Question: Cannot connect via DWC while print is paused (Duet 2)

[wieman01]

Hello,

We face a strange issue whenever we pause one of the prints or when the printer pauses having run out of filament. As soon as we reset the machine or press "Continue" the wifi connection works fine.

We run the firmware version 3.4.5 on a Duet 2 with an external antenna.

Is that by design or am I missing something?

Are you able to ping the Duet IP address when the print is paused?

@Phaedrux

Yes, I can ping the Duet's ip address, I get a response. DWC also tries to connect, but the connection drops constantly.

@wieman01 please share the contents of your pause.g file.

@wieman01 please share the contents of your pause.g file.

Thank you. These are the contents:

G91            			; relative positioning
G1 Z20 F360     		; lift Z by 10mm

When I checked the file I noticed I had filed the contents under "Pause.g" with a capital letter. I changed it to "pause.g" and ta-da... I can connect with no problems.

So sorry for having bothered you, but apparently this discussion was necessary.

Thank you both!

@wieman01 I'm guessing that you are running a Duet with attached SBC ?

I am running 7 Duet 2's in combination with Duex 5's on 24V. No SBC attached. May I ask why you would ask?

The setup is perfect for us, however, next year we'll get a few Duet 3's to see how we can further scale our printers.

I just noticed that the issues has returned. I was a little premature in hoping the issue had gone... I renamed "Pause.g" to "pause.g" but to no avail it appears.

Any other clue that would come to your mind?
