I did it once more and when I gave the M587 command, it displayed the network. But then when I gave it again, back to the error.

configure your network again

M587 S"your ssid" P"your password"
M552 S1

Looks like it goes in and out or something.

just to make sure that its not a problem with the remembered networks

send
M588 S"*"

and do
M552 S0
M587 S"your ssid" P"your password"
M552 S1
again.

also does your network or password contain any special characters?

itslikeboo

M588 gives:

>>> M588 S"*"

Network name contains a hyphen and underscore.

Veti

can you temporarily make your wifi network unencrypted and try again?

itslikeboo

I don't think I'll be able to do that, at least for a little bit. There are some people on the network.

I'm not sure why the wifi module won't reset. That command has worked before. When I connect to pronterface and get

"ok T0:26.7 /0.0 B:26.7 /0.0"

every now and then before jumping back to

"WiFi reported error: no known networks found
WiFi module is idle"

does this indicate a hardware problem?
I'm not sure if it's related but this version of the board has the external antenna. Also if it's of any help, when I first configured the board for RepRapFirmware 3, I couldn't get the DIAG pin to turn off. Not sure if it's relevant.

@itslikeboo said in "Bad reply format version." Not sure how to proceed.:

"ok T0:26.7 /0.0 B:26.7 /0.0"

that is just temperature status.

there is a problem with the wifi has problems connecting to modern routers

Interesting. Well that would suck. I'll try to look into it. Maybe late tonight I'll mess with the network. But wouldn't an M588 S"*" command still work? I've never even connected to the network once.

M588: Failed to reset the WiFi module to factory settings

it sometimes helps to reset the wifi module with M552 S-1 M552 S0 before M558 and before M557

@bearer Ok, thanks, I'll give it a try

@bearer Awesome, well that seemed to do something.

M552 S1 should turn on wifi and you should be good?

(M552 S1 is all you need in config.g as well)

While i go get the 6.5x55mm rounds from the safe try M557 one more time with the M552 S-1 M552 S0 before it, and give it a few seconds between each command.

Not sure what to do now

duck .. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

which terminal are you using and are you typing or pasting commands?

itslikeboo

@bearer It's all pronterface. I'm just reusing from the command history with the up key.

A Former User

@itslikeboo said in "Bad reply format version." Not sure how to proceed.:

pronterface

oh, is your SSID and passphrase all UPPER CASE or are you making sure to work around that as described below?

https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Gcode#Section_M587_Add_WiFi_host_network_to_remembered_list_or_list_remembered_networks

For example, M587 S"ABC" P"P'A'S'SW'O'R'D" would specify that the password is "PassWord".

Everyone should have putty installed, and it also works as a serial terminal without silliness like the capitalization so that might be worth at try.

Also tell us if this is relevant to your issue

The use of special characters in the SSID cannot be guaranteed to work. In general it's best to avoid most special characters. Spaces, periods, dashes, underscores, and other punctuation is likely ok, but special characters on the number keys likely are not safe. (@#$%^&*). If you are having troubles adding your SSID, try a simplified version with only letters and numbers.

if still troublesome; duck and/or i'll take aim..

droftarts

@itslikeboo can you send M587 on its own, to show that a network SSID has been saved?
