I was updating new versions and got to step 9 and it would not take the zip. it kept asking if file was corrupt. then it disconnected from machine and it will not reconnect? do I need to start from scratch and reload everything?
thanks.

Hi Kimberley,
Thank you! Thats fixed it!!
Just took me a while to realise that the instruction meant to unpack the initial .zip first and then upload and install the folders called STEP 8/9/etc.. Got there in the end though.
Thanks,

Hello all,
I think i might have given myself a problem.
My Workbee 1515 has been unused for a while and today I went to check what FW revision it's on. Turns out it was on v2.03. Not thinking, I went straight to Duet3Ds site read the update instructions, downloaded RRF3.0 and updated. Then as per their instructions downloaded RRF3.4.4. uploaded via the Web Control interface. I checked the updated had worked, and it did! But straight away I was unable to home the cnc. G28 endstop errors etc.
After a bit of googling and I eventually saw a link to Oozenest's site with their current Workbee FW version 3.3.0-1.2... slightly annoyed with myself for forgetting Oozenest have their own version!!
Is there a way to install Workbee FW 3.3.0-1.2 over RRF3.4.4 or have I screwed myself?
Many thanks in advance and I welcome any comments reminding me that I'm an idiot..
Cheers,
Mieko

Hi Mieko,
If you complete this guide from Step 8 onwards here: How To Update WorkBee Firmware V1.0.7 > V3.3.0-1.2
It will overwrite you newer firmware version that you have installed from Duet.
Thanks
