Product description
First released in 2016, this is the latest revision of the established Duet 2 machine controller. Using our advanced and regularly updated RepRapFirmware it is capable of controlling 3D printers, CNCs and a wide range of other machines. It has been the controller of choice for hobbyists and advanced machine designers alike since its launch. As of January 2024 the Duet 2 controller is not recommended for new designs. The Duet 2 Wifi with Internal Antenna is End Of Life and no longer available directly from us, although some reseller may have limited stock. It is recommended to use one of the Duet 3 range for new designs going forward.
FEATURES
Processor | Powerful 32 Bit Processor: Atmel SAM4E8E: 120MHz ARM Cortex-M4 microcontroller |
Expansion | Add five more stepper drivers, heaters and IO with the DueX5. Two more external stepper drivers can be connected to the mainboard for a total of 12 stepper control channels and 8 heaters |
Connectivity | Either Wifi or Ethernet Networking options. |
Screen | Compatible with the PanelDue colour touch screen |
Stepper Drivers | Super quiet TMC2660 stepper drivers with 2.4A Peak per stepper channel. SPI controlled and capable of up to 256 microstepping with optional 16x interpolation when using 16x microstepping. Hardware support for variable microstepping and variable stepper current for optimum speed and power efficiency |
High current outputs | The bed heater channel is specifically designed for high current (15A fused). 2 x extruder heater (up to 6A each) |
Medium current outputs | 3 PWM controllable and 2 always-on fans which can be run from either the input voltage, from 5V, or from external power for added flexibility |
IO | 5 on-board I/O connectors for endstop and filament monitors |
Temperature Measurement | 3 thermistor inputs. Support for two temperature daughterboards for up to 4 PT 100 or thermocouple sensors |
Supply voltage | 12-24V |
Firmware | Recommended: RepRapFirmware 3.x, also supports RRF 2.x (Legacy Firmware) – Supports all common machine geometaries, easily configurable for your specific machine requirements |
