SBC is an abbreviation/acronym for Single Board Computer. This mode is called Standalone mode without SBC.
Standalone mode: Duet 3 can run without the RPi just fine. Install drivers for Touch screen (optional). The Duet 3 is more powerfull and can do a lot of tricks compared to the Duet 2 series, but what’s up with the option to use a Raspberry Pi? Duet3 connected to a RPi4 using the 26-40pin ribbon cableĪnd yes, to make one thing clear: It’s completely optional to use a Raspberry Pi along with your Duet 3, so lets look at why you might want to use a RPi alongside your Duet3, or just run it without.
So, it’s been a while since Duet 3 was released, but only recently has the accompanying RepRapFirmware (RRF3) gone from RC (Release Candidate / Beta) to final, which means it’s time for me to take a look at the new products in the Duet 3 series.
