Firmware(ahhhhhh) Gotta be an easier way!

@aidar
If is not a valid command why does it say OK?

I've tried it with M552 S0 and M552 S-0

Both respond with ok.

The part that you read up above I copy and pasted the entire dialog and as you can see when I typed M552 S-0 it responded with ok.

I've tried M552 I don't know how many times and at one point it was saying the wifi module is idle but now it just keeps saying wifi module is starting.

#3 I even started with a different freshly formatted SD card and still can't get he 1.02 to update to anything other than 1.02

When I send M115 I get
FIRMWARE_NAME: RepRapFirmware for Duet 2 WiFi/Ethernet FIRMWARE_VERSION: 2.03 ELECTRONICS: Duet WiFi 1.02 or later FIRMWARE_DATE: 2019-06-13b2

2.03 is your firmware version and 2019-06-13b2 is the date of that firmware version's build.

FIRMWARE_NAME: RepRapFirmware for Duet 2 WiFi/Ethernet FIRMWARE_VERSION: 2.03 ELECTRONICS: Duet WiFi 1.02 or later FIRMWARE_DATE: 2019-06-13b2

1.02 is your 'electronics'. That is, the board. The hardware. It will NEVER change (unless you buy new/different hardware).

It might say OK, but S-0 is not the documented format of the command and none of us can have any idea what S-0 does (or does not) do. For now, please stick to S0 for idle.

And, a couple of notes:

The erase button on the main board erases the flash memory in the CPU of the main board. It does NOT erase the WiFi module. There is no way to erase WiFi; instead, overwrite it.
When executing the various recovery options, your SD should look like:

sys/Duet2CombinedFirmware.bin
sys/iap4e.bin
sys/DuetWiFiServer.bin
www/ (will look more or less like screenshot below)

Connect with YAT (or other terminal) and issue:

M997 S0:1

This updates BOTH the main board and the WiFi together. That is more likely to work. If for some reason it does not, you can try M997 S0 and M997 S1 separately.

At that point, you should have good firmware. From there, you should be able to get on your network via:

M552 S-1 turns the WiFi module off. M552 S0 turns it on, and sets it to idle mode. M552 S1 activates it to connect to any WiFi access point that it has been configured to connect to. I'm guessing M552 S-0 is interpreted as S0.

As @Danal says, your firmware version is 2.0.3. Your Duet board revision is 1.0.2. I expect you are continuously updating the board with the same firmware version, 2.0.3. Try this one instead: https://github.com/dc42/RepRapFirmware/releases/tag/2.04

I find the firmware release more confusing than needed, having to sift through a list of files, most of them non relevant to majority of the users. Could be simplified along these lines:

Duet2 Wifi

board_firmware_xyz.zip
panel_due_xyz.zip

Maestro

(similar)

And a link to a repository where the developer oriented files can be found.

Ok I have 2.04 installed and Wifi Module is going into idle again. But I'm still getting Errror retrieving Wifi status message: SPI timout.
