Connecting a PanelDue to Pi3 about moonraker

[paulhew69]

I tried a little harder and read some more documents.
Pi3 serial port is 'ttyS0'

Homing works, I can heat up the hotend, list files.

Superb and thank you for your hard work.

Where did you find info on how to set this up?

[paulhew69]

In the PanelDue addon and some great help from Arksine>
There is another post by me where I was struggling and losing connection.
Arksine guided me to use this.

you had to use 2 of them ? or you were able to use the raspberry pi usb port then run it to the paneldue off those pins since it would be 5v logiv i guess and be able to run longer distance vs the 3.3 not really cutting it ?

What does the address become when using this adapter?

[Arksine]

@robthide37 The configuration info is available here.

IIRC Paul had to use the USB adapter because his UART run was too long (or perhaps too noisy). Typically those devices enumerate to /dev/ttyUSBx where x is decided based on the number of USB ttys on your system (so starts at /dev/ttyUSB0, etc).

You can use the Pi GPIOs as long as the run isn't too long. You would want the wires to avoid noise if possible. I use the GPIOs, however I use the Pi's PL011 instead of the miniuart. You typically need to go through a few steps to get the PL011 set up as the primary UART:

• Disable the serial console in raspi-config
• run sudo systemctl disable hciuart
• edit /boot/config.txt and add:

  dtoverlay=disable-bt
  enable_uart=1
  

• reboot pi

The PL011 is located at /dev/ttyAMA0. The Pi documentation has more details on it.

One thing to remember, the PanelDue needs +5v power, but the Rx and Tx pins use 3.3v logic. Not a problem when connecting to the Pi, but its something to be aware of when using a USB-TTL adapter.

Thankyou very much. I know the mini uart has worse buffers well smaller and nicer hardware flow control so its better to use the other one . Only downside is losing Bluetooth right ? I am going to do exactly what you suggested btw thankyou very much I will be pledging or do you have al patreon ?
