Updating firmware from 1.15 to 1.19
-
I could use some help updating the firmware on my DuetWifi V1.0. I am new to this and I am stuck.
I have been following the instructions for getting connected to your duet
https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Guide/1.%29+Getting+Connected+to+your+Duet/7?lang=en
and got to step 5 "check your firmware version". In that step it I found that I am running firmware version 1.15b
That step recommends updating the firmware to 1.19. I clicked on the hyperlink. I put the SD card in my Windows computer. At this point I am stuck. I can't find version 1.19 on github. The only firmware I found was 1.21 and in that folder I'm not sure what I am supposed to download. I didn't have a www folder on the SD card so I created a new folder.Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I suggest you upgrade directly to firmware 1.21. Download DuetWiFiFirmware.bin and DuetWiFiServer.bin and put them in /sys on the SD card. Download DuetWebControl.zip and extract the contents to your empty /www folder. Send M997 S0:1 to install them. After a couple of minutes you should be able to connect using YAT and follow the new Getting Connected instructions.

Wow David you are really fast with the responses. Thank you. For SetNetwork what program do you create the macro in?

Any text editor should do. Note pad. Text pad.

Thanks Phaedrux,
It turns out the macro isn't needed when you upgrade directly to firmware 1.21.
when I sent M552 S1 I received the error below. I believe my router is at 2.4mh any ideas why i'm not able to connect?

It was a problem with the router. I unplugged it then plugged it back in. I'm connected !
Thank you guys for the help. Being able to update the firmware directly to 1.21 really helped. In the instructions it makes it sound like you need to update to 1.19 first then upgrade to a more recent version. The hardest part was finding where the files were. It took a lot of digging to find them https://github.com/dc42/RepRapFirmware/releases
My main confusion was I couldn't find which files to download. After that the instructions were clear and easy to follow. -
Hi,
I am confused...
I am not a PC expert or an expert in g code. I did build my own 3D printer using a Duet wifi.
I have just installed a new router and want the printer to be accessible via the web page as before with my old router.
I have been reading up on the method for connecting to a new router then noticed that if my FW was 1.18 I needed to update.
I arrived at this page but am now stumped by the comments put them in /sys on the SD card and empty /www folder. I am not allowed to create any folders with / in the folder name.
This might be a simple issue for you guys but I am now stuck.
Can I just have a process to use to get my printer connected to my new router using existing FW or can someone give me a blow by blow idiots guide to updating the FW...
Thanks.
Don

@hobdayd the / in the name of folders people are referring too just means that those folders are in the root of the SDcard. (As opposed to subdirectories)
-
So...
My SD card is (F)
I create 2 folders sys & www?
-
Those folders are probably already on the existing SD card in the Duet (easiest to update this in your PC.

Ok, sorry for asking basic questions...I have got this far but still having issues...
Printer is now online.

Good to see you have the new firmware loaded
If you have a look here:
https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Guide/1.)+Getting+Connected+to+your+Duet/7#s10
You will see that you need to send the exact information for your SSID and password.
From this
M587 S"Linksys05XXX 2.4GHz" P"jXXXXXXaf"
SENDING:M587 S"LINKSYS05XXX 2.4GHZ" P"JXXXXXXAF"It looks like you are using aprogram (Like pronterface) that is changing everything to capitals. You should use a terminal program like YAT which does not capitalise what it sends.
-
Ok thanks. I will try it tomorrow and report back.
-
Many thanks. The issue was I was using Pronterface which was as you said sending capital letters. Changed to YAT and worked fine.
I could not have done this without your help.
Many Thanks once again.
