can I just install 2.05 after erasing the board?

Not that you don't need to erase the board, you can just use a second SD card and use the original as a backup, just in case.

Thanks for helping. I did try the fallback 3 but again I can't log in to web control page. I have installed Firmware 2.05.1 and wifi 1.02. I get all the config files from rep rap config tool.

When use M552 S1 it shows:

WiFi module is connected to access point MYSSID, IP address 192.168.1.191 but when I use that IP on my browser nothing happens.

What else can I try?

Phaedrux

Do you have the DWC files in the /www folder on the SD card?

Can you ping that IP address successfully?

What happens when you try to go to the IP?

Did you mean WiFi firmware 1.23 ?

jcv1977

@Phaedrux Yep i have follow the tutorial so i have replaced www files for the recommended ones. Actually i can't ping that ip, it funny i entered my router page and there seems to be a problem, the router detects the mac address of the duet correctly but it keeps assigning a another fixed ip. The strange part is that if i try my duet to use dhcp so that its assigned the routers fixed ip address it just don't get any ip at all. Then, i've tried to delete the fixed address from my router, but it persist. WTF?? So i am guessing thats why the web control is not working. I will reset my router so stay tunned! lol

Phaedrux

Hmm, routers can be persnickity sometimes. Best to leave the Duet as DHCP and let the router assign one. Hopefully you can get them to coorperate.

@dc42 I did installed that version, but when i use M115 it shows 1.02.

I think 1.02 is the Duet hardware revision, not the WiFi firmware revision. To check the WiFi firmware revision, send M122 and look for it in the WiFi section of the response.

@dc42

You were right! But it still can't get any dhcp address and i get:

how is the signal strength? (proably need to measure with app on phone).
which type of encryption is in use?
(and its not a vodaphone router is it?)

jcv1977

@bearer I don't think its a signal issue i am literally near the router and the signal is excellent. I use WPA2 Personal and AES encryption. Nope its an Atlantic broadband router, but those are really tight i can't even turn off dhcp jst to test with other router. So i may habe to try another one.

should work, any special characters in the key? how did you add the network; ponterface tends to mess up keys f.ex.

So i may habe to try another one.

if you're not aware, you can also configure the duet to be an access point if that helps you out temporarily. (read the to use as AP notes)

Is the SSID of your access point exactly MYWIFI all in uppercase? SSIDs are case sensitive.

A Former User

wouldn't a wrong ssid result in "no known networks found" and not a timeout?

Yes, it should.

@jcv1977 , if you send M587 without parameters via USB, what is the response?

jcv1977

@bearer No special characters i just kept it easy not to add possible issues. Yes i tried the AP but with another firmware, it just connected but nothing happened i will try it with the current one.

jcv1977

@dc42 Its not the ssid i did all my homework after asking here
After M587 i get:

MYWIFI IP=0.0.0.0 GW=0.0.0.0 NM=0.0.0.0

Might be a bad wifi module?

jcv1977

@bearer Well there is some progress! Using AP mode works fine now and i can finally see the web control page. But it can't seem to connect to my router nor having an ip assigned even if i set at the freaking router a static one.

Using macros or manually (using M587 S"MYWIFI" P"MYPASSWORD" I192.168.1.128 the blue light of the esp8266 gets blue, but i can't ping to that IP and i can't get to web control page nothing is displayed. Also in my router 192.168.1.128 is not shown at all and the duet appears with a fixed ip 192.169.1.9 but it can't be ping at and it is not browseable.

I 've already reset to factory setting the router but i dont understand why that fixed IP is still there?????

lets turn on wifi debugging and see if it gives you any more info (doubt it, but worth a try)

send M111 S1 P14 to the duet before M552 S1

you could also perhaps try adding the mac address manually for each IP one at the time?

arp -s 192.168.1.128  b4-e6-2d-52-ff-37 
ping 192.168.1.128
arp -d 192.168.1.128

then try

arp -s 192.169.1.9  b4-e6-2d-52-ff-37 
ping 192.169.1.9
arp -d 192.169.1.9

A Former User

hang on; is that a typo or the actual address?
192.168.1.128 vs 192.169.1.9

if a typo, un-typo my commands above, if not a typo run route print on the computer.
