New test firmware 1.19+4 and DuetWiFiServer 1.19+1
-
I have made new test firmware available at https://www.dropbox.com/sh/wq0u70kpapqc3is/AAC6I8TS5Lbwuziq_r3M15Qea?dl=0. These are the latest candidates for the 1.19.1 release.
If you are already running firmware 1.19 then you can install these through the web interface. Duet WiFi owners, please install DuetWiFiFirmware.bin first, then verify that you are running firmware 1.19+4 before installing DuetWiFiServer.bin.
The most significant change is for the Duet WiFi. If the connection to the access point is lost, and the automatic reconnection attempt fails, the firmware now attempts a manual reconnect. The state of this process is reported to PanelDue and to USB.
The only other change is a fix for a bug in 1.19+3 whereby certain commands near the end of an SD card print file might be ignored, for example a M104 command that was followed by a movement comment.

Update done on my side.
Can you delete the line M400
In the G code End ?? -
Yes, please delete the M400 and let me know if it still works properly.

I updated to this version and tried the heightmap I used to make before at M557 R140 S20, But I am getting "Error: bad grid definition: Too many grid points; suggest increase spacing to 28.0mm" as a result. This is within the 121 max probe points for Duet 0.6 isn't it? Because of the "Heightmap to the moon" issue (http://forums.reprap.org/read.php?416,758939) I turned to M557 R120 S20 and that works. So it seems that this error gets thrown at every grid above 9x9 instead of 11x11, am I right?
Despite the above the bed gets probed correctly and shows no sign of improper values like before.
Edit: Added the map. This grid of 11x11 throws the error mentioned above.

I test and need more M400.
On the other hand the progress bar in STATE PRINTING, does not agree with the rest of the layers to be printed. It is already at 100% while there are still more than 20 layers to print -
Loaded the new firmware, and the wifi server.
First print it disconnected 15min and refuses to reconnect so similar to the previous for myself.Update, its reconnected after about 10 tries of pressing connect while still printing and waiting a few mins.

DeltaCon, your M557 R140 S20 setting implies a 280x280 grid with 20mm spacing, which is a 15x15 grid so 225 points, too high for the older Duets.
Synergy41, thanks for the feedback.
Jarery, it would be helpful if you can also connect to your printer via USB and Pronterface, then when a WiFi disconnection occurs you can see what reconnection attempts were made and post the trace here.

Hmm, seems I was using a 25mm spacing before, not a 20mm like I thought… thanks for the maths lesson

Do you mean that with version 1.19+4 the heater turns off correctly even without the M400 command; or do you mean that you still need to include the M400 command to make the heater turn off?
-
No more worries with the heater.
This is just the scroll bar of the print that is ahead compared to the actual layers. -
Hello
This update is magical on my scara no more vibrations!
BIG THANK YOU -
No more worries with the heater.
This is just the scroll bar of the print that is ahead compared to the actual layers.I haven't changed the way the progress bar works. The progress bar doesn't use the layer count, it uses the fraction of the gcode file that has been processed.
EDIT: however, I have found an inaccuracy in the way it is calculated, which causes the progress bar to be an over-estimate for small prints. I will fix this.

Okay,
It does not matter.
Thank you for all the work you do for the community. -

Using newest 1.19.2 , i continue to have a terrible time to connect and stay connected. Typically i need to kill the powerbar power and turn back on to reconnect.
I don't think I've had a print complete and stayed connected since the beta 1.19 upgrade.Im now wishing i purchased the ethernet versions. Or is there a way I can use the web browser interface with a serial port connection from a laptop and I'll forget the wifi part?
Im on a mac using MacPronterface and after it disconnects I run a M122 command and get the following :

Im now wishing i purchased the ethernet versions. Or is there a way I can use the web browser interface with a serial port connection from a laptop and I'll forget the wifi part?
I'm also having a hard time with my duet wifi at the moment.
I'm writting a small python caching proxy to replace the wifi/webserver stack from the duet while still using the web ui
At the moment I'm able to correctly proxy everything to the duet through wifi, I'm able to connect, upload and print through it.
I also have a thread polling the duet with M408 every seconds through usb/serial to provide rr_status data instead of getting them through wifi.
I'll probably try to proxy every http rr_* commands as usb/serial gcodes (not sure about the upload/download yet) -
Please can both of you connect via both USB and WiFi, and when the WiFi connection is lost, see what reconnection messages are written to USB and post them here? This is assuming that you are both running firmware 1.19.2.
Some users have found that the WiFi connection is more stable if they set the access point to a fixed channel (usually 6) instead of leaving it on auto select.
If the disconnections occur only during printing or other movements, and you have high microstepping selected, try putting the microstepping back to x16 with interpolation.
A few users have converted a Duet WiFi to a Duet Ethernet. Hot air rework equipment is needed to remove the WiFi module, but after that it's straightforward to install the Ethernet module in its place.

Thanks for the reply
Both the suggestions I have been using since the beginning of my issues:
- I've set my modem to a fixed channel from earlier suggestions
- i've always been using 16x with interpolation (0.9 steppers)
I've had macpronterface hooked up while i print and its disconnected. Running M122 on it after i lose web browser connection, the output ri posted above.
Perhaps I don't understand your instructions of " see what reconnection messages are written to USB" as i see no messages mirrored to the usb when it disconnects and as mentioned the M122 output is as i posted above where it states reconnections 0. Is there a different command you want me to run via usb after it disconnects?My Settings:General are as per default, ajax retries 5 (I've boosted to 10 with no effect),
-
Are you definitely running version 1.19.2 of DuetWiFiServer as well as version 1.19.2 of DuetWiFiFirmware? Look in the Settings General tab to check.

Firmware Name: RepRapFirmware for Duet WiFi
Firmware Electronics: Duet WiFi 1.0
Firmware Version: 1.19.2 (2017-09-01)
WiFi Server Version: 1.19.2
Web Interface Version: 1.19 -
If the WiFi module has disconnected from your router then it should write a message to USB saying so and giving progress information about the reconnection attempt. This was new in 1.19.2.
