Problem with escape characters for password for Wi-Fi card.

[Schickfus]

Hi

I have been trying out the wifi card. But I have hard time configure it. Or getting to connect.

I have a 6HC and 3.5beta2

In a wifi that I can’t change there are a star character and an equal character.

In a extra wifi.gcode file I do.

M552 I1 S0 ; Turn off the wifi module
M588 "" ; forget all current SSID networks
M587 S"Surf" P"=U2raA44Ae*”
M552 I1 S1 ; turn the wifi module back on

But it won’t find the network

I think it is a 5 GHz and not 2,4 GHz
Can this be a problem.

[Schickfus]

@T3P3TONY And @dc42 do you know what is the problem?

[gloomyandy]

@Schickfus The current WiFi modules can only support 2.4GHz, so if your network is 5GHz only that may be the problem (though most routers support both). Perhaps another option would be to run the printer in access point mode and connect directly to it?

[jay_s_uk]

@Schickfus also M588 "" isn't valid to forget all networks. It should be M588 S"*"

[Schickfus]

@jay_s_uk

Ok the stars get filtered out in the chat.

So I am connected via the serial tool on a Mac to the board.

So I do

M587
Remembered networks: none
ok

Then I do

M552 I1 S0
ok

M587 S"SGuest" P"Test"

Don not get an ok

M552 I1 S1

Don't get an answer

M587
Remembered networks: none
ok

What is wrong?

[Schickfus]

@gloomyandy

Ok thanks. I have gone to a network with just a 2.4 GHz

[jay_s_uk]

@Schickfus i would suggest you shouldn't be using the I1.
Just use M552 S0

Edit: reading further, I should only be used when in SBC mode

[T3P3Tony]

@Schickfus have you installed the wifi firmware?
M997 S1

[Phaedrux]

If you're having troubles sending these commands from the terminal program you can put the commands into a macro file and then execute that.

[Schickfus]

@T3P3Tony

Yes according to the two files to be added link.
Yes

Would it work other wise?

But it is not whole ssid. It is shopped

[Schickfus]

@Phaedrux

Yes I did. But this does not work.
It won't run the file

[Phaedrux]

What did you have in the file exactly?
How did you try to run the file?

You need to use M98 P"macroname.g" to execute a macro.

[Schickfus]

@Phaedrux

I used

M98 P"Gcodes/Wifimacro.g"

; wifimacro.g
; tell the Duet to connect to the wifi
;M118 S"Wifimacro turn off Wifi"
M118 S"Wifimacro turn off Wifi"
M552 I1 S0 ; Turn off the wifi module
M588 "*" ; forget all current SSID networks
M587 S"SurfSpaceGuest" P"Test"
M552 I1 S1 ; turn the wifi module back on
;M118 S"Wifimacro turn on Wifi"
M118 S"Wifimacro turn on Wifi"

Remove the I1 from your M552 commands. Are you using an SBC?

@Schickfus said in Problem with escape characters for password for Wi-Fi card.:

M588 "*" ; forget all current SSID networks

You're missing the S in front of the "*". It must be M588 S"*"

The I1 is a required parameter to M552 when using the optional WiFi interface on the MB6HC board, so select the wifi interface. The default is I0 which is the Ethernet interface.

I recall reading in previous posts that Macs have a habit of substituting "smart quotes" for plain double quotes. Are you sure that hasn't happened?

[Schickfus]

@dc42

No I have done some testing.

M587.1

M587.2

And gett ssid string in the beginning chopped offed. Does this mater.

That's a known issue in RRF 3.5beta2, fixed in the forthcoming beta3. It's only the reported SSID that gets truncated, not the stored SSID.

@dc42

Is there a way to know that I have installed the right wifi code?

The files:
DuetWiFiServer_32S3.bin
DuetWiFiServer.bin
