Cant get the WiFi to Work

Amilious

Just tried to comment out all the network lines, but got the same result

…
M997 S1
Trying to connect at 460800 baud: failed
Trying to connect at 230400 baud: failed
Trying to connect at 115200 baud: failed
Trying to connect at 74880 baud: failed
Error: Installation failed due to comm write error

If you were using USB power only at the time, try again with VIN power. Otherwise, ask for your Duet to be replaced or repaired - sounds like it needs a new WiFi module.

I figured it was probably that. I have read through the forums and that seemed likely to be the problem. I purchased this board on August 11th, and did not take it out of the box until last week. I project got delayed and i was not able to work on it until recently. I have been talking to my supplier(Filastruder). I am waiting for them to get a response from Think3DPrint3D, because I guess I am past the normal time for the exchange. I guess the six month warranty is only after November 14th purchases. The supplier has been very helpful and informative. I'm just a little frustrated because i have been excited to use this board on the HEVO that I have built, that ended up costing twice as much as i originally planed. At least i still have my trusty Anet A8. Ha ha ha. I do have a spare 24V ramps kit laying around, but i hope it does not come to that.

I replacement was approved. Thank you for your time and help. I would also like to thank Tim from Filastruder, for his work getting this issue resolved for me.

Just got this return, it seems the ESP8266 has developed an internal fault. It gets warm, not too hot to touch but noticeably warm. Can confirm the following:

SENT: M552
READ: WiFi module is disabled

SENT: M552 S1
READ: ok

SENT: M552
READ: WiFi module is being started

Issuing replacement.

I received the fixed or replaced board. I was able to update the firmware and connect to wifi!

Hi,

I've upgraded to 1.21RC2 and I'm encountering the same issue.
Can't get the board to add the SSID

WiFi -
Network state is starting
WiFi module is disabled

it was working perfectly with 1.19 just before

Send M552 S-1 to reset the wifi module, then M552 S0. Then send M122 and check what wifi firmware version it reports in the network diagnostics.

The WiFi module is stuck on starting. Copy the new DuetWiFiServer.bin file to /sys on the SD card in a PC, then put the card back in the Duet and try installing it using M997 S1 again.

yep, sorry for the noise, it's now ok :

I should have checked the filesize when I downloaded the bin…

Thanks !

I just tried this or noticed this issue and sent M997 S1 to the board via YAt … wonder if it changes anything

Yes, 24576 bytes is about 10% of the correct size.
