@aidar I installed it earlier today and this is my result. I get no automatic installation.

[NOVAprint]

@novaprint I tried installing the DWC package alone, not the whole thing. Also it seems that maestro also requires a differnt set of steps in order to complete successfully,

[NOVAprint]

@aidar Also these instructions imply that the two can be installed separately.

Installing the whole package would start a series of events that I was stuck on last week (two boards ago). I cannot get a straight answer as to why my previous board just evaporated on the firmware installation.

[NOVAprint]

@dc42 If I installed Duet Web Control 1.22.6 zip from this download is that following the correct procedure? The instructions imply that the DWC and duet Firmware can be entered into separately. I downloaded the DWC file connected to my computer uploaded it through the general settings file and well, nothing happened. Can a web setting stop this from happening? I cookies setting a popup setting something that can explain why I am doing what seems to be the correct process to no avail?

What happened when you uploaded the Duet2Firmware-2.02a.zip file? Unless you have a print in progress, it should ask if you want to install it.

Uploading DuetWebControl-1.22.6.zip instead will only update DuetWebControl. You cold try uploading that, then after it has updated DWC, upload the main zip file.

[NOVAprint]

@dc42 Uploading Duet web control only resulting in no change in the DWC interface. It did not ask me to install it. Do I need to install anything ELSE beside the DWC zip file? it never asked me to install anything. The files loaded, it confirmed the complete load, nothing was printing, and that was it loaded confirmed and then nothing. I was using an apple laptop how much would that matter?

[Phaedrux]

@novaprint It shouldn't matter at all coming from a Mac. At least it hasn't for me in the past.

If you put the SD card into the computer is there a /www folder? You may need to delete (or rename for backup) that folder and create a new one and place the contents of the DuetWenControl-1.22.6.zip into it.

I think something somewhere along the lines failed an update. Clearing the folder and starting from scratch should do it.

Followed your directions and the same old 1.21.1 is there. I then tried a differnt web browser, typed in the URL and the new web interface came up. It seems that the web interface does not change like a regular website would change day after day under a bookmark. So I was using a bookmark to get to DWC each time, when I needed to be using the URL. Once the URL was installed the correct versions of everything was made apparent. I would be willing to bet that I am the only person on the planet that ever does that. So don't make a note of it or anything. Bookmarks are only good for current versions the URL is the best practice when making changes.

It sounds to me that your browser had cached the files and was reluctant to fetch them again. Maybe using a bookmark affects whether your browser caches a site.

[richardmckenna]

@NOVAprint following on from what dc42 was saying about the browser caching files. Try accessing it from an incognito/in private browser window.

[NOVAprint]

@richardmckenna I like the incognito idea. It would stop the cache and I could still use a bookmark.

[NOVAprint]

@richardmckenna I recently erased my cache data and the new version of DWC came up. The machine is working however the motors are making more noise than originally. I do not know how to install stealth chop of spread. The notations across the Duet board us nnn to explain the variables. Is there a copy of the motor variables that I can dial in?
