Wifi module idle

tkdirp

So, the problem I had lest time seemed to be a hardware issue so, I got a new duet 2 wifi board again... and now there is a new error. In step 3 of "1.) Getting Connected to your Duet" and now the usual sequence of

M552 S0
M587 S"your-network-SSID" P"your-network-password”
m552 S1

doesn't work for some odd reason and it mentions a heater despite having no wring done to the board...

You didn't show what happened when you entered the M587 command?

But try

M552 S-1
M552 S0
M587 S"your-network-SSID" P"your-network-password”
m552 S1

Bad or missing parameter, hmm, are there any special characters in your SSID or Passphrase?

I put in...

M587 S"U+Net48C4" P"8040P8C0#1”

If I proceed with...

m552 S1

this happens

It'll keep saying no known networks found until M587 succeeds adding yours. Don't recall if + and # is on the list of characters that needs special treatment so hopefully someome else will chime in on that.

okay

The # is ok (I have that in my PW as well with no special treatment) not sure about the +

But it may be worth trying

M587 S"U'+'Net48C4" p"8040P8C0#1"

Do make sure that you are sending it in the correct case.

screen shouldn't affect case, thats a workaround for pronterface or whats it called that converts all gcode to uppercase, incluing the strings for parameters like wifi credentials.

It was more a warning rather than in instruction and not know the ops system I felt it worth pointing out!

I guess M587 S"U'+'Net48C4" p"8040P8C0#1" seems to work because the terminal responded "ok" but when I put "m552 S1" this still happens...

show us M587 with no parameters?

What does it mean to have an M587 with no parameters? I just don't know because I am pretty new to this.

just send M587 on its own with nothing after it then the Duet will tell us what it has set!

just send M587 (with no S"......" P".....")

it should return the stored netwoks in the wifi module.

what firmware are you running?

check with M122. The Duet board firmware will be at the top, and the Wifi firmware will be in a a section at the bottom.

2.03

thats just the RepRapFirmware version, as I said when you run M122 it will also print the version of the firmware running om the Wifi module.
