duet 3 6xd

Please try a different USB port or even different PC entirely.
Also try a USB hub if you have one.

hi still same problem

Phaedrux

When and where did you purchase the Duet?

If you connect the board to the network and startup with M552 S1 in the config.g file on the SD card does it get an IP address on our router?

hi all pc wont connect to my duet 3 6xd
red green red led lit but i get this error Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed) pls help

If the 6XD is not running firmware (in which case it should flash the red STATUS LED once a second) then it is probably in Bossa mode. When in Bossa mode the MCU unfortunately puts the USB port in high speed mode, which makes it very sensitive to the cable. In particular, using cables longer than the recommended maximum for USB, or using USB extension cables, is likely to result in the "Device Descriptor Request Failed" message that you report. So try a good quality USB cable, making sure that it is a data cable and not a power-only cable.

If you are not sure whether the board is in Bossa mode, you can put it in Bossa mode by fitting the Erase jumper and then pressing the Reset button. Remove the Erase jumper before you use Bossa to program it.
