WiFi issues with 3.5.4

@fcwilt Reverting is easier, because you just upload the 3.4.6 release zip file. But 3.6 isn't too far away from being released, and it would be good to get your feedback if anything is broken for you before we release!

And people that have had WiFi issues have found the latest 3.6 beta (along with the other suggestions) fixes them.

Glad to help.

In the past I have avoided the betas and rcs as I did not realize it was possible to go back to an older version.

Knowing that I will give the beta a go.

I went to the site to download the beta files but I don't see the ZIP file of all of the Duet 3 files I am used to using.

So I guess I need some of the files list.

Which ones?

Thanks.

@fcwilt assuming you’re running standalone, the ones whose name matches your board(s), so probably Duet3Firmware_Mini5plus.uf2, and DuetWebControl-SD.zip. Upload them as-is.

Thanks much.

I will give that a try and let you know.

I gather the Duet WiFi Server at version 2.2.1 doesn't need to change?

Thanks.

@fcwilt no, as that’s the version that’s distributed with 3.6.0-beta.4

Well I updated to 3.6.0 BETA 4 and the WiFi connection failed even sooner than it did under 3.5.4.

The features of 3.6 sound interesting but not at the expense of no WiFi connection.

I was able to revert to 3.4.6 so that is good for now.

Thanks.

@fcwilt it would be good to work out why it disconnects for you. I’ll ask @dc42 what information he needs to troubleshoot, if you’re willing to give it another go. Otherwise you’re going to be stuck on 3.4, because as far as we’re concerned, the issue is fixed.

I have a couple of other Duet 3 boards I could setup on the bench IF testing without actually being able to print would prove anything.

There could still be connected steppers, temp sensors, etc - just not assembled into a working printer.

I had a bit of time so I setup a Mini 5+ on my bench - updated to 3.5.4.

It has no other hardware - just a minimal config.g.

I also include creating all of the global variables I normal use to see if that was part of the problem.

So far it is staying connected without issues.
