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 :

Erasing 24576 bytes...

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.
