@droftarts how to copy the SD files?

@zecreton Can you put the SD card in your computer? That's the easiest way to check the capacity, copy files off and format it. If you have managed to flash the firmware and can access DWC, you can also download files by highlighting all of them, right clicking and selecting 'Download as ZIP'.

It may say '16GB' on the SD card, but they can be formatted into smaller sections. If you have access to DWC, send M39 and post the response. I expect the partition on the SD card is full.

@droftarts i don<t have an sd card slot and i can<t access DWC

@zecreton For reading the SD card on your PC, get a Micro SD card to USB adapter from Amazon or other shop, eg https://www.amazon.co.uk/Integral-Micro-Card-Reader-USB/dp/B001JPPQS6

but for the webcontrol file it says that the file exceeds flash size

I may have misunderstood what you were trying to do. Did you try to flash the 'webcontrol file' to the 6XD using Bossa? Only the firmware file is flashed to the 6XD, which you already did. The webcontrol files go on the SD card. Is the 6XD working again now? If not, because you sent the 'webcontrol file' to it, re-flash with the 'Duet3Firmware_MB6XD. If it is working, DWC should still be on the SD card, and you should be able to connect to it again, same as before you erased the firmware.

@droftarts i can't even see the mainboard port when i plug it in my computer

zecreton

@droftarts does that mean it's broken?

Do you mean via USB? Try a different USB cable, and/or a different port on your computer. It really would help if you gave a bit more information, and describe what you have done each time.

@droftarts it doesn't appear in the ports when i connect it, i tried a different cable and different port but it doesn't work

Have you tried the reset procedure to clear the firmware again with the erase jumper?
What lights are visible on the board when you connect by USB?

zecreton

zecreton

@Phaedrux i thought i did, but i just did it again and it worked

zecreton

@Phaedrux i still can't access dwc tho

Phaedrux

Have you been able to view the files on the SD card on your computer yet?

zecreton

@Phaedrux how do i do it outside of dwc or an sd slot?

Phaedrux

You would need an SD card reader of some sort to access the files on a computer. There is no way around that.

zecreton

@Phaedrux is it possible like with a phone plugged in a computer?

Phaedrux

I don't know about that, but I know you can get a USB SD card reader for a few dollars.

zecreton

@Phaedrux ok i'll look for that, thank you
