seem to be 2.03

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.

@bearer
This happens if I send a M122 command...

right, wifi not happy.

btw could you try running stty -F /dev/tty.usbmodem14101 inlcr in another terminal and see if it sorts the line endings for you? (edit or stty -F /dev/tty.usbmodem14101 -icrnl)

then lets try the nuke from orbit approach.

M552 S-1
M552 S0
M588 S"*"
M587 S"U'+Net48C4" p"8040P8C0#1" 
M552 S1

M552 S-1 resets the wifi module
M588 S"*" clears the wifi credentials

edit fixed typo M589 to M588

in another terminal

So, on another computer?

@tkdirp said in Wifi module idle:

another computer?

no, same computer just another window with a terminal. (but its not that important, it just makes it easier to read if the end of line characters actually causes a new line - and I'm not sure if it would work on a Mac)

The nuke plan failed...

[A Former User]

but M122 shows the wifi version now?

if not lets try

M552 S-1
M552 S0
M588 S"*"
M122

edit: fixed typo M589 to M588

[tkdirp]

@bearer
M122 is still not working

[tkdirp]

@bearer said in Wifi module idle:

M552 S-1
M552 S0
M589 S"*"
M122

Worked.

[A Former User]

ah, okay, was about to suggest just updating it without finding out which version it is, but thats all up to date then. (1.23 is the latest iirc)

if you run M111 P14 S1 it will enable debug output for wifi.

then run M587 S... P.... (with your credentials) followed by M552 S1

(but I suspect you really need to find another terminal for that to be usefull, or have screen translate LF into CR/LF)

((edit: if you must use screen maybe log to a file and view the file (in another window) with fixed line endings tail -F my.log | sed 's/$/\r/' ))

After that commend, the M587 S"U'+Net48C4" P”8040P8C0#1" dos not seem to have any significant effect

thats okay, was primarily after the ouput that say WiFi: ../src/Sock <...> found network U+Net48C4.

Either the + is a problem or there is some sort of interoperability issue with the router.

I would suggest checking the encyption type, or change it to WPA(2)/TKIP, changing the SSID and Passphrase to something without special charters.

Or optionally use M589 to set up the duet as an access point.

But first, repeat https://forum.duet3d.com/post/164593 as I had made a typo in the command to clear the wifi settings. (However as you did get an OK at some point i doubt it'll make a difference)

[A Former User]

forgot the link to M589 to try AP mode

@bearer
Thank you so much

[A Former User]

which bit helped? correcting to M558 or are you using the Duet as an access point?

[tkdirp]

@bearer
I just changed the name of the wifi I guess the "+" in the SSID name was the issue

interesting feedback, perhaps something should be tested and added to the documentation.

[Phaedrux]

There is no hard rule for SSID special character support on the router side. Some will let you use pretty much anything, but in general it's probably best to avoid special characters in the SSID.

I'll add a note to the M587 command regarding that.

[dc42]

The WiFi firmware uses an API call provided by Expressiv (the WiFi chip manufacturer) to set the SSID. Unfortunately, the documentation provided by Expressiv is far from complete. It doesn't specify which characters it allows in an SSID. So your guess is as good as mine!
