New firmware 1.19 beta 2

dc42

I've just noticed a bug. If the password contains a semicolon then the M587 command will not be parsed correctly. So passwords containing semicolons won't work. I'll fix this in the next beta.

There may be other characters that won't work in wifi passwords - unfortunately the SDK for the WiFi module is not open source, so I can't check. But they should be the same characters that didn't work before, or a subset of them.

Just updated to 1.19 Beta 5, working well overall. noticed two small issues

when using Gcode console, if i try to add a new wifi network using
M587 S"Wifi Name" P"MyPassword" it will convert it all to Capitals. even if i need it to be Case sensitive.
during a print, I paused it, and then went to control on Panel Due and wanted to extrude extra filament as i was changing rolls.. i set to to extrude 50mm at 5mms/sec and it ignores the speed setting and tried to extrude all within 1 second.. which was way too fast and caused the extruder to skip, dont recall if this was an issue on previous firmware

For number 1 you can turn off "Always Convert G-Codes to Upper-Case" in "Settings > User Interface", probably DWC need a check to see if it is a M587 gcode or simply leave the case of quoted parameters.

Hoping a Tab can be added to webcontrol to add/remove wifi networks. Enable ADhoc

I've just released 1.19beta6. Those of you already running a 1.19beta version can just install it over the network. See https://github.com/dc42/RepRapFirmware/blob/dev/WHATS_NEW.md for the change list.

I've just released this at https://github.com/dc42/RepRapFirmware/tree/dev/Release (look in the Edge folder for your board). See https://github.com/dc42/RepRapFirmware/blob/dev/WHATS_NEW.md for the full change information and important upgrade notes.

Hello,

what means this :"DuetWiFiServer-1.19beta1.bin Restored DuetWiFiServer-1.19beta1.bin"
Thank you

I accidentally removed that file from the Duet-WiF/Edge folder when I committed release 1.19beta6 of RepRapFirmware. So I put it back again.

1.19 beta 6 does not connect

I tried 1.19 beta6 but is unable to get the printer to connect to my wifi.
After updating, and running the SetNetwork macro, I connect through USB and M552 returns "Wifi module is idle"
Sending "M552 S1" and I get "Wifi module is changing state" for 1-2 minutes, then "Wifi module is idle" again.

Ideas?

Meh, M552 S2 responds:
11:24:24.849 : WiFi reported error: invalid access point configuration

Kulitorum

M588 * does not work. Nothing is deleted

So I try to get the machine into AP mode:

11:45:44.303 : serial: N45 M589 S"DuetWifi" P"Silverspoon" I192.168.1.1*28
And then M552 S2
I get:
11:46:03.063 : WiFi reported error: invalid access point configuration

I don't think AP mode is implemented yet, is it?

But yeah, I have the same problem joining my network. It just sits there doing nothing, like it can't find the network at all. Signal strength should be fine, and no other devices have any problems joining at all.

I got it to work by deleting all known networks one at a time and re-add my main wifi.

Beta 6 is actually working with my printer. Just need to figure out how to use the M587 command to delete previous wifi connections so I can re-enter the correct one.

It's M588 that does that, see https://duet3d.com/wiki/G-code#M588:_Forget_WiFi_host_network.

Did you use M589 to configure the access point parameter first? See https://duet3d.com/wiki/G-code#M589:_Configure_access_point_parameters. However, I haven't yet tested access point functionality, so it is more than likely that it doesn't work.

Thanks. I will clean it up now. It has been behaving itself so far and just about to complete a 10 hour print.

Any plans for a G-code that scans for and replies with available WiFi networks?

That requires some thought, because any existing connection to a WiFi network or existing access point that is being provided will have to be terminated in order to do the scan.

Well, It worked for one day. It will still print when I hook up via usb, but the wifi module will not work today. It just reports that the wifi module is idle. I am just going to replace the duet wifi with something else until you make the ethernet module available.
