Can't connect to Duet2Wifi on Mac

[Veti]

did you run it in a terminal?
what happens if you just put in ls?
if it cant find ls then you mac path variables might be wrong

ok, now all I get is
ls /dev/tty.*
/dev/tty.Bluetooth-Incoming-Port
no USB

[Veti]

after you connect the duet run the command dmesg.
what do the last few lines say?

i installed a usb driver. Now I'm getting
screen /dev/tty.usbmodem14241
[screen is terminating]

The screen pops up then says: Sorry, could not find a PTY then it terminates.

you are missing the baudrate

If you get an error, Sorry, could not find a PTY. unplug the USB, plug it back in and try again.

screen /dev/tty.usbmodem14241 115200
[screen is terminating]

Same thing happens with the baud rate.

permissions?

Ok, Now I'm getting a screen that scrolls the same thing over and over.
WiFi module is idle
WiFi reported error: no known networks found
WiFi module is idle

I type in M115 i get:

                                                      FIRMWARE_NAME: RepRapFirmware for Duet 2 WiFi/Ethernet FIRMWARE_VERSION: 2.02(RTOS) ELECTRONICS: Duet WiFi 1.02 or later FIRMWARE_DATE: 2018-12-24b1
                                          ok
                                            WiFi reported error: no known networks found
        WiFi module is idle
                           WiFi reported error: no known networks found

It won't stop scrolling and I it will not take any more commands

maybe its easier to remove the sd card, and add your wifi stuff to the config.g file and put the card back in the duet?

[keith]

@bearer
Already tried that using Atom. I've tried Chrome and Firefox

[A Former User]

Scrolling sounds like the board is reset for some reason, see if it behaves the same without the sd card when you run it. Could be worth trying to re-flash the firmware after that, but given that it shouldn't be necessary you may want to hold off on that.

@bearer
Hmm, got it connected. Haven't got a clue how. But it's connected.

[A Former User]

Change powersupply by chance?

Anyways, all that ends well and all that

[keith]

@bearer
Same power supply. New 24v Meanwell. I just unplugged and replugged everything in about a half dozen times. Have no idea what finally got it working. Oh well. All's well and all that..

[Veti]

did you have the psu and usb connected at the same time?

[keith]

@veti
No. Just the board plugged into the USB.

[A Former User]

Could be the USB port and/or cable was unable to supply enough power to let the board start up; if it started working after you had the config on the SD card and with the 24v supply that would make sense. But I'll stop beating a dead horse now
