Duet 3 Web Address in Stand Alone Mode

Collin

Hey everyone, I am primarily a Duet 2 Wifi user and I recently got a duet 3 for my Cartesian printer. I am using it in stand alone mode and connecting with an ethernet cable, but I cannot get connect to the web interface.

I currently did the reprap configurator and followed the link below for downloading the right files to run to the SD card, but I cannot find anywhere what the IP address is or what I should type into the web address bar to connect into the web address bar.

M550 should show you the name of the board, try that for a real DNS lookup, if it fails try adding .local to the end (e.g. duet.local).

If name resolution does not work, you should be able to get he IP address with M552 and connect using that.

As with the Duet 2, you'll need the usb/serial console to issue commands when networking isn't operational. hth.

(Edit: out of curiosity I had a look at what the configurator would generate, and it did this:

; Configuration file for Duet 3 (firmware version 3)
; executed by the firmware on start-up
;
; generated by RepRapFirmware Configuration Tool v2.1.8 on Mon Mar 16 2020 07:47:40 GMT+0100 (Central European Standard Time)

; General preferences
G90                                          ; send absolute coordinates...
M83                                          ; ...but relative extruder moves
M550 P"My Printer"

The space between My and Printer might cause some issues with both DNS and mDSN, so maybe change that to a name of your choosing. Ideally keeping to a valid hostname )

M552 will report the IP Address failing that you can set the IPAddress in your Config.g using M552 (0.0.0.0 sets it to DHCP) you could also try checking in your router what has been allocated.

Thanks I will give this a try today. Have you connected using YAT or are you using a different terminal?

I use YAT. But as my router has a habit of changing the IP address now and then, I now use static IP addresses anyway.

I tend to gravitate towards RealTerm mainly for ANSI(hex and binary) support; but if you don't have a preference I'd stick with Yat as that is what is documented in the wiki. On the other hand for Duet boards I'll only break out the USB cable if putting the correct config on the SD card doesn't yield the desired result.

Collin

Okay so I am trying to connect with YAT and I am still seeing the board only come up in the device manager as Bossa Program port. I followed the thread link below to do the fall back procedure since it sounds like the firmware wasn't on the board.
https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Installing_and_Updating_Firmware#Section_Fallback_procedure_Num_3

I downloaded and used the "Duet3Firmware_MB6HC.bin" and loaded this with Bossa and check marked "Erase all, lock, and boot to flash". After the write/verify is successful, I reboot the board and it still shows as Bossa Program Port.

Has anyone successfully loaded a firmware on Duet 3?

Yes, but using the command line tool bossac. Maybe you have the erase jumper still in place, that would have the effect you describe.

Collin

@bearer I definitely used a jumper on the erase pins to startup the board so it makes sense the firmware is gone, but the problem is once I flash it with new firmware, it doesn't show up at a Duet 3D Printer device in Device Manager. It still shows as Bossa Program Device

A Former User

Maybe I was unclear; I was trying to make sure you removed the jumper prior to using Bossa to flash the firmware. Try pressing verify after the flashing is complete and see what it says.

Collin

@bearer Ahhh Gotcha, Yes the jumper is removed.

A Former User

Hmm, and you're using the latest 1.9.1 version of Bossa?

Collin

I restarted my laptop and under device manager > Other Devices I can find the Duet now. I am using the link below to download duet usb drivers and I am wondering if there is another link for duet 3 specific drivers. When I try to use this driver is says it could not find the driver files inside the folder.

no idea what drivers you have, nor have i needed any drivers. however i suspect if you open the .inf file and replace 60ec with 60ee the drivers will work for duet3 instead of duet2.

(edit; or maybe you should check that your duet has the correct hardware ids first.

Collin

@bearer Yes that worked and I was able to load the firmware! I had to replace it in 3 difference locations inside the driver files. Now I can get into YAT and it said my IP address was 0.0.0.0 using the m552 command.

Now I connected with the ethernet cable and in chrome, when I type in 0.0.0.0 it still doesn't load. any thoughts?

Collin

Also stupid question, does this need connected to my router or to my laptop ethernet port? I am connected to the ethernet on my laptop directly to the Duet 3 with ethernet.

Thats not a valid IP adderss but a special case to use DHCP to have your router assign an IP address dynamically; so either connect to your router or set a valid static IP for both the Duet and the computer.

I had to replace it in 3 difference locations inside the driver files.

(as a side note you only had to replace it in the correct place for your operating system, but easier to do all))
