Remote control the Duet 3

Anthoval

Hi,

I would like to know if there was any way to control the Duet 3 (ethernet) with my phone.

Even though it is an ethernet Duet, is it possible to use a "Wifi/Ethernet adaptor"?

I feel like there's two issues here.

Can you control duet via phone? Yes - with a web browser. DWC works perfectly on it.
You can connect a raspberry pi and then you'll have wifi.

If your Duet is connected to your WiFi router, you should already be able to connect to it from your smartphone.

@Anthoval if you want to continue to run in standalone (i.e. no SBC) but want to utilise wifi, then an ethernet to wifi adapter is the way to go.

Okay good to know. I've been thinking about something. Would it be possible to send ethernet frames to the Duet and expect it to react as if you used DWC? So basically, trigger macros on the Duet without using DWC.

i assume you mean http requests?
yes. you can see the requests being send in the debug console of your browers.
these can be send via any other tool

also the duet has a telnet interface

Available http cpommands are documented at https://github.com/Duet3D/DuetWebControl/blob/legacy/README.md. There is an additional command rr_model that isn't included in that list.

Great, thanks for your advices. My goal here is to remote control the Duet without using any browser, I'll reply here to give a feedback on how things went!

@Anthoval Take a look at some of the options here: https://duet3d.dozuki.com/c/Community_Projects

I have added page https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/HTTP_API to replace the outdated one in Duet Web Control github.

I'll leave these links here as well:

@chrishamm, I had lost track of those! Still missing rr_model though.
