Can't find config.g file. First time setup Duet3 Mini 5 Plus

[tmicke]

I'm trying to setup my Duet 3 Mini 5+ (ethernet) for the first time.

Looking at the setup guide+Getting+Connected+to+your+Duet/7) at step 12 you are supposed to have access to the config.g file, I have not. See my screenshot.
I want to set my IP so the ethernet connection doesn't get lost when I reboot/restart.

I am using a Mac and Safari, I have tried Firefox as well. As a terminal program I'm using SerialTools.

I updated to latest RRF by double press the reset button and transfer the latest file to the duet (sorry, can't remember exactly what it was called, this is all very new to me) and the Duet rebooted after installing upgrade file.
Afterwards I ran M115 in SerialTools and got the respons that I'm running FFR 3.3 and it was shipped with something like 3.1 beta*** So I guess the update worked(?)

I am lost..

@tmicke You can create a new config.g or make one with the configurator...

@tmicke

By accessing the System folder, from the DWC - on the left, you can create whatever files you need.

Click on NEW FILE and enter the name config.g.

Then when the editor opens enter whatever commands you desire.

When finished click SAVE

The DWC knows the name config.g and will ask if you want to reboot the machine - answer YES.

@cosmowave You are talking to a toddler, how do I do to create it with the configurator and where can I find the configurator?

Yesterday I ran some configurator on the web, to configure my duet and downloaded a config.zip afterwards. I just now uploaded that zip file to the duet and downloaded it in DWC and I edited in this:

; Network
M552 S1 P192.168.1.35 ; enable network
M586 P0 S1 ; enable HTTP
M586 P1 S0 ; disable FTP
M586 P2 S0 ; disable Telnet

And then saved it, does this mean that the ethernet is activated with my specified IP Address permanently?

But I still miss the config.g file

@fcwilt Thanks!
With regards to my previous post, about me having a config.zip file uploaded to the duet, how shall I do with that file? Or maybe that file contains the config.g file.

Ahhhh. Sorry for being impatient and all over the place.

I don't like the configuration tool and I don't use it. When I started with my first Duet board it came with an example config.g file. I studied that and referred to the Gcode Dictionary to learn how to use the different commands.

The config.g file is executed every time you power on the machine so any network settings you entered will apply until you change them.

When you upload a ZIP file the DWC knows to unzip it and place the files where they go.

So if you uploaded a ZIP file with just config.g you should end up with a file config.g in the SYSTEM folder.

Ok, I see what you mean, I am somewhat familiar with g codes just not how the "structure" works in a Duet with the different .g files.

But this will get me started, Thank you!

If you have a config.zip from the configuration tool already, you can upload it by using the big blue button labeled UPLOAD SYSTEM FILES when viewing the system tab.
