      Hey Anne

      If you are able to dig into what's happening on your network when the Ajax disconnects happens that would be helpful. A program like wireshark can give you a trace of what's happening. Its interesting to see if the network connection is dropping completely or if it's just the session in the browser.

        I don't know if I should create a new thread, If so, please feel free to split this off.

        I'm trying to get my DuetWiFi online, and am getting the same "Reset reason: Exception" errors, though only one at a time.

        This is a bare board and PanelDue being bench tested with no steppers or external power other than microUSB to the computer.
        When I turn on the WiFi server, it comes online, with the same string as shown above.

        Flash size 4194304, free RAM 27088 bytes, WiFi Vcc 3.38V, host name: duetwifi177, reset reason: Turned on by main processor

        After a few seconds to a minute, it resets, with the error string:

        Flash size 4194304, free RAM 27088 bytes, WiFi Vcc 3.38V, host name: duetwifi177, reset reason: Exception

        As to connecting to it to configure it, I have never gotten beyond the initial selection screen, as it reliably goes down within 10 seconds of being able to connect to the wifi server.

        I have tried power cycling the Duet, removed the SD card and updated the WiFi server firmware, and updated the DuetWIFI system firmware. None have changed the behavior.

        I will say that the neighborhood is very busy in the 2.4 and 5 spectrums, with over 30 different access points visible from my laptop when I have been doing this. Is this a likely cause for this behavior?

          Well, It may be a moot point now, but I'll have to see what happens once it's in actual use in the printer.

          I was finally able to get it to fully connect to the network by using two different tabs in the browser, one carefully prepared with the network selected and passphrase entered during the web server resets of the 4 or so prior rounds.
          Once the server came up and I was able to load the page in the second window, I hit the submit button in the first and it finally gave the message that it was rebooting.

          I do not know what caused all the resetting, but toward the end it appeared to be induced ~5 seconds after loading the selection page.
          I'm not positive that it correlates to the page load, nor near curious enough to reset it and try my luck again, barring a request for some log file only available by doing such.

          All that said, it looks good now, and the web interface is quick and responsive. Now to get it into operation!

            I'm glad you got it working. I took a look at the code for getting the station list (I didn't write it), and there is some sloppy coding both there and in the underlying library that needs to be fixed, along with an unnecessary copying of station info that will impact on available memory when there are many stations. I'll add it to the list of things that need to be fixed in the ESP code. However, before that gets done I'll probably have added the facility to specify the SSID and pass phrase in a file on the SD card.

              I'm having the same problem, but the web interface page will not load at all.
              I am using the most up to date/stable versions of all firmware.

              This is what I get from pronterface:

              SENDING:M552 S1
              WiFi server starting up
              DuetWiFiServer version 1.03 (ch fork)
              Flash size 4194304, free RAM 32840 bytes, WiFi Vcc 3.11V, host name: duetwifi, reset reason: Turned on by main processor
              WiFi server connected to access point P-WIFI, IP=10.236.85.189, signal strength=-58dBm
              DuetWiFiServer version 1.03 (ch fork)
              Flash size 4194304, free RAM 32840 bytes, WiFi Vcc 3.12V, host name: duetwifi, reset reason: Exception
              WiFi server connected to access point P-WIFI, IP=10.236.85.189, signal strength=-58dBm
              DuetWiFiServer version 1.03 (ch fork)

              It seems like the exception happens a few seconds after requesting a connection.

              Any help would be appreciated.

              Matthew

                I will have new beta firmware very soon, with rewritten WiFi code. I hope that will fix it. Look out for the announcement of firmware 1.19 in beta.

                  Thank you David for the update, I have got it to work using my iphone as a hotspot, but can not connect it to my works infrastructure (no pages load although I get server response code 200), although the I.T dept. say there are no restrictions in place, I guess they are missing something.
                  Occasionally I still get disconnections and board resets, here is what M122 outputs:

                    Hi Matthew,

                    Thanks for trying that version.

                    Your reset data indicates a firmware error, but I no longer have the intermediate files I need from the 1.19alpha1 build to track it down. Please can you upgrade your DuetWiFiFirmware to 1.19alpha2 and see if you still get the resets when it is connected to your iPhone. If so then post the M122 report again. See https://github.com/dc42/RepRapFirmware/blob/dev/WHATS_NEW.md for 1.19alpha2 upgrade notes.

                    I expect to have an update to the DuetWiFiServer code soon, and when I have released that it may be worth seeing if the Duet can connect to your works network again.

                      I am also having issues wit\h DuetWifi. I had an issue where the firmware got corrupted while updating firmware 1.18. The duet was locked up and couldnt even connect using USB. I used Sam BL to reinstall 1.18 but could not get the wifi running. I updated to 1.19 Alph and followed the instructions for installation. It worked. When i tried again after another print the wifi could not be connected again. This time nothing I do will allow me to connect. I can still connect over USB and the display still works
                      This is what i get from the diagnostics

                        Have you tried sending M552 S-1 followed by M552 S1 to reset and restart the WiFi module?

                        I hope to release an update to DuetWiFiServer later today.

                          Still getting errors and resets, using the latest release

                          Connection: close

                          I seem to be getting a step closer, at least I can request and get served html404.html

                            Thanks. Please let me know if you get any resets with a software reset code other than 0x1001, like the one you reported before.

                              What is not found? Am I missing a SD card file? Everything has been extracted to /www

                              Also WiFi firmware version reports 1.19-alpha1 not alpha2 but has been upgraded.

                              Thank you for your continued effort.

                                Thanks for your report. That gives me a very good idea of what went wrong.

                                The firmware for the WiFi module (DuetWiFiServer) is still at 1.19alpha1, it's only DuetWiFiFirmware that is at 1.19alpha2.
