Troodon duet2 wifi + duex5 install
-
I havent tried to bring up the web interface yet.
ill double check the wiring
I have not created a new config since I am afraid of messing something up
Im also not sure if this machine is considered a core xy or a core xz -
should i just upload my current config file to the config tool?
-
It's not as scary as you think. Just enter the details about your machine. If you're not sure, try and find out. It will give you something to start with. You can compare it to the config you already have.
Try connecting to the web interface. You'll need to get the ip address of the duet.

I was able to get the duet connected to the network but i couldn't reach the dwc when i typed in the ip address.
i replaced the current sys folder with a new one created from the config tool. I am still not getting any thermitor readings on my paneldue. I will go ahead and double check my wiring.again thanks for the guidance

How did you find the IP address to connect to?
What error did you get in the browser when you tried to connect?
Does the IP address respond to a ping?
Are you sure the Duet has joined the wifi network?
Create these macros. Modify them with your ssid and password. Place them in the /macros folder and use the Panel Due to run them.
; Clear all wifi networks ; M291 R"Clear WIFI networks? Y/N" P"Caution. New network must be added." S3 T10 M552 S0 ; Disable network module G4 S5 ; wait 5 second M588 S"*" ; Clear all saved wifi network M291 R"WIFI networks forgotten." P"You must add a new WIFI network."; Add default wifi network ; M291 R"Add default WIFI network? Y/N" P"This will add duetwifi access point." S3 T10 M552 S0 ; Disable network module G4 S5 ; wait 5 seconds M587 S"ssid" P"password" ; Add duetwifi SSID to remembered networks list G4 S5 ; wait 5 seconds M552 S1 ; reenable wifi module M291 R"duetwifi SSID added." P"Check console to verify IP address."Sending M552 by itself after should tell you the IP address.
In your config.g you will need M552 S1 to enable networking.

i connected to the wifi by following these steps https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Guide/1.)+Getting+Connected+to+your+Duet/7in the yat I got the Ip address
i just powered up the machine and am unable to ping the IP address
I will go ahead and add those macros, but FYI my current macros don't show on the paneldue and its constantly saying connecting in the top right corner... also still now messages in the console -
Please post the contents of your config.g

K I'm a little embarrassed to admit, but I totally overlooked connecting the duex5 power. I am having a hard time finding documentation on how to wire it
Do i split the power supply from the duet2 and run it to the duex5? Also does the wire need a u terminal connector or can i just strip the wire and stick it in?sorry
-
-
What size wire is that? also can the bare wire be placed in the terminal or does it need a crimped terminal connector?
-
I really suggest you read those links thoroughly.
Important! You must have a reliable low-resistance connection between the negative (ground) terminals of the two VIN terminal blocks. Failure to do so may result in high currents flowing in the ground connectors of the ribbon cable and may cause damage to the Duet 2 or Duex. Preferably, make this connection using either solid core wire, or stranded core wire with ferrules of the correct size crimped on securely. Re-tighten the terminal block screws regularly for the first few days of use, to make sure there is no creep in the wires causing the screws to become loose.

@Phaedrux said in Troodon duet2 wifi + duex5 install:
ow-resistance connection between the negative (ground) terminals of the two VIN terminal blocks.
I didnt understand low-resistance connection between the negative (ground) terminals of the two VIN terminal blocks.
-
Low resistance meaning a gauge as large or larger than your power wiring. 16 gauge is likely the largest you can reasonably fit and is the largest size of ferrule included in the kit.
-
so if I understand correctly I could use a 18awg wire from the psu to the duet2 wifi and then a 16 awg from the duet2 to the duex5?
-
I think that would be acceptable.
-
great and can I use a different wire connector for powering the boards instead of ferrules? I have some 18 16 and 12 awg braided wires laying around but no ferrules left over. I could get pins from the local hardware store but ferrules will take a min of a week so I was hoping use the pin or a different terminal connector
-
The bare wire would be ok short term. Just ensure you keep the screw down terminals tight and use ferrules as soon as you're able.
-
unfortunately that didnt go so well. I heard a pop and now the fans (24v) for the board stopped running. So I unplugged and rewired but it seems I have some lights off and some new light on. The red light came on on the duet wifi2 by Y stepper motor plug.
also
I think the led light for the 3.3v and 5v indicator are no longer on
and here is what I'm seeing on the display.
-
Pops are never a good sound. Please remove the board from the enclosure, remove the wiring, and examine the board for damage. Post some high res well lit close up photos of both boards. The photos you posted are too blurry to make out any of the chips.
