New Duet WiFi firmware 1.19beta1
-
So. I tried the update to the beta again. It did connect this time and gave me an ajax error a few seconds later. This is what it said.
Communication Error
An AJAX error has been reported, so the current session has been terminated.
Please check if your printer is still on and try to connect again.

I have rolled it back to 1.18.1 again and the wifi won't connect but it operates normally via usb.This has the same software reset code as I have

I didn't think you could set a static IP in the config with a duetwifi. David had told me that awhile back. Has that changed?
-
Static IP should be set it in your wireless router using the Duet Wifi's MAC address.
-
In 1.19 you can set up a static IP address in the connection parameters you give in the M587 command. See https://duet3d.com/wiki/G-code#M587:_Add_WiFi_host_network_to_remembered_list.2C_or_list_remembered_networks.
-
Is there a beta for the Ethernet board? I am on 1.19alpha and I am unable to get mesh leveling to work. It will probe the bed and even save the height map file. It is non compensating for my bed at all during the print and M122 says "Bed compensation in use: none". This is right after running G29 or G29 S1
-
I'm not sure I want to upgrade to 1.19. The web-server works OK for me.
Can I just upgrade DWC to 1.16?
-
I think DWC 1.16 should work with firmware 1.18 but I haven't tested it.
There will be a new 1.19beta1 tomorrow or possibly later today. However, the changes in 1.19 are mostly to do with WiFi improvements and supporting new kinematics, do Duet Ethernet and users of older Duets are probably better off staying with 1.18.1 for now.
-
I think the switching method is a bit cumbersome. Besides, I suspect that running the web-server in ESP is better for stable printing, there won't be any lags when the web-interface is updated. I vaguely remember that the printer used to freeze for a moment when I connected to duet 0.8.5.

I had a new crash today mid print on a small item. This is not the same code as last time.

The setup mechanism is a little cumbersome right now, but the switching mechanism is automatic - it connects to the strongest network it can find that you have configured it to recognise.
The web server on the ESP was problematic. It was based on modified Arduino code for the ESP8266, some of which was of poor quality, and in some network environments it crashed repeatedly. Ths SDK for the ESP8266 is not open source. Overall, debugging and maintaining the ESP8266 code was a nightmare. That is why we decided to simplify it by moving the HTTP server off the ESP and on to the SAM. This also means that we are using the same architecture on the Duet WiFi as on the Duet Ethernet, so there is less code to maintain overall.
I think you will find that these days, even on the Duet085 you can connect a new web client without the print pausing.

Thanks David.
By "switching" I meant switching from older firmware to 1.19. I wish it was simpler.Could you make some ALL-IN-ONE firmware file to update everything at once?

Had a new crash today. This time inbetween prints so no ruined print. I had the printer printing for 2hours or so and then it was resting on for 3-4hours. When I came back and accessed the web interface it heard the fan spin up like it does when it boots and I got ajax error. This happened a few times and it was not possible to access the printer before I cycled power to it then it let me connect. Here is the M122 output. Looks like the software reset code is different this time so I'm posting it again.

I updated to 1.19beta1 (2017-05-21) FW and Wifi server with 1.16 web interface today and I'm starting to find that the Duet Wifi board is now randomly resetting itself. The first time was in the middle of a small print and then not long after trying to start it again. It would be an incredible coincidence if my PSU is starting to pack it in directly after updating the FW?
I've always found that the 12V fans dip in speed as soon as either/both the heat bead/hot end are heating but that has never caused the board to reset in the past. The PSU is from a PC and is rated at 700W.
Just trying the small print job again to see if it can make it through without a reset….
Unfortunately, it reset mid job again. More of a crash considering I cannot get a wifi connection after that point and pressing the reset button fails to get the wifi back. I have to completely power down the PSU via the mains switch to get it working again. My biggest concern is that the 12V supply shuts off as well when it crashes which leaves the E3D heatsink without a fan and a hot end sitting at 240 deg. So I have to move quickly before the new Aero heatsink gets too hot for the plastic parts touching it.
Going to roll back to 1.18 now to see if the crash is unrelated to the PSU...

Firmware 1.19beta1 is now superseded by 1.19beta2. Those of you who were having problems with beta1 please try beta2.
