No Connection after Updating DuetWiFiServer-1.25b0.bin

Adamfilip

I updated my Duet2Wifi to 3.2Beta4, went fine, but when I tried to update Wifi servier to 1.25b0,, it hung for a long time and now I cant see it on my network.. cant connect to it.

how do I regain access to my printer?

usb serial console, try flashing again with m997 s1, or transfer an older firmware to sd card and flash that.

could also be you just need to re-add the network with m587 but iirc 1.25 didn't need that when i tried it.

and if it doesn't work https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/What_to_do_if_your_Duet_won't_respond

Have been unable to see Duet when connected via USB.
light do turn on when plugged in. but not visible in device manager, not visible as port in Pronterface
Tried 5 different cables.

How far do you get going through this page?

Try 5 more cables and a different usb port or even PC.

Managed to get it to show up in Device manager once i enabled legacy devices. Updated the driver, but it says it cant start the device. retarted PC, and board. continues to say same thing. still doesnt show up in Pronterface

BTW i only have 5 cables.. cant get 5 more and only have one pc

Have you pressed the erase button yet? That would clear the currently flashed firmware and then it should show up in device manager as a bossa port.

When you updated to 3.2beta4 what exactly happened? How did you update?

What lights are illuminated on the board?

Have you tried connecting it with the SD card removed?

Adamfilip

I havent pressed erase button yet.
I just backed up my SD card
When I updated to 3.2b4 I first updated the combined firmware Bin, then the webcontrol then added the DuetWiFiServer-1.25b0.bin, it was processing for 5+min and never changed.. I refreshed webcontrol and it was no longer connected.. restarted.. nothing.

All three lights, Blue, Red, Green are lit all the time when SD is installed.
Blue is off when SD is removed.

Adamfilip

Tried the erase and reset.. still nothing shows up in device manager.. no Bossa device

I also tried with my Wifes Mac,, couldnt see it in terminal

it would be odd for the RRF update to succeed and the wifi firmware failing to render the board unresponsive with a usb cable.

more than one user has been surprised to find it working after having tried another able even after trying 5, so I would perhaps try to borrow one or give the board to a friend to try etc.

one thing struck me as odd though,

are you refering to the blue light on the wifi modue or the blue Vin light? (ref https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Hardware_Overview#Section_LED_indications for an overview of the leds so we're on the same page)

another option is to upload well lit close up pictures of the board in case we can spot any damage, but given you have a green LED the most common failures are ruled out.

Adamfilip

I purchased another Duet2Wifi and using the same cable, same PC, same USb port.. the new board shows up fine.

when i try the old board.. still doesnt.

Phaedrux

When and where did you purchase the Duet that won't show up?

Adamfilip

I believe I purchased directly from Duet3d several years ago. as far as I recall, 2016

Phaedrux

Ah, ok, so not warranty eligible.

With the SD card removed and the erase button pressed when connected via USB and it doesn't show up as a bossa port that's not a great sign.

Perhaps some photos are in order as Bearer suggested in case we can see anything obviously amiss.

Adamfilip

I swapped in the new board to my printer and its fine now

I took the old board and plugged into another PC, and managed to finally see the Bossa Port and have begun installing firmware.

cant explain why its now visible now, perhaps the USB port on the board is flakey

Hoping to use the old board to upgrade my 2nd printer an Ender 5, so all good hopefully.

does it now work with the same cable/computer where it initially didn't?

Adamfilip

Hard to say. Once I loaded the Firmware up to 3.11 and connected and mounted it into my other printer.. I now cant see it again on my pc via USB

board is showing 1 red light and 1 blue light on when power via AC
Wifi light is not turning on at all.

here is a video, might be helpful

Hard to tell from the exposure, but seems to be a lack of the green 3.3v LED (or possibly a clone, they usually have mostly red LED's - the sticker on the CPU seems to suggest repairs or a clone as well).

please refer to https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Hardware_Overview#Section_LED_indications and confirm wheather or not the 3.3v led is lit (regardless of colour)

edit: if you're missing the 3.3v look closely at U2 (three pin device) just next to the temperature daughterboard, thats where 3.3v is made.

Adamfilip

This is not a clone. but its an early board.
