DuetWifi stopped working unexpectedly
-
@biomed27 sounds like he's dead Jim
-
@jay_s_uk any ideas what could have caused it? Looks like board failed mid print with many successful prints prior to that. It’s connected to power surge protector too.
-
@biomed27 usually its a short in the cabling somewhere that causes boards to die mid-print.
just sticking another board in probably isn't a good idea until the source of the failure of the first board is found.
I'm guessing you've tried a number of different USB cables to try and connect to the Duet? They can sometimes be picky about the micro USB cable used.
Also check nothing gets hot, especially the MCU, WiFi module and SD Card socket -
@jay_s_uk yes, I’ve tried many micro usb cables. Nothing appears to be hot on the board. Would disconnecting all components rule out a short in cabling?
-
@biomed27 sounds like theres not going to be much else you can do. have you had the board long?
-
@jay_s_uk yes, ordered from Duet in 2018. No issues until yesterday.
-
@biomed27 might be time to think about a replacement then.
the duet 3 mini+ has the same mounting holes etc -
@jay_s_uk what are my options? Keeping mounting holes the same would be ideal. Any performance difference to be expected from upgrading DuetWifi to duet3?

It would rule out a short that was currently preventing the board from powering up properly.
It does not rule out a short that fried the board which is what was mentioned about it being worth confirming if there were any issues in the wiring before putting in a replacement.

@biomed27 well the duet 2 is pretty short of flash for storing the firmware and RAM for running the advanced functionality thats getting added. The Duet 3 doesn't have those issues. It also has CAN-FD support
