3.5.0b1+ Wifi error - SPI timeout

[StreetFurnitureAustralia]

@OwenD I can't replicate it but when it happens again then I can try and get it.

@OwenD I'm not in the office but a colleague sent me thisreceived_6062637163802703.mp4

As you can see its being spammed

[OwenD]

@StreetFurnitureAustralia
That's the same behaviour
Can you try to get the reports as shown above and then roll the wifi back to 1.2.7
I haven't had a repeat since rolling back but it's infrequent for me, so I can't be sure it's the firmware

[StreetFurnitureAustralia]

@OwenD I will try just never don't this before, is there a way to log this via the duet webinterface and not need to connect a laptop directly?

[OwenD]

@StreetFurnitureAustralia
No, if the wifi module can't connect then the only way to get the info is via a terminal like YAT using the usb connection
If you roll back to 1.27 and have no further issues it's at least showing the same results as I'm getting
Maybe it's an Aussie only issue?
Wifi channel or something related?

@OwenD could make sense, This is at my work and we use Unifi wifi gear. How about yourself?

Good morning @dc42 ,

I would like to share my case in this post, I don't know if it will help.

After a while (X), usually the next day, my printer loses connection and I have to reset it to get a new IP address. In addition, it often changes IP addresses, and I have even been given IP addresses that have already been assigned to other Duets.

The commands I used to use to establish a connection no longer work:

M552 S-1
G4 S1
M552 S0
G4 S1
M552 S1

To solve this problem, I have had to use the following commands:

M552 S-1
G4 S1
M400
M552 S0
G4 S1
M400
M552 S1

If I don't perform these steps, sometimes I can't connect the printer. I suppose that these commands cannot be launched during a print to switch from M552 S1 to M552 S2 (although I haven't tried it).

Finally, I would like to share the results of M122 and the object model and M540 command, as I think this may be where one of the problems lies:

In M122, the MAC address is visible.
In the object model and the M540 command, the MAC address is "00:00:00:00:00:00".

MAC: 00:00:00:00:00:00

@OwenD I couldn't get the info due to time restraints at work but I have rolled it back.

[StreetFurnitureAustralia]

@OwenD @dc42 reverting back to 1.27 has made the SPI issue disappear for me.

[OwenD]

@StreetFurnitureAustralia
I also did not get any re-occurences with WiFi 1.27
I have been running RRF3.5b4 and WifFi version 2.1b4 for several days now with no errors.
May be too early to tell but it may be fixed.

[StreetFurnitureAustralia]

@OwenD I can't see beta 4 only beta 3.

[OwenD]

@StreetFurnitureAustralia
Typo on my part.
RRF is b3

[StreetFurnitureAustralia]

@OwenD ok cheers will give it a try

@OwenD @dc42 I am still getting the SPI issue on the new firmware and I seem to be able to recreate the issue by going into the Unifi web UI and going to the duet and clicking reconnect that seems to put it into that error state

[RozMark]

I have the same issue, Duet 2 WiFI v3.5.0-beta.3, Duet WiFi server 2.1beta4 and DWC 3.5.0-beta.3
Currently can't connect to board trough USB, not enough place for straight USB plug, waiting 90 degrees USB plug.
Reseting WiFI (M552 S-1) is hard trough PanelDue because error was spaming PanelDue with popup messages and it's not posible to press Console button when errors poping constantly.
Any news about that error?

[OwenD]

@RozMark
I haven't had a re-occurrence since 3.5b3 (now on 3.5b3+)

[RozMark]

I think this error started when I did upgrade firmware from 3.4.3 to 3.5.0beta3.
At first I didn't upgraded DuetWifiServer and then first time this error happened.
So I concluded that most likely problem was with old version od Wifi server so I upgraded to latest version.
And I did it twice because first time I was not sure if it finished correctly because error apared again.
I'm not home at the moment so I can't check if DuetWifiServer is 2.1beta4, It is 2.1 just not sure if it is beta4 or what.

Yestereday, in 3 hours got this error twice.
I'm using WiFi extender because signal was to weak for direct connecting to router if that have any importance.
