Hi,

From the docs for M552:

Parameters for Duet 2 WiFi

P"ssid" (optional, RepRapFirmware 1.20 and later) SSID of network to connect to. The SSID and password must already have been registered using M587. If this parameter is not present, the Duet 2 WiFi will try to connect to the strongest network that is broadcasting its SSID and whose SSID has been registered using M587.
Snnn 0 = disable networking, 1 = enable networking as a client, 2 = enable networking as an access point , -1 = disable WiFi module

Danal

Try just "M552 S1", assuming you want the IP assigned by your router.

Here's the relevant part of my Duet2 config files:

; Network
M550 PDanal's BFD               ; Set machine name
M551 P                          ; Set password
M552 S1                         ; Enable network
;*** Desired SSID is configured manually via M587, once only, do not put M587 in config.g
M586 P0 S1                      ; Enable HTTP
M586 P1 S0                      ; Disable FTP
M586 P2 S0                      ; Disable Telnet

In regards to your original problem with G30 S-1, do you by chance have a deployprobe.g and retractprobe.g files in your /sys folder? If so, delete them, and I think your probing problem will be resolved.

Did you happen to backup the config files you were working on before reverting to the old ones? Your old firmware was quite old and there are likely several changes that would need to be made to get the old config to work on the new firmware. Mainly that you won't be able to move any axis before it is homed, which also means that your homing files will need to be updated. The new set of config files you got from the configurator would have had all those changes in place already.

Guys,

I don't know how to multiquote (I think we've established that I'm not the computery type), but these were all very helpful tips, and a couple of problems are now resolved.

fcwilt/Danal,

Yes, it was just a matter of making it "M552 S1" and it all lights up and connects almost instantly. Very happy, thank you.

Phaedrux,

Same for you mate, deleted those 2 files and it's homing on all 3 axis's. I haven't time for setting nozzle height right now as I'm headed out. Feeling confident it's more happy now.

I did keep backups, but I've gotten all flustered and mixed them all up. When I get this all sorted, I'll back a good copy onto my laptop.

I do really appreciate the help I'm getting on here, and thank you all for your time.

Of course I've got another post following this one with my next problem...

Corexy

Guys,

My next problem seems to be my extruder heater setting.

I've got a reading of 2000 degC, but it's also in a purple box, whatever that means?

My M305 is set to X200, as I have a PT100 sensor fitted, but the text my have extras added by the configurator. Could you please help me out with this one, as after that I think it's pretty much a case of starting to print.

As we've had a couple of cases of excessive text causing problems here, do you see any other lines that could be cleaned up? I'm keen to scrape this right back to just what it needs now, as I run the old one with all sorts of extra folders in there, and it did start up fiddly sometimes. I want to make this one dead clean and back it all up on my laptop to avoid this drama moving forward.

It looks ok otherwise.

You don't have an M584 command, which sets the drive mapping. This should be the first command in the "Drives" section. However, you're using the standard mapping (M584 X0 Y1 Z2 E3), so it's not necessary. If you have two Z motors (currently individually connected to ZA and ZB, or wired together) you could split them, which would allow for X gantry levelling. But that might sound difficult to you!

You can remove:

M111 S0 as debugging is off by default
G21 as working in millimetres is default
M555 P2 as compatibility with Marlin is default

I'd move:

Endstop section to after the Drives section (though it doesn't really matter) and include M208 commands
Network to the beginning (if any command in config.g causes the config.g to abort, at least you get network!), and put machine name in quotes (good practice for string parameters). You can even remove the M586 commands as HTTP is enabled by default, FTP and Telnet are disabled by default
Probe settings into it's own section after endstops, and include M557 (bed probing grid).

This should bring most settings into sensible sections, and in order of importance. So it would end up looking like:

Hope that helps!

Mate that helps a lot.

I've had visitors for a few days and haven't had a chance to look at this, but I'm assuming this going to be more tidy and efficient?

I'll have to have a look at my bed and homing files as well.

And to be honest I just copied and pasted this in and it's working a treat. Thanks for that!

Corexy

Before I fire this all up again, I haven't done anything with my bed and homing files, and the configurator definitely changed all of them. Before I had it doing a autolevelling routine at the start of a print, and then I had it putting the tool off the the left/back at the end, but I'm pretty sure most of the commands for that are entered in my slicer (S3D).

Phaedrux

The old bed.g file looks like you could continue using it.

The old homeall.g file lacks the H2 parameter for the initial Z axis lift. This would throw an error in recent firmware for trying to move an axis before it's been homed. But otherwise they are basically the same, so you should probably just keep using the new one.

Corexy

Cheers Phaedrux,

So I might as well just keep using the new bed and homing files? They're the one's it's running at the moment, so if there's no reason to change I won't. Just looking at what can be tidied up before I save a copy of this.

I've also got a "homedelta.g" file in there. Can that be deleted?

Phaedrux

Yes If you do not have a delta you can delete it.

Corexy

Thanks guys,

All good and knocking out a reasonably tidy print if I say so myself. Bed leveling ran in the start of the print, can't tell if it set up a map or not.

One issue I'm having that is after using the e stop to cancel a print, I can't move my Z axis up and down. I have to switch off the machine and star it again to get operation.

What have I missed here? The Z axis worked before in any order of operation.

Axes cannot be moved until they have been homed, unless you either use G1 H2 movements or you use ~~M584~~ M564 to allow axis movement before homing. Emergency stop sends M112 to do the stop followed by M999 to reset the controller.

No worries David, thank you.

I do recall an M584 back on the old config.g somewhere, and as I'm the only one who uses this machine I'd like to remove the limitation. So where would I put the M584 command?

Now I'm retuning the heaters, which I haven't done for years or at all on this board.

What I'm worried about is that why the extruder (PT100/H1) and bed (thermistor/H0), both have the same "B0", meaning they are both operating by PWM? Shouldn't the bed be different (B1 or something) due to the thermistor? The M307 H1 settings are from my first hot end heater test, and I'll run it a second time once it's all cooled down. Haven't done the bed yet.

Phaedrux

@Corexy said in Home all not working:

M584

It's actually M564 to allow moving an axis before being homed or to allow an axis to move beyond the travel limit.

https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Gcode#Section_M564_Limit_axes

You can place M564 H0 in config.g

B0 is fine for both bed and extruder. B1 would be bang bang and is not recommended.

Corexy

Thanks very much, appreciated.

So just a "M564 H0" in general preferences, just after M83?

; General preferences

I'm also getting another odd fault message come up:

"attempt to read a gcode unsigned array that is too long M84 P3 E0:1"

Any idea what that's all about?

Phaedrux

Yes M564 H0 can go there.

Can you post your config.g as it currently is? It would seem you might have two lines superimposed to cause that M84 P3 error...
