3.4.6 Wifi won't connect - ssid with lowercase chars - SOLVED
-
@moth4017 That's another option yes, but it is handy to have those macros around anyway.
-
@dirtybirdnj in the M587 command you posted there is an extra single quote character before the final double quote character. Maybe that has something to do with it.
-
@dc42 you are correct that there's an extra trailing single quote, but that's not the issue
@Phaedrux I created the WifiAdd.g and ClearWifi.g macros
I added them to /macros and I got an error saying that the files / macros did not exist.
I added the files to /sys to see if that would work.
While I was doing this I visually observed that SerialTools was CHANGING MY QUOTES after I was typing them. This was an "am I going crazy" moment but it absolutely is happening.
Here is a thread about what I think is the issue, a MacOS setting that helpfully changes quotes for you. I do web development for a living and I've NEVER had an issue with quotes like this before it's completely dumbfounding.
https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/136402/how-to-disable-smart-quotes
I updated the setting on my machine to NOT do the helpful thing. Just to illustrate here's a block of text I've been using for testing. I can confirm that SerialTools does not change my quotes before I have a chance to hit enter.
M587 S"'s'l'o't'h'n'e't" P"'d'e'a'l'w'i't'h'i't" M587 S"slothnet" P"dealwithit" M587 S”slothnet” P"dealwithit” M587 S”’s’l’o’t’h’n’e’t” P”’d’e’a’l’w’i’t’h’i’t” '’ ‘’After I changed the quote setting, I reconnected and as before, I cannot run any GCODE command that includes quotes. M98 just doesn't work for me... just like M587.
I want to find something other than SerialTools to use I am glad I didn't pay for it.

@dirtybirdnj use CoolTerm instead of SerialTools. It is not on the App Store, but is better all round, with the options for ‘line mode’ and ‘local echo’ turned on.
I think I’ve posted before about macOSs penchant for changing straight quotes to curly quotes.

Smart Quotes strikes again.

I tried both the single quote delimited version, as well as the plaintext all lowercase versions.
I did this via both the M587 and the M98 P"AddWifi.g" ways and I am still running into the same brick wall

This may be a good case for using runonce.g to avoid having to use a terminal at all since it will get executed at startup.
You could also try adding the M98 command to the end of config.g

No real progress but I've been diligently testing / trying everything that has been suggested.
I prepared two macros, one with the "force it lowercase" single quotes, and one without.
I also made sure that every line was terminated with a semicolon, and removed any extra whitespace.

@dirtybirdnj said in 3.4.6 Wifi won't connect - ssid with lowercase chars:
M587 S"'s'l'o't'h'n'e't" P"'d'e'a'l'w'i't'h'i't";
You don't need to add any special escape characters when using a macro. Only when using a USB terminal that forces upper case.
Try clearing your saved networks again with the wifi clear macro and use wifiadd2.g again to add it. Then send M587 by itself to see what the saved networks are.
-
@dirtybirdnj Looking at the picture in your first post, I can't see if the external aerial is connected to the WiFi module. Is it? You'll get barely any signal without it. An external aerial should have been supplied with the Duet. Plug it into the tiny U.FL connector on the WiFi module:
One option is to update RepRapFirmware and the WiFi firmware to the current 3.5.0-rc.4 version. RRF now includes commands to scan the network (so you can see what networks it does see) with M587.1 and M587.2, but needs RRF 3.5 (beta/rc versions work) and DuetWifiServer 2.0 or later, both of which can be found here: https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/releases/tag/3.5.0-rc.4
In testing, DuetWifiServer 2.0beta7 seems to solve a lot of connectivity issues with newer routers, too.
Another option, to confirm that the WiFi module is working, is to set it up in access point mode, and connect directly to it. See https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/Reference/Gcodes#m589-configure-access-point-parameters

@droftarts YOU ARE THE MAN!
Thank you SO MUCH to everyone in this thread, but you get the gold star for being the one to suggest the antenna.
It worked IMMEDIATELY upon connecting it. I connected over USB and saw the "successfully connected / heres the IP" terminal message I expected. I disconnected USB and powered up via the 24v power supply directly... and it still works!
@Phaedrux thank you for clarifying that I don't need the single quotes anymore due to the macro / no effect by input method
It looks like I can get back to my task of being clueless about how to configure my board... but at least it works! Next steps X/Y config... and then getting a servo to do up down (z 1/0) and I am getting closer to drawing pictures with this heap of metal, motors and pcbs.
I am THRILLED. Happy Monday thank you everyone.

@dirtybirdnj As it's a drawing machine, see my config here for the Polargraph I built. It uses a servo to raise and lower the pen. Ignore the parts about the motors and kinematics, as mine is not a cartesian machine.
