Duet2 WiFi V1.04 board running 2.03.3 firmware
-
@dc42 No it does not. It flashes a couple of times when I first connect it , but then nothing.

@lexia said in Duet2 WiFi V1.04 board running 2.03.3 firmware:
Yes the router has 2 x 2.4mhz channels and 2 x 5mhz channels
Does that mean there is a dedicated SSID for 2.4ghz and that's what the Duet is connected to?
Can you also send
M588 S"*"
to clear all saved SSIDs and then use M587 to add the 2.4ghz network again? -
@Phaedrux Yes there is a dedicated SSID and the router channels 2.4ghz or 5ghz automatically. The router is split into 2 units, the first unit SSID being the one I am using and the second one having a different SSID.
I ran M588 S"*" etc. as requested and received the following reply
M588: Failed to reset the WiFi module to factory settings
error retrieving wifi status message bad reply format version
M587: Failed to add SSID to remembered list.
I've used these commands previously but not got these replys -
Can you try sending these commands
M552 S-1
M552 S0
M552 S1
M997 S1
M588 S"*"And report the response from each.
-
@Phaedrux M552 S-1: WiFi module stopped
M552 S0: WiFi module started
M552 S1: WiFi module is idle
M997 S1: connecting at 230400 baud success etc. -
@lexia Sorry pressed the wrong button!!
M588 S"*" : Failed to reset WiFi module to factory settings -
@lexia One thing I have just noticed- The firmware.bin file has not changed to FIRMWARE.CUR ( I am assuming that it should change)
-
@lexia this board doesn't act like a BTT board etc so doesn't automatically flash a file called firmware.bin (there's no bootloader). Best to bossa the board to update
-
@jay_s_uk Thanks Jay, does this file stay as RepRapFirmware.bin or should it be firmware.bin? I have tried so many things to get this WiFi working that I have lost track of what I started with.
-
@lexia with bossa, the name doesn't matter.
Just follow fallback procedure

M552 S1: WiFi module is idle
M997 S1: connecting at 230400 baud success etc.After the flash succeeding did you try adding your SSID again?
-
@Phaedrux Yes I did and it returned success: SSID added, but thats as far as it goes, it will not advance further, the led stays off and the control panel for the router shows no connection. There are no indicators of any problem with either the board or the router so tomorrow I will contact Vodafone (ISP providers) and insist that they change the router because the paper printer cannot connect (WPS) but works perfectly with USB connection
-
One way to test the wifi module is to use Access Point mode.
https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/Reference/Gcodes#m589-configure-access-point-parameters
-
@Phaedrux No joy I'm afraid M589: failed to Configure access point parameters. The router has double channels, the main channel and a "guest" channel with independent SSID and passwords. I get the same response whichever way I try, so I think I shall give up with this board, consign it to the scrap bin and try again with something else.

What command did you send?
When and where did you purchase the board?
-
@Phaedrux M589 S"----------" P"-----------------" I"192.168.5.10"
I did not purchase the board, I was given it by a friends wife after his death, along with 5 or 6 SD cards. when I first had it there was no SD card in it and non of the cards that came with it were RRF cards so I think that, given the firmware installed dated 2019, I expect the board was bought in 2020 -
@lexia i really suggest updating the firmware. its not difficult and they you're not trying to wrangle something thats 3 years out of date

Did you send M552 S0 first?
-
@Phaedrux Yes I did, I think that there may be a problem with the board because nothing seems to get past "switching on the WiFi" but at the moment I am not sure if it is a problem with the board or the router so I think I will go on and update the board while I am waiting to get the router changed. In the meantime I all the help that I have received while trying to get this up and running

If you still have the same issue after updating the firmware and trying a different router than we have verified there is a problem with the board. When and where did you purchase it? The firmware would indicate it's older.
