SD Card not working

AdrAs

I've got a new duet 1.04 board, but it seems like I messed up the firmware upgrades.

Right now, it seems like the SD-Card is no longer working. Or at least it seems to be working only during startup. After I got issues with a 64gb SD card which I formated with one partition at 30gb to FAT32, I replaced it with a brand new 32gb sandisk card today which still shows the same issues.

Here's my output from a M122 command:

Seems like it's working at first, but then not anymore.

Config.g seems to be loaded during startup, at least I can enable FTP and WIFI which works.

However when I connect via ftp (no user and password), I don't get the directory content in my client, and the YAT interface is spammed with WIFI SPI errors.

Using M501-M503 commands also gives me write errors.

I also can't install firmware using M997 command, since I'm always getting file not found errors.

My Panel Due also doesn't turn on anymore. I can only get it to flicker when I have the erase jumper set.

config.g for reference:

; General preferences
;M575 P1 S1 B57600                           ; enable support for PanelDue
M550 P"My Printer"                          ; set printer name

; Network

M586 P0 S1                                  ; enable HTTP
M586 P1 S1                                  ; disable FTP
M586 P2 S1                                  ; disable Telnet

Does anybody have an idea how I can fix this?

@adras
When copying the data to the SD card after formatting, did you accidentally move one directory to the other?
Happened to me recently, but I noticed it before inserting the SD card.

This page might help you with the check (Duet3D Docs).

Beim kopieren der Daten auf die SD Karte nach der Formatierung, hast Du da versehendlich ein Verzeichnis ins andere verschoben ?
Ist mir neulich passiert, aber es ist mir noch vor dem einsetzen der SD Karte aufgefallen.

@adras said in SD Card not working:

the YAT interface is spammed with WIFI SPI errors.

Can you show a screen shot of this?

Do you have another smaller 32gb or less SD card to test with?

Can you capture a photo of the SD card slot soldering?

@Norder
I copied the files over and over again so many times that I should have gotten it right just by accident. No, files are definitelly in the right place.

@Phaedrux
I just tried the 16gb sd-card from my other printer which also uses a duet board. Also didn't work at all.
What was also weird is that when I connected the working printer via usb to my laptop the panel due turned on (without an sd-card in the duet).
For my new duet board the panel due doesn't turn on.

I also tried resoldering the pins as you can see in the picture. Pin 1 from the left looks a bit weird to me, I'll give it another bit of solder

@adras is that PCB black?

AdrAs

@jay_s_uk
Yes, it is. Got it from china yikes

AdrAs

@adras
Maybe I broke the firmware, I think at one time I accidentally flashed DuetWifiServer.bin with bossa.

Is there a way to make a complete reset of the processor? Because even after erasing it, my wifi settings are still present. Maybe there's something stuck in the memory somewhere

@adras you are running old beta firmware. Please upgrade to the 3.4.1 release.

AdrAs

@dc42
Still the same with 3.4.1. When I use 3.4.1 RC2 and run M122 I hear the windows device disconnect sound and I don't get any output at all

m588 S"*"
Failed to reset the WiFi module to factory settings
ok

This is also kinda interesting. Why doesn't that work?

cncmachineguy

@adras maybe because of this:

"Yes, it is. Got it from china yikes"

jay_s_uk

@adras try sending M552 S0 before sending M558 S"*"

Phaedrux

It's also possible you don't have a proper firmware flashed to the wifi module. Take the wifi server bin from the latest release and try flashing it with M997 S1.

If it still can't read from the SD card, then I think your socket may need to be reflowed.

AdrAs

@phaedrux

M997 S1 doesn't work, because the file is never found. I put one in the sys, one in the firmware and one in the www directory, I even specified the path myself

AdrAs

@phaedrux
WOHOOO finally. Your reflow idea was great. I just used my hot air rework station set it to 350°C and heated the thing up. I saw some vapor/smoke coming (could have been some remaining flux from my soldering attempt).

But now ...

m21
Error: M21: No SD card present
ok
m21
SDHC card mounted in slot 0, capacity 31.91Gb
ok

My panel due is also lighting up now.

Cool, thanks for your help guys

Well, turned out it was something completely different. I just hooked up the board again and the panel due was blank. Suddenly everything stopped working.

It was also weird, that the Serial port changed. The working one was no. 4, the not working one was no.3. Then I thought ... wait a minute ... I've got two usb ports on my laptop, let's use the other one.

Turned out that connecting the duet to one port works, but connecting the duet to the other one doesn't.

I just used a usb tester. On the working port the duet board consumes about 300mA, on the non working port it consumes only 100mA.

And I thought the usb-port survied that 12V incident a couple of years ago. But even if the fuses seem to have recovered, that port is no longer able to deliver enough power.

So the entire problem all the time was having the duet connected to a broken usb-port which doesn't provide enough power.
