My Beta 2 disconnects when uploading larger files. Other than that it works perfect so far.

I tried the Beta 2 today for two prints. Everything went fine. Then I wanted to go back to 1.21 and using DWC I hade to upload the Duet2CombinedFirmware.bit three times. The first two times I dod not receive the message to update the firmware. Once in 1.21 I changed some settings in config.g and on sage the DWC message detected a new firmware and asked again to update to 1.21. This can well be related to a "disconnect" after uploading a file although I did not notice on the DWC.

@dc42 I can confirm that when uploading small files <1 meg it works fine. When uploading any larger files I get a disconnect.

I only ever run one device with DWC (Windows 7 Pro PC) and I only have 4 gcode files on my SD card.

Once I reconnect with DWC the prints run perfect.

Those of you who are still experiencing disconnects immediately after uploading a file with beta 2: are you using WiFi or Ethernet Duets?

@dc42 : Wifi

Firmware Name: RepRapFirmware for Duet 2 WiFi/Ethernet
Firmware Electronics: Duet WiFi 1.02 or later + DueX5
Firmware Version: 2.0(RTOS)beta2 (2018-04-19b1)
WiFi Server Version: 1.21
Web Interface Version: 1.21.1-b3

I'm using a Wifi board. The latest DWC, Duex5, and a 7" paneldue 2.0.

Also Wifi.

Thanks all, it looks like the problem with disconnections after file uploads may be solved on the Duet Ethernet but not on the WiFi. I'll do some more testing.

@dc42 Should I have my SD card formated a certain way? I never did anything with it when it arrived with my Duetwifi board. I just used it as is. My download speeds are usually very fast at over 600-700 mbits. This disconnect thing just has me wondering?

I believe the disconnects are new to version 2.0, caused by the fact that the network and PanelDue (or USB) are now handled by separate tasks. This means that they may both try to allocate buffers at the same time instead of sequentially, so it's much more likely that the system will run out of buffers. The old firmware would return an incomplete JSON response to DWC when that happened, which caused a disconnect. The 2.0beta2 firmware is supposed to release buffers and retry instead, and has solved the disconnection problem that I was able to reproduce on the Duet Ethernet and Duet Maestro. I will investigate further - perhaps there is a second cause of disconnections - but so far I have been unable to reproduce the problem with 2.0beta2.

Those of you getting disconnects after file uploading, what is the exact message from DWC?

@dc42 DWC file upload bar becomes red showing error (see my video I posted earlier - https://youtu.be/nM1sf3GiA3Y) and then DWC disconnects

Here is my error.

The file size was 16 meg. I loaded a 4.5 Meg file withhout issue.

Thanks, that "Not authorised" error is different from the issues that I fixed.

Thanks, yours is a "not authorised" error too.

Hi Tim,
I had the same not authorised error. I reset my Duet password back to the original and it worked OK. Not sure if this is the same issue, but fixed my upload issues with beta-1

A few questions,

If this is an issue with permissions, how do I or other wifi users fix it locally?
Why does it only happen on larger file sizes?
Why is don't I get the error when using 1.21?

Hi Jim, Thanks for the input. I'm not sure what to try? I never changed my password from day 1 of installing my Duet?

I'm using Chrome on Windows 7 pro. I've never had disconnect issues before but maybe I don't have something configured right in my chrome browser that 2.0 beta brought to light? Got any suggestions to try?

I am closing this thread because 2.0beta3 is now available. See https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/5120/new-experimental-firmware-2-0beta3-available.
