sure what version dc42's firmware branch is on.

Also...

Make sure you use the SD card files from the firmware - DO NOT use your old config.g file. Copy any special settings from your old config.g file into the new version. Also, the pin that the proximity probe connects to has changed, see the current wiring diagram: [reprappro.com]
Full list of changes here, if updating from 0.57 (again, not sure of all the changes in dc42's branch):
to 0.65e [reprappro.com]
to 0.78 [reprappro.com]

The latest version of my fork is 0.78t-dc42. See [forums.reprap.org].

If upgrading from 0.57 series, you will need to:

1. Turn the X motor connector the other way round where it plugs into the Duet.

2. Move the Z probe blue wire (and white wire if you are using one of my hot end boards) to a different pin on the Duet.

3. Update your config.g file as well, see Ian's post.

4. Change T0 to T1 in your slicer start gcode.

All the above also apply if you upgrade to RRP 0.78c.

You don't need to turn the X motor connector around - we haven't changed this in firmware. The wiring diagram for Ormerod 1 is the same, with X motor wiring in the reverse order from the others. We have added a gcode to change the direction of any axis: M569 [reprap.org] . The wiring diagram for Ormerod 2, however, has the X motor in the same orientation as the other axes, and there is the following line in the Ormerod 2 config.g:
M569 P0 S0 ; Reverse the X motor

Hi DC42

I have kit 5 fitted.

1. Can you confirm that you have the complete web interface file tree v1.02 copied to /www on your SD card?

2. Have you set the IP address you want to use in config.g?

I've copied the web V1.02 file to the sd card, So it's there.
Plugged the card back into the printer but no remote connect.
Looks like the printer is struggling to hook onto my virgin media hub.
i'll try a reset.
The ip is set in the cofig g file correctly I use 192.168.0.16

1. Have you copied only one file on to the SD card? For the RRP version you need only reprap.htm, however my version fetches all the web files from the Duet. So you need to copy all the files and subdirectories that are in /www.

2. Can you ping the printer from the PC?

3. If you press control-shift-J in Chrome to get the debug console showing, and then try to connect in that tab, does the console show any error messages?

OK. so far.
1. I have copied all the SD image folders to the card from the same location as your newest release.
2. No joy pinging, superhub can't see anything on 192.168.0.14
3. Not tried yet but don't think this will work until the printer is found.

Annoyingly this has been working with your new release so not sure what I've done to cause the loss of web action.

Previously you said you set the IP address to 192.168.0.16
What IP address, subnet mask and gateway does your PC use? It is usually best to set an IP address for the Duet that is on the opposite end of the range of addresses that your router/DHCP server is assigning. In most cases the subnet will be 255.255.255.0 and the DHCP will be assigned from low to high, so typically the IP address you give the Duet should be somewhere near the top, but avoid a few addresses right at the top because they are often assigned to internal router processes and the gateway. An address of .100 or .200 is usually good - out of the way of the DHCP range and easy to remember.

Thanks for getting back Dave.

I'm a bit rusty with all this...
I had great success in the past with .16 and used this as my usual setting, I changed to the RepRap default .14 once I hit problems.
Tried.100 still no connection.
I know it's something simple that I'm missing.
The printer responds with Arduino and the patch lead I'm using works perfect direct to laptop, so just need the hub to see the duet then I'm off...

Doh..
Just seen the problem in the config g settings
The IP address default is 192.168.1.14 (didn't notice the 1 which should be a 0 for my router IP's)
Alls good again
For now...

Thanks everyone
