Driver install for USB
-
Sounds like the port is being used by another program. Do you have Pronterface or Repetier or another program connected to that port?
If all else fails, reboot Windows.
-
ok here is what I did. I rebooted with the printer unhooked and no printer shows up under device manager then I plug in printer and the port shows up and the name is DuetWifi or Duet Ethernet 3d printer control electronics (com6) is this the right driver
-
printer still comes up with error 5
-
Which program is giving error 5? Or is it the printer giving error 5 when you send it a command?
-
I'm using Ponterface and it does it when I try to connect. When I first put in the new board it connect with no trouble, but then the issue was when I sent the M552 S1 command it couldn't find a local network and wifi was idle
-
I'm fairly sure that Error 5 in Pronterface means that some other program has attached to that serial port already.
-
I agree a 100% with you. I just uninstalled the driver and reinstalled it. But I get the same error code. Is there an earlier driver version I could try. I have no idea what version of firmware I have on the printer
-
It's not a problem with the driver, it's something else on your PC grabbing the port. This http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/29B079481C5ECE76862578810082394E may help you work out what.
-
Looking thru all the ports it shows com 6 blank and that's the one its connected to. I just want to use the duetwifi not become a computer expert. Any way to move to a different port. Thank you
-
If you connect it to a different USB port on your computer, then the COM port number will change.
-
Thank you. Printer now online. Standby for the next problem. LOL
-
Ok next problem wifi reported no known networks found
-
-
When I installed my first board I sailed right thru all this and now its being a real pain in the butt, with this board any ideas. Thank you
-
Which bit are you stuck on?
-
Sending M552 S1 and this is the message I get wifi reported error no known networks found, wifi module is idle. With the first board I had no trouble with this at all
-
Have you loaded up your WiFi access point details with the M587 command as DC linked to above?
M587 S"your-network-ssid" P"your-network-password" remember this is case sensitive so will need to be put in using a text editor or dumb terminal such as yat or possibly even hyperterminal will do it or put the command into a macro but I suspet you will need to use a terminal program as you wont be able to load a macro unless you move the SD Card to the PC
-
When I send 587 S I get bad parameter in 587 command. When I did all this with my first board everything worked like it was suppose. I know right now I have 1.19.1 driver. I have no idea what firmware came with the board, but something is not right. I am able to take the sd card out and put in my computer. I am getting really close to going back to my ramps board a 3 color diamond
-
What is the exact M587 command you are running that it is telling you has a bad parameter? You can obfuscate the password when replying.
-
M587 or M587p remembered networks TNCAP2FCC19 or M587S bad paramter in M587S
